**this is a canon-compliant fic. Please read entire description and all warnings before continuing. Thank you! Throughout her life, Elyssa has only trusted herself. Her village betrayed her, hunting her like a common animal. However, it only took one twist of fate, one move by Rumplestiltskin to turn her life upside down. Doors were opened as opportunity knocked. All she had to do was step through. "I can take you someplace far better than here," he pulled back, placing a gentle hand on my shoulder... "So what do you say?" "I still don't know your name." Mystery boy's grin was contagious as I felt my own smile growing. "How can I trust you?" He chuckled. "That's an easy fix. I'm Peter Pan." But this man--this "Peter Pan"... could he be trusted? When her little brother is kidnapped, it puts her heart and her relationships to the test. Could Emma and the Charmings rely on her when things go sideways? Could Regina truly trust her not to betray them? Is there hope for her happy ending? ~~~ CONTENT WARNING: Verbal abuse Emotional manipulation Thoughts of worthlessness Negative inner monologue at times Proceed at your own risk.
