Pan's POV
It wasn't enough.
I trusted Felix more than anyone else on this island but I had to see for myself. My shadow should have sent me a warning before the ship even came close to the island, and that was my only reason for questioning Felix in the first place. I remember clearly, only a few days ago when my shadow informed me that the ship remained on the outskirts seas of Neverland, where it had remained for the past years since...and now it's suddenly here.
My strides got longer, my boots kicking up the dust on the gravel path as I picked up the pace. Felix was walking shortly after, his hood now covering over his head. I guess Hook is that desperate to know the truth that he couldn't wait any longer. It has been years since we both faced each other, I wouldn't know how long exactly but we both had a good reason for keeping our distance apart. I felt my fists tightening as the set memories clouded my mind.
It was soon before sunset when they came to the island without warning. Each and every one of them hiding, waiting for the right moment, ready for an ambush. When the time came none of the boys were ready for them. I was able to sense and hear how many there were but I couldn't warn the boys in time. The ambush began quickly, each one of the pirates crawling out from the jungle straight into campus, attacking at the first chance they got. We weren't outnumbered but most of the boys were inexperienced and not prepared for the horror they would soon face.
It wasn't long before the ground began to stain a dark red as the sounds of metal swords clashing together could be heard from all around. The terrified cries of the boys slowly faded one by one as the pirates raided into campus those many years ago. Blood was spilled from both pirates and the lost boys, it didn't matter what end of the sword you were facing. Before we knew it we had lost so many. It was only when I noticed the true damage the pirates had caused that I lost control, lashing out and using my magic to kill any pirate I could get my hands on. By then, most of the pirates had retreated back to the ship yet Hook still remained. He stood standing with a burning rage building inside him. He wouldn't stop fighting to get to me...to kill me.
I was able to help heal most of the boys with my magic, stopping them from bleeding out to their deaths but fighting against Hook at the same time had been near to impossible. I couldn't do both, I wasn't strong enough at the time. I waited for the right moment and was able to take Hook down. I was too distracted to end his life then, but I caused enough damage forcing the rest of the pirates that remained to retreat back to the ship, this time carrying their captain long with them. I used the strength I had left to create the barrier over the island neglecting Hook and his crew from ever setting foot on Neverland again. I cursed the Jolly Rodger to remain on the seas of Neverland so my shadow could keep a close eye on them.
It had been so long ago since the incident that my shadow had told stories of the crew becoming so traumatized that they thought I barely existed, that the boy from Neverland was just a myth. Hook, however, still remembers just as I do of that very day. I know he has been suffering all these years after I had banished his brother. He's sanity barely kept him alive with the constant need to find the truth. I wanted him to suffer; I wanted him to lose his mind and let it be a constant reminder that he was alone, that his brother was to remain lost forever. It was his own fault. I had warned them in the past on their first arrival here that the island was a dangerous place. That if they tried to break the rules they would pay the price. His brother; the first captain, had paid that price. Hook blamed me and has sought revenge ever since. It wasn't until I found out that he was aboard the ship that I decided to make a deal with the captain. I'll give him the truth if in return he delivers what I asked for. The package...he better have it or I'll make sure Hook joins his brothers suffering.
"Pan."
I turned to Felix who was now standing in front of me.
"What do we do?"
I followed Felix's gaze to see the line of palm trees that ended the thick jungle. The boys were gathered there, hiding under the ferns and staring off to the shores of the beach. I made my way over to them, the dirt beneath my feet slowly becoming lighter and softer until I was standing alongside the boys in the line of palm trees. The sand slowly began sinking under my feet as I stood still, looking out past the break-waves to see the Jolly Roger sitting on the water. I scoffed at the mere sight of the ship.
Were they really that scared of a bunch of children that they couldn't make it past the break-water?
It didn't matter now.
The import thing was that they were here, which meant the package is too.
