A/N: Here is the fourth chapter of Neverboys!
The young boy's tone was urgent as he pleaded for the rest of the group of teens to follow him. They didn't move and simply stared at the newcomer.
"I'm Harry's brother," he repeated desperately. "He needs help!"
Uma and Gil exchanged a glance. Even though the kid had brown hair and icy blue eyes just like Harry, the resemblance stopped there. This kid was short, skinny and extremely fragile looking. Who was this person?
When no one reacted, Ben took charge. He stepped forward and held his hand out reassuringly. He tried to calm the kid down.
"Hey, it's okay. Why don't you come inside?You'll be able to sit for a minute and tell us the whole story."
It took awhile to coax the boy into climbing back inside, but Ben finally managed to convince the other child to breathe for a second and explain what he was talking about.
Meanwhile, in Neverland, Harry and the other guy were about to escape. Harry watched intently as the other guy doubled over like he had intense stomach pain. One of the boys stopped dancing around and went over to see what was happening. The prisoner suddenly leaned up and grabbed the guard's pocket knife. He threw a right cross, knocking out the guard immediately. He then ran over to Harry and cut his hands loose.
"Come on, we don't have much time," he urged Harry.
After running for quite some time, the two boys hid behind some trees.
"Who are you?" Demands Harry. The other person laughs before looking serious again.
"I'm surprised you haven't recognized me. I'm Thomas, your brother."
Harry stops in his tracks. "That's impossible. I saw him earlier and he was so little and scared of Peter Pan." He raises his hands like he's going to fight. "Who are you really?"
The other person frowns. "Wait…"
His face blanks and he mutters "oh no."
Harry asks defensively: "what?"
The supposed Thomas grabs his shoulders and looked him straight in the eye. "Was the person you saw about 5 foot tall with brown hair, blue eyes and a scared attitude?"
Harry nodded, not even shrugging the other guy off. The other guy's eyes widened.
"This is terrible," he said as he started running again. Harry has to jog to catch up.
"Why? What's going on?"
"We have to get away from here," answers Supposedly-Thomas. "Peter Pan is a master of manipulation."
He pauses, listening in case they were still being chased. "He always gets what he wants."
Back in Auradon, the group finally decided they believed this kid. He claimed his name was Thomas and he was there because Harry had been kidnapped by Peter Pan. They would have to go there in order to save him.
As they were starting to walk away from the school grounds, with Ben and Uma at the front and Thomas at the back, and towards the beach, where they would depart, Thomas heard Uma telling Ben: "I'm not so sure we can trust this guy. Something feels off."
Thomas smirked. "I always get what I want."
