Introducing Tom Holland (Heart of the Sea) as Tom


Across the island as the group of hero's and villain's searched tirelessly for a way to get to the boy that had brought them to Neverland. The boy Henry Mill's, sat in Pan's camp unaware of the other's presence on the island watching the Lost Boy's whooping as boy's raced up ropes into the tree tops minding his own business when one of the older boys, Devin, approaches the eleven year old, nudging him with a stick getting his attention.

"Ow" Henry complains as the tip of a spear was pointed in his face making him stand up

Devin scoffs at the boy "So, you're the boy Pan's been looking for all this time." This time he nudges Henry harder. Henry backs away.

"Ask him" Henry asks referring to Pan who was leaning against as tree casually watching the exchange. Devin attacks Henry playfully. Startled, Henry jumps out of his reach.

"Hey! Stop it!" another Lost Boy Henry knew as Tom jumped in between Henry and the older boy. Tom was always nice to Henry since he was taken to the camp. He had kept him company as the other's played around them

Pan introduced the two as soon as they got to the camp. He was one of Pan's right-hand men, after Felix. The exchange got the attention of the other lost boys as they watched the altercation.

"Come on Tom" Devin drawled out at the older boy "If he can't take this, how is he gonna handle what Pan has in store for him?"

He was right. Tom himself had been on the island for years, he remembered the day like it was yesterday when Pan's shadow took him from his orphanage near the Dark Palace in the middle of the night where he would dream of the day that his mother would find him again and take him away from the horrible owners. But the shadow took him instead, bringing him here where he could do whatever he wanted.

But that was before he saw the adults. If they could get to Neverland he could get off. As the years had flown by Pan had become harsher as he tried to search for the boy that possesses the heart of the truest believer. At one point Pan thought it was him only to be left disappointed. His disappointment only fueled his anger until only a few days ago Henry suddenly appeared.

Reluctantly he steps back allowing the play fight between Devin and Henry to continue. The younger boy picking up a stick lying on the ground looking towards Tom for some encouragement which the latter nodded at Henry encouraging him to fight Devin back.

Once ready Devin goes on the offence as he sends Henry's stick several times, each time Henry managed to defend himself and parrying the older boys attacks.

"Not bad" Pan comments on the play fighting as he pushes himself off the tree "But wouldn't it be more fun, if you had real swords?"

"I've never used a real sword" the younger boy tells him

"This is Neverland and you have the heart of the truest believer. You can use whatever you want" Pan places a hand on Henry's shoulder "You just need to believe, Henry. Close your eyes and believe you're holding a real sword" Henry closes his eyes. Opening them again he's holding a steel blade in hand "What are you waiting for? Go on" with that Henry charges Devin.

The lost boys minus Tom cheered Henry on as he swung the live steel at Devin, easily cutting through his opponents wooden stick. Pan continues to goad Henry on as the younger boy charged once again only miss the stick and slice the side of Devin's cheek drawing blood from the lost boy. Tom steps back as he saw some of the wildness behind the swing.

Henry drops his sword in shock seeing what he had done "I'm sorry. It was an accident"

"Henry. Don't you know the best thing about being a Lost Boy?" Pan says as he hands the sword back to Henry "You never apologize" Pan turns Henry to the lost boy and holds Henry's arm up in victory.

Tom couldn't join in with the cheering as worried etched his face as he saw how pleaded Henry looked with accident. He knew then he had to get away from Pan once and for all. And he knew who to go to.


With a new sense of understanding between the Assassin and the Savior, the pair re-joined the others in Neal's hideout, they continued to search for anything they had missed. Mary Margaret looked to the most relieved seeing her daughter return with the redhead trailing behind her after failing to comfort her.

"You need a hand, luv?" the assassin heard Hook ask Emma from across the cave

"It that a joke?" Emma retorted

"Hmm. No. I'm being quite serious" he retorts as he helped the blonde shift a large pillow

"Wow" Emma exclaimed to herself gaining everyone's attention. Hearing the blonde Amelia forgot about what she was doing to follow the others to see a wall covered in tally marks.

