↬Chapter Forty Seven-Lost Girl↬

↬↬↬

I only own Jade/Camilla and my ideas.

David was walking in front, cutting down anything and everything of which was in their path. Camilla was walking behind David, then Hook, then Regina, then Emma, then Mary Margaret trailing behind.

It was then that Hook informed, "The ridge is just a few hundred paces up ahead."

"You really think we're gonna be able to see Pan's hideout?" Emma questioned.

Before Hook even had the chance to respond, Camilla spoke, "He wouldn't keep it in the open."

"Jade's right. We should be able to see some sort of glimpse or light as to where Pan's keeping your son." Hook said.

Regina had sighed slightly as she rose her hands, "You know, I could have just poofed us up here in an instant."

"Where? Have you any idea what's up here or anywhere?" Camilla seemed to snap.

Hook agreed as he added, "There are dangers all about. Only Jade and I can guide us past them."

"He's right. Hook's lived here before. And Jade's the 'Queen' here. If they say hiking up is the best way, then we listen." Emma spoke.

After a few moments with David in front cutting down whatever was in their paths, both Camilla and Hook seemed to notice how David was about to cut down a patch of thorns. It was these patch of thorns which had quickly made Hook and Camilla notice and jump into action.

"No!" Both Hook and Camilla yell as they grab hold of David's arm.

David had given them a slightly confused look. "I can handle a couple of thorns."

"That's Dreamshade. It's not the thorns you have to worry about. It's the poison they inject you with." Camilla explained towards the man.

Hook nodded in agreement. "This plant is the source of the toxins I used on the Dark One."

Emma had given him a look, "The poison that almost killed Gold?"

"Indeed. I used a concentrated dose," Hook spoke, Camilla could see a small hint of pain in his eyes.

Camilla had let out a small sigh, "In its natural form, death would be much slower and far more painful."

Hook seemed to nod at her, giving her a small smile. He then pointed to his right. "I suggest we go this way."

David had then looked in the opposite direction from which Hook pointed to. "We'll go this way."

The male had then walked off into the direction of which he suggested with Regina, Camilla, and Mary Margaret behind him.

"Your father's a distrustful fellow." Hook spoke towards Emma before she went to follow behind them.

"He's just not used to working with the bad guys," Emma responded.

"I can assure you, on this island, I am not the bad guy." Hook seemed to somewhat correct.

Emma had then given him a small look. "Yeah, well, Pan's not supposed to be one either."

"What possibly gave you that idea?" Hook questioned as he followed Emma past the Dreamshade.

"Every story I ever heard as a child," Emma responded.

"Well, they got it all wrong. Pan is the most treacherous villain I've ever faced-" Hook began.

Emma had cut him off, "-Then why is he such an angle in Jade's eyes? If he's meant to be the worst villain who you faced, then why does Jade see him the way if which she does?"

Hook had given her a look. "Because, Pan is different around Jade - or should I say, was different. When Jade got ripped away from the island, it had changed him, and her, they both became the way that they were because of what her father and Regina had done."

Emma seemed to sigh a little before Hook stopped them and asked, "Tell me something, luv. In these stories...what was I like? Other than a villain. Handsome, I gather."

"If waxed moustaches and perms are your thing," Emma responded, not even looking at him before walking off again.

Hook seemed to watch Emma as she walked off, "I take it by your tone, perms are bad?"

It was then that the one-handed pirate heard David call out, "Up here! We made it."

Hook had then walked towards the group and stood beside Camilla saying, "Pan's lair should be just...right..."

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

"Aye. The Dark Jungle." Hook stated as he then took out his telescope and searched around the jungle below.

He then pulled the telescope away from his eye as he spoke, "It's, uh, grown so much since I last stepped foot in Neverland. Jay, any ideas?"

Camilla had just given him a small look as she then shrugged, "Your guess is as good as mine. I have no idea on anything, as you said it's grown even after being away for forty years."

Regina had let out a small sigh, "So this nature hike was for nothing."

"Hook may have led us astray, but at least we're in a good position to start combing the jungle," David spoke.

Both Hook and Camilla shared a small look with each other as Hook then spoke, "Not exactly. The Dark Jungle's the last place you wanna set foot. We'll have to go around it. In order to do that, we're gonna need our strength. Considering Jade's condition, which some of you seem to forget, I suggest we make camp."

It was then that Regina snapped, "You wanna sleep while my son is out there suffering?"

"Henry is much more than just your son, Regina, he means something to all of us, whether you like to admit it or not. As much as I want to continue looking, I literally can't, I know that I'm just speaking for myself, but we've been hiking for a while, we all need our strength." Camilla argued as she simply gave Regina a look, one of which sent a shiver down one's spine.

Camilla had then turned and walked off, back down the path of which they came from. There seemed to be a sharp pain which went through her entire body, which in a way didn't make sense, she thought that as soon as she got onto this island that the curse would stop. However, it seemed as if it chose to ignore the fact that time stood still as the curse chose to still slowly kill her. Camilla's head then snapped towards the direction of which she heard the sound of a twig snapping, her eyebrows seemed to knit together as she then got out one of her daggers.

