Pan smiled as he walked through the woods to an open spot lined with cages. He looked into one of the cages and smiled at the boy that was slumped in it. "Well John how do you like your new home," Pan chuckled.
"It's great," John said sarcastically, "I can't wait till Azrael gets her hands on you."
"Neither can I," Pan said with a mischievous smile, "But I hate to break it to you but your bait and she is meant to find you."
John jumped up and tried to grab Pan through the bars, "I'll kill you if you hurt her."
Pan laughed, "Your never leaving this cage anytime soon."
John spat at Pan as he walked away back to the camp. "Oh and one more thing," Pan said, " This game won't end well for you."
"And what game is this?" John asked.
"I like to call it life or death," Pan said as he disappeared.
Azrael felt herself falling in a dark endless tunnel. Everything you love you will lose Rumple's voice echoed in her head. Azrael jolted awake and found herself laying in a tangle of roots staring up at Bae. "You okay?" Bae asked helping her up.
"Um yeah," Azrael said shaking her head, "Just a bad dream."
Bae castes her a wary look but dropped the subject. "So how long have you been on the island?" Bae asked handing her more berries.
"I'm not sure," Azrael said popping a berry into her mouth, "about three days I think. What about you?"
"I'm not sure anymore really I've been here so long," Bae said looking at the ground, his brown eyes cloudy with grief.
Azrael looked at him as sorrow filled her heart. "I just wish I could find a way out of this place," Bae muttered.
"Maybe we'll find a way to get out of here," Azrael said smiling.
"But Pan sees all and knows all that happens in Neverland how..." Bae said his voice trailing off.
"Well not with that attitude you're not," Azrael teased.
Bae laughed then a look of surprise filled his face. Azrael looked at him with confustion, "What?"
"Its just that it's been a long time sense I laughed," Bae said.
Azrael laughed feeling the dream fade away. Suddenly Azrael felt a jolt of pain climbing up from her leg, letting out a startled cry she fell to the ground.
"Azrael!" Bae said running over to support her.
"Get. Me. To. The. Spring," Azrael gasped.
Bae lead her over to the spring and Azrael plunged straight to the bottom of the spring. Azrael felt her breathing get easier as she floated down. Tiny fish swam by as she reached the bottom. Now Azrael that wasn't very smart an ancient voice said filling her mind. You know your limits even though you can't die you can be become weak and powerless.
"I'm not powerless," Azrael grumbled.
Than what are you? You couldn't even stand without taking energy from the water it taunted.
Azrael pushed up and broke through the surface of the water in seconds the voice fading from her head. "Are you okay you were down there a long time I thought that you weren't coming back up," Bae said rushing over with concern filling his eyes.
"I'm fine," Azrael said, "I technically can breath underwater."
"That would have been nice to know," Bae muttered.
"Um sorry," Azrael said smiling.
"Come on I'll show you that berry patch," Bae said the anger fading from his eyes.
"Alright," Azrael said slinging the bow over her shoulder.
Bae lead Azrael deeper into the jungle as the sun creep slowly through the sky. Soon Azrael could make out a small patch filled with ripe berry bushes. Bae knelled down and began picking the berries while Azrael stringed an arrow onto her bow keeping an eye out for any lost boys or worst Pan. "Alright this should last us a day or two," Bae said standing up.
"Good let's get out of here," Azrael said.
"Don't move," A women's voice said from the shadows.
"Who's going to stop me," Azrael said.
"Me," she said leaping out of the shadows and grabbing Bae and pressed a dagger to his neck. "Now unless you want him to die you're not going to move."
"Well when you put it like that," Azrael said flicking her wrist.
The blade in the blonde woman's hand turned to water and Bae struggled out of her grip. "Run," Azrael said running through the trees.
Bae and Azrael ran till they broke through the trees and landed on the beach. "Who was that?" Bae asked.
"I have no idea," Azrael confessed.
"Well why don't you ask her," the woman said coming out of the jungle's canopy.
"Alright who are you and why do you want to kill us," Azreal said crossing her arms.
"Name is Tinkerbell and I thought you were with Pan," Tinkerbell said.
"Hate to break it to you but we aren't," Azrael growled.
"Well why don't we help each other," Bae suggested.
"Um," Azrael said raising her eyebrow at Bae.
Bae shrugged as Tink thought about it. "Well I dont see any reason why not," Tink said.
"Good come on Azrael we should get back to our place," Bae said smiling.
"Boys," Azrael muttered as she followed Bae into the jungle.
