Will's POV:
I watched Pan's eyes flickering green as he stared shocked at me.
Why was he hesitating?
I asked Pan to end my life...but he hasn't moved, only stared shocked. He's probably been wanting to do this for ages. I could feel my blood boiling with anger. My fists curled into a ball, my nails started to dig into my skin.

What was he waiting for!

"I am asking you to end my life! The least you could do is get it done quickly!" I yelled at him.
I felt tears filling up in my eyes, just waiting to come out. I want this to be over. My legs buckled under me and I fell to the ground on my hands and knees.

"Will! What the hell are you doing!" I heard Ben scream again.

I flinched as I felt Pan's hand grab my chin and lift my head up so I was looking directly at him again. Pan looked in my eyes with a cold stare, showing no emotion. I couldn't help myself. My eyes were watering. I couldn't cry in front of Pan; that would mean I'm showing him weakness.

But I guess he now knew that my weakness was Emily.

Water surrounded my eyes as I knew in a second; tears would come running down my face. One blink and I will be crying in front of my enemy.

"Will!"

My heart stopped.

It can't be...that beautiful familiar voice.

"Will don't speak, only think." Emily's soft voice rang through my head.

"You're alive?" I asked not sure if she would be able to hear me.

"Yes"

My eyes widened. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of me.

I was about to blink and release the tears from my eyes when Emily's voice came echoing through my head again.

"Will don't cry, it's what Pan wants!" She exclaimed in a worried tone.

What Pan wants...

My mind clicked in realisation and I thought back to my dream in the cave.

Pan's eyes narrowed as I tried to escape his grip. I slowly stopped moving when I looked into Pan's eyes, his pupils have completely dilated and I knew Pan was about to lose it.

"Tears of the beholder will only grant power to the controller." Pan said softly

Pan wants my tears.

But for what?

I strained my eyes open and looked away from Pan to my left and right. Emily wasn't anywhere in sight. I knew Pan couldn't hear our conversation because he would have probably snapped and killed me as I asked.

"How are you doing this?" I asked.

"I picked up some telepathy from Pan." Emily replied smugly.

I smiled only slightly as Pan was looking directly at me. He lifted an eyebrow then narrowed his eyes.

I frowned, "I thought you were gone."

"I'm not going anywhere, I promise."

I could hear her voice ringing through my head. It sounded reassuring but I had to see her to know this was not just another one of Pan's games.

"Pan wanted to use your tears to turn you." Emily said quickly.

"Turn me into what?" I asked.

"Listen I don't have much time. But I have a plan." Emily said.

The echoing stopped and all I could hear was silence.

Pan suddenly shoved me back. I looked up startled at his expression. My face ran cold. He was mad...really mad.

"She was talking to you, wasn't she!" Pan yelled furiously.

I quickly got up off the ground but did not reply to Pan. His eyes were sparkling bright green. His chest was rising and falling heavily as he tried to contain his anger. It clearly wasn't working...Pan looked like he was about to burst and kill everything in sight.

Pan grabbed out his dagger and used his other hand to grab a fistful of my hair and pull it back. My eyes widened as Pan placed the blade on my collar bone and slid the sharp surface along my neck. I screamed out as loud as I could.

"Pan stop!" I heard Ethan yell.

Pan smirked and chuckled, waving his hand at them. I could hear both of Ben and Ethan's voices now muffled probably by a rope. My shoulder and neck burned as I felt warm blood running down my skin and soaking what was left of my shirt. The pain was excruciating.

"Stop!" I heard someone scream.

Pan's eyes widened and I swear I saw his lips slowly part.

"Leave him alone!" Emily yelled.

Pan let go of me and turned around to face her. Leaving me to collapse to the ground, landing on my hands and knees again but this time the shock of the fall went straight to my shoulder and neck where Pan had cut me open. I put my hand to my wound. I hissed and quickly pulled away to see my whole hand covered in blood. I lifted my head up and looked through my now over grown hair to see Emily.

