Pan stood on the bluff over looking parts of Neverland. He could clearly see the Saviour's camp set up. They were getting too close and he needed more time.

"Felix!" Pan shouted. "Retrieve me the powders."

The lost boy nodded and disappeared into their camp before returning shortly after and handing Pan a box.

"What are you doing with these? You haven't asked for them since we got Wendy."

"You see their camp there?" He said yes before Pan continued. "They're getting closer. And a simple spell won't suffice now." A wide smile came onto his face is he held up one of the leather pouches.

Felix could tell that he wasn't using his basic tricks. No, this was something more. "Which spell are you using, Pan? That doesn't smell like a sleeping curse."

"No, my lost boy. This here is something much better. It's almost like a revealing curse. I shall cast it upon the two of them I'm worried about most," he said nodding to Hook and Emma.

"The savior and Hook? Why not the Queen?"

Pan nodded to him. "It shall have them reveal what they feel deepest and act upon it. Should give us a few days." If we're lucky, he thought. "As for the Queen, they deter her too much. They aren't letting her use her magic and that's the only thing she relies on."

He opened the pouch and poured the orange sand over the edge of the cliff. From there it formed a line and swirled in the night. Going directly to the two sleeping targets and let their bodies absorb it.

Peter smiled as the spell started to set.

"And my work here is done. How about a rousing game of 'Find the Wench'?"

The two walked back to the camp, leaving the charming team to sleep.


As the day came about, not that you could tell in Neverland, the group of heroes started to awaken.

Hook was the first one up, his body already slipping back into the times of Neverland. Something he'd wish to never happen again.

While Snow, Charming, Regina, and Tink were rousing from their slumber, he turned his eyes to Emma. Still asleep, with her face ridden of the hard lines they developed after her life.

Any person would have to be blind to not her beauty. Her blonde hair and fair skin brought out the green of her eyes. But what he noticed wasn't just her physical traits, but her individual ones as well.

From the first moment of meeting the Savior, Hook was drawn to her. Of course, the fierceness and confidence were some of her best qualities. And the fact she had bested him didn't hurt either. But he also could see the longing in her eyes whenever she looked toward her parents. He knew the look well. Hell, he could have patented it.

He had only gotten bits and pieces from her life and from what he could tell, it wasn't an easy one. But being abandoned never is. And had been more than he'd like.

When he noticed Emma was starting to stir, he turned to look around at his camp mates.

His eyes stayed on Charming as he noticed the prince struggling to sit up and, while they weren't exactly, mates, the pirate hated to see him in such a way.

Hook heard the heroic stories of Prince Charming and Snow White. While he's never acted out as such, he was impressed by them. They fought for who they loved and what was right. Their tenacity was something to be admired.

Dreamshade was something most never came back from; and then there was also that voice in the back of his head telling him that he didn't want to see Emma anymore hurt.

He snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the Savior waking up. Her face fell as she became more awake; he could only think that her dreams were far nicer than the nightmare she awoke too.

"So, what's our next plan of attack?" Tink asked.

The group sat around staring at each other, hoping someone was going to jump in with an answer.

"There's no plan is there?" The fairy concluded.

"Well, we were going to-"

Hook interrupted Charming before he could finish, "No, we don't have a exact plan yet. We know where his camp is though. And I suggest we all get in food in our systems before he conduct our raid."

"That's actually a good a idea, surprisingly." Snow said stunned.

"Hook and I can look for food. Why not Mary Margaret and Regina get some firewood?" Emma said to the group.

"Hey, since when do you-" Regina quieted when she heard twigs snapping behind her.

Hook and Emma took out their swords, giving each other a quick nod to ensure they were ready. While Charming was moving Tink and Snow out of the way.

Rumple emerged from the clearing and into their views. But knowing the Dark One, nobody lowered their weapons.

"Ah, nice to all you again," he sneered.

"How do we know you're really Gold? Hook said Pan has all kinds of tricks up his sleeves," Emma questioned.

"If he wanted your trust, why would he come to you as me?" Rumple asked smugly.

Hook looked to Charming and Emma to see if they believed him as well. They all nodded in agreement and put away their swords.

"Fair point," said Charming.

"Why'd you choose to come back to us? Why now?" The Evil Queen questioned. "Pan scare you?"

Rumplestilskin's face contorted, "And why would I come looking for you after I had left?" He looked around to their group when no one had responses. "I'm looking for Bae, he's on the island."

"Neal?" Emma's face paled at the mere mention of his name. "Neal's dead, I saw him die."

"Wrong, you saw him injured." Gold replied.

Emma's head shook in defiance. "People don't come back from gunshot wounds."

Hook saw the pain erupting from every pore in her body. He was aware of Baelfire's, what he thought was demise, but he had no idea Emma had witnessed it. He had to dig his feet into the dirt beneath him to stop himself from going to her.

"Not my son," Rumple sneered. "It takes more than that to end one of us."

"Don't I know it," Hook said not so under his breath. "How do you know it was truly him? Pan could have done anything to stir you up."

Gold nearly shook from the words. "He wouldn't have used Bae's form to come after me. He has…other ways."

Hook's eyebrows furrowed at the comment but knew not to take it any further.

"And since you all know nothing, I shall be on my way again." Rumple turned back around on the group leaving their clearing.

"Wait! Aren't you going to help us?" Snow asked him.

"Trust me, dearie. I'd be doing nothing more than put you all in more danger," he replied falling out of their sights.

"Okay, because that wasn't ominous," Emma said sarcastically.

While everyone was still reeling from the Crocadile's guest appearance, Hook looked over to Charming and his wife, who was looking worried.

"You alright there, mate?" He asked walking up to them.

"Yeah, just feeling a little sick. I think it's just because of the new vegetation," Charming lied.

Snow still looked worried, her husband had been sick before, but this was different. She figured something was going on but he'd be fine. This family wasn't going to lose anymore people.

"Why don't you stay here with Tink while Regina and I look for firewood then?" Snow asked while running a soothing hand on his hair.

"Yeah, we'll hold down the fort." Charming tried his best to look strong, but Hook and Snow knew better.

Hook glanced over to Tinkerbell who was watching the Prince with a careful eye. He could tell she knew what was happening, and that they'd both do something to help him.

Soon after, the two teams split up leaving Charming and Tink to look over the camp.
