How is it you? (Henry Mills)

Part 3 Chapter 29

Hi guys!
So I came up with an idea as a way to keep everyone in the loop.

I now have an Instagram dedicated to this book for updates and behind the writing kind of stuff. Go follow Happyduck5_wattpad!! I also wanted to see who was reading and I thought that it would be a good way to get to know you guys!

So if you want updates and have questions about the book I highly recommend giving that insta a follow!

For this chapter I did some things I was really exited about! Some of you may not like it which I know some of you are opposed to it. But bare with me. Writers do things for a reason and I promise you'll love the outcome by the time the wicked witch is defeated!

Please enjoy!
💋 Happyduck5 💜

*Annalynn's POV*

Dawn hits the sky and Lucas decides to ride with me in the front while the others sleep in the back. It's quite for a while between us so that they have time to fall asleep. When we know they are resting peacefully, that's when he finally talks to me.

"So, what exactly in the plan?"

"Ian, George, Oliver and Mason are staying with me in the castle. Christian will be splitting up with Nathan during the takeover. I'm supposed to be pretending to be a young queen and the four are going to be my soldiers making sure I'm safe."

"This is bad timing isn't it?"

"Not at all. I can't tell you're hesitant and I get that. You don't have to tell him right away. You can choose to be one of my soldiers, that will give you some time to get to know him and trust him more. We can tell him after all this is over, that way his mind only focuses on war."

"I guess your right...Do you always have an answer for everything?"

"Most of the time." I smirk.

We spend the next four hours talking. I tell him about Neverland and more of the plan at the castle while he tells me about his life in the Court of Miracles.

Once the others are up, we stop for a small break to eat and drink water from a close river we found.

"Are we ever going to have time to bathe?" George sniffs his armpit with a face.

"This isn't deep enough, we'll find higher water when we get closer."

"Do we even have time for that?" Christian asks.

"Yeah, all five of you will go in and then after I'll do my washing. Unless Lucas isn't as comfortable, then I'll go after him." I look over at Lucas for his intake.

"I...um...it's fine I'll jump in the guys."

"Community bathing was common on Neverland." Ian informs him.

"I can't tell you how many times they all begged me to join them." I giggle.

"It comes with the roll of being the only girl." Christian defends them while taking off his shirt to change it.

I turn away keeping my eyes at the ground quickly but just as fast looking back because for some reason I feel the need to take it in. The sun beams down on his back, peeking over his shoulders. He has a slight outline of muscle on his stomach but his arms are noticeable more than his small v-line.

"And yet you're the only one who ended up in love with me." I shoot back.

Ian, who's taking a sip of water automatically starts coughing on what was going down as a reaction to my remark.