She is alive.

Pan's POV:
I turned around shocked to see Emily standing a yard away with the glowing crystal in her hand.
This is impossible! How is she breaking through my magic?

Lost girl may be smarter than we thought.

Emily held out the red crystal in front of her. I need to get the crystal off of her, it's the only way I'll have control over her then control over Will.

"Get away from him!" She yelled in a firm tone.

I stood my ground; my eyes narrowing as Emily lifted two fingers off the crystal. As much as I hated it, I complied and moved a couple of steps away from Will who was still lying on the ground with his hand covering his fresh wound.

"Now release them!" She ordered.

My fists tightened as I glared at her then back to the two boys I tied earlier. If she didn't have that crystal, I would put her in the cage and punish her myself. I waved my hand and the two boys who then fell from the tree along with the ropes that were tied to their bodies and mouths. My jaw clenched as I watched the two boys escape free and run to Will. My shadow is right; I needed to test her, and this can be my one shot.

Emily's POV:
I knew it.

I can finally control myself now that I have the crystal. Pan was furious. I knew he wouldn't be able to stand for someone else being in control for once. I looked down at the glowing red crystal. There's no way I'll ever forgive Pan for what he's done to all of us. That's why I need to end this once and for all.

Just as Pan let Ethan and Ben go and turned around, I let the red glowing crystal slip from hand. Her must have sensed it as he quickly turned back to me.

"No!" Pan yelled.

I watched as the crystal hit the ground and broke into separate pieces. I smiled as I looked down at the smashed pieces of crystal that were now a white pale colour.

Had I actually done it…I have I beaten Pan at his own game. He can't control me anymore.

All of a sudden I felt a strong stinging sensation building through my chest as if someone was tearing my muscles apart. I grabbed my chest and started in-hailing and exhaling quickly. The stinging started to turn into burning until it felt as if my chest was on fire. I groaned as I lifted my hand to my chest and carefully touched the skin. The skin was burning to the touch. A sudden wave of dizziness hit my head and I dropped to the floor. I could feel sweat dripping down my face and neck, soaking my hair. It was as if a fire was tearing me apart from the inside. My hands hovered over the crystal as the pieces were now glowing bright red again.

I thought I destroyed it…

Will's POV:
"What's happening!" I asked worriedly as I watched Emily drop to the ground in pain.

The pieces from the crystal were now glowing red again. I turned to Pan who looked taken back at the whole situation. I tried to see what was happening to Emily but only grimaced as the pain from my wound continued to throb.

"Pan!" I yelled.

I got is attention and he looked towards me then back to Emily.

"Her body is rejecting the crystals power. The energy is too much for her to take." Pan said.

"Then you take it!" I yelled.

"Will are you alright!" Ben said, his eyes only staring in shock at my wound.

"I'm fine." I lied as I continued to look at Emily who was now on her hands and knees in front of the crystal.

"So 'I'm fine' as in I'm in excruciating pain, feel like dying fine?" Ethan said sarcastically.

"Yeah that's the one." I replied out of breath.

"What's happening to Emily, what do we do!" Ben asked.

"It's already too late." Pan replied.

I flicked my hair out of my face and looked towards Emily who was now slowly standing up from the ground with the crystal now back in its original form and glowing red again. She looked straight down at the ground letting her brown hair hang down and cover her face. She looked to the crystal in her hand and threw it up in the air.

All of us watched as the crystal shattered into thin air above her. Emily continued to look down but slowly walked over to us. I stood up and Ben and Ethan grabbed my arms to steady me. Emily looked up revealing her face. My eyes only widened as I saw that she was smirking…just as Pan does.

But that's not what scared me; what scared me the most was her soft hazel eyes that have now been replaced by bright purple orbs.

"Emily?" I asked in a quiet voice.

She smirked, "Not anymore."