What Camilla didn't expect was an arm to wrap around her waist and drag her behind a bush, a hand had made it around her mouth. At an instant Camilla threw her elbows back, hitting whoever had grabbed her. Camilla quickly whipped around once she was free and had held her dagger towards the person's neck. Her eyes then seemed to widen as she recognised the boy in front of her.

"Peter?" Camilla asked as she dropped her arm. The boy in front of her had his hand on his side as a hint of pain was written on his face. A smile formed on her face as she instantly then hugged him.

"I've missed you," Peter spoke as he wrapped his arms around Camilla and placed his head on her shoulder.

"I've missed you too," Camilla said in an almost hushed tone as the pair then broke away from the hug.

Peter had then gone to kiss her before she then turned her head away. As much as she wanted to kiss him, she knew that she couldn't as if the others noticed how healthy she looked, they'd think that Camilla planned all of this - they would all consider her a traitor again, even after she's shown them how she's changed for them. She wanted to kiss him so badly, but she didn't want the people she cared about to think that she's betraying them.

Peter seemed to somewhat frown at her as he seemed to give her some sort of look. Normally - before she got taken away - she would happily kiss him, but now that she refused, he was slightly confused.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let the people of which I came here with know that I've seen you. I don't want them to think of me as a traitor again," Camilla spoke as she then met his gaze.

He didn't seem to say anything, all of which he did was nod. There was a part of him which was confused by what she meant by the word 'again', but he didn't want to question it. He wanted to take her back to the camp so that she was safe and was in a place where he could see her. It had pained him knowing that she was in this amount of pain with this curse and he couldn't even stop it.

"I'll plan to take you from them," Peter informed. "I'll think of a way to get you back to our camp, the boys miss their mother."

Camilla seemed to pull her lips into a smile, "I miss my boys too."

There was something of which Peter could see that Camilla was hiding as if there was something of which bothered her. He gave her a small look, one of which he hoped to get an answer out of, without asking anything.

However, Camilla didn't seem to stare at him. Letting out a small sigh, Peter asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why did you get people to take him?" Camilla asked.

Peter gave her a confused look, "Who?"

"Don't play dumb, Peter," Camilla snapped as she stared at him. "Why did you take Henry?"

Peter seemed to somewhat tense up, though he then spoke, "I knew you were close with Henry, so I thought it was the only way to get you here. Take Henry and you'll follow after him to take him back to that town."

Camilla had given him a look, one of which Peter unintentionally flinched at - it was one of those looks of which a parent would give their child if they did something wrong, but with that look being on Camilla it seemed as if she wouldn't hesitate to slap you because of the shitty idea - or potentially murder you on sight.

"You decided it would be a good idea to have two people take Henry from Storybrooke and bring him here, barely in mind that he has two moms who wouldn't hesitate to slap a bitch for saying something dumb, a former bandit princess who was trained by me, a Shepard prince who seems to be annoyed by my existence, and a one-handed pirate who killed Rufio, along with me - a person who a lot of people are afraid of?" Camilla seemed to question as she gave him a look. "Yeah, that sounds like a great plan."

"I didn't say it was good," Peter told. He knew that he was lying, but he didn't want to exactly tell her the truth about the plan - well despite the fact that she was aware that Neverland's power was weak.

Before Camilla could even comment on what Peter had even said, she heard Regina call out, "Camilla!"

Said woman had turned her head slightly as she released a small sigh. "Coming! Give me a moment, busy dying here!"

Camilla had then turned back towards Peter saying, "I guess I'll potentially see you later on."

Peter had pulled his small frown into a weak smile, "I'll devise a plan to get you away from them."

Camilla didn't say anything, all of which she did was giving him a small look. She had then walked away from him, joining Regina who seemed to give her a concerned look.

Neverland was a place of wonders for some children who came to the island to get away from their problems, for some it was a home for children who weren't loved by their family. For Jade, it was a home and had been for around four maybe five years, she had been forced through a portal which ended with Jade arriving in Neverland. Upon arrival and a few months afterwards, it wasn't exactly the best experience as some might wonder, there were moments where Jade felt unhappy and more alone than anything else.

She was alone and had barely anyone to speak to apart from a boy who was nice to her, this boy ended up being her best friend. Devin was the first boy who wasn't mean to her, and it felt nice to have someone on this island who was finally decent to her. Devin was the only boy on the island who was willing to help train her with a bow and arrow, and Jade had been the one to train him using a sword.

However, as the months went on after Jade's arrival, it was then that Peter realised how broken Jade Jessie Stiltskin really was. He had caught her having some sort of attack, yet he wasn't sure what had caused it. He tried to aid with calming her down the best of which he could, trying to remind her that she was safe, that whatever caused this attack cannot hurt her. Peter had stayed by her side throughout the attack, reminding her that everything was okay, and was trying to help her with her breathing.

It had taken a while for the attack to go, but even still Peter refused to leave her side. Peter had informed her that when she was ready, she could tell him what had caused this attack - of course, if she was comfortable with telling him. At first, she didn't want to tell him what had happened to her before she came here, but at the same time, she knew that she had to tell someone about it eventually otherwise she'd keep getting worse without a way to feel somewhat better.

