"So what's your name?" Pan asked and I shrugged sinking to the sand and burying my head in my hands.
"It doesn't matter..." I shrugged. I wanted Killian more than anything now. To hold me and tell me everything was going to be alright. But he wasn't here, and he wasn't coming to save me. He didn't even know that I was alive, so why would be come after me.
My life was flashing before my eyes. I could see the day I met Killian. Walking down the street, in one of my mothers stolen dresses, I was trying to be a lady but it wasn't really working. I tripped over the bottom of the skirts and fell head long into a handsome Lieutenant.
I could see the day when we ran away together. My mother had died and my father wanted to marry me off. I didn't want to do that so we ran away together and made our own lives. I don't even know if my father is still alive any more. Killian agreed, actually he had become a pirate when his brother died, he had only come back to land for me and then we set sail.
I could see us lying on the beach on those beloved lazy days. I could see the passionate kisses we shared.
I could see him getting mad at the crew because on of them called him Killian and only I could do that. I was jolted away from my thoughts when a arm wrapped around me. I jumped up and looked down to see Pan looking a little hurt that I had moved away from him.
"Hey, I wasn't going to hurt you" he said and I shook my head wiping the tears that had fallen on my cheeks away.
"No, no your Peter Pan. Your not to be trusted" I said and with that I sprinted into the jungle, even if it meant leaving the beach where I could see the horizon.

"Henry? How will your book help?" Emma asked and I looked up at her and shrugged.
"I know who you are now!" Henry said delightedly as he flicked through the pages.
"Do you know about all this?" Emma asked and I nodded.
"Do you?" I asked back and she sighed sitting down next to Henry.
"She knows, but believing and knowing is different" Henry said without looking up from the book. "Here is is" Henry said and handed me the book open on a page. There was small writing on one side and on the other was a beautiful picture. It was of a handsome looking man dressed from head to toe in black leather, hints of red peeking through here and there. He had a scruffy beard that somehow worked on him. The most noticeable thing about him was that instead of a left hand, he had a sharp silver hook in its place.
"Henry, I'm not sure how Captain Hook is going to help me" I said and he shook his head.
"That's what, or who your waiting for" Henry said and I frowned. Emma sat down next to us and took the book looking at the picture.
"Henry, I think your going to have to explain a little bit more" she said and her eyes darted across the page as she read it.
"Right well. Before Hook was Hook, his name was Killian Jones, his brother was the captain of a ship in a royal navy and he was the Lieutenant" Henry explained and I nodded. "There was a girl the he knew, called Adaline, she was the daughter of a rich lady and lord. They met and fell in love and all that stuff. But when Jones and his brother went to Neverland his brother died and Jones rebelled. He became a pirate and sailed the seas as a free man and Captain of the Jolly Rodger" Henry said.
"What about the girl he loved?" I asked enthralled in the story.
"Oh, he became a pirate but he went to say goodbye to her because he thought she wouldn't like the new him. But when he found her again he discovered that her mother had died leaving her a single ring. Her father was getting poorer and was trying to marry her off to get rich again but she didn't want to. So when Hook turned up he asked if she still loved him, she said yes and they ran away together on the Jolly Rodger" he said.
"I don't see who Anna is though" Emma muttered.
"Shh, this is a good story" I said and she smiled a little to herself as I leaned forwards a little listening to Henry's every word. I was like a child when it came to a good tale. "What happened next?" I asked and Henry grinned loving telling me his story, whether it was real or not.
"Well they lived together for a long time happily, you know on the seas, no rules, deeply in love and everything. They had a song and everything, its even written in the book, apparently Adaline had the most wonderful singing voice, more enchanting than a siren apparently. But then the Dark One, or Rumpelstiltskin boarded the ship when they where in port for a while. He said that he wanted to test something and stabbed the girl. Hook tried to save her but there was nothing he could do. They said goodbye and she died. But when Jones asked Rumpelstiltskin to bring her back, her body disappeared. That was when Jones lost his hand, Rumpelstiltskin cut it off, and got a hook" My eyes went wide.
"Where did her body go?" I asked.
"She went to Neverland where she met Peter Pan. He fell for he and when Hook went to Neverland to find a way of revenge on Rumpelstiltskin, he found Adaline again. But Pan was jealous of her affection for Hook, so he stabbed her again saying that if he couldn't have her neither could. Hook was really mad then"
"How did she survive being stabbed the first time?" I asked but Henry held up his hand for me to wait and Emma chuckled.
"Adaline ended up in Wonderland where she met the Mad Hatter and the two became close friends. Hook meanwhile, realizing that Adaline could survive all the stabbing, searched for her and searched for her. When the curse hit the worlds Adaline was brought here with everyone else and apparently Hook is still looking for her" Henry said.
"So how dose she survive all this?" I asked again.
"Well the book says that legend calls her the Impossible Girl. She can survive being killed as long as her heart remains untouched and she has a true love."
"Captain Hook?" I asked and Henry nodded
"This is all because her mother was cured by magic when she was ill, but pregnant with Adaline"
"It's all very complicated. I'm impressed that you remembered it all" I said sitting up. Henry beamed.
"It one of my favorites" he whispered and I smiled.
"But I still don't see how its related to me" I sighed "Or how its going to fix my problem with the docks" I sighed. Henry looked at me eyebrows raised and a look of disbelief on his face. I looked to Emma for help.
