I didn't expect to see Pan sitting in our cave when I took a break from swimming, but there he was, sitting with his legs stretched out in front of him and his back against the smooth wall. "What on earth are you wearing," he chuckles, looking me over appreciatively.
"It's called a swim suit," I answer, sitting on the edge of where the cave joins the water, kicking my feet back and forth gently. The suit is a one piece and relative modest, a blue that almost matches my eyes. "I got bored in the camp and decided to go swimming while you were away."
"I can see that." He seems to be in a good mood and that makes everything easier. "Come here, I have a surprise for you." Curiosity gets the better of me as I stand up and walk over where he's now standing, using magic to dry off completely so I don't get him wet when he turns my back to him and rests his hands on my upper arms. "Close your eyes," he whispers in my ear, his warm breath making me shiver. I do as he said, closing my eyes as I feel his magic swirl around me—the feel of it uncomfortable when compared to Papa's or the magic I siphon off and twist into my own. "Open them."
I look around the cave, not seeing anything that wasn't already there. "What am I supposed to be looking at?" An old fashioned mirror appears in front of me, reflecting my image back at me. My long hair was no longer hanging down my back in tangles and my swim suit had changed as well. The top part of my hair is tied out of my face by a braid and the rest of it falls in soft curls that looked natural and stunning with a few diamonds threaded throughout it. My swim suit has transformed into a strapless white dress that brushed the cave floor, a gauzy bit of matching fabric over that and some purple flowers sewn onto it regularly until just below my waist where they form single lines until my knees.
"Do you like it?"
"I look like a Princess." This dress would make any woman feel beautiful, the soft fabric clinging to my breasts where it was held in place, but billowing out from there. It was a dress Papa might have had made for me back in the Enchanted Forest, though there would have been sleeves and not nearly as much cleavage revealed.
"No, Aveena, you look like a Queen." He wraps his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder as I study his face in the mirror. He was smiling, but something about that smile brought back old feelings of fear. He must see it in my eyes because with a simple wave of his hand, the mirror vanishes and I'm left staring at the wall. "How would you like to be my Queen?"
"I…." The fear I felt was like a living thing, cutting off my air and making the faith I had in Pan waver. "Ah, I don't…." Suddenly the feeling of his arms around made me feel sick to my stomach. I just want that old kindergarten rule of no touching to come into play, but if I do that now what would happen?
"What is it?" He turns me to face him, one arm still keeping me against him and the fingers of his free hand tilting my chin up so that I look at him. His brows are drawn together as he studies me, his eyes still holding that strange darkness that made my skin crawl.
"I want to go back to the camp." Pan's eyes harden, a scowl marring his handsome features. "Please, I just want to go back to the camp with Hen—"
Pan
Pan glares down at Aveena's unconscious body lying on the ground. He'd seen the unimaginable terror in her eyes as her faith in her father returned, he'd seen the love she felt dim a little before he made the mirror vanish. He had to admit that she truly did look nice in the gown, more like a woman than a girl. "You actually did it."
"Did you doubt I would," he asks as Felix steps into the cave. The blonde boy gives Pan a lazy grin, setting his club down so he could pick Aveena up. "Put her in a cage next to her brother, let's give our Captain some hope before we break him."
"Aren't you afraid that she won't want to return to you?"
"She's had a taste of the darkness, Felix, one cannot walk away from it—they continue to crave more and I'm the only one who can give it to her." He smirks darkly, walking towards the back of the cave as Felix leaves. The back wall slides away to reveal a smaller room that held the objects that washed up on the shore from other lands.
Hook
The last thing Killian expected when he stepped into the cave was that there would be two cages set on the thick pillar in the middle of the cave. "Emma!" Neal's shout echoes through the cave and Emma takes a step back, close to tears. Killian stands to the side, trying to see who was in the second cage despite the knot in his stomach.
"It must be a hundred feet across," Snow says.
"Even if we fashioned some rope, there's nothing to attach it to," the Prince adds. "No way to swing over."
"So what do we do," Emma asks determinedly.
"I told you what needs to be done," Killian answers, spotting a flash of blue in the second cage that may have been eyes fluttering open. "Consider this the moment of truth, literally. Now…" He turns to face the family with a sarcastic smile. "Who wants to kick things off?"
"So what, someone tells their secret and they sprout wings?"
"I don't know the particulars, only what I've been told."
"Well, how do you know it'll work," David asks.
