"You're smart, Felix," Edric smiles, hanging onto the Alp's hand so tightly that the creature winces in pain. "I would never be able to outsmart the evil Queen that quick." Edric looks up at the Alp with wide eyes, adoration present as well as something darker.
"She loves the boy," the Alp says simply. "That makes her weak."
"And we shouldn't have weaknesses."
"Very good." The Alp nods in approval, taking his hand out of the child's grip once they reach the old well deep in the forest that surrounds Storybrooke on almost all sides. "This is it, this is where we'll cast it. The ingredients?" Edric pulls the sack out of thin air, handing it to his master with glee. This was his first true spell since he came to be under the Alp's tutelage and he was anxious that it go well.
"When it's done….Will all of them die?"
"Worse than that. They'll be slaves to this new land we're making, with no idea who they once were. Death is final, Edric. Their suffering….Will be eternal." And he would be finished pulling Pan's strings once and for all. He drops vile after vile into the well—the source of the town's supply of magic and so the strongest point in town aside from Rumpelstiltskin's store and Regina's vault.

"Another curse," Snows asks in exasperation," it's happening again?"
"Gold," Emma inquires," this curse, is it gonna work like the last one?"
"The last one was created to service the Queen's wishes," Papa tells us. "This will be done per Felix's desire. I would count on something hellish." Pan sucks in a sharp breath, running a hand over his face and looking as though someone had just punched him in the gut. "What is it?"
"It's unstoppable, right," he checks, continuing at Regina's nod. "Felix hates each and every one of us, and what better way to make us suffer than to create a new Neverland using the Queen's curse? We'll lose our memories and our happy endings, and he'll get all the nightmares he wants."
"It's not actually unstoppable, we need to get ahold of the scroll itself. It can only be undone by the person who used the scroll. That's you, Regina."
"What do I have to do," Regina asks.
"You must destroy the scroll. Both your curse and his shall be ended, but know this—there will be a price. A steep one."
"W-what do you suggest?" What will the price be and how will it affect all of us? When Papa says a price is steep, then it'll be a bad one that makes people hurt.
"Instead of going to him, bring him to us with a spell—one that will return Felix and Henry to their own bodies." I open my mouth to point out the technical flaw, but Papa cuts me off by holding up his hand. "Fine, little bird, it will return Felix to his false human body." I bit my lip, pushing my glasses back up my nose as I watch the people around me try to wrap their heads around the new plan.
"If I'm back in my own body, that means I'll have the scroll," Henry says in understanding. "I-I can bring it to you guys."
"Exactly right, Henry."
"Even you aren't powerful enough to cast such a spell," Regina points out.
"Well, given the proper tool, I could be."
"The Black Fairy's wand," Tink pipes up. "One of the most powerful Fairies that ever existed. Well-versed in dark magic. The Blue Fairy exiled her, but before she did, she took her wand." Well, that might be useful in the long run of all this madness. There is a twisting in my stomach and I know it's from the fear of what's to come. If this goes wrong, I could end up back where I started in this world with false memories in a place I don't belong in.
"I assume our dearly departed Mother Superior had it hidden at her residence."
"Then what are we waiting for," David asks impatiently. "Let's hit the convent."
"Can I come," Tink asks. "I should pay my respects to Blue, after all."
"Then it's settled," Papa concludes. "The rest of us should go back to my shop and prepare Henry for the spell."

I walk into the convent behind everyone else, Pan going with Papa and a few of the others back to the shop. He would be able to destroy the extra form Felix had forced Henry into once my nephew was out of it. Four Fairies stand in front of Mother Superior's coffin, dressed in their usual outfits of dark blue with crucifixes around their throats. The viewing room is pretty big with pews on either side of the aisle, and stained glass windows depicting different scenes or angels from the bible.
"Sorry to interrupt," Tink says, sounding anything but," but we need your help."
"With what," one of the Fairies asks as they all turn to face us.