"What is it?" David asked his daughter

"It appears Neal marked his days trapped on this island" Hook informs the others as Emma noticed something at the end of the tally

"What's wrong?" Mary Margret saw the drop in Emma's face

"Look here. Neal stopped counting" she pointed out on the wall

"'Cause he got off the island" Mary Margaret said in a hopeful tone that made Amelia roll her eye's

"He was here longer" Emma corrected her mother

"Then why would he..." David trailed off

"Because he lost hope" the blonde deduced

"You got that from scribbles?" Regina snapped at the blonde becoming frustrated with the lack of results they were getting to find Henry. The change of mood hadn't gone unnoticed by the redhead, giving the woman a sideways look.

She knew the former Queen the best out of everyone here. It would be a matter of time until she took things into her own hands and find a solution that would get her to Henry quicker

Amelia gave the former Queen a pointed look, she noticed how impatient the woman was getting with the group of hero's. it was only a matter of time until she decided to look else where for a solution to get Henry back sooner rather than later. But that route would likely get her killed or worse. She would have to run interference as long as she could.

"I got that because it's what I did every time I went to a new foster home" the blonde informed the group. The Charming's couple face dropping at Emma's admission about her life "I counted days until counting seemed pointless"

"You think the same thing's happening to Henry?" David guessed to Emma

"Pan said that it would"

"Hey. We're gonna rescue him"

"Yeah, I know that, and you know that, but Henry doesn't know that. Pan wants him to lose faith"

"You want to send him a message?" Regina asked the saviour "Because I haven't seen a Neverland post office. What are you suggesting?"

"We take a page from Pan and we start being clever" Emma tells the others "We need to send a simple sign, a sign that we're coming"

"Yeah, with lost boys running around, trying to kill us all?" Regina argued with the blonde

"Maybe it's time we used that to our advantage" Amelia spoke up getting an idea

"How?"

"Follow me. I'll show you" Amelia led the group out of the cave and back to their camp for the next phase of their plan


"A trap? That's your plan?" Regina scoffed at the Assassin as she sat with Mary Margaret, Emma and Amelia tying up vines into a net.

"The lost boys wanna come after us, we need to go after them" Amelia answered the former Queen

"You really think a lost boy is gonna betray Pan?" Hook asked the former Widow from his spot away from the women

"With the right push, anyone would do anything" Amelia quoted her old Master's word for word "You just have to find it" she tells the group darkly making the Princess and daughter pause at the red head's words.

"And who taught you that Widow?" Hook scoffed at the redhead getting her attention glancing towards Regina "Your Queen?"

"Actually no" she quickly tells him making the other's look at her "The Brotherhood did" the group went quiet at the small admission as she continues to methodically tie the vines together the way Romeo had taught her, the same way she taught Snow in the Enchanted Forest. The same why the others were doing on Neverland.

"We need more vines" Mary Margaret announced to break the slight tension "David?" she called out to her husband

"On it" he panted walking away from the working women "You're coming with me, pirate" David tells Hook

"Why is that?" Hook snapped at the Prince that made Amelia break her concentration in creating the net

"Because we need more rope" Emma answered for her father.

Hook mockingly bows at the blonde's 'orders' "If the lady insists..." he tells her before following David

After a beat Amelia put her vines down and stood up from her seat "Excuse me". Quietly the assassin followed the prince and pirate through the jungle lightly treading on the jungle floor to she listened to the pair speak privately.

"What would you like to yell at me about now, Dave?" Hook dryly appealed to the other

"Stay away from my daughter" David tell the man. The assassin had noticed how the the pair had become 'close' during their time in Neverland, it was hard not to notice sometimes, but it was really the last thing on her mind at the moment. No. It was the Prince. He was getting worse.

Hook sighed at the Princes request "Well, she can take care of herself. She doesn't need your parenting, which is a good thing"

"What does that mean?" David snapped back

"It means you're gonna die in a day or so anyway" Hook explained

"Nothing I can do about that. But if I do die..."

"When" Hook corrected the Prince

David stopped and turned on the pirate "...It'll be in helping my family, and that's something someone like you can't understand"

"What if I told you there's a way to save you?"

