The Return (Once Upon a Time sequel)

Chapter 7

Peeking through the green leaves, I saw the pirates looking around with scowls on their faces.

"Where did she go?" One of them questioned while looking around.

"Great. Now we've lost 'er, the C'ptain will feed us to the sharks!" The other one growled in his thick British accent.

"C'mon, we have to keep lookin'." The same pirate said and hit the other one on the head.

"Ow, why'd you do that for?" The other pirate whined as he rubbed his head. His Scottish accent thick as well.

They then disappeared into the distance and I found my opportunity to stand on the foot of the person who held me in the bushes.

A deep groan was heard and the strong arm that was wrapped around my waist tightly, let me go. I quickly jumped out of the bushes and turned around.

"Nate! You scared the living crap out of me!!" I yelled at the groaning boy who held onto his foot.

"Well, you could at least thank me because I just saved your life." Nate suggested sarcastically as he came out of the bushes as well.

I blew a strand of my hair out of my face and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Thank you." I muttered.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. What were you doing at the beach anyway? Didn't Pan warn you about the pirates?" Nate questioned.

I thought back at the tour, trying to remember anything about pirates but nothing came up so I shook my head.

"Not that I remember..." I replied, trailing off.

"Well, he should've warned you. Don't go out on the beach at midday, the pirates will be there at that time of the day and believe me, you don't want them to catch you."

I nodded my head and looked down. My head was tilted up though by an index finger and I was left, looking at Nate's face, which was very close to mine may I add. He studied my face with a small frown on his own.

"Come on, we have to clean up those small cuts on you face." He ordered.

I brought my hand up to my face and touched my cheekbone, wincing in pain when my fingertips touched a small cut that was there. Great, how did that happen?

The touch of a warm hand grabbing my wrist and my body moving forwards snapped me out of my thoughts. Looking up, I saw that Nate was pulling me through the forest towards...wherever we were going.

*~*~*~*

Not much later, we stopped in front of a big white gate that was in between two gigantic trees that had beautiful flowers in them.

"Where are we?" I asked, not remembering this place. Sure, it seemed familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it.

"You have the memory of a goldfish." Nate chuckled and I playfully pushed him.

"No I don't!! I'm just not used to remembering a whole island in one day!!" I protested, causing Nate to laugh.

"Okay, whatever Felicity."

Felicity?

"Felicity?" I questioned confused.

Who the hell is Felicity?

"Yeah...that's your name right? Or did I get it wrong?" Nate said.

Oops...

"Oh yes, you got it right. Sorry, I'm just..." Way to go Jade, he's not going to get suspicious at all.