My thoughts were distracted as the boys began asking questions among themselves. Some were scared, others were as eager to take revenge as I was.
Will's POV
"No way!" Ben's gasped as his face lit up.
He tried to stand up again but before he could Ethan and I pulled him down to the ground.
"Ben, would you cut it out!" Ethan hissed, holding onto Ben tightly before covering him beneath the ferns.
"This is so cool!" Ben squealed causing Ethan to punched his arm.
Ben's face scrunched as he grasped his arm giving Ethan a glare.
"Ben this is not cool," I spoke from behind the two of them.
"Don't you remember what happened?!" Ethan reminded him, causing Ben's eyes to soon fall to the ground.
Of course he does...we all do.
How could anyone forget that day.
My eyes set on the ship that sat rocking swiftly on the water. Just the sight of it was enough to remind me of that horrible day. The dark wood covered the entire vessel leading up to the highest masts which draped the white sails against the wind. My eyes led upwards following as much detail of the ship that I could see from this distance away until my attention was caught on the symbol of the Jolly Roger itself, the flag that taunted and looked down upon its enemies from the highest point of the ship. The white skull and crossbones marked the center of the black flag that depicted above the main mast. It moved through the wind above the sails, the teeth of the skull appearing to be curling into a grin as the wind moved the flag, consequently giving the ship its very name. I couldn't see a single pirate but I knew the entire crew was aboard the ship, including Hook, that they were probably watching the island closely just as we are watching them.
The only reason the ship could be this close to the island was if Pan had lifted the curse. Even if it was momentarily, there had to be a good reason for Pan to even consider it. He is planning something and I know it. The test he put us through wasn't just for nothing after all. He really did want only the strongest of us to survive because he couldn't risk repeating what had happened last time. It surprised me that he even said so himself. If it weren't for Pan, none of us would have survived when the pirates had last attacked us. But then again, if it weren't for Pan, none of us would have been in that mess in the first place.
"Will..."
A cold shiver ran along my skin as I sat back against the ferns, Fin's voice echoing in my head before slowly fading out to complete silence. I sat still as my surroundings quickly fell silent soon after Fin's voice. It was as if someone had flicked a switch. Every noise I could hear had suddenly stopped. I stared confusingly at Ben and Ethan whose lips were moving, indicating they were talking, except I couldn't hear them. I lowered my hand to the ground, flinching as my fingertips touched the spikes of grass. I curled my fingers through the bristles as I ran my hand along the ground. I could feel the spikes under my palms but the rustling sound of the grass did not follow. I couldn't hear anything.
"William..."
I couldn't hear anything; except for Fin's voice.
"Will, he is here."
He?
"Remember, Will."
Fin's voice spoke louder.
"This is not a dream...remember what I told you."
I covered my hands over my ears, closing my eyes as Fin's voice rang through my head. Before his voice could fade I thought back to what he had told me. I remembered his serious expression, his desperate eyes looking up at me as he warned me of what was to come. My face tightened in discomfort as I let Fin's previous warning turn my thoughts.
"There's someone coming to the island..."
"That person is very important. Will...the person coming is your key to escape."
"He is the receiver and once arrived...must return."
The receiver...
"Helloo Will?"
I blinked a couple of times, propping myself up on my elbows to see Ben sitting by my side in a cross-legged position. His voice was quiet, followed by his fingers that were clicking in my face to get my attention. I tried to concentrate as his voice along with the noise around me soon returned back to normal. I could hear Ben clearly now along with his persistent clicking. I sighed in annoyance, grabbing hold of Ben's hands.
"You can stop now," I said to Ben who stopped clicking and grinned, letting out a slight chuckle.
"Sorry," Ben said before I let go of his hands.
Ethan sighed, grabbing Ben by the hood of his cloak and pulling him back. I gave Ben a weird look as he managed to maintain his cross-legged position as he rolled backward behind Ethan. Man, he is one strange kid.
