Klaras pov.:
After a while I dosed of to the sound of soothing music, It also must have been very late, and a whole night of dancing, no wonder I was going to pass out tired.
I woke up to the feeling of pressure being pushed on top of my lower body. When I opened my eyes, I saw pan over my body, covering my mouth with his hand, while using the other hand to tell to me to be quiet.
He then slowly leaned over and whispered in my ear: "Hooks awake he's on watch duty, so stay quiet and follow me." By this point my heart was racing over the roof, but I ignored the butterflies in my stomach and nodded my head.
He got off me, and gestured his hand to me, to help me up, but instead of taking it I smacked it away and got up on my own, this made pan smirk and shake his head, as he started to walk to the forest, as I followed closely behind.
After a while of walking I decided to speak up: " why didn't you just poof us away? You did it last time." "That's because regina would be able to sense my powers." He simply said.
"Okay then, what do you want?" He stoped in his tracks, and turned around to face me, he seemed annoyed with me. "Look, you still have to do more distracting, that's why I thought I was gonna take you somewhere safe, for you to hide." "Hide? Hide from what?" I cut in. "You didn't let me finish!" He glared at me. "Okay, okay! Sorry!" I apologize.
"As I was saying, we're gonna make it look like you ran away, that way they're going to have to find you first befor they find Henry." He continued. "No offense but that's kind of a shity plan." I said as he looked at me confused while also looking offended at the same time. "Do you have a better plan?" He hissed. "As a matter of fact, I do! You probably think that they'll care for me to the point that they'll risk their own family members life just to find my stupid ass the second time of running away, well you're obviously wrong about that." I explained. "Well then tell me your brilliant plan." "Fuck no! I already helped you enough!" I replied. "Do you wanna get stranded in the middle of no where all alone or what?" He threatened. "Go ahead! I'm not scared, I've been in this type of situation before, what makes you think I wont survive?" "Ugh! You are so infuriating!!!" He shouted at me. "I know that! Look we can just play along with your plan, but that doesn't mean it'll work, because you might not know this but Peter Pan DOES fail!" I shouted back, pissing pan to the point where he slammed my whole body against a tree, while have a knife at my throat.
"You dare talk back to me!" "Go ahead... do it!" I looked straight into his eyes with no fear, as his expression softened. We started into each other's eyes for a while, before pan pulled away.
"Tell me what your plan is or I'll go after Henry." He said simply. He really knew my weakness, I couldn't let Henry die earlier.
I looked away from him, disappointed in myself as I spoke: "If you pretend to kidnapped me, they might be more concerned with my well being, but you'd have to kidnap me in front of them. Make it seem that I'm important. So they would come and save me." I explained with little to no life in my words, I felt like I was betraying everyone, and it pained me deeply.
Pan then with no words walked closer to me, and grabbed my arm pulling me towards him. He had me facing back towards him, while he once again had me at a knife point.
"What a brilliant idea, love. Now play along." He whispered into my ear, making my heart skip a beat.
He teleported us to where I was sleeping before, just to cause a big scene. "Start struggling." He whispered into my ear again, as I yelled out for help: "H-hey! Let go of me!!!" "Klara!?" Emma, snow and charming shouted. "Let go of her!" Emma threatened. "Oh, but I'm afraid I can't do that, you see, I want her!" My eyes widened at the words pan said. "And if you want her back, you'll just have to get her back, but I highly doubt it, since you do care for Henry more." He continued. 'This isn't right.' I thought to myself as I regretted my decisions.
I was about to blur out the truth, when he knew what my intentions were, he covered my mouth with his hand, I struggled against his grip, but it was no use.
"Fine, what do you want pan!" Emma shouted. "Oh, you'll just have to find out when you find her!" Pan shouted back as, he threw her another map, I'm guessing its something similar to the map we got earlier to help us find Henry. "This map will not only help you find Henry, but it'll also help you find klara. Now tick tock, times running out!" He said as he once again teleported us away.
When we got to his thinking tree, he threw me against it, so I'd get mangled in its vines. "You think you were gonna get out of this, turns out that I was really kidnapping you. What a cliche." He said to me threateningly. "Now wouldn't this have been better if you would have just played along?" He asked in a deep voice. "I'm not just gonna sit around and do nothing while Henry's life is in danger!" I replied with full of anger.
Pan then slapped me so hard over the face, that my neck hurt from the fast and hard head turn, I felt a numb but tingling sensation in my cheeks, as I felt a tear stream down my face.
He stepped even closer to me to whispered in my ear: "No one... uses that tone against me." He then leaned back, and saw the tear on my cheek, as he decided to whip it with his tumb.
