Rumpelstiltskin's Heir

Don't Get me Started

"You haven't changed at all." he smirked

I shrugged, trying to act calm "I didn't grow up. "

"Are you still with Hook?"

I shifted "That doesn't matter Peter. Where is Henry?"

Peter grinned "I already told Emma" 

My eyes widened.

"No don't worry Aldara. I didn't kill her. Not yet."

I summoned fire and threw it at him, barley missing by a hair.

He chuckled "How cute. You tried to kill me."

"Next time I won't miss Peter. Where is Henry?"

"Emma is the only one who can find him now. Why so much interest in a simple boy?"

"I could say the same."

He took a few steps closer, and I backed up, not wanting to be near him. Sadly I was distracted, and hadn't noticed that there wasn't anywhere for me to go. My back pressed against the cold tree. He chuckled evilly, he knew I was cornered. He held my shoulders against the tree with his hands.

"You know what I like about you?"

"That I have a wonderful personality?" 

"No." he leaned closer, his lips lightly brushing my mine "I like how even when the odds are against you, even when you're terrified...you still try to be brave."

I pushed him off. "And do you know what I like? I like when you're as far away from me as possible."

A twig snapped and I turned around. Nothing. When I turned back, Pan was gone. Ugh, he gives me the creeps.

I silently walked back to camp, only to find everyone up. 

"What happened?" 

"Why did you take so long?" asked Hook, with a hint of and anger and worry in his voice

"I went to pee...I told you."

"Did you see anything?"

"No...why? What happened?" I asked deciding the little talk I had with Pan was best if kept a secret.

"Pan was here" answered Regina

"W-what? What happened?" I asked trying to sound shocked and worried

"He gave me this." Emma held out a paper "It's a map. He said I would only be able to read it if I admit what I've been denying all this time."

"The map leads to...?"

"Henry. But I can't figure out what I have to admit. I know who I am...but it won't work."

I crossed my arms "That's how Pan is. He likes games. This one in particular is one of his favorites."

"And what would that be?" asked Regina

I shrugged "A scavenger hunt."

~During Walk~

I walk at the back, my dagger at hand. I smiled at it. This wan't the same dagger I had when I was hiding in the cave. Nope. I found this one in my father's shop. He gave it to me one day when I was helping him in the shop.

I nearly bumped into Hook. He was handing something to Emma to drink. I frowned.  Emma had explained how Peter Pan was a little boy and a good guy in the other world. I giggled when he asked how he looked in those stories.

Emma smiled at me and then turned to him and explained his look. I giggled again. He grinned at me "Did I really look that bad?"

"Don't get me started" I giggled "It was terrible. You look nothing like the Disney version"
