Anna's P.O.V.

I woke up leaning against a tree in the woods. Where am I? I thought to myself, before remembering what'd happened last night. But where was Peter?

"Glad to see you're finally awake," I heard a voice say to me, full of sarcasm. Regina. "You do realise Pan could've easily killed you if he found you out here?"

I smirked to myself slightly. If only she knew. "Sorry, I needed to be alone," I lied.

"Well your little storm out last night lost us valuable time," she said angrily, "you will pay for that,"

"Regina back off!" I heard Snow's voice call. Appearing from the woods, she ran up to me and crouched down to face me. "Are you alright?" she asked kindly. I liked Snow.

"Yeah... I'm really sorry for storming out yesterday," I admitted, "I don't have an excuse, no matter what I've been through."

"Kid if you've been through anything like what I've been through - and judging by how you act I can tell you have - then you have every right to get angry." said Emma. It seemed the whole group were around me now.

"I know, but I still shouldn't have done that. It's not like I'm the only one in the world who feels this way," I said, standing up, "Like I said, I'm sorry."

Snow hugged me and whispered in my ear, "We care about you, Anna,"

***

We'd been following Peter's map for hours, but every time we seemed to get close to where the 'X' was, it'd move. Like actually move on the paper. I guess I shouldn't underestimate anything here.

"Great job saviour, you've got us lost," said Regina.

"We're not lost!" she fired back, "It's Pan's camp, he keeps moving it!"

"Well then we're not moving fast enough," said Regina, raising her voice.

"Moving quicker isn't going to help at all!"

"Well give me the map and I'll enchant it then!"

"No! Remember what happened last time we didn't listen to Pan?"

"SHUT UP!" shouted Snow, much to everyone's surprise. "Don't you see? This is exactly what Pan wants!"

Everyone remained silent for a while, until Hook spoke up. "She's right. Pan only wants us to argue so we end up wasting time. Like I said earlier - this is a game to him,"

I looked down at the ground. Every time someone said something like that it made me think that Peter was only pretending to like me in order to cause more arguments in the group, but then I thought back to the way he looked at me. He really confused me.

"Guys look," breathed Emma, staring at the map. "The 'X' has moved again, and it looks like-"

"I'm right here," said I voice from the trees. Peter walked out with a smirk on his face. "So Emma, you did what I asked? See, it wasn't that hard was it,"

"Where's my son?" said Emma angrily.

"He's fine, having a lot of fun actually," he grinned, "hasn't said one word about you at all."

I hated this. I wanted to defend my friends, but I know it pained Peter when I went against him. Why am I stuck in this position? I looked up to see Peter staring right at me. His eyes were enough to drive anyone crazy. But I looked away to see Emma. She missed her son, and I know with time I could help get him back, I could convince Peter. Why me?

Suddenly I was brought back to my senses when Emma charged at Peter and held her sword to his neck. "Where is my son?" she asked again, with a more sinister tone to her voice.

"I've already told you," replied Peter, staying calm. Emma pushed the sword along his neck, making a slight cut.

"No!" I shouted, then immediately shut my mouth. How could I be so stupid? Regina stormed up to me and plunged her hand into my chest, pulling out my heart. She tarted to squeeze it giving me agonizing pain.

"You are working for him, aren't you?" she said, crushing my heart even more.

"No..." I squeaked, "I just thought that-" I paused to try to catch my breath, "that if you hurt him he'll take it out on Henry,"

"Regina stop it now!" Screamed Snow. Regina sighed and pushed my heart back into me. I inhaled deeply. "Anna are you okay?"

I didn't reply, but I just stared at Peter. Was he mad at me? I'm so stupid! But he winked at me and smirked slightly. We were fine.

Suddenly Peter materialized in front of Regina. "Don't hurt her again," he threatened, before disappearing. Great, now I had to answer to them.

***

"Why did he care whether I hurt you or not?!" shouted Regina for the 4th time since it'd happened.

"I wish I knew!" I lied to her.

"There has to be a reason. I've never seen Pan get that defensive over anyone, so why would he care about a regular girl?" added Hook, then he turned to me, "no offence."

"None taken," I replied.

"Anna is there something you're not telling us?" asked Snow gently.

I couldn't look her in the eyes. I was normally good at lying, but Snow was so kind to me it was difficult to tell her anything but the truth. 

"See! She's hiding something!" accused Regina, "I should've crushed your heart while I had the chance,"

"Well then Peter would've killed you," I said coldly. I'd had enough of her. Wait, shit. Did I just call him Peter in front of them?

"Since when has anyone called him by his first name?" asked Hook, "Even his lost boys call him Pan,"

"Well, uh, I think..." I stuttered. Now I'd done it.

"You are hiding something!" shouted Regina, "You know where Henry is, don't you!?"

"No! I swear I have no idea where your son is, I promise!" I rushed.

"Well then swear to us that nothing is going on between you and Pan!" she shouted.

"Nothing is-" then I saw her face. Although Regina was short tempered and full of hatred, she still loved her son. They all loved Henry. I took a deep breath in.

"Back when we were fighting, and Peter had his sword to my neck, he asked me to tell him about my life. I though a little extra time before he killed me couldn't hurt, so I did,"

"Why would Pan want to know about you?" said Regina coldly.

"Because after I told him, he said I'd fit in here, that my story was so similar to the lost boys," 

"So he wants you to stay? Anna you can't!" exclaimed Snow.

I looked up at her. At all of them. They'd been so nice to me through all of this. "I really don't know what I want to do..."

"Anna what do you have here? There's nothing here worth staying for!" said David. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't tell them about Peter, Regina would kill me, and I really don't think Peter wants them to know either.

"I don't know," I sighed, then I sat down showing them that they weren't going to get any more out of me. The group disbanded in defeat, except for Snow, who sat down beside me.

"You love him, don't you?" she said once everyone else was out of earshot.

"I don't know what love is," I replied.

"Anna, Pan is a cold-blooded demon. There's no good in him. No matter what you do he isn't going to have feelings for you," she said. So she thought that it was just a crush?

"Then why did he kiss me," I blurted out. She stared at me in astonishment. "Yeah you heard me right. After he said I'd fit in he dropped his sword and kissed me. When he dropped it, it must've caught my neck, which is how I had the cut,"

"But your cuts gone,"

"He healed it for me,"

"Anna I... I don't know what to say..." she said.

"But I do," said Hook approaching us. Crap, he heard too? "Anna this is like de ja vu for me. You can't trust him,"

"Did I ask for your opinion?"

"No but you're getting it anyway. Anna in your world - where we're all just fairy tales, is there a girl called Wendy Darling?" he asked.

"Yes..." That completely slipped my mind.

"Well in this world, Pan kidnapped Wendy. He pretended to love her but then he took her heart, and her life..."

"Why?" I asked 

"So he could live longer. That's why he needs Henry. You see, Henry has the heart of the truest believer, so with that Pan can become immortal, and all powerful. Wendy was just to keep him going. That's why he wants you - to keep him going until he can convince Henry that we're not coming for him,"

I couldn't speak. I wanted it to be a lie but it all made sense. He was trying to weaken me so he could take my heart just to live a little longer. I couldn't believe I'd been so blind. I got up and stormed off into the forest. I heard Snow calling me but I completely ignored her.

No more happiness for me. I was born to be alone.
