66

"Well they got it wrong. Pan is dangerous and not to be trusted" Killian corrected Emma as they walked on ahead of me. "He's the worst thing I've ever faced. Tell me something?"

"What?" Emma asked and they paused, close to each other.

"In these stories... what was I like?" Killian asked. I did know the stories, but I had used the internet to google pictures of Captain Hook and it did make me laugh, they were nothing like Killian. "I mean, other than a villain and handsome" he added and I grinned but kept quiet.

"If waxed mustaches and perms are your thing" Emma laughed and I watched as they looked at each other. Emma was grinning and Killian looked confused but there was defiantly something between them.

"I take it by your tone, perms are bad?" he questioned. Emma just laughed, patted his shoulder and moved on and I walked to Killian's side. "Are perms bad?" he asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, there bad" I said a little glumly.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked and I shook my head forcing a smile.

"Nothing, just thinking" I said and walked on.

There was a single moment of silence before David's voice filtered through to our ears. "Up here!" he yelled and we ran to join him. We were stood on the ridge looking out at all of Neverland. It could be a beautiful place and I had always assumed the before Pan had arrived it had been. But now it was dark and foreboding.

"Pan's lair should be just right..." Killian began but like the rest of us all he could see was jungle.

"Where?" Regina asked sarcastically "All I see is jungle."

"Aye, the dark jungle" Killian said and pulled out his telescope putting it to his eyes to look for any sign of anything. "It's grown somewhat since I last stepped foot in Neverland" he huffed putting the telescope away. I looked at him wide eyed.

"You kidding me?" I asked "Killian, it's grown about four times as much!"

"So this nature hike was for nothing?" Regina grumbled.

"Hook may have lead us astray, but at least we're in a good position to start combing the jungle" David said and both Mary Margaret and I glared at him. Neither of us like his attitude towards Killian and myself.

"Not necessarily" Killian said with a grimace "The dark jungle is the last place you want to step foot. We're going to have to go around it and in order to do that we're going to need our strength. I suggest we make camp" he said and turned to go but Regina spoke up and he froze.

"You want to sleep while my son is out there suffering?" she asked and Killian looked at her with deadly seriousness.

"If you want to live long enough to save the boy. Yes." And with that all swords were put away and we walked back into the jungle to make a camp up.

The camp consisted of a small clearing in the jungle and some hastily crafted tents made from branches and blankets. Mary Margaret and David took one, Regina took another. Killian and I offered to sleep outside as we were used to living it ruff in Neverland and it didn't bother us to much. We had offered to build Emma a tent but she had refused and now slept outside with us. Killian was sound asleep next to me and so were the others. But Emma was tossing and turning in her bed. I wasn't asleep, but I darent move for fear of disturbing Killian.

It wasn't long until I heard Emma pull out her sword and creep off into the trees. I sat up a little but saw that she had disappeared off into the trees. I waited for a moment before she burst back into the clearing calling everyone to wake up. Killian sat up groggily and I stretched with a yawn. "What is it?" David asked jumping to his feet.

"Pan. He gave me this map, said if I accepted who I truly was then it would lead us to Henry" Emma said frantically. I glanced at Killian and we both stood up as did the others to see this map.

Ten minuets later Emma was sat next to a rock, the blank bit of parchment that apparently contained this map in front of her. Regina paced the clearing, Mary Margaret and David had gone off to look for Pan while Killian and I stood watching Emma. "He so likes his games" Killian sighed as Emma continued to stare at the map.

"What games?" Regina asked "There is nothing there."

"If Pan say's there's a map on this parchment then there is. He's toying with you and don't I know it" I mumbled.

"Great" Emma said sarcastically "if I just stop denying who I really am, whatever that means. Then we'll be able to read this thing."

"How do we know that Pan won't use to lead us strait into a trap?" Regina asked as she paced some more. It was beginning to get on my nerves.

"Because he doesn't need to. This whole island is his bloody trap" Killian snapped at her.

"There's no sign of him any where" David said as he and Mary Margaret rejoined us.

"Any luck with the map?" she asked and Regina rolled her eyes.

"Don't hold your breath" she warned.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Emma questioned not taking her eyes of the parchment.

"Don't you see what he's doing?" Regina asked as if we where all dumb "Every second we spend talking about this is another second we're not looking for my son."

"You've got a better idea?" Emma asked.

"Magic" Regina replied as if it was easy as that. I knew that Pan relied on magic and was connected to the island in ways none of us could understand. But it meant magic was out of the question, his game, his rules. "If there's a lock on that I'll fine a way around it" Regina mumbled and made for the parchment but Emma smacked her hand down on it before Regina could even touch it.

"Pan said it had to be me" she said with out looking at Regina.

"I'd listen to Emma" Killian said.

"This is Peter's game, there is no other way of doing this" I interjected. Everyone looked at me, even Emma, with wide eyes. "What?" I asked.

"Peter?" Regina questioned and I shrugged.

"I spent time here" I said and Emma shook her head.

"No, there's more to it" she said and I grimaced. I sighed and sat down on a rock.

"Killian knows this" I said with glance up at him "But when Gold 'killed' me" I used my fingers to make quotation marks around the word killed. "I ended up here. I didn't know where I was, why I was alive and all that stuff. Pan found me and I stayed with him in the camp, even if I hated every single second of it. I didn't know what else to do. When Killian found me, Pan got jealous and killed me again I ended up in Wonderland with Jefferson" I explained.

"Pan got jealous? What of?" Mary Margaret asked and I looked again to Killian.

"Hook? Why would Pan be jealous of Hook?" David asked and I smiled sadly.

"Because I love him" I said and that was all the explanation that they needed.

"So Pan hate's Hook because you love him, not Pan" Emma said and I nodded "So why did he 'kill' you, I mean if he loves you then why 'kill' you?" she asked.

"He 'killed' her because if he couldn't have her no one could. His plan didn't work quite how he wanted it to" Killian said and sat down next to me and wrapped a protective arm around my shaking shoulders.

"So that's why you've been freaking out about being here" Mary Margaret muttered and we all looked up at her. "Well, you've been unusually quiet and Hook's being more protective. Your afraid of Pan" she said and I shook my head.

"No, it's not Pan I'm afraid of. It's not my safety that I'm worried about. Like Regina said when we landed here. Pan won't touch me, not again, he would risk losing it all again. No, I'm afraid of what he'll do to the people I care about to get to me."