I saw no emotion in his eyes, and the thought if him possibly being a sycophant, made a shiver go down my spine.
We once again started into each other's eyes for a while, before pan pulled away, and teleported himself away, as I stood there in pure awkward silence.
Peter pan's POV.:
I got back to my tree house, as I barged in through the door. I sat on the edge of my bed, holding my head in distress. "What am I doing!? Why do I feel this way!?" I was mad at myself. 'I can't possibly be having feelings for this girl?' I thought to myself. "UGH!!!" I groaned, as I threw a pillow hard at a wall. "I can't fall in love! I cant stoop that low! I'm better then those heroes!" I shouted as I stood up and walked to the bathroom where I leaned over the sink and washed up my face with water to snap myself to out of this dreamlike state, then I looked up at the mirror. I stared at myself in the mirror for a while before I once again spoke. "Love is weakness." I whispered, reminding myself of the truth.
------
After much time has passed, I went to check in on how the hero's were doing and they've figured out the map and were on their way to save klara. So I decided to go check in on her one last time.
When I got to my thinking tree I heard singing. "Are you? Are you? Coming to the tree? They strung up a man. They say who murdered three. Strange things did happen here. No stranger would it be. If we met at midnight. In the hanging tree." Klara sang, as I listened for a while.
When all of a sudden the birds around us sang along. I stared in disbelief, just as much as klara was confused, she continued to sing at the birds whistles got louder. She really was something.
After a while the song came to an end, as the birds around us stopped in sync. "Awesome." Klara said excitedly, as she looked up at the trees around us with motive in her eyes. Then all of a sudden a noise came from a far. "Um... Hello!?" Klara called out. "Klara? Klara is that you!?" Emma called back. "Guys I'm over here!!!" Klara shouted.
They ran out of the bushes, revealing themselves to klara. Which meant that this was my que.
Klara's POV.:
I saw everyone pop out of the bushes, but before any of us could say anything we were interrupted. "Good job Emma, you did it. But right now is not the time for victories, I'd say you have to get klara out of her trap." Pan says, I already knew what he was talking about, but the rest of the group didn't. I hung my head down in defeat, I knew what I needed to do.
"That's the least of our problems! All we need to do is get her out of those vines." Regina said as she got closer to me trying to free me of the vines, by trying to cut it down, but all that did was squeeze me even tighter. "R-Regina! N-no! S-STOP!" I screamed and groaned in pain. As I could bearly breed at this point. "Regina! Stop! You're making it worst!" Emma shouted as she pulled Regina away.
The vines let go of its grip a bit, but still not enough, I was in a very uncomfortable position. And could bearly breathe, I felt like I was going to lose consciousness. I could care less when it came to dying, but I couldnt die on Henry and everyone now, they wasted their time to save me, when they could damn well have save Henry.
"I'm sorry." I said as I looked at the ground, while trying to hold in my tears. "Sorry? Sorry for what klara?" Emma asked confused. "For klara to get free she has to say what her biggest burden is, what's keeping her stuck to that tree." Pan answered in my place.
I can feel everyone's eyes shift to me. "What did you do!?" I heard Regina's voice turn deeper. I choked on my own words as regina impatiently ran up to me, chocking me with one of her hands. I try to gasp for air, when once again I got saved by emma, snow and charming. "Let her talk!" Snow growls at Regina.
Before we waisted any more time I barged out: "I helped pan distract you!!!" I cried out. "I'm sorry! If I wouldn't have done that, Henry would have been in more danger." I sobbed through tears. I was scared of what everyone was going to think of me, that I didn't dare to look up.
"Are you telling me that, that little tantrum you pulled off was to distract us of our plan! Of us saving Henry!!!!" I never heard Regina's scream like this before, so naturally I winced at her loud, deep, angry voice. She sounded like she could kill me with only her harsh words.
Hook and charming held her back, so she wouldn't end me right there on the spot. "That isn't the only thing?" Snow spoke up, and i looked up at her as the rest stopped what they were doing. "There's more." She said simply as I thought deeply what it could be, but all I could think of in the moment was... I looked in pans direction as I spoke with all the hatred in me: "I regret ever meeting you."
My whole body shook from the anger I felt, as the vines let go of my body, my legs became weak and I fell to the ground. It seemed that my legs feel asleep or were numb from the pressure I was put on by the vines earlier or it must have been from standing still upwards for the whole day. Then all of a sudden I felt lightheaded and passed out.