"Black Fairy's wand is here," my brother says. "We need it."
"We can never—"
"Yeah, it's a terrible, terrible thing," Tink interrupts. But what's coming is worse. Where is it?" A loud thump echoes through the convent and I can spot Felix's true form flying past the windows before it disappears.
"What the hell is that," David asks loudly, trying to be heard over Felix's shrieking.
"Felix has entered the building, ladies and gentlemen," I quip, watching as the Shadow flies back and forth past the windows as a scare tactic. I have to give it to him, it's scary enough to send the nuns running for cover and I felt like joining them!
"Stay covered," my dad calls out, grabbing my arm and pulling me over to one of the pews. Felix flies in through an opened window, flying across the ceiling and shrieking louder. "Over here!" We all squat between the pews on the floor, watching Felix dart back and forth. "Perhaps you should have gone with Emma."
"What, and let you guys have all the fun?"
Neverland—A Long Time Ago….
"Mister Smee, you might want to pick up the pace," Hook tells his first mate irritably. "It would do our journey—and your physique—some good." The two men were walking quickly through the dark jungle of Neverland, Hook leading the way with the lantern and Mister Smee following behind.
"Sorry, Cap'n," Smee apologizes breathlessly. He wasn't sorry in the slightest, but he knew saying otherwise would result in punishment. "It's just, this place gives me the creeps." He pauses, listening to the howls in the distance, before hurriedly catching back up with Hook. "Don't you think we should head back to the ship?"
"Not until I've found a way off this accursed island. We've dawdled here for too long. Now that I know that my daughter is still alive and there's a dagger can end the Dark One, we must return to our land. My purpose is renewed." The Captain begins to walk again, Smee lagging behind as he walks on tired and sore feet.
"Why can't your purpose be back at the ship where it's safe?" As if to put emphasis on his words, a stick flies out of the trees and impacts with Smee's forehead, knocking the man to the ground with a quiet grunt. He blacks out for a moment before he comes back into consciousness, his head now joining his ever-growing list of aches and pains. He brings one hand up to his head and rubs while opening his eyes.
Above him, everything seemed to be double and swaying, though there was no wind. His eyes cross slightly, barely able to make out the faint glow of stars beyond the canopy of trees. "I'd risk my life for two things," he hears his Captain say," love and revenge." Who was he talking to? Smee doesn't have the strength to raise his head, the dizziness a warning for him to either stay where he was or run the risk of vomiting all over Hook's boots. If he did that, then he would be the one to clean them once they were back on the Jolly Rodger. "I lost half of the first and the second half of it is in the Dark One's arms. If I die for my vengeance, then that's enough satisfaction for me."

"So, all we have to do is light the candle again, right," David checks. "That's how you trapped it in Neverland?" Yeah, and almost died doing it.
"Yeah," Neal confirms. "But this time I say we get rid of it for good." Dad pushes on my shoulder until I'm half under the pew behind us, unable to see what was going on above me. What I do see, however, is a bright pink piece of bubble gum laying a few inches away. I scrunch my nose up in disgust, sliding back a little until I could no longer smell it.
"I'll draw its ire," Dad says.
"Are you sure you want to do this," Tink asks.
"If it's the only way to prevent this bloody curse from obliterating us all, then it's a risk I'm willing to take."
"I thought you'd only risk your life for love or revenge?"
"Well, the love of my life is lying under one of these pews, but there's also one other thing I'd risk my life for—me." I grab his ankle before he stands up, making him look down at me.
"Don't die," I order sternly. "If you do, I'll bring you back and I'll kill you myself."
"Yes, ma'am." With one last look at him, I release his ankle and let him stand up. I crawl out from under the pew, popping up beside David as Neal climbs over the pew to sit next to Tink, and watching as my father runs out in the middle of the aisle. "Hey!" The Shadow swoops down, forcing my father to duck down. "Is that the best you've got?" Felix swoops back down again, knocking Dad to the ground and sending him sliding across the floor towards us.
