~Neverland~

I sit on a nearby rock and watch as everyone finishes setting up our camp. Everyone is quiet, thinking silently to themselves. Aren't we just a great bunch. Working together to save Henry...no problem, I think sarcastically as I watch Regina send a glare Snow White's way when she's not looking. Emma finishes making a little "bed" for herself then comes and sits next to the fire that Hook has just started.

"Don't you think it's a little dangerous to have a fire? What if Pan sees it? He'll know our location." Regina says in her annoying accusing voice.

"Ah love, you don't need to worry about that. I'm sure he already knows our location," Hook replies sitting down next to Emma and giving her a cheeky smile. She returns a with a frown, "That's impossible. We just got on the island. He couldn't have already figured that out." Hook shakes his head and pulls out his bottle of rum, "Pan knows everything that happens on this island. When someone arrives, where they are, and when they attempt to leave." He takes a quick drink from it then offers some to Emma. She pulls a face and shakes her head.

"Hey, quite offering her that!" Charming says angrily, rising from his rock he was sitting on. Hook doesn't even glance his way before replying, "Just being friendly."

"Well stop it," Charming starts towards him and Emma stands up, "Hey David. Calm down. We need to work together to find Henry. We can't have you two fighting. Ok?" Regina opens her mouth to say something when there is sudden rustling sound. Everyone freezes.

"What was that?" I ask, speaking for the first time since we got off the ship. Everyone looks at Hook. He stands slowly and begins to scan the area, "It could be anything. An animal, a lost boy, heck, it could be the little devil himself, coming to see who his visitors are." Emma picks up a sword that Hook had given her, and motions to everyone to do the same. All I have is a dagger, but I pick it up, not wanting to be weaponless.

"Spread out. David and Mary-Margaret, you go that way. Regina, you go that way. Hook and I will go this way," Emma orders, then turns and points her finger at me, "Jane, you stay here."

"What?!" I cry out jumping to my feet. "There is something out there and you want me to stay here?"

"You need to be kept safe," Snow White says softly putting a hand on my shoulder. I roll my eyes and shrug it off, "What if whatever is out there comes to the camp once you leave? What if this is Pan's plan? To get you all away from the camp so he can kidnap me or something?!" Hook points a finger at me, "She's got a point Emma."

"Pan doesn't even know she exists. Come guys lets go," Emma turns her back to me and everyone begins to leave. Hook gives me a shrug before following Emma.

"I hope I'm still when you get back!" I call after them as they all begin to split up. Charming and Snow merely smile at me before heading out where Emma had pointed.

Throwing my dagger into the ground, I sit on my rock and wait. Just as I am about to entertain myself by poking the fire with a stick, there is a rustling sound close by. I freeze and slowly look around. I can't see anything, but that doesn't comfort me in the slightest. I reach down and grab the dagger, then slowly stand up. There is another rustling sound to my left.

Jumping to my feet, I feet move as silently as I can towards where the noise was from. I reach the edge of our little camp and see nothing. I move a big leaf out of the way, and still see nothing.

"Your not going to find anything that way," a voice says calmly behind me. I whip around and point my dagger at the direction of the voice. There is a boy, about 16 or 17, standing next to the campfire. He has short brown hair, wears a strange brown and green outfit, and has eyes that seem to laugh at me, with a small devilish smile, playing at the corners of his lips.

"Your not going to need that either," he says nodding his head towards the dagger gripped tightly in my hand. I hold it up higher and step forward. "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I told you. You don't need that dagger, but if it makes you feel more comfortable, I suppose you can hold it up. I just came to see who was visiting my little island." The boy looks around the camp, "By the looks of things, I'm going to assume you didn't come here alone."

I let out a small laugh, "As if you didn't already know." He turns to me and raises an eyebrow, "How would I know?" His eyes stare at me mockingly, as if he is daring me to say it. I shrug my shoulders, trying to act nonchalant, but I my shaking hand gives it away. He smiles. "Oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself didn't I. I'm Peter. Peter Pan." The blood drains from my face as I hear the name. Of course I thought it was him, but hearing him confirm it makes it true, and I was hoping it wasn't.

"You're Peter Pan?" I say, trying to sound unimpressed. He gives me a bigger smile and spreads his arms out, "The one and only." He suddenly disappears. Just like that. Shocked, I lower the dagger a little bit. He suddenly reappears right behind me and whispers, "Now, I told you my name, so it's only fair you tell me yours." I stiffen at the sound of his voice so close behind me. Now what? I franticly try to think of something, anything.

"Jane," I say and immediately jerk my elbow back at his face. He catches it easily and in one fluid motion he has me pinned against a nearby tree. "You got fire Jane. I like fire. I have to admit that when I came to this camp, I wasn't expecting to see you. You aren't part of Henry's family. So what are you doing here?"

"I'm Henry's friend," I snap and try to break free, but he holds me against the tree. He lets out a small laugh that chills me to the bone. He leans forward, so that our noses are almost touching then says, "Well, friend of Henry's, I need to go. Your companions should be back soon, but I must warn you. Be careful. There are dangerous things on this island." Then, he releases me and disappears. A few seconds later I can hear Emma and Hook's voices heading towards the camp.
