A Twist of Fate

Chapter Six

~A Few Days Later Even Though Time Doesn't Really Exist On Neverland~

Amanda managed to sit herself up, leaning against the wall of the cage. No one had come for her. No sign that help was coming either. She was trying so hard to stay strong, believing she could make it long enough to see her friends again, but she was losing hope. The story clan was away doing something else. Regina put a protection spell around you so that no one could find or take her.

She was seriously considering letting herself die to end her pain. Even though it would mean she would die before seeing you, Felix, Michael, Philip, Emmett, Garrett... Peter.

She was dying, so she might as well admit it to herself. She was in love. It was the person she nor most people on this island would never expect it to be. It was Peter Pan. She was in love with Peter Pan. [current me @ past me who wrote this shit: honey, your compulsory heterosexuality is showing] 

She looked all around her, wishing for some sort of sign of rescue, but there was nothing. She was alone. She was going to die alone. Peter Pan would never know how she felt. She would never know how he felt about her and if he reciprocated her love for him. She let a tear fall from her dull gray eyes and slide down her faded white cheeks.

"It won't be long before Henry gives you his heart! Can't you wait a little longer?" you said as you and Felix tried to keep up with your leader. Pan decided he was going to save Amanda right then and there.

"I've waited too long as it is," he claimed. "I must get her back."

"But what if it's a trap?" Felix tried to reason.

"Then I'll outsmart them or get trapped," he said. "Either one."

"Since when did Amanda's life become more important than yours," Felix said, remembering when Pan said similar words to him. "Since when has (y/n) become more important than my orders?" "Since when I realized I love her." Felix hoped this would get him to confess how he felt about Amanda.

Pan paused and thought about what his second in command said.

"I don't have to justify anything I do to you," he said without even turning around. You and Felix looked at each other, a look of defeat on both of your faces. You both watched as he walked away.

[Really past me? A sad song? That's really cringey but I'm wayyy too lazy to rewrite it.]

Amanda sat hopelessly in her cage, staring blankly into space. She had used what she had left of her magic to lift the protection spell. She decided to just give up. Soon, she would let herself die.

"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my love," she sang. Her voice came out softly, then grew louder with each line.

Peter Pan ran endlessly through Neverland's forest, searching desperately for Amanda. He couldn't find her.

"I can't hide, can't hide, can't hide what has come. I have to go. I have to go. I have to go and leave you alone." She thought of what could have been if Emma hadn't cut off her wings and she and Peter ended up together. She reminded herself that it would never happen. "But always know. Always know. Always know that I love you so. I love you so. I love you so, oh."

Pan stopped when he thought he heard the unmistakable sound of Amanda's singing. It was so familiar to him. After all, she burst out into song many nights, usually getting (y/n) to join her. He ran towards her voice.

"Goodbye green eyes. Goodbye for now. Goodbye sunshine. Take care of yourself," Amanda continued. She hoped no one would grieve her for too long, then wondered if anyone would even grieve her at all. "I have to go. I have to go. I have to go and leave you alone." She closed her eyes. "But always know. Always know. Always know that I love you so. I love you so, oh. I love you so, oh."

She opened her one lively blue eyes one last time to get one last look at the beautiful island she has called home for so long now. She recalled all of the blissful memories she's collected through her years on Neverland. She appreciated the despondent times she's had and cherished the bitter ones. She thought of all the magnificent people she's befriended. Especially (y/n). Though they've only known each other for a short time compared to how long she's been on Neverland, she felt a real connection to her friend.

This is it. This is where I die, she thought. Once again, she closed her eyes and took a deep, shaky breath. She was about to let it all go when...

"Amanda!" someone called out to her. She didn't open her eyes to see who it was. She knew by his voice. She smiled and sang...

"I love you so..."

Pan practically dove to the cage. He tore the door open, reached inside, and gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her out. He pushed her hair from her face, wondering why it was so dull. He noticed a pair of detached wings lying a few feet away. He looked back at her, realizing her wings weren't on her back.

"No," he breathed. He picked her up and ran as fast as he could back to camp.

"Someone get Michael!" he shouted as soon as he got there. Everyone turned to him, seeing Amanda's seemingly lifeless body in his arms.

Your eyes widened at the sight of her. She looked almost unrecognizable with her skin so pale and her hair so ashen.

Michael ran over to them and took Amanda from Pan's arms. He rushed over to the medical tent and laid her on a bed. You rushed over to them just in time for Pan's explanation.

"Someone cut off her wings," he explained. "I found her barely alive sitting in a cage." Michael nodded and shooed everyone away. You stood nervously outside the tent with Pan and Felix.

"What's going on?" Henry asked curiously.

"Nothing of your concern, Henry," Pan said.

"Good," Henry said. "You said you weren't keeping any secrets... but you lied. I found Wendy." You knew that this was the next stage in the plan. You only hoped Pan could keep on his act.

"Henry, I can explain," Pan said.

"She's dying, isn't she?"

"I'm afraid she is," he said. "Like much of the island because the magic here is slipping away. I would've told you but... I didn't want you to have that weight on your shoulders, knowing that a young girl's life depends on you."

"So I'm the only one who can save magic?" Henry asked. Pan nodded. "How do I do it?"

"The question isn't how, Henry," he said. "It's where." 

A/N: Oh my god. there is not enough you x felix moments. I need to sprinkle some in before this ends.
