Storybrooke
Peter's Point of View:
I held onto Riley's hand, studying her every feature. What was she dreaming about? I hoped me. I heard the door close and I looked up to see Emma, Hook, Henry, and Regina. Henry pulled up a chair from the corner of the room and sat down next to me.
"How're you doing?" Emma walked over to me and put a hand on my shoulder. I shook my head and bit down on my lips as they trembled.
"Not good," I sniffled. "I've tried everything from spells to books on curses and prophecies, but nothing."
"Have you tried True Love's Kiss?" Henry asked full of hope.
"Until my lips bled," I mumbled, wiping the tears that were pouring down my face.
Dream World: Enchanted Forest
Riley's Point of View:
"Wake up!" I felt my body being shook and I jolted up, looking all around. My eyes focused on Pan who was standing above me. "It's about time."
"How long was I out?" I asked, groggily.
"A full twenty minutes," Pan informed me. "You bumped your head on the way out of the portal. I healed your wound that was on the back of your head," He explained. My hand shot to the back of my head and I felt it. Nothing.
"Thank you," I said, sincerely and he nodded.
"You're welcome. Now, we should get going," He held his hand out and I took it. He pulled me up to my feet. I adjusted my bag that was around my shoulder. "We have to walk. The Pixie Dust has worn off and I don't think anyone is kind enough to give us any here," He darted over to a path that would lead us into the woods. He stopped at the end of the trail and I looked up. In the distance, a beanstalk stood tall. It towered up through the ground and into the clouds.
"Do we-" I stopped, shocked.
"Climb that? Yes, we do," Pan answered for me and started to walk towards it. Suddenly, I heard some horses nay. A carriage made its way towards us. I immediately recognized it. I grabbed Pan's hand and dragged him to the bushes, crouching down and hiding. The Queen. The horses dashed past us, quickly and I sighed. "What was that? That was the Queen's carriage."
"Indeed," I spoke, going back on the trail.
"Have you dealt with her before?" He asked and I nodded.
"She and I have a complicated history," I summarized and he chuckled.
"What happened? Did you steal one of her apples?" He teased and I rolled my eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Let's just go get your beans so we can go back to the island," I spat, walking away. We arrived at the beanstalk and I looked up it, terrified. "You expect me to climb that?!" Pan rolled his shirt sleeves up and nodded.
"Why? Are you afraid of heights? Need I remind you that we just flew here?" He pointed out and I shook my head. I kept looking up there. "Come, we have a long climb. Oh and don't look down," He teased with a cheeky grin as he started to climb without me. I glared at him and started one of the longest days of my life.
Would you guys climb a beanstalk?? I wouldn't. I am deathly afraid of heights.
