I'm not really lost

Chapter 22

I opened my eyes and stared up at the huge building we stood in front of. "Are you sure this is it?" I asked Dad as I popped my gum. "Yes, now let's go." Dad said and I looked at him. "Nope." I said plainly to him. Dad turned to stare at me and I stared up at him. "You go, I'll just sit here and wait." I told him. I took a seat and stared up at him. "Annabelle Milah Jones, you're going up there with me right now." Dad said and I stared at him. "Nope." I said popping my gum loudly. He sighed and walked away from me. I sat there and watched as he walked up the stairs to the door. "What a jerk ah?" I turned to see the guy I've never met before. "Not interested. Go away." I said, turning away from him. I watched as he got up and walked away. He turned to face me and I waved goodbye to him. I turned back to the building and stared up at the building. The faster Emma remembers the faster we can get out of New York. I saw the door open and Dad came out. He had a slight limp and I bit my lip. What did you do?

I stood there after the smoke cleared and looked around. I was alone. I kept looking around as I stood in the woods. I looked down and I was wearing what I was in Storybrooke. I kept looking around and I knew that this wasn't Neverland or Storybrooke. Where the hell am I? I started to walk down the path to look for anyone. "Hello?" I screamed. "Hello? Is anyone there?" I called out, but there was nothing. "Where is everyone?" I muttered. "Dad?" I called out. "Felix?" I called out again. I stopped walking and looked around. I'm alone. I'm not lost, I'm forgotten. I shook my head and looked around again. This is all forest and all forest. It had to end at some point. I sighed and kept walking, no point in standing around. The forest wasn't getting any darker or lighter. Will this ever end? I kept walking down the road hoping to find someone or something. Anything but trees. This well end, it has to, just keep walking.

I heard something that sounded like a horse, running this way. I pushed myself to the edge of the road, to let it pass. If there's a horse, there's something ahead. I could take the horse if I had to. The horse was getting closer and I waited, before I saw black and white horse. I watched as the horse slowed down and I looked up at the rider, hand on the hilt in my sword. I stared and sighed. I watched as he got off the horse and I ran up to him. "Dad." I said, before I hugged him. "I was worried about you." He told me before he let me down. "I'm ok." I said as I pulled away from him. " Have you seen Felix?" I asked him as I pulled a hair out of my mouth. "No. haven't seen that blonde haired mop." Dad said to me and I stared at him. "Dad." I said. " Right sorry." He told me. "Where were you going?" I asked him. "To find the Jolly Roger." He told me and I started to walk away from him. Dad quickly used his hook to loop around my wrist. I turned to look at him. "The faster we find her, the faster we'll find him." Dad said and I sighed. "Let's go then." I told him.

We followed Emma all day to the restaurant she clearly had a date at, back to her apartment. I had to get Dad to listen to me when I said we'd have to get a room for the night. I had to drag him away for a few hours to sleep. We may have broken into a hotel, there were no cameras. We had to quickly leave by the window early in the morning as to not get caught. I slowly closed the window behind us. And now we're standing around in a park. I just want to go home. Maybe I should have stayed in the cloud. I sighed as I sat down and looked up at dad. "If she doesn't come then what?" I asked him. "We'll have to keep trying." Dad said back to me. "We're not getting any younger." I told him and he laughed. "We'll have to be patient." Dad said to me. "I've been patient, or have you forgotten the last year?" I asked him. He sighed and turned away from me. "She's coming." Dad said and I got up and walked from them. I hide behind a tree and watched them.

"Swan, I knew that'd work. It's good to see you again." Dad said. "Why didn't you tell me it was Neal's place?" Emma asked and she was not happy. "I think the tone of your voice answers that quite clearly. You never would have gone if I had." Dad said to her. They talk about the photos and about Storybrooke. Dad said something about her parents and the whole kingdom. Emma said something about New York and they kept talking. "There's only one way you'll get those. Drink this." Dad said and I sighed. She's going to call for help. "Drink the thing the crazy guy just offered me? No, thank you. " Emma said to him. Dad told her it would help her remember and to take a leap of faith. "Call me love one more time and you'll lose the other hand." Emma said before cuffing dad with handcuffs. "Swan, what are you doing?" Dad asked. "Making sure that you never bother my son and me again." Emma said. I quickly ran out and took the bottle from dad and ran past the cops.
