Felix x Reader (From Once Upon a Time)

Chapter 12.

"You think that if I knew how to do that, I wouldn't have done it already?" Regina asked Neal.

"The moon," I said.

"The moon?" Regina questioned.

"The moon is what cause's our shadows right?" I said. "What if there was a way to block it out using magic?"

"What?" Neal asked. "Like an eclipse? Is that even possible?"

"Maybe," Regina replied.

"So?" I asked

"I would need help," Regina said.

"With magic?" I asked.

"It requires a lot," Regina said. "I guess we are about to find out how much those lessons I gave you paid off." She stood up from the rock she had been sitting on and gestured for me to stand up as well.

"Follow my lead," Regina said. We put our hands in the air and used our magic to start the eclipse.

Peter's POV:

"This is it," I said to Henry. "The place where you are going to save magic."

"Why does it have to be here?" Henry asked.

"Because this is the place where Neverland's magic emanates."

I lead him toward the center of Skull Rock, where he looked in wonder at the huge hourglass in the middle of the room.

"What's the hourglass for?" Henry asked.

"It marks how much time we have left before Neverland's magic runs out," I said.

"It's almost empty," Henry commented. I looked around the room, getting the feeling that someone had just walked through the protection spell that I had put up a few moments prior.

"Is something wrong?" Henry asked.

"No," I said. "Now, come with me." I led him to another room and let him sit down on a large rock.

"There is something that I need to take care of before I get started, okay?" I said. I then turned and walked back to the room with the hourglass to meet my intruder.

"Hello laddie," I said in disgust, as Rumple stepped towards me.

"Oh," I said, looking at Pandora's box in his hand. "I see you've come bearing gifts."

"Where is Henry?" Rumple asked.

"Oh, you mean my great-grandson? You still haven't told the others who I really am, have you? Not even your own son. Why?"

"Because you are nothing but a coward to me," Rumple replied.

"We both know, if that were true, I'd already be in that box," I said, pointing at it in his hand.

"You don't think I can do it?" Rumple asked. "You let me inside just to taunt me?"

"No. To see you again. To give you one, last, chance. Stay with me. Let this go. Let's start over."

"Do you think I wanna be with you? That I could ever forgive you after you abandoned me?"

"I'm disappointed, Rumple. After all these years, I thought you would be more understanding. Considering that you did the same thing to your son. You traded Baelfire for the power of a dagger, and I traded you for youth. We're a lot more alike than you'd care to admit."

"We are nothing alike!"

"Of course we are. And it's nothing to be ashamed of. Neither one of us was cut out to be a father, my boy."
