Savage 》Once Upon A Time

Tallahassee

Neverland (3rd POV)

The little girl was laughing as she ran through the forest. She snuck off her father's ship without anyone noticing. He heard her Papa's words about staying on the ship. That it's too dangerous for her to leave it on her own. The little girl would sigh as she lay her lead on the railings, watching her Papa leave. How could a place like Neverland be dangerous? So she decided that one night, when everyone is asleep, she would sneak off.

The girl's eyes widen in amazement when she landed ashore. Sure it was dark, but there was little fireflies that surrounded her. She got a clear view of the Jolly Roger. The huge moon in the background. The only source of light the seas have. She let out a little laugh of glee before she spun around and ran.

Her little body went over the log before she ran around. Her laughter could be heard throughout Neverland, which the boy knew she was there. The girl laughed and laughed before she felt herself collide into something. Or more like someone.

She looked up and noticed the boy with sandy blonde hair. Green eyes that pierced her blue ones. The girl knew he wasn't from the ship. She knew everyone and this boy isn't part of it.

"Hi," the girl said excitedly.

"Hello," the boy said. "You're far away from home aren't you?"

The girl shook her head. "No. My Papa's ship's isn't that far. Have you seen it? It's huge."

The boy raised his eyebrow at her. "Papa?" The girl nodded. The guy got on one knee so he could be leveled with her. "Who's you're Papa?"

"Killian Jones. I'm his daughter."

Daughter? So the drunken pirate's manage to procreate? The boy thought. He hid a sly smirk on his face. Maybe Neverland will have its very first Lost Girl after all.

The boy gave her the most charming smile he could muster. "Tell me, what's you're name?"

"I'm Cassandra. But you could call me Cas," the girl said. "Or Cassie. But -" she looked around before motioning the boy to come closer. He did and she spoke in his ear, like if it was a secret. "- don't call me that around Papa. Only he calls me that."

The boy held his hand up. "Your secret is safe with me."

His words made the girl smile. "What's your name?"

"Oh. I'm Peter. Peter Pan."

Fairytale World (Cas's POV)

I am ecstatic to have Papa back. If only Snow and Emma could see that. Emma would make sure that I'm either next to her or Mulan. Far away from Papa. I got so annoyed with it, I glared at her and made my way over to him. Papa gave Emma a satisfied smirk, knowing that I will always pick him over anything else. Well, I have spent years looking for him.

We made it towards the beanstalk. It's just like I've heard in all those stories. The beanstalk reached the sky. Vines being the only thing that surrounds it. A few twist and turns, but looks sturdy enough.

"It's a little freakier than I remember from the story," Emma said.

"Reminds me of death," Mulan added.

"Encouraging," Snow said.

Papa's gaze didn't leave the stalk. "Well, your compass awaits. Shall we?" Then he took the lead as walked closer.

"Wait. If these beans...create..." Emma started, trying to find the right word. "Portals, why not just pick one and go home? Why the compass?"

I sighed. "Oh, Emma, there's so much you don't know. We need the compass because there aren't any more beans. That whole Jack and the Beanstalk story is just a fluff, but completely wrong."