It took Jade a few days to think of how exactly she would tell Peter about her father and the abuse she had gotten from him, but as soon as she started to inform Pan of what happened tears had fallen from her eyes as she ranted on how much she wouldn't mind killing her own father for what he had done to her. Peter seemed to somewhat understand Jade's pain and experience, which is why he tried his best to support her no matter what.

After hearing what kind of abuse Jade had been through, he had backed off with the way of which he used to treat her and started to treat her with the respect of which she deserved.

Four and a bit years had passed and Jade was still trying to work with the attacks of which she sometimes got along with building a healthy relationship with a lot of the Lost Boys, however, over the course of the four and a bit years, there was an uncertain feeling of which Jade was unsure on. It was a feeling of which she never experienced beforehand and felt really odd.

Jade had tried to shake the feeling of which she grew to have on Peter, even attempted to distance herself from him - however, no matter how much she tried to distance herself and try and think about her feelings, but no matter how much she tried to distance herself, Peter had always made a way to make it difficult.

For a few weeks, Peter had unintentionally found himself with his arm around Jade, though it wasn't until one of the Lost Boys pointed it out, causing the pair of them to move away from each other while their cheeks turned scarlet. It became a continued thing where the Lost Boys would attempt to annoy both Peter and Jade with how close the two had gotten and how the pair should get together. But alas, they never took the hint that they liked each other, no matter how obvious it might have been to the boys on the island. And oh how it annoyed everyone.

Tiredness seemed to somewhat take over the group as they had all made camp in a somewhat open area, however as they all slept, the sound of crying children had seemed to wake Emma from her sleep.

Emma had gotten up from where she slept as she called to both Mary Margaret and David. "Guys, wake up!"

The pair seemed to not flinch in any way at the sound of her voice as tiredness consumed them. Emma had then turned her attention towards Camilla in some hopes that she could wake her up. However, just by looking at how Camilla slept with Hook beside her against a tree made Emma realise that it might be best to just leave the Hopper child where she was.

Emma took it upon herself to then make her way through the jungle in hopes to find the location of where the crying was coming from.

The blonde had then turned around when she heard a voice ask, "You hear that, too?"

Emma had held out a sword towards a boy who wore all green, his hair was somewhere between either brown or dark blond, she couldn't tell. He seemed young but in his eyes, he seemed old.

"You're Emma, right?" Peter asked. "I wonder why they can't hear the crying."

"Who are you?" Emma asked, still somewhat unsure about who this boy was.

Peter had then put on a somewhat innocent look as he then said, "Oh, did I forget to introduce myself? I'm Peter. Peter Pan."

At the sound of the familiar name, Emma had then pined Pan against a tree, holding her sword at his throat.

Peter seemed to smirk as Emma asked, "Where's Henry?"

"You've got fire. I like fire," Peter stated, "but not on you."

"You like it on Jade," Emma said as she seemed to give him a glare. "Where's my son?"

"Henry's still alive if that's what you're worried about," Peter responded.

"Why the hell did you take him?" Emma questioned.

"He's a very special boy, Emma," Peter responded as if that answered all of the questions Emma had.

"I know," Emma stated. "That doesn't answer my question. What do you want with him?"

"I came here to see who I was up against," Peter explained. He then somewhat mimicked, "The 'Savior'." Pan then let out a small sigh, "Gotta say, I'm not disappointed."

"What do you say now? You're gonna tell me how I'm never gonna see Henry again?" Emma asked, she did want to mention how he'd be up against Camilla, but her top priority was trying to find where Henry was.

Pan seemed to give Emma a small look, "No. I'm going to help you find him. I'll give you a map." Emma had then drawn the sword away from Peter's neck, allowing him to then remove a parchment of paper from his shirt, "A map that will lead you straight to your son."

"If this is some kind of trap-" Emma began.

Peter seemed to cut her off with a small chuckle, "I may not be the most well-behaved boy on the island, but I always keep my promises. The path to finding Henry is on this parchment."

Emma dropped her sword to her side as she asked, "Why are you giving it to me?"

"See, it's not about finding Henry. It's about how you find him. And, Emma you are the only one who can." Peter explained.

Emma took the parchment of paper from Peter's hand to then open. "It's blank."

"You'll only be able to read that map when you stop denying who you really are," Peter explained.

Emma had then looked down towards the blank map for a moment, though as she looked back up to the direction of which Pan stood, he was gone.

It didn't take the blonde long to get back to the camp which they all set up, nor did it take the blonde long to wake everyone up saying that she found a way to find Henry. When everyone woke up from their slumber, Emma had then explained her meeting with Pan and what he had said about the map.

Mary Margaret and David had suggested that they scower across the area to see if they could find Pan anywhere while Camilla, Regina, and Hook stayed with Emma and the blank map.

"He so likes his games." Hook stated as he seemed to stare in front.

"What game?" Regina asked. "There's nothing there."

Camilla had let out a small sigh as her head rested against a tree, "If he said there's a map on this parchment, then there is."

"Great. So if I just stop denying who I really am, whatever that means, then we'll be able to read this thing." Emma spoke. She had her hands rested on her face as she seemed to stare at the parchment which laid on a rock.

