The Return (Once Upon a Time sequel)

Chapter 12

×Jade×

Two weeks have passed since Alek's arrival on Neverland and things haven't changed much. He still can't get along with most of the Lost Boys but he's managed to get on good terms with two or three. Peter still shows him some apathy and suspition every once in a while but Alek is quite good at covering his tracks and trying to blend in.

I, on the other hand, have befriended some of the Lost Boys. Peter and I still have a rocky relationship but we get along much better than before. I try not to cause much trouble and win more of his trust so that he can let me wander around more freely. I mostly hang out in the fairy territory though, the fairies have accepted me and every day, I visit them to help them with whatever they're doing. Tink and I have become good friends too.
Unfortunately, my mother hasn't showed up yet. Every day I keep hoping that she'll come, but every day is another disappointment. I still continue my fight classes by the way, Nate is an excellent teacher and I've learned enough, although I still hate the idea of fighting.

"Ja-Felicity!" A voice yelled my name, making me look up from my work.

I was helping out with the gardening work, planting different kinds of vegetables. How the Lost Boys find all these seeds, will always be a mystery to me.

"Alek, it's Felicity remember? Felicity! How many times do I have to repeat it?" I hissed as the blue eyed boy came closer to me.

"I'm sorry, it's just so difficult to call you with a different name. Even after two weeks." Alek apologized, making me sigh.

"Just, be careful okay? I don't want anyone to know my real name." I waved it off, returning to digging a small hole in the ground.

"Right. Why don't you want them to know your real name again?" Asked Alek.

"Because they know something about my mother and I don't know in what kind of danger it will put you or me if I tell them who I really am." I explained once more.

"Oooh, right! Anyway, Tink's here...she wants to talk to you." He announced, making me stand up and brush myself off.

Walking to the entrance of the camp, my eyes landed on the dirty blonde fairy that had been keeping me company these last two weeks. Tink waved enthusiastically at me before looking me up and down with a disgusted look on her face.

"Gosh Felicity, I came at the right time I see." She said as I neared her.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"We, are going to go for a swim. And you, you need a bath." Tink announced grabbing my wrist, wanting to drag me with her.

"But I'm not ready with the garden yet! I was going to plant some carrots today." I argued.

"That can wait, come on already, it's hot out and I can't see you in all that dirt." Tink whined, pulling me with her to our spot.

It was a big lake with a waterfall, showering down so that it crashed into the crystal blue lake beneath it. Whenever I needed a bath, Tink and I would come here alone or with the other fairies, she never let me come alone though, don't know why...

After a long walk through the woods, Tink and I arrived at the lake. The crystal blue water shone in the daylight and the green around it looked brighter than usually. I quickly took my clothes off so that I was left in my undergarments. I took a leap and jumped into the water, letting the cold liquid cool me off. It really was a hot day.
When I resurfaced, my eyes searched the lake for Tink who came to the surface as well, gasping for air. We both swam around for a little bit and Tink used some of her powers to do little tricks with the flowers and the plants that were underwater, lifting us up and letting us slide down like a waterslide. Whenever we were here with the rest of her friends, they did tricks with the green that surrounded us or with the water and with every element that they possesed. I wished that I could do all those amazing tricks too but unfortunately, I was human.