Ethan helped pull me up from the ferns and I could see his worried expression. Ben may be oblivious but Ethan was certainly not, he picked these things up easily.
"Are you alright?" Ethan asked.
I could hear the concern in his tone but I couldn't tell them about Fin.
"I'm fine, I-"
I stopped myself short as I noticed Pan staring directly at me; his stone cold gaze lasting only a moment before he turned away and faced the rest of the boys.
He couldn't...
Did Pan know about Fin?
"Listen up!" Pan called capturing all the boys attention.
"I am going aboard the ship and while I'm doing so I want you all to remain out of sight. You are safe here, they can't leave the ship. Felix will be in charge until I get back."
Felix nodded in understanding of the new given orders. This however resulted to hearing an all too familiar whine to escape Ben's mouth.
"Scar face...seriously?"
Ethan punched Ben in the arm again causing him to grip the hit spot and turn to Ethan with a frustrated expression.
"Would you stop that!"
I ignored Ben and Ethan's arguing, my attention still focused on Pan as I watched a smirk curl to his lips. He seemed rather calm but what did Pan have to fear anyway. They were a bunch of pirates suck on the seas of Neverland, they were Pan's prisoners.
"This won't take long," Pan said as he turned to the ship's direction.
He looked out to the ship, his eyes focusing and soon enough he had disappeared. All the boys then turned to the vessel on the sea. We had no idea what Pan was planning to do. For all we knew he could be ending this once and for all but I had a feeling this had more to it than killing off the pirates now. He could have done that a long time ago; there was something else he was after, something important. Pan wouldn't remove the curse to bring them here just to kill them all, not without getting anything in return. The timing was all wrong. He had arrived after the boys found out the ship was here this morning.
My face fell as I replayed Fin's voice. The person Fin was warning me about...the receiver.
Did Pan know who this person was?
If he did, that meant that this person Fin had warned me about; the one who would be my key to escape...was on the Jolly Roger.
But that could only mean it had to be one of the pirates.
Or was it Hook?
No, it can't be.
They're pirates...they are the enemy.
Pan's POV
There was no point in wasting any more time. I focused on the ship and the ship only, leaving my mind to block everything else out. I let my instincts take over before breathing in slowly, using my magic to disappear off the island. A slip second later, my feet swiftly landed on the flat wooden railing that bent along the edge of the ship. I scanned the main deck to see several of the pirates jump back in fear at my sudden arrival. My eyes met with the captain himself who's piercing blue eyes held a scoring gaze on me; this only caused a smirk to curl through my lips as I looked down at him.
"Been a long time laddie."
Hook's POV
Just remember, you paid the price many years ago. You don't have to be on the island for me to keep you here. You can stay on the seas of Neverland all you like but the deal we made still stands. Bring me what I asked for and I'll tell you where your brother is.
My fingers brushed the edges of the paper as I stared down at the letter from Pan. I reached for the small silver dagger that lay on top of my desk, grasping it tightly by the wooden engraved handle as I raised my hand into the air before bringing it down through the letter, the sharp blade cutting in through the thin paper above Pan's name, splitting into the oak wood desk. I inhaled keeping a burning gaze on the letter as I leaned back into my chair, turning the silver ring around my finger that my brother once wore. Pan better keep his word. I have waited too long to know the truth.
My thoughts were soon interrupted as I heard the rushing of boots climbing down the stairs from above deck, the footsteps growing louder with each step before stopping behind my door. I clenched my jaw, pulling the dagger out of the desk, my eyes remaining glaring at the door. I waited but only sighed in annoyance, my patience wearing thin as the person hesitated, just as they all did.
"C-Captain?"
"Only speak if you are here to inform me that we have arrived. If not, I suggest you refrain yourself from taking," I threatened sternly, interrupting the quivering voice from behind the door.
I twirled the small dagger between my fingers, keeping my eyes locked on the golden knob that slowly began to turn.
"Y-Yes, Captain."