"I'd say no, because anything that takes us off course of saving Henry is selfish" the redhead rolled her eyes at the Prince's reasoning's suppressing a scoff "But of course you would think that was the way to go"

"Bugger off. What, you think I'm being selfish? I'm risking my life for all of you, every moment I'm here aligned against him" Hook argued heatedly

"Please. You're not here out of any nobility" David retorted "You're here for Emma. And let me tell you something else. You're never gonna get her. I'll see to that"

"It's a good thing you're gonna die then" Amelia's eyes widened in concern as David went to swing at the pirate with a closed fist only to miss completely and succumb to the dizziness that had taken over

"Mate. Mate, stop" Hook tells David he catches the latter, helping him to the ground "I don't fight invalids" once Hook got him onto the ground, he only then realized David was in serious trouble as David fall unconscious. The assassin's made her decision to make herself known to the pirate as jumps out of the jungle foliage to tend to the sickly Prince

"Bloody Hell" Hook drawled in surprise to see the redhead come from nowhere "Where the hell did you come from?"

Ignoring the pirates question she rips off one of her gloves to press her fingers against the David's throat to find a slow unsteady pulse. He was dying.

Her head snapped up to meet Hook's gaze her green eye's boring into his "Tell me how we get him better" she demands out of the pirate "Now" she growls out the last word


She waited a few steps away for Hook to wake the Prince up strong scent of rum from his silver flask by pouring the liquid under nose and mouth making the Prince to cough it back up.

"Have another drink" the pirate offered the Prince only for his offering arms to be pushed away

"No, thank you" he coughed "I'm okay now"

Hook supports David as he stands up and pull himself up on a rock wall, after a few pants David looks up to see Amelia stood in front of him with arms crossed with an unimpressed look upon her face. He was in trouble

"Amelia?" the dazed Prince asked the redhead

"I followed you and Hook, and it looks like a good thing I did" she says the to sickly man

"I thought you had days left" Hook exasperates at the man "Let me see"

"No" David refuses

"Let me see" Hook insisted.

David hesitated looked at the female presence that wasn't his wife making the redhead scoff "I used to live in a brothel, if I see anything I haven't seen already I'll throw a dollar at it" she tells the man rolling her eyes before David finally gives in with a groan lifts his shirt to show Hook and Amelia the developed poisoning of the Dream shade, closely examining the dark veins that had spread upwards towards his heart from the shallow cut the arrow head had left.

"The dream shade has almost reached your heart" Hook observed "It's hours now. You have to tell your family" he tells the man

"No" David refuses "Not when I can still help them save Henry" David tries to stand with another groan but is stopped by Amelia's hand on his chest pushing him back onto a rock to sit back down

"You need to stop overexerting yourself" she tells the man "it'll spread faster the more you move"

"I'd listen to the Widow mate" Hook chimed in "it seems she's familiar with these kinds of ailments" the Prince reluctantly give in and lies back to catch his breath

"Do you still have the medicine I gave you earlier" David nodded pointing to the pocket of his jacket indicating where he stashed it for later use. Easily finding the tonic her uncorks it before offering it back to the man like she did before the first curse struck. David readily pours it down his throat instantly feeling the pressure of his lugs lift off him as he could take in a lungful of air without pain in first time in what it seemed like days.

"May I?" she pointed to his chest who nods. Lifting his shirt back up, she and Hook watch as the black vein like pattern slowly recede back from tier deadly path towards his heart. They had a little more time now until she and Hook got him to the spring that would heal him. Not a lot, but enough.

"There" she sighs gently pulling the shirt back down over the wound "It's done something. How do you feel?" she asks the Prince

"Better" he breathes out a little easier this time "Thank you" she gives the man a gentle smile before stepping back to Hook leaving David alone to catch his breath once more. And find their 'trap'.

"I hope this works Killian" Amelia quietly tells the pirate in a low voice so that he could only hear her

"It will" Hook replies before he look behind her to see David holding something in his hand covered in dirt "What's that?" he calls out the dying man

"It's a military insignia" David observes before throwing it to Hook ""Jones." You know him?"

"Aye. He was my captain, and my brother" he tells the Prince and Assassin "We voyaged this infernal island a long time ago. This was on the strap of his satchel. My brother lost it during a duel with Pan. Oh, it must've washed down with the rains from the storm that wrecked the Jolly Roger."