Peter pans POV.:
"I regret ever meeting you." Klara said with all the anger through her gritted teeth. My heart sank, it hurt me deeply. 'I've fallen for a girl that hates my guts.' I thought to myself as I tried to act normal.
Klara was let go by the vines, so it meant that whatever she said was true, my heart stopped for a moment. Until a saw klara collapse to the floor, her body limp from the pressure of the vines, she passed out.
I watched as hook went to pick her up. I wanted to shout at him to not touch her, but I couldnt possibly let them know how I felt about her.
I was jealous, furious! I watched as hook walked away with klara in his hands, while the rest followed. "I hope you're proud of what you've done." Snow said to me before rejoining the group. I stood there in silence, feeling full of... REGRET.

Once Upon A Time Masterlist
part one
AU peter is Rumplstilskin’s son.
AU some true loves and soulmates have soulmarks but not all
warning: weapons, AU, fighting, abandonment, mentions of abuse and neglect and orphans
this is part two but it can be read separate to the first part.
I stood in between Regina and Peter, the Charmings on the other side of Peter, behind us was Felix, Devin, Granny, Zelena and the dwarfs and in front of us stood King Arthur and his Wife, the two of them surveying us.
“guess I can visiting Camelot off my bucket list” Devin leaned forwards to whisper, causing me to try and hide my laughter.
if there was one thing I couldn’t do, it was stay serious in front of royalty. and the lost boys liked to take advantage of that, turning it into a competition on who could get me to break first.
apparently I wasn’t successful in hiding my laughter when everyone turned to me, the Queen gasping at the sight of me.
“it can not be!” she said and I looked at the boys.
“what can’t be?” I asked quietly and the three of them shrugged.
“you are exactly like our daughter would be” she answered and I raised an eyebrow.
“would be?” David asked.
“she went missing over seventeen years ago. gone in the middle of the night” the Queen said as King Arthur kept staring at me.
“may I ask. what’s your name?” he finally asked and I glanced at Peter.
“(y/n) (l/n)” I answered as Queen Guinevere smiled sadly.
“what a lovely name” she said quietly.
“thank you?” I questioned.
There were many differences between myself and the royal couple, for instances the colours we wore.
I was dressed in knee high combat boots, black jeans and a dark royal blue button up, similar colours to what Regina wore, especially considering I thought of her as a mother figure to me, just as she thought of me as a daughter.
Queen Guinevere and King Arthur were dressed in red and silver.
they were royalty and I was not.
“if you don’t mind me asking what was your daughter’s name?” Mary-Margret stepped in to ask.
“and what happened?” Regina added.
“(y/n). it was engraved on a silver bracelet she wore.” Queen Guinevere said and my eyes widened.
surely not.
Peter grabbed my hand, entwining our fingers as Devin and Felix took a step closer.
“she was taken in the middle of the night a year after she was born. we searched for her but when we found even a clue she was taken through a portal. we haven’t seen or heard from her since” King Arthur explained as we all shared a look, from Grumpy to Emma, from Belle to Regina.
“I’m sorry that must have been… horrific” I stumbled over my words.
“we now hope she’s safe and loved.” King Arthur smiled at me and Mary-Margret looked between the two of us.
“did she have a soulmark?” she finally asked.
“yes. words and a design” the Queen answered.
“(y/n)…” Mary-Margret murmured but everyone heard it.
“do you know something?” Queen Guinevere asked sharply and i sighed, pulling my sleeve up as I let go of Peter’s hand.
“uh.. was this it?” I asked, showing them my soulmark and bracelet.
the room was silent as they examined my arm, looking at each detail as I stood nervously.
I had never actually tried to look for my parents. I had seen some pretty horrible things on the street and so I didn’t want to find them, especially when I thought they had tattooed the words and design on my arm.
Queen Guinevere was the first to break the silence, by starting to cry and pulling me into a hug.
it was sudden and it made me stumble into her grasp as she hugged me fiercely.
“it’s you!” she gasped and I didn’t comment.
King Arthur took a step back as the queen let go of me, letting me step back next to Peter, immediately entwining our fingers as Felix gave me a look, silently asking if I was alright.
I wasn’t sure.
“the people of Camelot, not only have we received visitors! our daughter, princess (y/n) has been returned to us!” the King made an announcement that had me shocked.
“princess?!” I exclaimed with a frown, looking at Regina and Emma.
what the hell?
“you must tell us how have you been? what’s happened to you?” Queen Guinevere asked, stepping in front of me as I tried to think.
“uh… I was on my own until I was twelve when I met Emma and she took me under her wing and not long after I met the everyone who came over.” I answered hesitantly.
“and?” she pressed.
