Peter Pans Lost Girl (OUAT)

trapped

"Oh sure lets go blame Crystal for saving Neverland and all of your sorry asses in the first place, why not? Easier to blame her than the world or the wicked witch." She bit her lip, but I remembered about Peter, and quickly turned around and walked away.

Of course I ran into a bush, where Peter was spying on us.

"What? You didn't trust me enough to g-" I started.

But his gaze was fixed on Amber. His mouth gaped open, he wouldn't meet my gaze.

"Amber?" He says squinting a little just to make sure she was real.

He stepped closer, and he smiled, he gave her a hug.

My inner jealousy began to come up. This hasn't happened in awhile now. I balled my fists, and clenched my teeth.

I had a weird feeling about "Amber"

Clearly they seemed like old friends. And he basically forgot I was even there. My putrid frustration, turned into tears, they spilled down my face. Henry was out there, possibly not even alive, 

I had to get the hell off Neverland, I had to save Henry, with or without his help. So I just ran. Something I understood I shouldn't do, but I did anyway. I ran until it got dark.

Then I remembered that Neverland was a trap, that was set by Pan.

Now that the green witch invaded it, I was lost. In a maze, purposely created to ensnare us, and like pan says, "Never play a game if you are 10 steps behind"

"Looking for me?' A voice says behind me.

I didn't even have to turn around to know who it was.

It was the witch. Her cool voice was empowering, I knew it was her.

"What the hell do you want with us? I don't even know you" I say, not daring to spin around, in case she was so ugly I melted or whatever.

"Oh dear, I see .. potential in you. I come bearing a mere warning. You can either come with me. Or watch your boyfriend fall in love with Amber"

I was speechless, what was I to say? She knew my weakness, and I didn't know her name.

"I don't even know what love is" I state bluntly silently glad the darkness concealed my emotions like a mask.

"Love is hard. Love is painful. Love is useless in the end. Because you will end up by yourself either way. There is a difference in choosing to not fall on your own mistakes, and blindly falling anyway fully understanding those consequences." She says her voice like an echo from behind.

"Oh are you some sort of expert on how people react when it comes to love?" I say now tired of her being behind me.

I swirl around. Her face was not visible. It was hidden behind a cloak.

"Oh my, I'm here to offer you a choice. You can stay with lover boy and have your heart broken while you are trapped. Or come with me and we will go back to Storybrooke, help me collect something of mine and Henry won't die, neither will his family" she says.

"How do you know he's going to fall in love with -"

She laughs, and conjures up an image.

"Peter, she's not around. What are you waiting for? This is the second chance we've been waiting for! I'm back Peter. My feelings never changed." Amber says quietly.

"I should never have left you. It haunts me all the time" Peter says quietly. I couldn't bare it anymore. After everything that we've been through he goes and follows the wind just like that. I should've know that the bloody demon just can't change no matter how much I want, and think he might.

I don't even understand why I bothered with him anymore. I should've stuck with Henry. He's the only family that's real now. I sit down, I wanted to scream in agony. But instead I manage two words without thinking.

"I'll go." I say quietly. She chuckles and waves her hand disappearing into green smoke, I hear her utter "I'll be back later"

I sighed. Maybe it was just a set up after all she was wicked. But she had my brother.

And I promised Emma.

I can't stay trapped here now, not when my family is at risk.

Peters POV

Amber coming back has been a total surprise to me. We were best friends. Nothing more, nothing less. "Peter she's not around. What are you waiting for? I'm back. This is the chance we have been waiting for. My feelings have not changed for you at all"

I remember that day all to well.

By she I think she meant the wicked witch, she stole her family's life, and now she trapped her on my island. It was the chance we have been waiting for to be free of her. And by feelings she meant that she trusts me, because I left her to die. Because I was eaten by self preservation. But thanks to Crystal she understands I have changed.

"I shouldn't have left. It haunts me everyday." I say.

"Let's not focus on the past, I am here now, and much more powerful thanks to you. I forgive you" she says.

"Crystal" I said. My eyes widening in panic.

"Where did she go?"

Crystals POV

I decided to go.

I didn't need to have my heart stabbed into a million pieces.

Even though it already is.

I wish I could change the past, I wish I could change meeting him. Because that witch is right. I fell blindly, I already knew exactly how it was going to all play out. But I still fell anyway.

I sighed. I had made up my mind.

There's no turning back now.