"But how do we know Pan won't use it to lead us straight into a trap?" Regina asked.

"Because he doesn't need to," Camilla said as she rose her head to stare at the people with her.

"Jay's right. This whole island's his bloody trap." Hook stated as he stood up.

It was then that both David and Mary Margaret came back from searching the jungle.

"There's no sign of him anywhere," David announced to them.

Camilla seemed to roll her eyes, "I wonder who said that before you wasted your time to then come back and say the exact thing?"

David seemed to give her a look while Mary Margaret asked, "Any luck with the map?"

"Don't hold your breath," Regina commented.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Emma shot back.

"Don't you see what he's doing?" Regina asked which had caused Camilla to give her a look. "Every second we spend talking about this is another second we're not looking for my son."

"You got a better idea?" Emma snapped, not even looking up from the map.

"Magic," Regina stated. This had caused Camilla to look at Regina with a risen brow. "If there's a lock on there, I'll find a way around it."

Regina had then gone to take the parchment from Emma, but before the former queen could, Emma had slapped her hand down onto the parchment, preventing Regina from getting it.

"Pan said it had to be me," Emma spoke.

"I'd listen to Emma, love." Hook said. "Breaking Pan's rules would be unwise."

To Camilla's surprise, it had somewhat shocked Camilla when David spoke, "Sadly, I agree with the pirate."

Hook gave David a small smirk, "I'm winning you over. I can feel it."

"And your magic doesn't exactly have a gentle touch, Regina." Mary Margaret spoke as Camilla had then stood up and went to stand beside Hook.

David then gestured towards the parchment, "Use it on the map, it might blow up in all our faces."

"Well, that's a risk I'm willing to take." Regina snapped.

Camilla rolled her eyes, this entire thing was ridicules - if Pan had said that only Emma can get the map to show itself, then they should listen to his wishes. But no, they all won't listen, like bloody always.

She had gone to take a step forward but was somewhat stopped by Hook who seemed to know that she was about to snap. Hook had given her a look which had caused her to roll her eyes and take a step back.

"Well, I'm not. If I'm the one who's supposed to figure out this thing, I need to do what Pan said." Emma said.

"Great," Regina muttered as she then walked away.

"She'll get there." Mary Margaret said. She then turned to Emma saying, "Hey. Don't give up. He's playing a game. You can win."

It had been four years since she arrived on Neverland, but it only took her two months to know that she had a growing crush on the immortal boy. Well, two months to discover her growing feelings as soon as the fourth year of her on the island came around. To her, it felt strange to even feel like this, like she shouldn't even consider the idea of liking someone to the point where her heartbeat grew faster anytime she saw him.

Jade had tried her best to shake off these feelings by trying to distance herself from Peter as much as she could. She wasn't good with how she felt, so she thought that by distancing herself from the person who she caught feelings for might help her in away. However, no matter how much distance she tried to create between both her and Peter, it seemed not to work in any way, any time Jade pulled away from Peter, he'd always seem to come back seemingly not taking the hint that she wanted to be away from him; but alas she never had the heart to tell him to go away.

It was the middle of the day when Jade had managed to find her way into the camp, she had decided that she wanted to go for a walk, one of which she hoped would clear her mind. She needed a break from seeing Peter and for her to have some form of odd feeling filling her whenever she saw Peter. Devin and Felix had offered to come with her but she declined their offer, wanting to be left alone with her thoughts.

Jade had managed to find herself halfway through the jungle until she heard the sound of a twig snapping on her left. Her eyes snapped in that direction, in hopes to find the source of the noise, her eyebrows seemed to somewhat knit together as she stared. Her head seemed to tilt to the side when she saw how a familiar blonde-haired female came walking towards her.

"Tink?" Jade called out as the former fairy stood opposite her.

"Hi, Jade," Tink spoke with a small smile.

A small chuckle seemed to come out from Jade's mouth as she then seemed to pull the fairy into a hug. The last time Jade had seen the fairy was around the period of which she arrived on the island since then she hasn't seen Tinker Bell since then.

"Come with me, I want to speak to you." Tinker Bell said as they pulled out of the hug. Jade didn't respond as she just nodded.

Both former fairy and mother of the island had then walked towards where the former fairy called home. Well, more than home than the island to say the least. Jade liked Tinker Bell, she found that the former fairy was nice to her - to say the least - there was a small part of Jade which thought that Tinker Bell wouldn't like her much considering the group of people Jade hangs around with.

The two had walked in silence towards where Tinker Bell stayed. Jade didn't mind walking in silence considering that it had left her with her thoughts and her feelings. Her eyes seemed to scan the area - it wasn't like she wasn't aware of the area, it's just helped when it came to her being lost within her mind.

What had brought Jade out of her thoughts was Tinker Bell saying, "Jade, is everything okay?"

Said female had then looked towards the blonde fairy and it was then that Jade noticed how they were already at Tink's treehouse. Jade had then nodded, responding with, "Yeah, I'm okay."

Tinker Bell seemed to narrow her eyes towards the young female, feeling as if there was something hidden within Jade that she refused to tell.

