  Emma and the rest update us on everything they know, and we do the same.
  "So Henry and Pan will be at Skull Rock tomorrow?" I repeat.
  "From what we know from the lost boys and Gold, yeah." Emma brushes her hair away from her face and behind her ear.
  "Gold?" I question.
  "Rumplestiltskin," Regina clarifies. I nod.
  "I can get us there," I offer. All eyes turn to me, causing my smile to falter. "What did I do?" I put my hands up in defense.
  "How the bloody hell do you know where Skull Rock is? And more importantly, how can you get us there?" Hook growls whilst cornering me against a tree. David and Regina rush towards us and pry Hook off of me.
  "Well, first of all, I don't know where it is. In fact, I've never heard of it," I explain. Everyone looks hopelessly confused. "But, I have magic. Magic that takes me wherever I'm thinking of. I can simply think of Skull Rock and teleport us all there. It, uh, it will require hand holding though. Sorry."
  Hook looks like he wants to murder me, but he doesn't have a good enough reason to. He backs away. Everyone still looks slightly confused, but in all honesty they could very well just be tired.
  "You all look tired. We should probably make camp so that we'll be able to rescue Henry tomorrow," I suggest.
  "That's not a bad idea," Snow agrees.
   "Yeah, we'll need our strengths-" Charming begins when I suddenly interrupt.
  "Wait!" I exclaim. I pull a vial out of my shirt attached to a chain around my neck.
  "What might that be?" Snow asks.
  "Pixie Dust," Tinkerbell, Hook, Rumple, and I all say in unison.
  "How did you get that?" Tinkerbell asks, somewhat amazed.
  "It was given- I mean, I found it on a trek through the jungle once," I quickly lie. "You guys should take it. You'll be able to make it to Skull Rock if anything happens to me during the night."
  "Why would anything happen?" Snow asks sweetly. I shrug.
  "I don't know. It's just always good to have a backup," I explain. In reality, Pan could totally teleport me back to him or kidnap me during the night, but they couldn't know that. "You guys know how to use it?"
  Baelfire and Tinkerbell both nod their heads. I hand Baelfire the vial, and he smiles graciously.
  "Thank you, Audrey." He hugs me.
  "Alright guys, let's get some sleep," Snow suggests. "We've got a long and dangerous day ahead of us."