"From where?"

Hook looked up making David and Amelia to look up as well "There. Deadman's Peak. I thought it was gone forever"

"What was gone?" David suddenly becomes interested

"No, it's too dangerous. No, no, no" Hook dismisses the idea walking away from the Prince, only for the latter to follow him.

"What's too dangerous?" David inquires

"If you know something that can help us" Amelia chimes in to the pirate "... Don't hold back" David nods along with the red head's train of thought

"If this insignia survived all these years, then perhaps my brother's satchel did as well. And inside that satchel is a sextant that can help us decode Neal's star map that can get us off this island" Hook explains

"I know how I'm gonna spend my last hours" David tells the pair "We're gonna find that thing"

"Well, look, you might reach the top, but you'll die before you return" Hook tells

"Then come with me and Amelia make sure the sextant gets back to Emma. You ready to be a hero?"

Hold on. When did she volunteer?


"A sextant" Emma exclaimed at the three after they told the others about their discovery in the jungle "You're telling us about this now?" she continued as she stood up discarding the vines from her lap followed by Mary Margaret and Regina.

"How do we know you're not lying?" Regina speaks up as she looks to Amelia to answer her only for Hook to jump in

"Oh, you don't" he retorts "but I'm not. It's the best hope yet we've had of an exit plan. And don't forget, we're gonna need one"

"Then what are we waiting for?" Emma replied heading out of camp only to be stopped by Hook

"Emma..." he sighs out "You were right. We need to get that message to Henry. And every day without hope is a day closer to becoming a lost boy. Your father, the Widow and I should go" he tells the blonde

"Hook's right" Amelia chimed in making the other three woman to look at her "As painful as it was to say outload. Between his past on the island and the information I've gained from my father's journals about the island, it's the best chance we have to find this sextant"

"Uh, you wanna split up?" Mary Margaret asks her husband

"It's the last thing I wanna do" David tells his wife and daughter "But... there's a chance he can get us home"

"Okay" she sighs out deeply

David turns back to the blonde "And, Emma, while I'm gone, just..."

"Listen to my mother?" Emma says making her father chuckle

"Be careful"

"Always am"

"And when you send that message to Henry, add something to it, would ya? Tell him... tell him grandpa loves him" David hugs his daughter in a tight embrace as Amelia walk back towards her tent with Regina following her away from David saying goodbye to his wife.

"Your seriously going with them, this whole thing your idea" Regina complained to the assassin referring to the vines

"I know" she sighs as she gather's her messenger bag form her tent "but there's not much point getting Henry out with a way to actually get out"

"And you're just going along with everything the pirate say's"

"With a bucket of salt, trust me" she tells the Queen before shouldering the bag and turning to the dark brunette "Snow knows the plan, just follow her lead. I was the one teach her, she's learnt from the best" she chimes in with a hint of pride in her voice

Regina paused contemplating Amelia's instruction before speaking knowing full well she couldn't talk the assassin out of the mission "Do I need to tell you to be careful?"

"No" she answered her "But I do like to hear it from you" the red head teased the older woman

"Be careful"

"Always Your Majesty" she tells the woman giving her a cheeky woman wink and smirk "And tell my little cousin I'm coming for him" she tells her quietly so the other's didn't over hear them, a small smile graced the former Queen's lips before the redhead turned to follow a weary looking David out of camp and in the jungle once again.


The plan went ahead without the assassin as Mary Margaret, Regina and Emma waited for their target to come. Hidden in plain sight they waited as a wild pig made its way into a small clearing. With an arrow tight in her bow the Princess aimed upwards as a Lost Boy wandered into the clearing holding spear.

Letting the arrow loose it the rope to the net overhead letting it land on top of the lost boy, the three women jumping out of their positions as they surrounded the panic-stricken lost boy as he fights against the netting. They waited with weapons and magic ready for the lost boy to pull the netting off him only to be met with the three women and filches back covering his face with his arms in alarm.

"Not the face!" he begs the women in fear covering his head with his arms "Not the face!"

