Rumpelstiltskin's Heir

No. I'm not leaving Our father.

I didn't know what to say. For one I was a little disappointed in Hook for moving on so fast. I had actually thought he cared about me. Secondly and most importantly I was angry. How could Emma do this? I thought she loved my brother. I thought she cared about him. She said that she loved him. She told him she loved him before he fell though that bloody portal. Before we thought he was dead. How could she go for Hook out of all people? Doesn't she understand? She belongs with my brother. My brother loves her for Merlin's sake! My brother came back to Neverland for her and their son-oh. Oh I'm an idiot. I should have told her. This is all my fault.

Pan stared at me with complete pleasure. He knew he had hit a soft spot. What he didn't know was that I wasn't angry about Hook being with Emma. I was angry about Emma not being with my brother. Which if you really think about it...is all Pan's fault.

"They kissed?" I asked trying hard to breathe

"Well...not yet no. But they will. Soon. After all they do fancy each other."

I shook my head "I should have known you lied."

"I never lie."

"Where is Bae?" I asked changing the subject

"Baelfire? Why would you want to know that?"

"Because it's your fucking fault he almost died. Where is he?"

"I'll give you a hint. I he's with his father."

Eyes widened. "You know where m-his father is?"

Pan chuckled "Aldara. This is my Island."

"Right. Well I've got to go now."

Before he could say anything else I ran off. I've had enough of Peter Pan for now. But after a while I came to a halt. Where do I go? I've got no idea where to find my brother or my father.

Close your eyes. Follow your heart. I will lead you there Aldara. Trust me.

"I trust you Seb." I whispered before closing my eye. My feet began to move forward, but I maintained my eyes closed. 

Open your eyes now.

My eyes fluttered open. I was behind a few trees, but I could hear my father and brother.

Good luck Aldara

"Thank you Auxi."

I pushed back the leaves and stepped in with a wide smile, not being able to contain my joy. But what I saw quickly erased the smile.

My father was paralyzed, still in the middle, Neal had Henry in his arms, and seemed to be leaving.

"Dad? Neal? W-whats going on?"

My brother turned to me "Aldara!" he set Henry down and gave me a hug. I hugged him back feeling the warmth of my thought-to-be-dead brother. 

"It's nice to see you." I smiled, pulling away from our hug

"It's nice to see you too kid. Where are the others?"

"I got separated from them...what happened to dad?"

"I paralyzed him."

My eyes widened with shock

"I had to Aldara! He was going to kill Henry!"

"What the bloody hell are you talking about!?"

He stared at me for a second "For a minute there you sounded like Hook."

"Neal, why did you do this?!"

"Look there's a prophecy that says that Henry is our father's undoing. I can't let Henry near our father. "

"Why because Henry is his undoing?"

"No. Our father has the habit of saving himself. I know that he won't be able to help himself. He'll end up killing my son, I have to keep him safe."

"I won't kill him Bae. Please believe me. You can't go on your own. You'll get caught by Pan." called my father

"That's a risk I'm willing to take. Come on Aldara." he picked Henry up and motioned me to follow.

"You're completely mad." I said angrily

"Aldara we don't have time-"

"I don't care Neal. I cannot comprehend how in the world you can't trust our father."

"Aldara. He abandoned me for his power, whats to say he won't kill Henry for it?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe because he looked for you all those years? Because he came here to save Henry? How about because he has a heart? Or because he loves us? He's our father for merlin's sake!"

"Aldara you wouldn't understand-"

"Oh really? Which one of us was given away by their mother? Oh wait thats right me!" I know how this must feel Bae but you have to look past that. Our father is here to help, he's fighting his own demons to help you, and you can't see that? Are you blind?"

"I don't have time for this. Aldara are you coming or not?"

"No. I'm not leaving our father."

"Fine" Neal left.

I turned to my father "Are you ok?"

"Yes" he said barely above a whisper. My heart fell as I watched my father helplessly fighting back the tears. 

"I'm so sorry dad. I wish Neal could see what I see. I wish he could understand how hard you're trying."
