Lets Play

*Lila (Lee-la)*

I walked tentatively through the woods trying to get back to my father, Emma, and the rest who lay hidden. Within seconds, the sound of laughter and boys howling filled the air. The Lost Boys.

I began running back to camp and when I got close enough I could just make out Pan wearing Henry’s clothes. Suddenly, someone burst through the bush next to me, jumped on top of me, and clamped his hand over my mouth.

“Lila, calm down it’s me.” Killian slowly moved his hand from my mouth and put a finger to his lips. “Dad get off of me.” I whisper yelled. “I’m going to go out there and you are going to hide. No but’s Lila, do as I say.” “Yes cap’in” I hate when he does that.

“Ah Hook, glad you could join us. What’s this? No Lila by your side? Scared I’m goin’ to take her away from you again?” The monster himself taunted.

I sat and watched as Killian became enraged with the name Pan gave him. He hates that, almost as much as he hates me not calling him dad or captain.

It feels weird to be back, every year we’d visit just for a week or two and pay respects to Killian’s brother, Uncle Liam. Pan says that he doesn’t allow anyone off the island without his permission, but me and Killian found away years ago yet he still makes it near impossible for us.

Normally, I’d spend days exploring and I always managed to bump into Pan. He was so good to me.

We hadn’t stepped foot on Neverland in the past 2 years and I’d missed the island. How the flowers turn from a vibrant entrancing colours through the day to pastel faded colours at night. Or how the rays of sun light in the morning gave an orange tint to everything it touches.

I laid back and looked at the sky that was slowly turning blue showing that night was upon us. I listened to the sound of Pan’s voice, telling lies and him aggravating my father further about Emma and me. I hate him and his delusions of me staying with him forever... forever is an awfully long time.

That’s it! Forever...

*******

When he had finished taunting them and disappeard, I came out from my hidding spot and ran and hugged Killian.

I stepped back and crossed my arms across my chest.

“I know how to get Henry back.” My voice sounding quiet and shaky.

It was true, I did. I didn’t mind the sacrifice I’d have to take. Storybrooke never felt like home but to Henry it’s his kingdom. Henry belongs in the real world he was born there not in another realm like the rest of us.

“Really? Well tell us deary, it appears you have a lot to tell.”

“Quit it Gold. Lila, no way. It isn’t happening. I’m not loosing you to that monster again.”

“I got to Kil- Dad. What’s the one thing Pan has really wanted from day one? And you know as well as I do that Henry isn’t the only one with the heart that he needs.”

“To piss me off and Lila he knows. I’m pretty sure he did all this to get us here.” As much as I want to deny this, I knew deep down it was true.

After much discussion I convinced Killian to do this and a plan was formed. Pan has wanted me from the go and at one point I wanted him but he did something I could never forgive him for. We know that it will have to be Killian to talk with Pan as then he will know how annoyed and pissed of he will be.

I guess it’s true. Peter Pan never fails.
