"Henry thinks that you are Adaline" she explained and my mouth formed into a small 'o'.
"You think I'm in love with Captain Hook?" I asked and Henry nodded.
"Yes, and that's why you go to the docks, your waiting for him to find you" he said a wide grin stretching across his face now.
"And how did you come to that conclusion?" I asked.
"Well you said you spend all the time staring at the horizon yes?" I nodded. Henry took the book from Emma and brought it round so that we could both read it. "Here" he said and pointed to a line. "Hook says that if they ever get separated, they should look to the horizon and they will know where each other is" he said.
I read the paragraph and it did indeed say that. But one line caught my eye. 'If you look at the horizon, I will always know where you are, and I will always find you' it said. I read it over and over, my finger running over the words. I could feel Henry watching me eagerly as I did so. But I shook my head and shut the book.
"Sorry Henry. But I'm not Captain Hooks true love. I'm not an Impossible Girl" I said and the grin on his face fell. I shook my head sadly "Henry I'm sorry, but I'm just me" I said and he nodded.
"I understand" he said and I furrowed.
"You do?" both Emma and I asked at the same time.
"Yeah, when Emma breaks the curse you'll remember" he said.
I watched as he shoved the book back in his bag and ran off to play. "Your boy's got a wonderful imagination" I said and Emma nodded.
"I know, but he keeps going on about curses, and story book characters. It's beginning to worry me" she sighed. I smiled and patted her arm
"It's fine, personally I think a child with an imagination that strong will do amazing things" I said before standing up and walking off.
"Hey Anna!" Emma called after me and I turned to look at her "Don't get too bogged down in what he said, their just fairy tales" she said and I nodded.
"I know" I smiled.

"Will you stop running away, I only want to help you!" Pan called after me as I ran and he followed. I ignored his calls and continued to run. Suddenly Pan was in front of me and I knew that was it. He knew every inch of the island like the back of his own hand, it would be pointless trying to run any more. "Finally" he sighed and walked over to me.
"What do you want with me?" I asked.
"Just a name" he said and I sighed, what harm could it do.
"I'm Adaline" I said and his eyes widened.
"Sorry?"
"Adaline" I said "Why?" I asked and he shook his head.
"Nothing, just a long time ago, two men came to Neverland, one kept talking about getting back to Adaline" he shrugged. I knew it was Killian but I didn't say anything. "Look, I don't want to hurt you. I only want you to be happy here. Will you eat with us tonight?" he asked and I nodded.
"As long as you don't try and poison me with Dreamshade" I said.
"You know of it?" he asked and I nodded.
"More stories" I said. Killian had told me that was what had killed Liam, his older bother.
"I wouldn't dream of hurting you" Pan said and I nodded walking with him.
True to his word, Pan didn't hurt me as we ate, and offered me a place to stay the night. I accepted, where else was there to go and I was stuck here now so I might as well make some friends. I curled up in the small tent that Pan had given me and dreamed of Killian and home.
