"We need a concrete plan," Emma announced, pacing around camp. My eyes trailed over to two new additions to the search party. I immediately recognized the very man who took my mother from me. Rumpelstiltskin. I glared at him. I snuck my hand behind my back and slowly unleashed my knife from the back of my satchel. I gripped it behind me and kept a careful eye on him. I froze at the sight of the person who he was standing next to. My face relaxed and I dropped the knife on the ground. It made a little thud but no one heard it.
"Bae." I whispered to myself. He's alive. Holy shit! How?! He disappeared. Our eyes met and I quickly turned away from him, grabbing my knife and putting it back in my satchel as quick as I could. Suddenly, I felt the feeling of his presence. Pan is here. I looked at one of the girls and lifted my finger to her to signal I wanted her to come by me. She whispered something to the girl who was next to her before walking over to me.
"Yes, miss?" She asked.
"Guard the perimeter. I can feel him. Pan.... He's here." I ordered and she nodded. She moved over to the others and told them. They rushed out of camp and I rejoined the group, allowing my black hair to brush down against my face.
"Riley!" My head rose at the mention of my name. Emma stared at me. "I have a plan and it involves you." I stood still and silent. "You have to get Pan to fall in love with you." I scoffed and started to laugh.
"No, seriously. What?" I laughed and stopped. They were serious. "No. No. NO. NO!"
"Just make him fall for you! That's all!" She exclaimed.
"You think it's so easy to do that! It's impossible! He's a demon!" I yelled out.
"A demon that took my son!" She raised her voice. I stopped and my face softened. Henry. "Do you remember your mother?"
"Some of her." I simply said. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"It has to do with everything. How I feel and how Henry feels right now. She loves-"
"Loved." I corrected. My eyes darted over to the Dark One who had a stone cold expression. I looked back at Emma with no emotion. "She's dead."
"I'm sorry," Emma mumbled. I rolled my eyes. I looked down at my feet and huffed out of my nose in frustration. I stepped closer to Emma until I was inches away from her face.
"I don't want your pity nor do I have time for it." I hissed. Emma seemed taken back and I looked at the rest of everyone's reactions. Nothing but, silence. I turned on my heel and walked out of camp.
"Riley! Wait!" I heard someone shout and I stopped in my tracks. My head rested on my shoulder and I saw Baelfire. "Please. He's my son." Baelfire begged. I swallowed, nervously. Emma and him.
"Fine." I agreed, quietly. Bae smiled and took my hand. As we entered campsite, everyone stared at me. I walked up to Emma who was next to Mary Margaret and David. "I'm in."