"We're….not gonna hurt you" Emma reassures the boy. The lost boy stops and opens one of his closed eyes to and peaks around his arm to see the blonde, dark brunette, and pixie haired woman from the fight at the camp. He was a little disappointed not to see the red head that warned him not get up from the ground during the fight.

Uncovering his face, the lost boy looks up at the women surrounding him "Oh, hey. it you guys" he huffs outs in almost relief

Confusion grew on the mother's face's at the boys reaction at them "Uh? What?" the blonde asked in confusion

"You know, when you came into the camp looking for Henry and we…" the lost boy started to explain only to be interrupted

"Yeah, we know" Emma tells him "But why are you so...happy to see us?"

"Because...I've been following you" he almost squeaks. The mothers suddenly became tense again holding their weapons up "No,no,no, you don't understand" the lost boy tells them holding up his hand in surrender "Pan doesn't even know what I'm doing"

"Then why were you following us?" Mary Margaret asks him

"Because. Because" he stuttered feeling suddenly nervous around the mother's

"Oh, spit it out already" Regina snaps at him impatiently

"Regina!" Mary Margaret scolded her former stepmother at her tone

"Because I want to leave okay!" he yelled at them scrambling to his feet "I just want to leave"

"Okay" Emma calmed him down "We can do that, we can take you home, but we need you to something for us first"

"How do I know I can trust you?"

"Because we can help- not just Henry, all of you" Emma insisted

The boy shook his head in denial "Don't you get it? No one wants to go home. I didn't before you guys came but after what Henry did to Devin. I don't want to go back to the camp"

"W-What Henry did? Pan's the monster"

"No, it was Henry" he tells the women


"How are you holding up, mate?" Amelia heard Hook ask David behind her as they trekked through the jungle once again towards the 'sextant' that Hook was taking them to.

"Don't worry about me" David panted out clutching his wound with one hand and keeping himself up by clutching onto the thin trunks of trees that surrounded them in a swamp like part of the island "Just worry about getting us to the sextant"

"I think he meant the good-byes" Amelia tells the Prince slowing down

"Looked a bit stormy back there" Hook commented

"I did what had to be done, and I did it out of love" the dying man tells the pair "Emma and Mary Margaret will understand that"

"You gonna tell them that from beyond the grave?" Amelia drawls out

"No. You two are" David tells them "You gonna tell them that I died a hero, fighting for their way home. What you're not gonna tell them is that I left already a dead man"

"The truth, you mean" Hook interjects

"Their last memories of me won't be of a liar" David tells the pair as he continued to walk past the pirate and assassin

"Why should I help you?" Hook questioned the Prince

David chuckled at the man's question before stopping and turning on the pirate "Well, because if you didn't steal that bean, they wouldn't have had a chance to take Henry, we wouldn't be on this island, and I wouldn't be dying of dream shade"

"Fair point" Hook adds "At least you got to say good-bye. Most people don't get that much" Hook tells the man overtaking him. David stops to think over Hook's words as the pirate and assassin walk ahead

"You lost someone, didn't you?" David asked Hook

"This is where we ascend" Hook changes the subject as the reached a cliff face "I'll climb ahead and throw down the rope" Amelia nodded at the pirate in understanding as David continued with his line of questioning

"He was your brother, right? I had a brother, too, you know. A twin. He died before I ever met him"

"There were two of you? I can barely stomach one" Hook comments

"Ditto on the pirate" the red head drawled thinking back to the real Prince James, just the mere thought of the man made her stomach churn in disgust to what he did to her.

"Ah, you both would've liked him. He was a thief and a liar and a killer" he lists off

"Yeah, you would've liked my brother. He could be a stubborn ass" Hook tells the Prince "Now wait here" he tells the pair as he starts his climb up to the peak.


While Hook climbed the cliff, Amelia was left with David at the bottom waiting in silence until the redhead's curiosity got the better of her "You didn't ask me" she tells him make him look her way

"Ask you what?" he panted out in confusion

"You didn't ask me if I'd lost anyone" she clarifies for the Prince

"You mean anyone you didn't kill" he scoffs out

"Aren't you the least bit curious? After all these years of being on opposite sides, you've never wanted to know what drove me to become the Black Widow?"