Jade seemed to give her a small look, "What? What's that look for?"

"You like him, don't you?" Tinker Bell asked. "You like Pan."

Camilla was laying on the floor, looking up towards the sky while Emma was still trying to get the map to work. Camilla was really bored to the point where she was really close to just calling for Pan to take her to the camp, but she chose against it. Though there was another idea of which she had to which would entertain her, which would have been to annoy the fuck out of everyone, but as soon as Camilla went to speak she got death glares from all of them, so it left Camilla laying on the floor counting the stars.

"My name is Emma Swan," Emma said, running out of ideas.

"And I'm bored as fuck," Camilla commented. Three hundred and ninety-one.

Hook seemed to give Camilla a look before he then turned back to Emma saying, "I'd wager the solution to Pan's riddle is a bit more complicated than that."

"Don't hold anything back." Mary Margaret said. Both she and David were sat on a rock facing their daughter, waiting to see what exactly was meant by 'stop denying who you really are'.

Emma - who was sat cross-legged on a rock which the parchment in her hands - looked towards her parents before back down to the map, "I'm Henry's mother. I used to live in Boston, and I was a bail-bonds person. I'm now the sheriff of Storybrooke."

Three hundred and ninety-two.

"That election was a sham." Regina snapped.

"But no one has rallied against Emma, so she's still the fall back for the position," Camilla stated as she rose her hand. Three hundred and ninety-three.

Regina seemed to roll her eyes at the comment, "Are we really doing this?"

Ignoring what Regina had asked, Mary Margaret said, "Don't you think maybe... you're leaving some things out?"

Emma had then cleared her throat slightly, "I'm the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, which apparently makes me the product of true love. I was born in the Enchanted Forest and I was sent through a portal in a tree so that I could break a curse."

"And you were able to break the curse because you're the..." David trailed off, waiting for Emma to finish the sentence.

"Come on. You don't need to be embarrassed to say it." Mary Margaret spoke as she then stood up and stood beside her already standing husband.

Hook seemed somewhat confused, "Say what?"

"The 's' word," Regina responded.

Camilla then shot up, pointing towards Regina, "Shithead!" The group seemed to give her a look, "Oh, you mean Saviour. Still, shithead describes Emma for me. Sorry." Camilla then rolled back onto her back, "Fuck, I forgot what number I was on."

Emma then shook her head slightly, she looked down towards the paper before she then spoke, "I'm the saviour." The parchment was still blank. "I don't get it. I said I'm the saviour. There's nothing I've denied more than that."

"Pan already knows that you're the saviour if he gave you that paper then he would have made it a lot more personal than being some cheap loophole in a curse. And by personal, I mean something of which you already know you are but refuse to admit it to the point where you've forgotten about it." Camilla stated, she then let out a small laugh, "Which honestly makes this a lot harder than - well, than what it already is."

Mary Margaret looked between the woman laying on the floor and the woman sat on the rock, before saying towards her daughter, "We'll figure it out."

"No, you won't," Regina stated as she then moved towards Emma before then snatching the parchment out of Emma's grasp.

It was by the sound of movement which made Camilla stand up, brushing the dirt off of her clothing before joining the rest of the group.

"Regina!" Emma yelled just as Camilla stood beside Mary Margaret.

"But I can," Regina said as the parchment rustled within her hands, Emma had instantly moved to her feet. "I'm beginning to think there isn't a map on here. That doesn't mean it can't lead us to Henry."

David had pointed towards Regina - who placed a hand over it - as he hen spoke, "I thought we decided that using magic was a bad idea."

"For once I agree with the prince." Hook said, copying what David had said earlier. David had then given Hook a look as Hook said innocently, "Well, I told you we're getting along."

Regina had then used her magic on the map as the parchment glowed a soft orange.

"What the hell are you doing?" Emma demanded.

"The locator spell. This parchment belonged to Pan. It'll lead us to him." Regina explained shortly as the map then hovered up.

Camilla remembered back when she used to work for the former queen, the number of times Regina would have given her a locator spell in order to track someone from which stole from her, and instead of Regina wasting her apparent 'royal time,' it was her job to track what was stolen. Camilla had then shivered slightly at the memory as she then noticed how the parchment was heading towards the jungle.

"Oh yay, it appears we'll have to venture into the Dark Jungle after all," Camilla spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

"You mean the place you told us never to set foot?" Emma questioned.

Hook and Camilla shared a look like the one-handed pirate nodded, "That's the one."

Regina had came to stand beside Emma saying, "Well, Emma, you said you wanted to be the leader. Lead."

The group had followed the floating map for a while, Emma, David, Hook, Camilla, Mary Margaret and Regina had all walked through the Dark Jungle in hopes that Regina's magic hadn't failed them in showing as to where Henry might be.

"Ready to thank me?" Regina asked the blonde beside her.

To Camilla's surprise Emma said, "Actually, yeah."

"If you'd let me do it sooner, maybe we'd have found him by now." Regina stated.

It was then that the group stopped as they all noticed how the floating parchment of paper seemed to somewhat stop in its tracks where an opening waited ahead.

Regina had rose her hand, "Wait. He's there. Pan. I can feel his smugness."

