Can Love Be Happiness

Chapter 20: The Feeling

“My name is Henry.”

~~~~~

“Henry? Are you from Storybrooke?”

“Yes-s I am.” This was the boy that always ate lunch by himself, who never had any friends at school. The boy that I brought sweets to if he was sad, he never saw my face because I would always leave them in his locker, on his desk, or even his bed.

“What are you doing here?”

“Pan bought me here, he says that I’m here to save magic.” Save magic? Peter has not told me anything about this. Suddenly we heard footsteps coming near us, like many people were running to us. The yells and hollers made the conclusion that it was the lost boys. I looked back at Henry and he looked scared and his face turned pale.

“Go I’ll keep them distracted.” Henry looked at me and nodded before he ran off in the other direction of the lost boys who were coming closer by the second. The lost boys emerge from the trees as Henry was a good distance away. The last of the group of boys to step out of the dense jungle was Felix.

“Anna what are you doing here?” he asked me and he looked upset.

“I was taking a walk, I guess I strayed too far.” I looked at him in his hurt eyes “What are you looking for?”

“Nothing, but you should get back to your camp before Pan sees you.” I walked towards the group and nodded my head. Before I left I hugged Felix tightly, tears coming to my eyes.

“I miss you so much.”

“I miss you too Anna, I love you and I will make sure nothing hurts you.” I pull back and see his eyes were glazed over with tears.

“Okay.”

After the encounter with the lost boys I stayed on the path that would lead me to my camp. The sun was rising high in the sky, Tink would be up by now. I’ll just tell her I went for a walk, yeah a walk and I didn’t want change. Oh who am I kidding she will see right through me. She will know that I did something else. She wouldn’t have to know that I spent the night with Peter, right? I would just tell her that I slept on the beach.

I continued my thoughts through the quite forest until an arm wrapped around my torso. I tried to scream but a hand cut me off. I struggled in the persons arms and fought for my life. What if was Bov and he was taking me back to that awful cave. I bit the possessor’s hand and they yanked it back while yelling in pain. I ran forwards a little and pulled out my dagger prepared to fight this demon. I turned and saw a group of people who looked in their twenties. I looked at the person who was holding me. His head was down while he held his hand close to his body, the bite mark clearly show on it. His brown hair was messy and he looked to be around my age. He lifted his head up and I could see memories flashing through my mind. His brown eyes stared back at me with shock and he had a small smile on his lips.

“John?”

“Annabelle.”

“What are you doing here?”

“I came to save Henry, what are you doing here? I thought you were in Story Brooke.”

“I was but Peter’s shadow brought me here. You are saving Henry?” A pang of hurt went through my body. How could my own fiancé not even know that I wasn’t home? And yet he wasn’t here to save me he was here to save Henry.

“He was taken by that demon Pan. He wants him for something.” The large group of people shifted in uneasiness.

“Who are they?” I pointed to the large group of adults with my knife who looked angry and sad at the same time.