With a sigh, Killian steps up to the ledge, thinking through all his dirty little secrets until he finds one that might work. "There's only one way to find out, I suppose." He lets out a sigh, unable to look at Neal, so he faces the Charmings again. "I kissed Emma."
"You did what?!"
"David," Snow admonishes," now is not the time."
"I already told Mary-Margret, so technically it's not a secret," Emma shrugs. "But it was just a kiss. How's that your darkest secret?"
"It's what the kiss exposed," he says softly. "My secret is, I never thought I'd be capable of letting go of my first love—of my Milah—to believe that I could find someone else that is, until I met you." A rumble makes them all jerk and turn as part of a ledge grows from the pillar towards them. It doesn't come all the way, but it lets them know they're on the right track.
"I'm next," Snow says breathlessly. "Ever since the curse broke, since we found each other, since we found Emma….And all of that happiness, there is something I haven't wanted to admit. Our daughter is a beautiful, smart, amazing woman whom I love very much, and of whom I could not be more proud. But she's all grown up. And…." She begins to tear up, the emotions making Killian feel uncomfortable. "As much as I wanna pretend I'm okay with that, I'm not. We missed it, David. What we have with her is unique, but it's not what I wanted. We were cheated out of everything—her first step, her first word, her first smile. We missed it all."
"What are you saying," David asks sadly.
"When we get off this island and get back to Storybrooke, I want another go at it. I wanna have another baby." The rumble starts up again and the ledge has grown closer to them.
"Nothing in this world would make me happier, and I know with all my heart that you would make and amazing mother." Killian was feeling guilty now, he had saved the Prince, but in return, the Prince was stuck on Neverland. "But it can never happen….At least not with me."
"What do you mean?"
"When Hook and I went to search for the sextant, he was really taking me to find a cure."
"A cure for what?" Oh great, now the woman is angry. Killian sighs, wondering if his daughter's moods were as changeable.
"Dreamshade."
"The Lost Boys, the arrow—you pushed me out of the way—"
"I wasn't fast enough. I was hit. Hook was able to find a cure, but it comes at a price. I can't leave Neverland. If I do, I'll die." The ledge joins their perch now, forming a bridge to Neal and Aveena. Emma unsheathes the sword Killian had given her, leading the way across with hesitant steps. Killian follows after her and kneels in front of the second cage. Aveena stares up at him, her half-closed eyes telling him she's only just woken up from a magical sleep.
"Dad," she asks, a sleepy tone in her voice.
"Yeah," he smiles," it's me, sweetheart. Just hold on a moment and I'll have you out of here." He jumps when Emma begins hitting Neal's cage with her sword, doing no damage. He lets Neal deal with her while he focuses on his daughter.
"Wha-what's your secret?"
"My secret is that….For the first two years after you were taken I didn't search for you." He swallows hard, forcing back his tears. "I just stayed in my cabin and let Smee take care of everything while I got drunk. I never thought I would see you again because I couldn't picture having you here without your mother, I wanted the Dark One to kill all of us so we could be together. And when I got you back in Storybrooke, I wanted my revenge more than I wanted you, but now I don't care…I just want my little girl back."
The front of her cage dissolves and Killian pulls her out into his arms, holding her tightly as Pan's magic wore off a little more. "You're so stupid." Killian's heart clenches, afraid of what she would say and if he truly wanted to hear it. "Smee can barely tie his own shoes let alone take care of the Jolly Roger." He chuckles, picking her up in his arms and carrying her across to the exit of the cave. Once everyone was outside again, the animal come running up, jumping on Killian's legs until he sat Aveena down on their level.
She laughs, hugging the cat and dog and letting them sit in her lap despite the fact that Pup was taller than her when he stood on his hind legs. "Thank you," Neal says genuinely with a smile.
"Well, don't thank us yet," David says. "We still have to save Henry."
"We found your star map," Killian speaks up. "So the real question is, do you know how to get off this island?"
"If we can find Henry, I can get us home," Neal confirms.
"Well, let's go get Tinker Bell and retrieve the boy. I want my daughter off this island and away from that demon as soon as possible." He helps Aveena to stand and walks after her along the twisting path in the jungle, letting her, the Prince, and Snow go in front of him while he hung back to make sure the other two in their group didn't get lost.
"I have a secret too, Emma," he hears Neal say," I'm ever gonna stop fighting for you. Never." He can't help the jealousy that rips though him, not wanting to lose another woman he cares for slip through his fingers.
Killian wants Emma and he'll have her in the end.
