Neverland's Captive - Ouat Peter Pan

Chapter 62 - Somebody That I Used To Know

Baelfire's P.O.V:

Sitting in that cramped cage, I could only hear about half of what was being said but it was just about enough to get the gist of what everyone's secrets were.

Hooks secrets stung the most. Even though I was annoyed by the fact he was going after Emma, I was more disappointed to hear what he did but not surprised. He betrayed me too.

One sentence stood out the most out of his explanation though. Alice was working for Pan. I didn't want to accept it but it could be true. It would explain some of her actions at least.

Like how she didn't panic in the same way as she used to by his presence. She had a sense of calmness that he wouldn't do anything to her and he didn't.

I was the one attacked by lost boys and she just stood there and watched it happen. It makes me wonder whether she was sent there by him to distract me.

But then again if she was working for him, why would he suppress her magic? Even so, it could be all a part of his games. I know how Pan likes to play tricks on people.

For Wendy though, there was no excuse. No possible reason for her to do what she did unless she worked for him. Did he order her to do so? And did she say yes because she was on his side?

I couldn't even look her in the eyes after what she did to her and I still had no real explanation as to why the hell she would do it in the first place. It wasn't like her, at least I thought it wasn't. Maybe I don't really know her at all.

I knew that after what happened there must have been more to it than that. Although the situation was confusing, I gathered that they had a lot more history between them than I initially believed.

What the hell happened after I escaped Neverland to possess her to be on his side? And if she was on his side then why were arguing? Nothing made sense and it wasn't adding up in the way it should.

I had so many questions, that was clear. I had to tell them what I had found out about her too and it was obvious that it was something Hook wasn't aware of. I heard no mention of magic from his words, so I was presuming he didn't know.

Emma came to let me out as soon as Hook was finished. She told me her secret and it was safe it was something I was not expecting.

Truthfully, I wanted to forget what she told me so I didn't have to think about it. That's why I tried to focus on Alice and Henry instead.

Walking out the caves everyone was in silence and shock. There was so much tension in the air that no one knew what to say. Mary Margret was doing her best to avoid David and Emma didn't even know how to look at Hook.

The tension was finally cut when Mary Margret turned around to face Hook. The annoyed state she was in confirmed he was in for an interrogation. I could see the disturbance in his face as he gulped.

"You've got some explaining to do", she says in an accusing tone.

"I think I might be able to help with that", I reveal. Emma shoots a look of surprise at me and instantly knows what I'm saying.

"Neal", Emma says in an accusing tone.

"You knew too?", she questions as I give her a nod to confirm.

They all look surprised and bewildered by the statement. All expect Hook who already knew. It's clear we were all fed up with the secrecy by this point.

"So the both of you just kept all this to yourself? Don't you think it could have been important to mention considering the situation we're in?!", Mary Margret shouts at us like a mother telling off her kids. We both stand and shift uncomfortably.
