Peter Pan, True Love // Peter x Y/n // OUAT

8 Thinking Tree

Peter and I lower to the ground.

"What did you do to him." Emma asks desperately.

"Oh, I didn't do anything, Emma. It was Henry. He offered me his heart of his own free will." Peter says still holding my hand.

"I'm gonna take it back from you." Emma says standing up and pulling out her sword.
She lunges at us but we teleported behind her as Peter picks up the box that holds Rumple.

"I don't think you have it in you." Peter says as everyone looks at us, "Rumplestiltskin didn't. Why should you?"

"Where is he?" Emma asks.

"What did you do?" Bae says as Peter and I walk around.

"Why, he's right in this box. Safe and sound and out of the way. Unfortunately for you he can't hurt me anymore. Neither can you." Peter says looking at the box before tossing it to me.

"Really?" Emma says as she swings her sword this time cutting Peter a little, "How did that feel?"

"Like a tickle." Peter says and we float up again this time we fly out one of the windows, which is really one of the giant skulls eyes.

We fly over Neverland, and go to Peter's thinking tree. We gently land on the tree. I Peter sits down on a branch high up I sit beside him resting my head on his chest.

I smile up at him, "We did it, we finally did it."

"We did." He smiles and kisses my head.

We sit there in silence for awhile till we hear voices below. Peter sighed and I sit up straight as we appear at the bottom of the tree. We walk out from behind to see Emma, Snow and Regina held against the tree by vines.

"Are you still at it? Do you know?" Peter picks up the sword that Emma dropped, "Peter Pan never fails. I didn't expect you to find me. Then again, I shouldn't be surprised, you're mothers. Quite tenuous about your offspring. Believe it or not, I understand that. But if you're looking to see Henry again, I have to tell you. There's only one place you'll be reunited. In death."
I smile and Peter and watch the three attempt to escape.

"Having trouble moving?" I say.

"Not a surprise, given where you are. You see what's hastening your demise is your regret." Peter said.

"What are you talking about?" Emma asks.

"This tree is the site of a very important event for me. I abandoned my boy here." Peter admits.

"You have a Son?" Regina asks.

"I'm older than I look." Peter says.

"If you have a child, you must regret losing him too." Emma says.

"But I don't. Quite the opposite, actually." Peter walks over and picks up the box that holds Rumple, "You see, I have him all boxed up so I don't lose him again."

"Rumplestiltskin is your Son?" Regina asked.

"That he is." Peter says.

"How is that possible? You're..." Snow says before being interrupted by Peter.

"Younger than him? Not really. Just like you and your Daughter."

"You're a fraud, your magic is weakened. You can't even hurt us, let alone Rumplestiltskin." Regina calls Peter, I pull my knife out but Peter puts his hand on my arm and walks in front of Regina.

"You're right. But that's why we're here. This tree will protect me until my power is restored. And then? Well, then we get to have some real fun. And I won't have to ever worry about my child again. Something else we will soon have in common." Peter tells them.

    "There has to be another way." Emma says.

    "No." I stand rate in front of her.

    "Your not going to get to us. You see, this tree attacks the regret inside anyone who comes here. And you? You've got plenty." Peter tells her.

    "I regret not taking a better shot at you when I had the chance." Emma confidently said,

    "Well, that's not all, is it, Savior? No, I have your sons heart inside me. I can feel just how much you let him down, time and time again." Peter says standing close to Emma.

    "Leave her alone." Snow White asks.

    "Perhaps I should." Peter then walks over in front of Snow, "After all, what chance did she have of being a good mother? Look at the example you set, abandoning her for 28 years."

    "Are you finished?" Regina asks and Peter walks over to her.

     "Last words from the Queen? Perhaps a deathbed confession from the one who has the most regret of all?" Peter says.

    "Yeah, there's one problem with that. I did cast a curse that devastated an entire population. I have tortured and murdered. I've done some terrible things. I should be overflowing with regret, but I'm not." Regina says and breaks the vines, "Because it got me my Son."

Emma grabs me as Regina sticks her hand inside Peter's chest.

    "Peter!" I scream.

Regina pulls out Henry's heart and Peter falls to his hands and knees. I kick Emma off and run down to him. As Regina picks up the box that holds Rumple and the three run off. Peter lays on the ground weak.

    "Peter, Peter." I helped him sit up.

    "I need that heart." Peter weakly said.

    "We will get it, just catch your breath and regain some of your strength then we can go." I tell him.

I help Peter too his feet and we appear on the the ship below deck. I see Henry laying in a bed. Peter walks over pulling out a knife.

"I'm sorry it had to come to this, Henry." Peter says standing above him.

"What, what are you doing." Henry stammered.

"I wanted your heart, Henry. But your mother took it away from me. Left me for dead. Her mistake." Peter puts his hand to Henry's chest but is shocked back.

"What was that?" I ask looking at Peter's hand. "A protection spell." I whisper more to myself.

"Oh, how clever!" Peter says.

Peter goes forward and starts to pull out Henry's Shadow from his back.

"What are you doing?" Henry asks in pain.

"Blood magic works both ways, Father." I spin around to see Rumple.

Peter is still struggling to get Henry's Shadow out. Rumple then opens the box and red smoke comes out trying to pull Peter in, I go over to Peter and grab his arm. But just as he is about to get taken in by the box I see his eyes flash bright yellow, I let go, he is taken in.
Because I knew exactly what Peter just did, he switched bodies, with Henry.