I now heard Smee's shaken voice sound through the room as he began to open the door.
A grin formed on my face as I quickly stood from my chair throwing the blade across the room, watching as it hurled through the air before piercing firmly into the previous marks of clipped wood on the doorframe. I chuckled lowly in amusement as I heard a jolt against the door as a whimper escaped Smee's mouth.
"Enter."
Smee slowly moved the door, his face soon emerging from behind it with eyes locked in fear as they met the dagger frame just above his head.
"What a shame, I missed," I chuckled sarcastically.
He closed the door behind him and took a couple small steps into the room, keeping a close distance to the door. Smee cleared his throat and tried to maintain eye contact with me, though failed miserably. I leaned over the desk placing my fists on the cold wood.
"C-Captain, we h-have arrived."
I grinned, "Excellent"
I glanced down at the torn letter that sat between my fists before turning my attention back to Smee who froze once his eyes locked with mine. I tilted my head to the side as the room fell quiet and Smee's uneasy breaths could be heard as he fidgeted with his fingers.
"Well..." I started causing him to flinch, "What are you waiting for?"
"Captain?" He mumbled.
"Prepare the ship, Smee!"
"Y-Yes Captain!" Smee said in a hurry as he stumbled to the door.
I could hear his footsteps fading up the stairs and my quarters were soon silent once again. Well, almost silent except for the small groans of pain that escaped his mouth. I walked towards the dimly lit side of the room to the furthest corner where I could see his smaller figure laying spread over the couch. He still remained in the same spot since he nearly consumed the entire bottle of the intoxicating drink I gave him. He had been in and out of consciousness for the past couple of days. The bruising and swelling that patched his face were beginning to slowly fade but the cuts on his skin skill remained permanent. The liquor no doubtfully has strained his body. It was only two days ago that he could begin to see straight again. It didn't surprise me seeing as he almost consumed the whole bottle
I couldn't risk the crew giving him another beating; it would be enough to kill him if the liquor wouldn't first. I had to keep him alive, at least barely if I wanted to go through with Pan's deal, to know the truth of where my brother was. Finally, that time has come. I gazed down at the boy, a grin forming on my lips as his body stirred as he began to wake up.
? POV
My eyes shut tightly as I felt my skin begin to fall into a cold sweat. I couldn't see him yet his voice spoke so clearly as if he were standing right behind me.
"I sent you for a reason..."
"...I need you to find someone and make sure they are still alive."
I covered my face, rolling to my side, trying to hide away and block out his voice
I couldn't go back, not when it had taken me so long to escape.
If I go I might never return again.
What would I do if I came back and Pan decided to kill me?
Would the whole plan fail?
My body jolted awake and I finally caught my breath. I could feel the sweat on my forehead as I lifted my head that had been resting on my arm. I rolled over, my eyes slowly fluttering open in confusion as they met with the captain who was standing in front of me with a sly grin. I managed to sit up ignoring the throbbing pain in my head. For the last couple of days, I have been hallucinating. I couldn't distinguish between what was real or not between the brief moments that I would wake up. If anything, it only reminded me of why I was here in the first place.
It was odd to see the captain in such a good mood, well, better mood. Perhaps I haven't woken up yet. It seemed likely at first that the captain was really here but whenever I would wake up, I would only see the dark silhouettes of the room. It had been a couple of days since the captain and I had spoken to each other and I think we both would have preferred to keep it that way. Judging by the look on his face, I had a feeling I won't be going back to sleep any time soon.
"I hope you enjoyed your little nap while it lasted," The captain spoke letting the sarcasm roll off his tongue.
I gave the captain a cold stare and he only chuckled, grabbing the collar of my shirt, his fists curling around the material, pulling me up from the couch. My eyes narrowed as his hand maintained a firm grip so I couldn't pull away.
A smirk curled through his lips, his icy blue eyes flickering as he locked with mine, "You should be excited...you're moments away from returning to hell."
