Ariel

"Can I ask you something?" Henry asked after a second of them sitting in silence.

"Yeah sure."

"Has it changed... Neverland I mean?"

"Yeah, it has..." Ella said picking up her bow, loading an arrow and aimed for the tree, missing completely.

Ella groaned and ran her hand through her hair as she said, "I- I'm gonna go take a walk. I'll be back in a minute."

before Henry could reply Ella was already walking into the jungle

Henry sighed and decided to walk back to the camp, knowing Ella it wasn't a good idea to follow her when she was upset, it's better to just leave her to do what she needed to do.

But Ella wasn't upset, she was confused and scared

Her head won't stop hurting, Peter has been seen less and less and if everything turns into a fight she had no idea who she would back.

She was pulled out of her thoughts by the snap of a twig from behind her, she quickly span around and threw a dagger in that direction.

"Oh God!" She said covering her mouth as she saw that her dagger had embedded itself in a Lost Boys chest and said Lost Boy was now lying on the floor. Dead.

Ella walked over to a tree and sank down in front of it with her head in her knees.

"Ella?" She heard after a couple of minutes

Ella looked up and saw Mary Margaret sitting down next to her, "What did you do?" She said looking at the Lost Boy and wrapping her arms around Ella's shoulders

"I don't know, it just happened." Ella said not looking at Mary Margaret

"Look at me." Ella turned around and Mary Margaret gasped, "Blue eyes honey."

Ella sighed and said, "I know, when it happens I can't turn it off, I don't know what's happening to me... hell I don't even know if you're real."

"Why wouldn't I be real?" Mary Margaret said softly

"Because this island plays tricks." Ella rested her head on Mary Margaret's shoulder, "And... because of the curse."

"The curse that you won against? The one that's no longer killing you right?" Mary Margaret asked confused

Ella nodded and said, "It's gone in my heart...well where it should be but not in my head. My head is a mess all because the curse is still trying to break me and all I want to do is..."

"Scream?" Mary Margaret suggested

Ella nodded

"Do it." Mary Margaret said standing up, "Howl, let it out."

Ella thought about it for a minute before standing up, held her hands in a fist and quickly opened them showing that her nails had changed into claws

"You might want to cover your ears." Ella said with a smirk and Mary Margaret did just that

Ella took a deep breath and roared letting everything out

Henry probably being the truest believer

The curse in her head

Peter lying to her

All of her problems

. . . .

Peter was standing on the balcony of the treehouse looking over his camp when he heard a roar, Felix sprinting up the stairs and saw all of the lost boys look around scared all except Henry who obviously knew what the noise was
