Third person POV
"We don't have much of a choice but to keep going! Henry's life is in danger. I'm not going to let Pan get to him before we do!" Regina yelled at the bunch from Storybrooke. Killian shot her a look.
"Well, then I suppose we should keep going until we all die from lack of food, water, and sleep!" He shot back.
"Guys-" Emma tried to interject. It was safe to say the lot of them were at each other's throats. There was high pressure, high tension, and lots of nerves involved.
"Since I've been on this island many a time, Your Majesty, maybe you should step down from your bloody throne for a minute and let me handle this!" Killian snapped at the Queen.
"Guys." Emma said again, a bit louder.
"What can a one handed wonder like yourself do? Other than sit uselessly drinking rum all day when my sons life is in danger!"
"GUYS!" Emma raised her voice, finally getting the attention of the two adults arguing.
"We're going to need to stick together if we want to rescue Henry. We can't act recklessly. We have to be smart about this." Emma said, getting a scoff from Regina.
But suddenly, there was a strangers voice...
"How do you know Henry? What do you want with him?" The female voice hissed from behind them. The group turned, furrowing their eyebrows. All of them drew some sort of weapon. Apart from Killian.
The pirate stared at the girl aiming her bow and arrow at him, his jaw dropped.
"Eden..." he whispered, stepping closer to her.
"Not another step. You think I'd ever trust you again after what you did? You betrayed Bae and I." Eden hissed. Her words caught the attention of the blonde woman, the one so desperately holding onto her love for Neil.
"I've changed... I'm a different man." Killian said, moving closer despite her warning. He took a good look at her, a sigh escaping his chapped lips.
"Though it looks like you have changed as well." He mumbled.
"I haven't seen you in fifty years. Of course I've changed." She said softly. After a moment, she lowered her bow, slinging it round her shoulder.
"So, I ask you again, what do you want with Henry?" The girl glanced at Killian, glaring.
"You're planning to hand him over to Pan like you did me and Bae? Too late. Pan already has him." Eden said.
Emma moves closer, gently pushing Killian out of her way. Regina seemed curious, but mostly angry. She was mad she hadn't gotten to He ru first. Eden looked at their faces and knew they didn't mean to hurt Henry.
"I'm Emma. I'm Henry's mother." She said.
"The woman who gave birth to him. I'm his mother." Regina butted in. The lot rolled their eyes, but said nothing.
"His mothers... right. Well, I've never seen a parent follow their boy to NeverLand. They're all much to coward to face Pan. I tried to save Henry. It didn't work. Pan found us anyway. I imagine he took him to his camp." Eden said.
"And what makes you think we believe you? You could be working for Pan for all we know. I thought only lost boys were allowed in NeverLand. I've never heard of a lost girl. You must work for him, or mean something to him. Which means we have leverage to get Henry..." Regina hissed, a fire ball made from magic forming in her hand.
"Regina!" Snow White yelled, cutting her off.
"Yes, yes. Snow White and her Prince Charming coming to the rescue. Your kisses and flower pedals won't work here." Regina hissed. Eden's eyes widened.
"Snow White... and Prince Charming? Oh my." Eden said, chuckling softly.
"Well, I suppose I have you to thank for being here. You were so desperate to protect your baby and your kingdom that you didn't even think about all the people that you were killing." Eden snapped, crossing her arms. Snow's face paled. She was motionless for a moment before glancing at the cuff on the girl's wrist.
"You survived... w-we're so sorry. It got out of hand. We were just trying to rid of dark magic." David mumbled.
"Survived I did. Pan spared me. He had an interest in me. Then, I was scared. I was innocent. I was hopeful and full of love. And I was wrong. Anyone who trusts Peter Pan is a fool." She whispered, shaking her head.
"It doesn't matter. I'm sure I have history with all of you. Whether we know it or not. The only person I'm interested in holding a grudge against is Pan. And possibly you." She said, looking at Killian again.
"I know where Pan's camp is. But he moves it. And, I'd be a dead girl walking if I went anywhere near that camp. Pan and the most boys don't exactly like me." She said.
"Everyone used to love you... what did he do?" Killian whispered. Everyone glanced at him, then at her. Eden's heart was still aching from what happened fifty wears ago, and from what had just happened with him.
"That is none of your business. Shut up about it." Eden spoke harshly, but behind that harshness was pain that all of them could detect.
"I will help you if you help me. I'll help you find Henry if when you leave, you take me with you. There is nothing left for home here. No one left that I love...." yet that wasn't true.
"I want to leave. I want to go home." She said, gulping.
"There is no enchanted forest anymore."
Snow whispered, making Eden sigh.
"Then where is our new home?"
Emma looked at her, then at their group. They knew this was their only chance to get Henry back.
"Storybrooke."