My eyes widened in realisation of what was going to happen and Hook's hand released me. I fell backward onto the couch letting my arms break my fall. The sudden movement made my head spin, blurring my vision for a moment until I saw two other pirates standing on either side of the captain, their toothy grins widening in sync as they stood before me, each with a set bundle of rope in their hands. Hook stood back while the two pirates lunged forward grabbing my arms in the process to stop me from moving. They pulled my wrists together, wrapping the rope around them tightly while I could only glare up at the amusement on the captain's face.
"You know, Pan won't give you what you want."
"Oh really?" The captain lifted a brow, "And what makes you think I would listen to you?"
"You can ignore me all you like but you and I both know Pan and his certain way of dealing with things," I said, watching as the captains face stiffened, "We both know this will only end with one person getting what they want," I smirked as the pirates lifted me up so I was face to face with Hook,"..and that person won't be you."
The captain's smug expression changed to a look of anger.
"Bring the package above deck!"
I laughed as I saw the changed expression on Hook's face before the two pirates dragged me away. I could see it in his eyes, a part of him knew I was right, and a part of him actually believed that what I was saying was true. That's all I needed. I know Pan won't give Hook the truth he desires because this deal will only work out one way, and that's Pan's way.
The pirates dragged me out of the captain's quarters and up the stairs, finally bringing me on the main deck. I breathed in the fresh air that my lungs had been dying to receive since the captain had locked in his quarters for the last remaining days which smelt strongly of alcohol. I looked around the deck to see all the familiar faces of the crew who all gave me a burning look of hatred, their heads son all turning in one direction as the captain walked above deck.
"I think it's about time we dispose of the boy." The captain announced, his eyes remaining locked with mine.
The pirates broke out in loud cheers and shouts, lifting their blades into the air as the captain walked up to me. The two pirates that were holding me down had finally let go forcing me to stare up at the captain. He placed his silver hook under my chin, the cold metal placing firmly against my skin.
"Just like old times, hey captain," I smirked as his eyes narrowed.
"Fortunately for the both of us, there won't be a next time," The captain snarled as he removed his hook from under my chin.
"Gag him, I don't want him interrupting or getting in the way."
I winced as I felt a line of rope get forced into my mouth and pulled back tightly in a knot behind my head. I could feel the swelling and bruising on my face start to throb as they pulled on the rope a lot tighter than necessary.
"Keep him hidden; I want to make sure this deal goes according to plan," The captain said, giving his orders to the pirates behind me.
I groaned as I felt a hard kick to the back of my knees causing them to buckle as I hit the floor of the deck. A couple of the pirates stood in front of me, blocking my vision. It wasn't until I heard them all gasp and take a step back that I knew he was here.
My eyes widened as I heard the voice I haven't heard in such a long time, the voice I thought I would never hear again. The boy I thought I would never see again was now here to take me back to Neverland.
"Been a long time laddie."
Hook's POV
After so long, I was met with those glinting green eyes.
Pan jumped from the wooden railing, his boots landing swiftly on the deck, the smirk remaining on his face as the crew took a couple steps back in fear. These imbeciles were acting exactly as Pan wanted them too, despite everything I had told them.
My attention was brought to Pan as I heard him scoff as he glanced around at some of the pirates. I realised now that my hand was already placed around the handle of my sword, tempting me to pull the blade out from my belt as Pan moved closer causing the crew to slowly edge further to the other side of the ship. My need for revenge stirred inside as I suddenly felt the desire to attack him while he stood right before me, distracted, with no visible weapons on him.
From my memory, if I recall Pan using anything besides his magic, it was his bow or a dagger, neither of which were placed on him. I lowered my sword back into my belt. For now, that revenge I needed had to wait if I wanted to find the truth. If I openly attacked Pan now there was no predicting what he would do. I couldn't risk it, not when I am so close. I couldn't wait any longer.