David grabs him, helping him back over to where I'm kneeling. "Can you trap it," Tink asks.
"No," David answers," it's too high, we've got to get closer."
"And I can't fly up there," Neal adds. He waits a moment, looking down at the Fairy sitting next to him. "Tink…."
"If you didn't notice," Tink reminds him," I don't have my wings."
"But you have Pixie dust."
"That doesn't work." David reaches over the top, resting his hand on Tink's shoulder.
"No, no, no, Tink," he tells her," you made it work once. You can do it again." I watch the blonde Fairy stand up and walk out into the open, then I watch as a green glow surrounds her. With a quick smile, she takes the two halves of the coconut from Neal, using her newfound magic to light the wick, and rise into the air. Felix is drawn towards the flame, trapped when she covers the candle part of the coconut with the upper part.
Slowly and carefully, she comes back down to the ground and I let out a breath of relief when she lands. Without a second's hesitation, she tosses the coconut into one of the little fires lit in a stand and all of us watch as smoke rises and Felix shrieks as part of himself is killed. All of us stand and walk out into the aisle, my legs no longer cramping for kneeling for so long.
"Look who's still a Fairy," Dad smiles, stopping in front of Tink with his good hand clutching his sore side.
"Look who's still a pirate," she responds. "Are you alright?"
"Well, I lost a hand once. This is nothing." I smile at him, pacing to get rid of the leg cramps completely.
"For the record, I know why you risked your life back there ad it wasn't for yourself or revenge. It was for your little girl and for Emma." Emma again, the one woman around here that seems to be able to draw men to her like bugs to one of those zapper thingies that people hang outside to kill the bugs it attracts.
"Well done, Green." I look past my dad to see who it was that spoke, not recognizing the voice right away.
"Blue! But you were—"
"Gone. I know." She looks at me with an amused smile, making Dad look back at me and close my mouth with his good hand. I blink a couple of times, taking in the Fairy that was supposed to be dead, and was dead not three minutes ago. "When you killed the Shadow, mine was returned and I was revived. Thank you." Greg is gonna be one pissed off guy when he wakes up on Neverland. "You finally believed in yourself, Green—Tinker Bell. Welcome back."
"I'm a Fairy again? Even after I disobeyed all your rules?" Blue laughs a little, her hands clasped in front of her.
"I might've been overly strict."
"Understatement of the century," I grumble," you whacked me with one of your pamphlets just because I said I believed in other things."
"Yes, well, dark magic isn't something you should be believing in."
"Why not, it's the only thing that seems to work right in this damn world."
"Do I need to find another pamphlet, Morgan Elizabeth Gold?" That has my dad snorting in laughter, the noise dying away when he sees the dirty looks Blue and I send him. "Is something funny, Hook?"
"Ah, it's just that my daughter's middle name in this world is the same as her mother's." His smile slowly diminishes when Blue and I continue to glare. "She, uh, she hated it….I'm going to shut up now."
"That would be smart. Now, as for the Black Fairy's wand." She holds out her hand, the wand appearing there out of thin air. I can feel the shift of magic in the air, the usually light feeling taking on a darker edge. "Go. Save us all." She gives the wand to Neal and all of our group, minus Tink, run back to Papa's shop.
Pan meets me in the doorway of the backroom, giving me a small, awkward smile. "God, he threatened you, didn't he," I ask, frowning.
"Just a little," Pan nods, moving us both to the side so the others could file inside. "He might have threatened to personally castrate me if I ever so much as sat beside you on a bed."
"Well, I guess we won't do it on a bed from now on." I wink, giving his hand a squeeze before walking over to my papa. "Really, castration?"
"Who on earth would you castrate," David asks with a little amusement until he follows Papa's gaze to Pan. "Oh."
"Why do you sound so shocked?"