"Okay, I'll bite, who did you lose?" he asks with a mocking smile

"My husband" she tells him. His smile dropped at her answer as he could see that she was telling the truth "And my son. It was before I worked for the Queen, after I ran from the Brotherhood. They attacked our ship in the middle of the night and boarded us. While our crew were killed in cold blood, they took my husband and shot him in stomach before kicking him into the water" she recounted the night to the prince "They took our three-year-old away from me kicking and screaming. I watched from the shoreline as my home for the last four years sunk into the water"

"Lia-" he sighed out in guilt "I-I'm sorry"

"Laugh all you want about Hook and I, but we currently hold your life in our hands, if keep going like you have been, it won't be the dream shade that'll kill you in the end" getting impatient with the pirate Amelia leaves David behind and starts climbing up herself, huffing in frustration David follows her up the cliff.

Unbeknownst to the pirate on the top as he conversed with Pan the pair heard Pan's deal to the pirate as they climbed nearer to the top even without her special ability to hear. With his flask in hand Amelia suddenly appeared at the top of the cliff closely followed by David "Bloody hell. I told you to wait with the Prince" he chastises the redhead

"He was annoying me" she huffed holding out a hand to the Prince to help him up, which he gratefully takes

"Were you talking to someone?" David asks the pirate

"Just talking to myself. It's an old habit from many nights on the lonely seas" Hook tells the pair

David looked down at the hand that Hook is holding his flask in "Well, I'm glad you're enjoying the refreshments while you do it"

"Apologies, mate. It isn't much farther now" he tells them as they continued ahead of the pirate


"It's too late, I'm sorry" the lost boy tells the women "Henry's a lost boy now"

"No, don't say that, it's not true" Emma tells the boy lowly

"It is, that's why I-I wanted to find you guys"

"No!" Emma protested as she lunged for the boy, grabbing him by his neck and pushing him against as tree, his eye widened in fear as the blonde started to squeeze his throat only for Mary Margaret to pull her daughter off the now scared lost boy.

"Don't let him get to you. Okay?" Mary Margaret tried to calm her daughter down in lowered voice

"Move aside" Regina suddenly tells the pair stepping forward only for the Princess to block her

"Why?"

"So, I can rip his heart out" Tom hears Regina say "Then he'll do exactly what we want" Tom saw the smirk Regina sent him as he felt a pang of panic in his chest

"No please! You don't need to do that! I want to help!" The lost boy tried to tell the women "I'm sorry about what I said about Henry. I was only telling you the truth!" he tries to plead to them not to take out his heart. He had seen it happen to other's while he grew up. It wasn't easy to watch let alone by the one on the receiving end.

"This is not how we do things!" Mary Margaret joins to protest "Just listen to him he's scared of us, how can he trust us to get him home if we do this" she argues before looking at Emma "Emma, we can find another way to get to Henry" she pleaded to the blonde

"Really? And what do you think, Emma?" Regina challenges the blonde ignoring Mary Margaret's protests. They could still hear Tom pleading from the tree as he looks to the pixie haired woman as his only hope of not having his heart ripped out of his chest.

"I think we need to talk to our son" Emma concludes

"We can't do this! That is brutal" Mary Margaret loudly protests as Tom watches in stunned silence as the blonde pushes the pixie haired woman aside

"I know, but she can" Emma says looking at Regina

"Emma!"

"Do it, Regina" Tom couldn't move as he froze in fear as the woman Regina pulled up the sleeve of her jacket as she approached him as Emma fought held her mother back. He wanted to run so badly but he just couldn't move

"Please don't do this, please!" Tom begged shaking his head at the Queen with tear-filled eyes holding her mother "I just wanna go home" she ignores his plea as Regina plunges her hand into his chest. Groaning in pain the boy only a few years older than Henry had his heart ripped from his chest.


"Mary Margaret, I'm sorry" Emma was the first one to speak up as Mary Margaret refused to look at her daughter who had let Regina take the lost boys heart when he was so willing to help them.

"You don't have to apologize to me" Mary Margaret replied "It's Henry I'm worried about"

"I know. That's why I'm willing to let Regina do whatever it takes"

"When we finally get to him, I just wanna make sure the line is still there"

"What line?" Emma asks as Regina encourages the boy to step forward, with tear-stained cheeks.