"Tell me where my brother is!" I demanded.
Pan only chuckled as a smug look appeared on his face.
"Haven't the pirates learned any manners during our time apart?"
"Enough!" I said through gritted teeth, letting the anger fill my voice.
"You're really no fun, Captain." Pan sighed, "…but to tell you the truth, I'm not interested in dragging this out any longer."
"Finally, something we can agree on...now tell me where my brother is."
Pan's green eyes narrowed, his smirk leaving his face.
"First show me what I came for."
I waved towards the two pirates that had brought him above deck. They dragged him out from behind a group of pirates who quickly moved out of the way. Muffled groans and strains could be heard as the two pirates roughly grabbed him by his arms, dragging him along the deck before he was thrown at Pan's feet.
"Here's your precious package."
Pan's POV
My eyes searched the pirates before stopping as two emerged from behind the group. I could feel the anger fuelling inside of me as my eyes locked with the boy who had a decent amount of bruising and swelling on his face, most likely from these pirates themselves taking out as much revenge as they could at the only boy from the island they could get their hands on.
I noticed the tightened rope that was latched around his hands while a separate piece was set in between his teeth, tied behind his head. For that alone I'll really make him pay. I'll make them all pay.
I gritted my teeth as the two pirates threw him at my feet. I had to control myself from killing each and every one of them, starting with their all so precious captain. I only abandoned my desire for revenge when I looked down at him to see his eyes shaking in fear.
It was time to finish things up here; I had to get him back to the island.
I faced the captain, forcing a grin against the anger I had wanting to serge out.
"A deal is a deal," I said before raising my hands and taking a calming breath in.
Hook's eyes focused intently while the other pirates muttered to themselves as I used my magic to create a large circular ring in front of me. I turned my hands to an angle and the circle soon became solid as it floated in the air. It began to flash images of the last remaining memories of Hook's brother.
I did keep my word, Hook would find the truth of where his brother is, however that truth was not what the captain was going to expect. I was honestly surprised that he would actually think I would let him live after what he had done.
Hook's POV
I waited impatiently as the circle began to flash images of the ship and the island. It wasn't until I saw my brother standing alongside me on the ship that I felt a wave of dread wash over me. I remember the memory clearly. That was the last time I saw my brother, it wasn't until I had turned away for one second when he was gone and taken by Pan. My breath hitched as the image changed. I stared at the circle in confusion as it only showed the depths underwater. I turned to Pan who had lowered his hands, indicating there was nothing more to show. I looked back at the circle but it wasn't changing.
"N-Nothing's happening!" I shouted at Pan. "It's just showing water."
Pan's eyes locked with mine and my face fell as he gave me a burning look.
"Yes captain, take a hint," Pan said before glancing back at the still sea water that surrounded the ship.
My nostrils flared as my eyes widened in anger. I yanked my sword out from my belt and held it up in front of me. The pirates followed my lead as I moved closer to Pan.
"You liar!" I growled as I swung my sword towards Pan who dodged the blade.
"Captain, if there's one thing you know about me it's that I always keep my deals," Pan said before lifting up the boy to his feet and moving in front of him. "You wanted to know the truth and now you do. Your brother is dead and nothing is going to change that," Pan said bitterly.
I shouted out, not being able to control my rage any longer as I swung my sword at Pan. He was able to dodge the first strike but I quickly grabbed him by the collar before he could move from the next strike. He didn't flinch; he only glared at me as I put pressure on the blade against his neck, watching as it pierced his skin leaving a line of blood to run down his neck. Pan didn't seem to care at all that I had cut him, he just watched, analysing my face as he waited. My hands curled against the material of his shirt as I clenched my jaw.
"I'm going to find the thing you love most and destroy it," I said through gritted teeth.
My eyebrows furrowed as I watched a smirk curl against his lips again, his laughter filling the deck.
"You can try...but I'll save you the trouble and tell you now that you won't be destroying anything."
