Jenny's POV

I stay invisible in the shadows behind a tree as I watch the Dark One, also known as Rumplestiltskin, cut out his shadow and takes out his dagger. Peter told me about the Dark One's dagger. If I could just get my hands on it...

"You know what to do. Hide it where no one can find it, not even me." The Dark One says to his shadow. I'll have Peter's shadow follow the Dark One's shadow, it would be quite interesting if I got my hands on it.

Jenny's POV

"Are you sure she's going to wake up to the sound of crying children?" I asked, unsure of his plan.

"She's a lost girl, of course she's going to hear it." Peter reassures me. He suddenly looked to his left then held one finger up to his lips signaling she was coming.

A few seconds later the blonde walked past our hiding spot and we quietly followed suit. Then Peter finally speaks.

"You hear that, too? You're Emma, right? I wonder why I can't hear the crying." Emma turns around and her gaze turns to Peter first then to me.

"Who are you two?" She asks warily.

"Oh, did we forget to introduce ourselves? I'm Peter, Peter Pan." He introduces himself then looks at me signaling my turn.

"And I'm Jenny, Jenny Pan." I mock curtsy, never breaking eye contact with Emma.

Emma suddenly becomes angry by the mention of our names and steps closer to us.

"Where's Henry?" She gritted her teeth.

"You've got fire. I like fire." I mentally roll my eyes at his statement. Oh Peter, you play with fire too much.

"Where's my son?" She snarled glaring daggers into our heads.

"Henry is still alive, if that's what you're worried about." I say not really answering her question. She turns to me then steps closer.

"Why the hell did you take him?" She questions again, raising her voice.

"He's a very special boy, Emma." I said.

"I know. That doesn't answer my question. What do you want with him?" She asked again. She asks too many questions, damn.

"I came here to see who I was up against 'the savior'. Gotta say I'm not disappointed." Peter smirked.

"What do you say now? You're gonna tell me how I'm never going to see Henry again?" Emma said, shifting her eyes over to Peter and I.

"No I'm going to help you find him. I'll give you a map. A map that will lead you straight to your son." As he said that, I pulled the map out of my pocket and handed it out to Emma.

"If this is some kind of trap..." She warily says but reluctantly took it.

"I may not be the most well-behaved boy on the island," You got that right. "but I always keep my promises. The path to finding Henry is in this parchment." He points out.

"Why are you giving it to me?" She asks suspiciously.

"See, it's not about finding Henry. It's about how you find him. And Emma, you are the only one who can."

Emma opens up the parchment and realizes that it's blank. Ha.

"It's blank."

"Did you really think that it was going to be that easy?" I scoffed. She shot me an irritated glare and I just maliciously smirked in response.