"Between what Regina is willing to do and what you are" her mother tells her "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get him home"

"But the cost can't be this family"

"It won't be"

"Lia wouldn't stand for this" her mother suddenly tells her daughter knowing the redhead had some sort of sway with her that she didn't. Hearing heroes nickname for the assassin the former Queen's interest peaked as she held the boys heart in her hand "We both know for a fact that even in her darkest days' she would not put an innocent boy in harms way"

"Well she's not here, is she?" Emma shrugged her shoulder's turning her back on her mother to address

"Second thoughts?" Regina asks the mother daughter duo with the lost boy behind her. He couldn't even look at them

"Let's get him that message"

"Oh, we're gonna do more than that" Regina tells them taking a compact mirror out of her pocket and snapping it in half, giving one half to the lost boy "We're gonna see him"the pair walked away, leaving the heartless lost boy with the former princess.

"Hey" the boy whispered to the pixie haired woman getting her attention "Lia" he repeats the name he hadn't heard before "Was that her back in camp earlier?" he quietly ask the woman who tried to help him.

"Yeah" she breathes out "Her name's Amelia"

"Is she nice?"

"Yes" Mary Margaret tell the boy with a watery smile "She is. You would like her"

"Then I'll get the message to Henry for her" he tells her

"Thank you"

"No problem" the teen gives the woman who tried to help him a small smile that reminded her of the redhead, before he was summoned by the former Queen.


The pirate, prince and assassin made it to the top of Dead Man's Peak only to be greeted by a large bush of dream shade vines that had overgrown and left only a small space for the adults to squeeze between a rock and the vines and not get scratched. They needed to be cut away for them to pass.

Hook looked to the already poisoned prince for assistance "Since you're already dying from the stuff, you won't mind if we stand back while you..."

"Yeah" David grunted out in discomfort. The Assassin and Prince drew out their Kukri blade and sword to start to cut the vines down only to turn on Hook with David pushed the tip of his sword on Hook's neck gently pushing him back into the dream shade vines while Amelia simply held the curved blade to her side ready to jump in when needed.

"We know about your deal with Pan" David tells the pirate

"You heard that then?"

"Yeah. I heard that. Then you know I didn't agree"

"Yeah, you also didn't disagree"

"Don't you see? This is what he wanted, to turn us against each other"

"Well, it worked"

"You're making the poison spread quicker, mate" at that Amelia put her blade away

"I don't care. I just have to last long enough to get the sextant back to my family" he tells the pirate "Now take me to it!"

"My brother didn't lose his satchel up here. We made that up" Hook exhaled sharply as David took his sword away. A look of betrayal etched David's face as he turned his head towards Amelia.

"What about the insignia?" David asked pirate and assassin in confusion

"We dropped it on the path, so you'd find it" Amelia admitted to the Prince "When you collapsed earlier"

"Why?"

"Because I knew you'd never make the journey here if I told you the truth" Hook tells him

"The truth? The truth... you brought me here to die?"

"We brought you here to save your life!" Amelia yelled at the Prince "your own damn self-righteousness stopped you from trying to find a cure, you really think I'd stand by and let Snow lose a husband because he thought it was the right thing to do"

"You're both liars!" David yelled back at them, he sluggishly swung at Amelia with his fist only for her to duck down and return the punch to his face knocking him out falling into a crumple heap on the ground.

"Well" she huffed out shaking out her hand in discomfort "That could've gone smoother"


Tom walked back into camp with a straight face and walked straight to Henry nudging his back to get his attention. Henry stand up seeing Tom behind him.

"Tom?" he starts "Look I don't want to fight again, okay?"

"I didn't come to fight. I came to deliver a message" Tom pushes him further towards the edge of the camp away from prying ears "Your family is here" the older boy tells him in a low voice

"What?"

"They're on the island... trying to find you." Tom says the words that Regina is telling him to say through his enchanted heart

Henry shakes his head in denial "Y... y... you're making this up, because I cut your friends cheek. You're trying to get back at me"

"I'm not making it up. Look" Tom takes out one half of the compact mirror and gives it Henry. In the mirror he sees the image of both his mothers and his grandmother as Tom steps back into the camp to give the young boy some privacy and stop any other lost boys from discovering the mirror.

