The dark Lilith [OUAT Peter Pan X oc]

Chapter seventeen: Welcome back

''I've seen enemy battle plans that were easier to decode than this.''

''Let me see.'' As Emma took the map from David, she looked at the building of the baby crib, frowning as she tried to figure it out. 

As the phone rang, Neal got up from his spot, taking the phone.

''Peter? Peter slow down ... Lily is what!?'' 

As everyone ran into the shop, there was a weak Lillian in the bed. Neal rushed to his sister and took her into his arms. Almost crying as he held her. She held him as tightly as she could, which wasn't very tight because her arms were as weak as noodles. 

Peter smiled at the sight, and while he did, David draped an arm around the young boy. They smiled at one another before turning back to Lillian. Her skin was paler than ever, her blue eyes weren't sparkling like they used to and her hair was a full mess. 

As Neal let go of the small, now fragile girl, he allowed Regina and Emma to take the young girl in their arms. Staring at her face, Regina took her face into her hands. ''Welcome back.'' 

''What happened?'' Emma asked, referring to the scar in her hand. Lillian turned to face Peter as she smiled. 

''Peter ... a true loves kiss.'' 

Supporting Lillian's weight, Peter was holding onto her waist, taking one step at a time, they walked down into Regina's vault. The three of them were going to teach Emma magic. 

''Don't touch anything.'' Regina warned Emma. 

''How am I supposed to learn magic if I can't touch anything?'' 

''Like Lilith and I learned from Rumple ... -''

''Creating a solid foundation.'' Lillian reseeded, waving her hands around herself as Peter held onto her waist, guiding her down the last step. 

''And than let your skills grow from the ground up.'' Regina finished for the young girl. For now, they were refusing to let her work with her own magic, but she was still very helpful. Of course she would be, she had been the student and even the assistant of the dark one. 

''And if that doesn't work, I'll help you out as well, savior.'' Peter answered, still looking over a very tired looking Lillian. ''Now that I think about it, who is looking after my lost boy?''

''First of all, he isn't a lost boy. And Hook is. I trust him, he brought me back to Storybrooke when he didn't have to.''

''Of course he did, you haven't noticed the way he looks at you? Wauw, you are even blinder than me with blood red eyes.'' Emma frowned at the young girl, she hadn't said much, but when she did speak, she made sure everyone heard her. 

''Let's start with roots for incantations.'' As Regina showed Emma a book with elfish words, Peter guided Lillian onto one of the rocks, placing her down onto it. 

''Is this how Rumple taught you two? Isn't there another method he used?''

''There is, but you don't have a brother you can kill.'' As all eyes turned to Lillian, Emma lifted one of her eyebrows. ''What? I killed my brother before Rumple taught me anything.'' 

''Yeah ... Rumple was a bully. He didn't suffer fools, and he certainly didn't coddle his students. And if he tried to teach you how to swim and you couldn't learn, you drowned.'' As her eyes widened, she turned to Lillian. ''You rest, I have an idea.'' She waved her hand and both she and Emma disappeared.