As David walked ahead and pulled out his sword, Camilla had then let out a small laugh, "That is fucking hilarious."

"Shall we?" David asked as he flipped his sword. "While we still have the element of surprise on our side?"

David had then walked towards the ditch which laid ahead as the rest of the group followed.

"Careful. He may look like a boy, but he's a bloody demon." Hook warned.

"Didn't you say that about me once?" Camilla asked as she didn't bother getting her weapons out, like David did.

"Yeah, I did, that is until I noticed your soft side." Hook responded, Camilla had given him a strange look to which he added, "the way of which you acted around your brother being on my ship and how you acted around the Lost Boys."

Camilla simply shrugged at the thought.

"What?" Jade asked, "No, no I don't."

Tinker Bell had given Jade a look, one of which seemed to mock Jade in what she had just said. Jade seemed to try and avoid the former fairy's glare, feeling as if a lot of pressure suddenly was pressed onto her shoulders.

"Yes, you do." Tink insisted. "Look, you might not believe me, but he feels the same as you do. I've heard conversations between various Lost Boys and I might have listened into a conversation between Pan and Felix, but he really does like you."

Jade was still unsure as to if what Tink was saying was true, though the former fairy seemed to somewhat know what was going through the Stiltskin child's head as she seemed to let out an annoying sigh and seemed to rub her eyes.

"Jade, Peter likes you - like a lot likes you. I heard Pan admit to Felix about the way of which he feels, about how he's feeling a bit down with how you seem to ignore him, about how oddly jealous he gets when you're not with him. I could go on for a good five minutes on what I've heard him say about you." Tinker Bell spoke.

She didn't seem to say anything, she couldn't bring herself to say anything. No matter how many words she knew, not one of them seemed to form a semi-decent sentence in her head to even speak. What was she even meant to say to that? "Oh great the dude who seems like a dick to a lot of people likes me, well let me hang my socks cause fuck it"?

"I don't know." Jade said with a shrug, she wasn't sure as to why she said that, but for some reason it felt like the most suitable thing to say in a situation like this. She wasn't used to having these kind of feelings, so she never really knew how to approach these kind of situations.

"Jade, all I'm going to say is admit what is in here," Tink had then gestured to her heart, "rather than overusing this." She had motioned towards her head.

Jade seemed to give Tink a small look before nodding as if she agreed with what she said. If Jade had to be honest, she had no idea what Tink meant but she had a feeling that she somewhat understood what the former fairy had said.

The group had made their way down towards the camp with David in front. A seemingly cold shiver seemed to run down Camilla's spine, there was just a small part of her which recognised the area. However, a sharp and very much painful throb shot through her entire body as if the curse was about to take her life. She shook her head slightly, trying to shake the feeling off.

What brought Camilla out of her thoughts was Mary Margaret saying, "No one's here. Maybe your spell was wrong, Regina."

"Ah, yes, blame the person who done something while the one who is complaining sat there staring at Emma, hoping that she knew how to unlock the map." Camilla commented. "Now, why are you the one complaining when the one with magic done something to finally help."

"Wow, thank you so much Camilla for the comment I didn't need." Mary Margaret stated.

Camilla stuck her tongue out at the former princess. They had managed to officially get to the clearing of the camp to where Camilla saw someone familiar. At first Camilla had thought it to be the boy of which they all came here for, but as they got closer, Camilla realised that Henry was shorter and his hair was brown.

"Guys...Hold on." Emma spoke, noticing the same figure of which Camilla saw. "Is that...Henry!"

And of course, Camilla was correct. As the boy turned around, it was revealed that it wasn't Henry but was in fact Peter who seemed to be dressed in Henry's clothes.

"Hi, Emma." Peter spoke with a slight smirk as if he planned this.

It wouldn't surprise Camilla if Peter did somewhat plan for this all to happen, like he guessed that they would end up using magic to find the camp and to find Henry. Though Camilla would have to admit, Pan sure as hell is smart to plan so much ahead.

"Where the hell is Henry?" Emma demanded.

"You broke the rules. That's not fair. Bad form." Peter spoke as he walked around the hill which seemed to cave over the camp - protecting it, he then seemed to look towards Hook, "I expect more from you, Captain."

"Aye, and you'll get it." Hook stated

"Give Henry to me." Emma demanded.

Camilla seemed to scoff slightly towards Emma as she then rolled her eyes, why should Pan ever listen to an adult? They were just as irrelevant as all problems once you step foot on this island.

"Sorry. Can't." Peter bluntly said. "Don't you know? Cheaters never win."

It was then that the Lost Boys come from behind Peter Pan shooting and whooping. They had all seemed to surround the group armed with bow and arrows as Peter Pan looked on. Some of the boys seemed to somewhat stare at Camilla, feeling a sense of familiarity, but they didn't drop their guard.

David had swung his sword around while Mary Margaret armed her bow. Regina seemed to look forward as she stretched her fingers, preparing to use her magic to her advantage.

"Watch out for their arrows. They're laced with dreamshade." Hook warned.