“uh. there were a couple of curses involved, but I found I have magic?” I continued.
“magic? ah! you truly are our little miracle.” King Arthur chuckled.
“our kingdom’s blessing” Queen Guinevere smiled at me.
“I’m sorry to interrupt this reasoning but we’ve had a long trip, is there any where we can all freshen up?” David stepped in, glancing at me as Peter pulled me back slightly, knowing I was overwhelmed.
“ah yes! you must!” King Arthur seemed startled but he led us up the steps and to the visitors chambers, leaving us with promises of returning to check on us.
once he was out of sight I surged forwards, hugging David quickly.
“thank you” I muttered when I pulled away.
“this royalty thing can be overwhelming and you looked a few seconds from exploding” he chuckled and I smiled.
“You guys are the only family I’ve ever had and even then I only really think of Regina like a mother, sorry robin” i paused as he chuckled.
“it’s alright.” he said and Regina smiled.
“and the fact that after so many years thinking my birth parents had tattooed this onto me and then to find out three years ago that they actually didn’t and now that they actually wanted me but I was kidnapped it’s a bit stressful” I gestured to my arm before Regina and the boys smiled at me.
“well the king did say he’d be back so we should freshen up like we said we would” Mary-Margret cut in and I nodded.
“she’s gonna freak out” I heard Devin mutter to Felix as I narrowed my eyes.
“I’m not gonna freak out” I replied and everyone chuckled.
he was right.
ten minutes later, I was pacing in one room with Peter, Felix and Devin sitting as they watched me panic.
“I thought I was an orphan! turns out hey I’m the long lost princess of Camelot! with bloody magic!!” I exclaimed and Peter chuckled.
“you’ve been around the captain to much” he joked, trying to lift the atmosphere.
it didn’t work.
“(y/n), calm down” Regina’s voice came from the door as I turned to her.
“how can I calm down Regina? I’m scared. I can handle finding out my big sister is the daughter of two cursed fairy tale characters. I can handle dark curses, sleeping curses, dragons, trolls, lost boys, pirates, crooked royalty, I can handle soulmates! but I can’t handle parents!” I practically shrieked.
Regina sighed, opening her arms and pulled me into a hug, letting me cry.
minutes past as I started to stop crying and I pulled back slightly.
“we can figure out what to do later. for now we need to get you ready for the ball” she smiled softly at me and I giggled slightly through the tears.
I pulled back till I was standing on my own, standing a short distance from the others in the room so they didn’t get caught up in my magic.
I clicked my fingers and a soft grey smoke with streaks of blue, green, purple and white invaded my senses, enveloping me in a hug as I lifted my arms, the magic changing my outfit for me.
when the smoke disappeared, I was left in a dark blue dress, an Enchanted forest style dress as I didn’t think a land without magic dress would pass at a Camelot ball.
“better?” I asked and they all nodded with a smile.
Peter stood up, walking over to me, putting his hands on my waist and leaning in, kissing me.
“you look magnificent love” he said when he pulled back and I smiled.
when I looked around Regina had left and Henry had entered with Belle.
“hi guys” I waved and Henry laughed.
“princess now” he joked and I rolled my eyes playfully.
“and you’re technically a prince Henry” I laughed at the look of shock on his face.
“well you both look lovely.” Belle laughed as I hugged her.
“are you boys staying behind or are you going to the ball?” she asked Peter, Devin, and Felix who sighed.
“I’ll go.” Felix looked almost like he’d rather do anything else but even he knew if he stayed he’d have to help look after baby Neal.
it was hilarious how fast a lost boy can ran when told he may have to look after a baby.
“Why not?” Devin shrugged and Peter just smirked, clicking his fingers and changing him and the boys into appropriate clothing for a ball.
“milady” he held his arm out to me and I playfully rolled my eyes.
this was going to be interesting.
only an hour or so later I stood behind Regina, ready for our names to be called.
they thought Regina was the saviour so she was announced as such when she was called.
“INTRODUCING THE LONG LOST PRINCESS, PRINCESS (Y/N)!” they called for me and I took a deep breath in.
I began my decent down the steps, making eye contact with Peter as he stood waiting for me.
I smiled at him, the sight of him helping ease my nerves.
it had been three years since we’d met, him kidnapping Henry and I went with the heroes to save him, not actually knowing what the exact meaning of the markings on my arm.
or the extent of my powers.
and since then Peter and I had gotten to know each other, coming to know each other like the back of our hands, fighting in sync. it had taken a mixture of Regina and Peter to teach me magic.
he could tell when I was scared and I could tell when he was getting angry. and it came as a bonus that the lost boys came to care for me like a sister.