"I don't know, you just look like the kind of girl who would wait until you were married."
"I wish," Dad grumbles, crossing his arms. Papa scowls, taking a black leather cuff out of the cupboard.
"What is that," Snow asks.
"This is one of the only useful things I managed to pilfer from Greg and Tamara before they left for Neverland." He walks over to Henry with the cuff and I notice how uncomfortable Regina looks. "It renders anyone with magic utterly powerless."
"I haven't forgotten about all that, by the way," Regina says, sending a look in my dad's direction. Dad shifts a little, not looking apologetic in the slightest.
"Let me see your wrist, Henry." Papa settles the cuff around Henry's—or Felix's—wrist, making sure it was secure. "I want to make sure that when Felix awakens, that he's weakened." He taps the cuff. "This will block his powers."
"So what happens now," Henry asks nervously.
"I enact the spell, you fall into a deep sleep, and when you awake, you're back in your own body." Regina leans forward slightly to look into Henry's eyes.
"And then you hang onto that scroll," she adds," and you come find us as fast as you can." I reach out and grab my father's hand, the dark haired man staring down at me and taking his hand back to wrap his arm around my shoulder, kissing the top of my head and holding me close to him.
"When I gave my heart to Felix," Henry says," I thought I was being a hero. I'm sorry."
"No, you're not the one that needs to be sorry," David tells him. "Felix does."
"It's time," Papa says solemnly. Regina and Emma get up so that Henry can lie back on the cot and Papa can do his thing unobstructed. "Keep your eye on the wand." He waves the wand over Henry's head a few times, the boy's eyes slowly closing before Papa touches the wand to his forehead. There's a gold flash of magic and then Henry is convulsing, the only thing stopping me from going to him being the arm my dad has around me,
"What's happening," Emma asks worriedly.
"Henry's spirit is leaving Felix's false body." He continues to convulse a few moments more until he finally goes completely still.
"It worked," Regina smiles.
"Let's go find our son," Emma suggests. She and Regina are the first to leave, followed by Emma's parents, then my dad, Pan, and Neal with only Papa, Belle, and I left behind.
"You're not coming," she asks, staying beside him while I linger in the doorway.
"No, No, I-I think not. Felix and I have some, uh….Unfinished business." Belle nods, squeezing his arm before walking out. I walk over to Papa, surprising him when I give him a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. "What's that for," he asks, pulling back a little to look down at me.
"Because I love you. You're my one and only papa." He smiles softly, hugging me again and resting his cheek on my head for a little while.
"And I love my one and only daughter. Now, run along with the others before Hook follows through with my castration idea." I laugh at that, giving my papa one last kiss before running out of the shop to catch up with the other guys. I don't get far after we recruit Granny before a feeling of wrongness makes me pause.
"What's the matter," Pan asks as the others run out of the diner.
"I don't know. It's probably nothing, let's go." I take his hand, lacing our fingers together as we run down the street towards the tower just as Henry bursts out.
"It's me," he yells happily. "It's me, it worked!" He runs straight for his moms, the three of them dropping to their knees and hugging each other. "Mom, Mom, I just saw you guys. You just saw me."
"But we didn't see you," Regina reminds him. I push past everyone, leaving Pan behind as I run to my nephew and basically tackle him to the ground in a hug.
"Mo-Mo!"
"Squirt! God, I was so scared for a minute." I hold my nephew tightly, never having been so scared in my life. Not even Mordred scared as much as thinking I would never see my nephew again did. "Never do that again, alright?"
"You got it, no more body switching." He smiles as we both get to our feet again, pulling something red out of his pocket and handing it to Emma.
"Oh, he's got it," Emma says in relief, handing it to Regina. "It's up to you now." Regina holds the small scroll in her hand, looking around nervously. A bright purple flash of magic shoots out of the scroll, the flash nearly blinding me and sending Regina to the ground in unconsciousness. "Regina!"
