Snowflake (Peter Pan OUAT x Reader)

Chapter Five

     "Great." Regina walked a short distance away.

     "She'll get there," Snow said, always the first to add a word of encouragement. Then she talked to Emma softly, undoubtedly continuing the encourage-fest. But Emma definitely looked like she needed it.

     Meanwhile you leaned against a tree and closed your eyes. You were off your game, if a single boy with good looks could destroy everything you had worked so hard to build.

     That was when Emma started talking to the parchment. You looked up in surprise. She was seated on the rock, telling the parchment everything about herself that she could think of. Telling her name, that she was Henry's mother, used to be a bails bondsperson and now was the sheriff of Storybrooke. The rest was a bit harder. That she was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, making her the product of true love. That she was sent away through the portal when she was a baby, so that she would be able to break a curse, which she did. The next part was the hardest of all, and needed quite a bit of encouragement. "I'm the Savior."

     Everyone looked closely, but you rolled your eyes. They, and particularly Hook, should have known that it wouldn't be that simple. Peter Pan would never make a puzzle that was solved so easily.

     Of course, nothing happened to the magical parchment. Emma got upset, Snow encouraged, and the Evil Queen walked right up and grabbed the parchment out of Emma's hands. You straightened. Finally something interesting was happening.

     The Evil Queen flipped the map every which way. "I'm beginning to think there isn't a map on here. That doesn't mean it can't lead us to Henry." She raised her hand, ready to start some magic spell.

     "I thought we decided that using magic was a bad idea," Charming interrupted her.

     "For once I agree with the prince," Hook added. "Well, I told you we are getting along."

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

     "A locator spell," the parchment glowed golden under her hand. She wiggled her fingers a bit as she explained, "This parchment belonged to Pan. It'll lead us to him. It rose up from her hand, leading the way through the trees.

     "So it appears we will be venturing into the dark jungle after all," Hook said.

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

     "That's the one."

     "Well, Emma," the Evil Queen stepped up to her. "You said you wanted to be the leader. Lead." And that is just what she did.

     Personally, you agreed with Hook. "Breaking Pan's rules would be unwise." But you couldn't go against what had been decided, and you knew Emma well enough to know that she would soon agree with the Evil Queen.

     What kind of game is Peter Pan playing with me? you asked yourself as you walked. He can't be my true love. It must be that I've just never kissed anyone before, and I'd never had anyone even notice me, much less a hot guy like him. I was just looking for a way to get away from my father and his horrible plans and something in me told me that he had to be there that night, and who else would it be besides him? All kisses, at least first kisses, feel like that, when they're given by a good kisser. He could have even put a spell on me. You nodded, confirming what you had just said to yourself. Those were two very valid reasons for your emotions.

     This whole time you had been quickly followed the parchment through the trees. It stopped abruptly and the Evil Queen said, "Wait, he's there. I can feel his smugness."

     Charming moved to the front and drew his sword. "Shall we? While we still have the element of surprise on our side." He headed forward. The Evil Queen followed.

     Before following, Hook gave a warning. "Careful. He may look like a boy, but he's a bloody demon." You followed him, as Snow encouraged Emma.

     As you went forward, there appeared to be no one there, just a deserted camp. "No one's here. Maybe your spell was wrong, Regina," Snow said.

     "Yes," the Evil Queen answered. "Blame me...again."

     Coming out, you saw Henry standing on a rocky outcropping, his back facing you. "Guys, hold on...is that...Henry!" Emma rushed forward.

     But you froze where you were, grabbing your pouch because you instinctively knew something they didn't.

     The person turned around, but it wasn't Henry wearing his own clothes, it was him. He smirked as he looked into your eyes. "Hi, Emma." The rest of the group formed around her, but you stayed where you were, frozen.

     "Where the hell is Henry?" Emma demanded.

      You broke the rules. That's not fair. Bad form. I expected more from you, Captain." He walked along the ridge.

     His voice was getting to you, and you clutched your pouch harder.

     "Aye and you'll get it." Hook responded angrily.

     "Give Henry to me!" Emma said angrily.

     "Sorry, can't. Don't you know? Cheaters never win." He stopped where he was, a humongous smirk on his face, and lost boys came out of the jungle and surrounded, making animal sounds. You moved forward and joined the group. More lost boys came, surrounding you on every side. You were surprised by their sheer number. Some held torches; others aimed their bows straight at you.

     Everyone prepared to fight as Hook warned, "Watch out for their arrows. They're laced with dreamshade." This time, you wouldn't get distracted by a boy with a pretty face.

     The lost boys released their arrows and fighting broke out. But you returned their arrows with your own quickly, and then as the lost boys came closer you pulled out your daggers. Focusing on a lost boy, you pinned him to a tree with a one, two, and three, perfect throws. But just as you turned around to find a new target, excruciating pain filled your stomach. You swiveled, wincing as the knife cut deeper, punching the owner of the sword squarely in the jaw and getting your own sword out of its sheathe as he recovered.

     The two of you entered into a fierce battle. He was matching you stroke for stroke, as your wound weakened you. You fought through the pain and fought harder. Soon you had him completely on the defensive. All his strokes were simply to prevent yours. You smirked, your eyes glinting.

     That was when you heard a whistle. The lost boy ran up to the cliff, taking his place behind Peter. Pan. He said some words to Emma then disappeared into the trees along with the lost boys. Your head was feeling foggy and you could barely understand what was happening. Your vision started to go dark. Your knees buckled, and the last thing you remember is hitting the ground.