"Henry, are you okay?" his adopted mother asks him

"Henry, can you hear me?" his birth mother says

"Mom?"

"I'm here, too, Henry!" Mary Margaret speak up next to her daughter in the image

"No" he looks up to Tom "This is a trick"

"No. No, it's not a trick. Henry, I promise you this is real" Emma reassure her son "Kid, it's Operation Cobra Rescue. It's us."

"Y... you're here?" Henry stammers in surprise

"Yes. We're coming to get you" the blonde confirms

Out of his eye Henry see's Pan renter the camp "There's someone coming. It's Pan. I... I gotta go"

"We love you" was the last thing the women said into the mirror before Henry threw the mirror away


"Bloody Hell" Hook curses to himself as they come to a bush of vine that housed the deadly poison that was currently making her friend so sick.

"You know what your doing?" Amelia asked the pirate as he took that leather canteen from David's sleeping form and strapped it to himself.

"Aye, for once I do" he tells the woman pulling up a cloth over his mouth and start to hack away at the vines that covered the waterfall that held the cure for David's poisoning. Amelia stood back from the hacking as the vines fell and he cleared a way to the spring and filled the canteen.

He stepped back out and stopped allowing Amelia to look up and down his body for any scratches he may have gotten from the thorn's "All clear" she confirms as he let outs a breath of relief and pull the cloth over his mouth down

"Admit it luv, its not the first time you've admired my dashing good looks" he teased the woman

"I'd rather curse myself" she drawls as she goes back to David and kneels down and gently pats his cheek to wake him up "Wake up Charming, I'm not kissing you" she tries to coax David out of his sleep

"Hey, get off me!" David complains as he pushes Amelia's hand off his cheek only for Hook to fight the semi wake Prince from hitting her and pushes him back onto a rock. Once he's fully awake he stops fighting.

"In this canteen is the water that will stop the dream shade, that will save your life" Hook tells the Prince

"That's why you brought me up here" David realizes

"Yes"

"You knew I wouldn't come on my own, that I wouldn't leave my family"

"That you were stubborn? Yes, I gathered that rather quickly"

"Well, give it to me"

"There's something you need to know first" Amelia stops him from drinking the water Hook picks up from where she left off

"Because its power comes from the island, once you drink this water, you can never leave Neverland" Hook tells him

"It's a small price to pay for what I get in return... the chance to save my grandson..." David pants heavily "and to help my family get home" David takes the canteen from Hook and drinks heartily from it. A smile grows on Amelia's lips as she watches the veins that had spread to his cheek disappears as the color on his face returns

David lets out a joyful laugh as he feels better from the spring's magic as Hook held him stand

David looks between Hook and Amelia with a smile "One question... why risk your life for me when there wasn't anything for you in return?"

"I didn't do it for you, mate" Hook simply tells the Prince

The happy moment was ended when Amelia suddenly felt another presence behind them and quickly snatched out her Kukri blade from her waist alerting Hook and David as they all turned to see a hooded figure stood near the edge of the peak with swords out. The first thing she saw was the blue and white Master Assassin robe's that were seared into her memories and the two cutlass swords that rested on his hips

"No, it can't be" she whispered in horror as she froze in shock as her knife clattered to the ground

"Lia, who is it?" David asks his friend seeing the color drain from her face as she stared at the figure like she had just seen a ghost.

The figure pulled out a hood that obscured his face revealing the light brown hair that was swept neatly to the side and neatly trimmed beard that covered the lower part of his face. He look exactly the same the way he did the last time she saw him. On his knees about to take Claudius's blade to his chest.

Hook's jaw slacked seeing the man that had become legendary on the sea's "Bloody hell" he whispered in awe of the sea Captain that put men like him to shame.

"Hello there" the sound of his voice reverberated through her ears like a gentle melody that had been missing from her life for years. His gently brown eyes met hers as he regarded his daughter for the first time in decades and the gentle smile that paired with them made her heart skip a beat. She missed that smile the most " It's good to see you again Amelia"

He was alive

"Romeo"