Camilla's eyes widened as she stared at the Lost Boys which now surrounded them, she had then noticed how everyone around her were preparing for a fight. Her heart seemed to somewhat drop to the floor, she couldn't allow this to happen, at all. Even if this was the first time she saw the Lost Boys for over thirty years, she didn't want them to get hurt and she didn't want to see the people who welcomed her with another family to get hurt.

It was then that Camilla had rushed in front of the group till she was somewhere in the middle of both Peter and the Lost Boys, and Hook and the others. Regina had attempted to hold her back, but unfortunately, it failed. It was then that Regina seemed to notice the worried look which filled Camilla's face as she looked towards the Lost Boys and them.

"I swear to fucking god if any of you hurt one another, I'm going to be pissed!" Camilla yelled. She noticed how a few of her boys lowered their bows and arrows while Mary Margaret seemed to do the same.

Camilla had noticed how a few of the Lost Boys wanted to go to her, but instead stayed where they stood. They hadn't seen her in years and all they wanted to do was hug her so hard so that they knew that she was real. However, they all knew that if they broke position, Pan wouldn't be pleased at all.

"Cam, they have Henry. Pan has Henry. Fighting them might mean that we get Henry back." Emma informed as if she didn't know that.

Camilla opened her mouth to speak but nothing seemed to come out. Well, something did, but it was something that none of them expected to hear. A yell - well a scream. One of which made all of them jump. She felt a sudden rush of pain coursing through her entire body, it felt as if her entire body had went numb and stiff. She couldn't move, her legs seemed to stay stiff, not allowing any form of movement to happen.

Panic was flooding her, it was happening. She was finally turning to stone, and it hurt like a bitch. She was confused - however - considering that time stood still on this island, it didn't make sense that the curse would still be powering through with killing her. Her clothes had started to turn to stone as did the rest of her face and skin that the curse hadn't reached yet.

There seemed to be an unspoken look which circled around Mary Margaret, Emma, David, Hook, and Regina as they then moved so they were in a circle around Camilla as if they were protecting her form the Lost Boys.

It was then that the Lost Boys had attacked the group of adults. The one thought on their mind was getting them away from Camilla, or get Camilla away from them, either way they wanted the person of which they cared about away from the adults.

However, it was then that Camilla felt and saw that she was no longer in the centre of the circle. Instead, she was beside Peter who seemed to grit his teeth as if he was holding back pain. Pan had given Felix a look then a nod as if to say to continue the fight till he got back.

Pan then flicked his wrist as smoke covered both Camilla and his body, taking them back to the camp. More specifically, the tree house of which they shared. Camilla couldn't even look around at the place of which seemed so familiar, her neck was stiff and was unable to move even just the slightest.

She seemed to looked towards Peter who seemed to be in as much pain as she was in. It didn't take him another second to kiss her. Some sort of pulse flowed through her entire body as she then felt the life come back into her. Her head seemed to drop slightly as she could feel that her neck was no longer stiff and tight.

Her entire body had felt as if the weight had come off of her, she felt free, like she could run without any pain. Camilla had pulled up her sleeves of her jacket and had ran her fingers over her now normal skin tone.

The Morse Curse was no longer. The curse was broken.

A small laugh of happiness seemed to fill the room as Camilla then wrapped her arms around Peter, instantly kissing him.

She's happy that this curse was no longer causing her pain, there was no more suffering. She had the rest of her life to think about, rather than assuming that she'd die in short amount of time. She was happy that she didn't have to worry about the thing's she hasn't completed yet.

When the pair pulled away, Camilla whispered, "I've missed you."

Peter seemed to smile. "I've missed you too, more than anything."

Camilla had seemed to give him a slight smirk as she placed her fingers onto the rim of what he wore. Pan seemed to know as to what she was thinking. "Later, okay? I've gotta go back and sort everything out with our boys and these adults."

She didn't seem to say anything, but she only nodded as a way to say 'okay'. It was then that a thick cloud of smoke covered the immortal boy as he went back to where the fighting all was.

Back where all the fighting was taking place, Pan appeared again, back where he stood before he vanished. Pan had then whistled while the Lost Boys ran back to their original positions beside Pan before all the fighting broke out.

"Remember what I told you. That map will show you where Henry is...only when you stop denying who you really are." Peter said, directed towards Emma, he then looked towards the rest of the group, "I'll make sure to send Henry your regards. Oh, and you don't have to worry about Jade anymore, she's where she belongs."

It was then that the Lost Boys retreated as they all seemed to somewhat cheer, leaving the group to realise that Camilla was no longer within their circle. Pan had her, meaning that it was another person of which they would have to save.

Jade had left Tinker Bell with the thoughts of which was filled with what Tink told her about Peter. She wasn't sure as to what she was meant to do with this information, hell she wasn't even sure what the hell was going through her mind at the moment. As much as she potentially wanted to rid her feelings which were bubbling up, she couldn't - either way she would have to face her feelings whether it was confessing it to someone or any other way of which she could think of.

It hadn't taken Jade long to get back to the camp where she seemed to hear Pan's rage and panic as to where she could possibly be considering that night had fallen and the fact that she went for a walk almost eight hours ago. She seemed to shrug off the idea on how long the walk took, but there was just a small part of her which seemed to smile at the amount of worry which was clear in Peter's voice.

