A Cursed Heart ((OUAT fanfic))

Chapter 9

Faith's P.O.V

The next day I sat in Granny's diner waiting for Tyler. I don't know what he would look like anyway, so this would be hard. Ruby and I talked as I waited. Tonight we decided to go for a run. It would feel great to exercise and stretch ourselves from all this worry and stress. Especially me. My mom wants me back in school tomorrow. I don't want to go, but might as well. If I ever want to have a life then I better graduate with the rest of my class.

I waited for an hour and no sign of Tyler. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a prank. Hell, he'll regret that. I stood and walked out after waving goodbye to Ruby. I walked down the street. The wind started to pick up viciously. I ran into an alleyway and his from the wind. A hand covered my mouth and pulled me further into the alley. I tugged on the hand over my mouth and finally turned kicking the person to the ground hard. I froze.

"Hello, love." Pan said.

I backed and ran out of the alley. He followed behind me. I ran faster skidding on ice a few times. I needed somewhere to hide. I ran but stopped in the middle of the street before getting hit. I ran to the passenger seat.

"What was that?!" the boy said.

"Just get me far from this area, please!" I said.

He blinked and saw Pan coming, "get in."

I hopped in and he zipped past Pan and Felix and kept driving. We got to the graveyard after a while. He stopped the car and looked at me.

"Explain who you are and who the hell was that?!" he said.

I must've freaked him out. Doesn't surprise me right now.

"I'm Faith Jones and that was Peter Pan." I said.

"You're Faith Jones?"

I nodded.

"I'm Tyler..From the phone yesterday. I.was running late."

"I kinda noticed that." I said and leaned back.

"Sorry about that..."

"Dont worry...I'm just glad you helped me escape."

"What does he want anyway? He seemed like he was on a mission or something." He said looking around.

"I don't know...maybe to take me back to Neverland."

"That place is real? Wow...then Zelina wasn't kidding."

"Zelina? Who's that?"

"Some witch."

"Witch....green skin, red hair, bright blue eyes?"

"Yeah. Why?" he looked at me.

"She's....she's trying to take my powers. But how do you know her?" I asked.

"Because she killed my parents a few weeks ago. She took me in and forced me to work for her."

"Well right now you won't. Regina won't allow that witch here."

He nodded in agreement.

We heard a loud screech. It sounded like Pan's shadow. I got out of the car and Tyler followed. We ran to the pavilion and opened it. We ran through it and hid in one of the bathrooms. Regina had this place created for Halloween parties and such for those who like a good scare. Which right now it's a hiding place. Tyler and I bent down in the stall closest to the door. Those stalls are never looked in anyway. We stayed low footsteps coming in and walking around.

"She's not here Peter Pan." said Felix.

"My shadow said she was here. It saw her run in here with another boy." Pan said.

"They're probably in another area making out or something." something in Felix's voice sounded like humor.

I heard a thump and Pan yell, "That's not going to happen! Understand!"

And with that was a giant slam and they left. I climbed onto the toilet and looked over. I sniffed the air. Clean from Pan and Felix. I climbed down and slipped slightly. Tyler caught me quickly and helped me stand straight.

"Thanks." I said.

"Sure thing. Let's get back to town. Maybe someone can help you hide or something." Tyler said.

"Or, I could go back to my apartment that my mother, Regina, and Gold made the place safe in case Pan came back." I said.

"Good plan. Let's get going then." He said and walked out. I followed him.

We.got back to his car and drove off. We didn't sense or hear Pan's shadow anymore. Which worked okay for.me.. We got back to town and pulled up in front of my mom's apartment building. He followed me.inside. My dad.was.home. Great. I waved.

"Hey, papa." I said.

"Its late, lass. Where have you been?" he asked.

"Had a little trouble. But no.worries now."

"Alright. Who's the lad?"

"This is Tyler...he's um, New to Storybrook." I said. Tyler waved to my dad.

"Aye, I see. Angel's cousin, right?" my dad asked.

Tyler nodded, "Yes sir."

After the introductions my father asked me some questions what the "problem was". I told him of course. Which he knew if I was lying or not. He is my father and all, so I told him everything. He frowned when I finished.

"You're only staying here and going to school. You're not allowed out of the building." He said.

I nodded in agreement. My father led Tyler out. Since Tyler is now staying at Storybrook, I guess we'll be seeing a lot of each other. I walked upstairs and layed down on my bed. An image of Pan went through my mind. I covered my head. I jumped as my hand burned my neck. I looked at him hand. It was red, almost a blood red. I sat up in my bed as black lines started to cut through my hand.

What's happening to me......?
