Neverboys — Chapter 7
A/N: Hello readers! I'm sorry this chapter came out so late… Not even close to the date I had planned. I am terrible at keeping deadlines. This is the before last chapter so I hope you all like it!
Harry clutched his shoulder in pain while staring at Pan. Everyone was staring at the evil boy as he started to monologue.
"Years ago," he starts explaining with wild hand gestures. "When I was an orphan, your father offered to adopt me and the boys." Pan gestures at his group of lost boys, who holler in response.
He paces back and forth in front of Harry. He chuckles to himself. "We had hope."
"But!" he exclaims suddenly, pausing and turning towards the pirate with an angry glare. "Captain Hook was married to a woman back in Auradon. And he was madly in love."
Pan scoffed. "They already had a child. A little girl named Harriet. But that didn't matter. He wanted a boy. And with us, he would've had sons. But as soon as he found out his wife was having a second child, and that this child was a boy, he forgot all about the Lost Boys and me."
Pan scoffs and kicks Harry in the stomach, causing the pirate to double over in pain. Uma goes to help him but Mal holds her back and whispers something in her ear. Reluctantly, the pirate captain nods and watches the scene unfold from afar.
"That baby," Pan says through gritted teeth, "was you."
Harry musters all his strength to glare back at Pan. He asks: "What about Thomas? We're twins."
Pan scoffs and looks over at Thomas. He is still unconscious, his body being carried by Gil. Pan grins and calls him over. The other boy hops out of Gil's arms and comes immediately. He stops in front of Pan to wait for orders.
"Good acting Thomas, but I need you here right now."
Thomas nods and stands behind Pan. He is wearing an uncomfortable expression on his face and won't make eye contact with Harry.
"Actually, you aren't," explains Pan maliciously, turning back towards Harry.
Harry looks at Thomas in confusion.
Sheepishly, the boy mutters: "Actually, we aren't. We just looked alike when we were young."
Harry looks betrayed. His whole life was a lie.
"So you're a Lost Boy?" he finally chokes out.
He gets a nod in response. Pan grins evilly. He loved creating conflict.
"Ryan!" called Peter Pan. His second in command was immediately by his side, waiting for orders.
"Make sure his friends leave," he orders nodding towards the group of auradonians, still staring in shock at the news. The other boy agrees and stalks towards the group. They are too far to hear but finally agree to leave, for real this time.
Harry asks: "What are you gonna do to me?"
Pan pretends to think for a moment. "Well, I could just kill you…" He drags a dagger along Harry's jawline. "Or…"
Harry feels a shiver down his spine. Or what?
"You could be a lost boy like me."