She walked into the camp, trying her best not to be noticed by the boy who searched for her - the same boy who she learned had a crush on her. A warm smile seemed to form on her lips when she noticed how Felix was trying to talk to him in an attempt to calm his worried mind down. However, no matter how much Felix tried to speak, the tall blond seemed to get cut off, though it wasn't until Felix noticed Jade standing by a tree with Devin standing next to her.

"How long do you think you can go unnoticed?" Devin questioned.

"I give it between one to five minutes. Felix just saw me so it isn't long till he points it out to Pan." Jade responded as her eyes seemed to watch Peter pace up and down while the other Lost Boys seemed to watch him.

"Tell him," Devin spoke causing Jade to stare at him, "tell him what your heart is telling you. It doesn't have to be words. I remember my mom telling me back before I came here that 'actions speak louder than words', so - you know, if words are too much of a trouble which - by the looks of it - seems like it, use an action."

"I hate you for being right." Jade instantly said, for after all, Devin was right, but at the same time she was scared to admit how she felt.

"Awe, love you too." Devin responded with a hint of sarcasm. "Now, go. Admit your shit and don't over complicate shit like you normally do."

"Fine, shithead." Jade said as she then playfully rolled her eyes.

It was then that Jade noticed how Felix seemed to shove Peter, gaining his attention before Felix then made Jade's appearance in camp aware to the leader. A small sigh of relief seemed to flood Peter as the pair walked towards each other. The Lost Boys seemed to part a small path for Pan.

"Jade I-" Peter began once they were close enough to hear, but before he had the chance to finish what he was saying, Jade had grabbed his collar and pulled him into a kiss.

It had surprised Peter, quite a bit but he didn't seem to mind - instead he seemed relieved as he returned the kiss. Both Devin and Felix seemed to give each other a smile as both had enough of the pair of them complaining about their feelings for each other.

When the pair kissed, it felt as if an unknown weight had been lifted from Jade's shoulders, in a way it made her feel safe. His lips seemed soft, though she was able to feel the smile between the kiss. It was passionate, yet each didn't want to rush it.

It was Jade who broke away with a smile as she then put her head on his shoulder while Peter seemed to still be shocked by what had happened. It was a surprise to both of them - Jade because she never thought that she would ever manage to do something like that, while with Peter - he hadn't really expected the sudden kiss, but nonetheless he was happy that she felt the same way.

"Thank fuck!" Felix called out as the Lost Boys seemed to cheer slightly.

Peter seemed to let out a small chuckle, "I - uh - suppose I should ask-"

Cutting him off, Jade said, "-Yes, I would want to date you, if that was your question."

Peter didn't say anything as he wrapped his arms around Jade, pulling her into a hug. She did the same, though she nuzzled her head into his neck. Both Peter and Jade stood there for a moment with a smile largely written across their face. Neither of them wanting to break away from the hug, after all they finally got to admit their feelings even if it was in the way of which neither of them expected.

Emma had finally managed to unlock the map by admitting that she was - in fact - an orphan all alone in the world after admitting all of this to her mother. Once the map revealed itself, both Mary Margaret and Emma had instantly ran back to the others.

"The map is working. We know where Henry is." Emma informed, joining the group who all seemed to recover from the battle not that long ago.

"Where?" Regina demanded as the group all met within the middle of the camp.

Hook had taken hold of the map as the rest of them all looked towards it. "Uh... we're here at the southern tip of the isle, in the middle of the Dark Jungle, and Pan's camp lies due north."

"That's where he's keeping Henry." Emma stated. There was a small part of Emma which expected to hear a sarcastic remark from Camilla, which had made Emma realise that Pan had taken her during the fight.

"What are we waiting for?" Regina questioned, desperately wanting to get her son back as well has her former companion.

"Well, the terrains not easy. There will undoubtedly be some nasty impediments along the way." Hook explained, shortly.

"We should prepare. We only made it out of our last encounter because Pan let us-" David said.

Mary Margaret cut him off, "-And because he got Jade."

David nodded, he had kinda forgot that Pan had Camilla, "We need a new plan."

"Agreed. It's time we stop playing his game and he starts playing ours." Emma said.

"And if I disagree?" Regina asked, making some of the small group look at her.

It was then that the group heard a voice say behind them, "Then that would be dumb considering that your best chance is together."

"Camilla!" Mary Margaret gasped, "Are you-"

"-No, Pan wouldn't have let me see you, he knew that you wouldn't let me leave so he sent a hologram version of myself to speak to you, personally." Camilla explained.

"He's right, we wouldn't have let you leave." Emma told.

"Why do you need to speak to us?" Regina asked, "If Pan took you, then he needs you for whatever game he's playing."

Camilla had let out a sigh, "You don't know Peter like I do, he is completely mad about not loosing me like he did last time - Regina, meaning that he's hella a lot more protective than normal. What I'm trying to say is that don't come and get me, as much as you'd want to, my boys need me here and so does Pan."

It was then with that Camilla's holographic form had disappeared, leaving the group to stand there slightly confused as to what she meant, but no matter what she had said, they still planned to take Camilla with them.