Before I could say another word my nails curled into my skin and I pulled my hands away as Pan had disappeared from my grasp. My chest began to rise and fall, becoming raspy as I looked down to see the package had disappeared along with Pan leaving an empty wooden deck. I stared at my feet in anger and disbelief, my hand beginning to shake around my sword.
My brother was gone, he was dead...and it was all Pan's doing!
"C-Captain?"
I turned around and shouted slashing my sword straight into the voice that spoke.
The pirate looked at me with wide eyes, mouth open as a long yelp of pain escaped his lips. I breathed heavily as I removed the blade out from his chest, watching coldly as the body collapsed to the deck in a heap as a small pool of blood began to surround the now lifeless body. I placed my stained sword back into my belt before running my fingers through my hair slightly pulling at the tips in frustration. What a waste.
The ship fell silent as I looked up to the rest of the crew who's attention moved away from me as they all quickly averted their eyes elsewhere.
"Clean up the mess and dispose of the body. If I hear anyone mention Pan's name again you will suffer the same fate," I threatened.
Pan's POV
My feet landed swiftly on the sand while I heard a groan and a thump land behind me. I turned around, crouching down to the boy who had seemed relieved to be finally off the ship. It has been a long time, we have both haven't seen each other since he escaped the island. He was the first to escape. What I couldn't, and still don't understand is how he ended up back here, and most importantly, how he ended up with the pirates again.
I decided it would be best to interrogate him later. Judging by the bruising and swelling on his face, it seems as though Hook and his crew were taking all their anger out on him, not giving him a break until I got my hands on him. I found out he was aboard the ship a couple of weeks ago, there was no telling how long he had been there for. He was one of my most loyal lost boys, apart from Felix, so for that, I'll help him.
I pulled out my dagger that was previously hidden away from the pirates and used it to cut the ropes that tied his hands together. The skin that was covered by the rope had been grazed leaving red marks around his wrists. I cut the rope that was tied in his mouth. He pulled it out from between his lips, tossing it to the sand as he coughed trying to get his breath back.
I placed my hand to my neck feeling the blood against my skin as I held the cut Hook had made. I waited a couple seconds using my magic heal to heal the wound before turning back to him. I then used my magic to heal the grazes on his wrists and the bruising on his face. He looked at me with confusion as he touched the sides of his face.
"I know I used magic to heal you but I can't have the other boys fearing the pirates."
He nodded in understanding though his eyes remained cautious.
"Hook has gotten far worse, he has barely kept himself together."
I stood up and he soon followed. He looked around at the island before his attention was brought back to me, a grin soon appearing on his face. I mirrored his expression as I put my dagger back into my belt.
"You have grown since the last time I saw you," I said as I noticed small differences in his appearance.
He chuckled lightly.
"I can't say the same for you, Pan."
"It's not noticeable here on Neverland, but I can tell you have grown up a bit since you were gone for such a long time."
His eyebrows furrowed at my comment. "It's only been three years."
"If you're referring to the time lost here then it has been many more than that."
He sighed running his fingers along his wrists.
"It's good to be home."
I smirked.
"It's good to have you back, Baelfire."
Hook's POV
He got away this time but I'll make sure that the next time we cross paths, I will finish him for good. I looked out at the island and grinned. It seems you have forgotten the fact that you lifted the curse from my ship to get here, Pan. I may not be able to get to the island but this is certainly a start, I won't be able to take you down now, but I'm guessing one of those lost children might just do the trick. There's no saying I can't take you down from the inside. It's only fair after all.
You took one of mine and now I'm going to take one of yours...
Guess who's back...
Did anyone expect Baelfire to be ? POV
Now that he is back to the island, what do you think is going to happen?
What do you think Pan is planning to do with the one boy who was able to escape his island, and more importantly, what is Hook planning to get revenge for the death of his brother?
Let me know what you think!
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, another is on the way!