I reached the bottom of the stairs, Peter stood in front of me, holding his hand out for me to take.
I smiled as I took it, ignoring the looks of the people from Camelot.
the music began to play as Peter wander off to talk to Henry or Felix and I stood talking with Devin and a knight of the round table, Sir Galahad.
“so you’ve been to Neverland?” Sir Galahad asked and I nodded.
“Yep. there’s a lot of mermaids. and not friendly mermaids” I answered before I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I spun around only to come face to face with Peter, who was bowing with a dark (f/c) rose in his hand.
“care to dance… princess?” he teased and I chuckled.
“why of course peter” I answered and he placed the rose in my hair before we walked over to the dance floor, leaving Devin to talk to Sir Galahad.
we began to dance, exchanging conversation and laughing, not noticing how are friends and family looked at us with amusement and how the people of Camelot looked on with smiles, including my biological parents.
“how are you feeling princess?” he asked and I smiled.
“better. I didn’t expect the whole finding my parents thing. I never went looking for them and then I find out that they actually wanted me it’s a big shock on my part” I explained and he nodded.
“well we’ll always be by your side love” he said and that was the last thing we got to hear before there was a commotion and David was fighting one of the knights of the round table, beside Robin who fell to the ground, wounded.
another man charged at David as he had his back to the new fighter but Peter let go of my hand, summoning a sword to his hand as he blocked the attack.
“careful David!” he exclaimed and Felix stepped beside me, Devin on his other side.
“think he’ll need our help?” Devin asked and I shook my head.
“not unless there’s another assailant” Felix answered.
suddenly as we’re watching Peter’s lost his sword and is on his stomach, trying to reach it.
“and she’s going in” Felix muttered as I stepped forwards with a sword in my hand.
“sorry to step on your moment” I said with a smirk as I blocked his attempt to kill my boyfriend.
“stay out of this princess” the knight said and I narrowed my eyes at him.
“you’ve threatened my love and my family.” I answered, exchanging blows with him as Peter grabbed his sword and jumped to his feet.
“thanks for the save lost girl” he smirked at me.
“anytime pan” I replied as we began to fight the knight, turning the knight in circles as he tried to defend on both swords.
it was only moments before the knight was on his knees and I had his sword in my hand.
“Felix catch!” I exclaimed, throwing him the knight’s sword, watching as the lost boy caught it and the people of Camelot gasped.
“not too bad princess” Peter smirked at me and I jokingly rolled my eyes at him.
“I gotta be good, don’t I?” I answered before Devin spoke up.
“now that you’ve got him what do you do with him?” he asked and I looked to Mary-Margret.
“i shall take him” King Arthur answered, walking forwards with Queen Guinevere who rushed to my side, checking me for injuries as I sent my sword back to my room.
“when did you learn to fight like that?” she finally asked and I shrugged.
“he shall be punished for trying to kill the saviour, the lost princess and their friends” I heard the King say as the boys stepped beside me.
“I’ve picked up a few things here and there” I answered.
the queen pulled me into a hug and I hesitated before hugging her back, accepting it.
I may not know what to do but I can try.
when we pulled back Felix looked at me with a smirk.
“you just fought a knight of the round table from Camelot, in a ball gown. how do you feel?” he asked and I chuckled.
“a bit different then to fighting in jeans and button up shirt” I answered before I noticed the Queen’s confused look.
“uh, Queen Guinevere, mother, this is Felix, Devin and Peter, Peter is my soulmate” I pointed at them and her eyes widened.
“what did you mean by fighting in jeans and a button up shirt?” she asked and I smiled.
“that’s not the first time I’ve fought someone trying to kill me and my friends. usually I’m dressed in similar clothes to what I arrived in since I lived in the land without magic. but that was the first time I fought in a ball gown.” i explained and she looked worried.
“do you regularly fight?” she questioned and I nodded.
“I’d rather fight to keep my friends by my side then to see them injured.” I answer and she took a deep breath in.
“you remind me of your father and I. we were very similar at your age” she admitted before pulling me into a hug.
“keep her safe” she said to the boys behind me who nodded as I hugged her back.
“thank you. mother” I whispered.
it was peaceful between us for a little as I stayed hugging my birth mother until Henry came running over.
“we needs your help.” he said and I pulled away from Guinevere.
“sorry, I’ve got to go help. I’ll see you later” I smiled, quickly hugging her before Peter grabbed my hand, taking off running.
finding my biological parents was not on the list of things I expected to happen today.
but I’m glad it happened anyways.
