Pan's Cave

Peter was still in a trance his Shadow followed the Lost Boys when they raided the hut, Bae and his wooden friend thought they were so clever hiding out where the Natives once lived, no Pan knew everything that happened on his island, his Shadow were his eyes and ears on this island

He smiled as the rigidity looking women came in "You called for me Peter?"

"Ahh yes Tink I have a very important job for you"

His evil grin sent chills down Tinkerbell's spine

The Hut

Emma woke up to a empty Hut, she stretched out and felt the cold dirt on her bare feet, she saw like the day before her clothes had been cleaned and folded by August

"They are amazing" Emma weakly smiled, she feared what would happen when she made it back home, She'd be back on the streets and alone again

No she needed to be brave, she could survive she had survive 6 months on the streets she could probably survive

"Hey Em" She turned and saw August the wood had spread to his neck and started on his chest, Emma winced

"Man that looks painful"

"It is" He tried to muster a smile,

"So where are we going?"

August whistled and Bae came in with a long folded up paper, he unrolled It and Emma looked at all the markings

Bae shyly smiled and pointed at a spot marked in purple, "We're here on the end of Mermaid Lagoon….here we're safe from Pan's men and the Mermaids…..where we need to get to is here…..Neverland Plain" he pointed at the green swirl

"But the only problem is…..we have to cut across the Neverwoods, where all the Lost Boys are"

"isn't that dangerous!?"

"Very" August rubbed his still flesh wrist while the rest of his left hand was now completely wooden

"How much longer till your completely wood?"

"a day or 2.…don't know what happens after...but till then we're gonna try to get your home"

"Then what will you guys do?"

"go back into hiding"

"Wh…Why don't you guys come with me?"

Bae hid his sadness "W…We can't Emma…we don't know what would happen, I've been around much longer then any normal person could live, I could die and August would definitely die, there no magic where your from"

"So, I'll loose you guys if I go home"

Bae stayed silent but August answered "there no if Emma, you need to go home, it's important that you go home"

"Why?"

"It…It just is!"

Bae laughed as his 2 friends went back and forth

He grabbed the large sack and threw it to August "let's go guys"

Pan's Cave

Felix ate the large piece of pig leg that he and the other boys had hunted as Peter went out searching for ingredients for his and Tink's secret project

2 of the Lost Boys ran in "Felix!…Where's Pan!?"

"He's off somewhere why?"

"We got a sitting sighting of the girl!"

"Where!?"

The Forest

August led the group and Emma and Bae walked side by side "So Bae…I've been wonderin something?"

"What?"

"Where's Captain Hook?"

"You know Hook?"

"Yeah so is he here!?" Emma started jumping up and down, Bae laughed

"No he's long gone, left about 15 years ago"

"awww….bummer, I always liked him…even with that lame perm"

"What's a perm?"

Emma laughed as they kept walking, "So you guys have been growing magic beans?"

"Yeah, turns out Wood Boy and I apparently have green thumb"

"How many are there?

He rubbed his chin "hmmm I dunno 2 beans a pod…..about 30 beans in total last time we checked"

"Wow that's allot"

"Yeah it is"

Crocodile Creek

Emma pinched her nose, the creek smelled like rotting bodies mixed with crap

"God I hope you didn't plant the beans here"

August coughed and cringed as he saw the blood on his now wooden left hand "N…'cough' No we 'cough' have to go farther"

August's now wooden knees locked up and he fell to the ground "dammit!"

Bae ran over and threw August's left arm over Bae's shoulder, Emma did the same to the right

"No…It's fine I can…"

"You can barely walk, Bae and I can carry you"

August held his head down "I feel like a child"

His limp legs dragged as Emma and Bae pulled him through the swamp land

August felt a stabbing pain in his back, "on no….guys"

They dropped him when they saw the arrow sticking from his back

They looked at Felix he held his staff behind his head, he had 2 archers with him one was black and the other was Asian

"Again boys"

They aimed and fired But Emma and Bae ducked, Bae reached to his side and pulled his sword out "Emma stay with August!"

Bae sliced the oncoming arrows and tried slashing at Felix, his staff caught the blade in mid strike "oh Baelfire, you forgot what Hook taught you"

Felix kicked Bae in the stomach and he flew backwards

"I…I need to help Emma" August's body felt on fire from the shoulders down, "I need to fight!"

He forced himself up, He Hadn't had a wooden body for 15 years it was almost like a new experience

"Emma….run"

Emma watched as Bae cut down the 2 archers, she'd never seen that look in his eyes before, it was cold and dark

Felix leaped over to her, he flung his staff toward Emma, August leaped in front of her and the staff slammed into his chest sending him flying into the swamp water

"August!"

Felix laughed, "oh this is to sweet"

He pulled from his side a dagger and prepared to finish Emma, Bae tackled him to the ground and flung the dagger into the swamp water

Emma stared at the water, "Augsut…..he….he's dead"

"I…I know Emma…we…we need to go on...he'd want us to "

Emma wiped away her tears and went with Bae

Pan's Cave

Pan sat slumped on the cave ledge, "Are you done yet women!"

Tinkerbell wiped a stray bang away from her left eye as she slowly tried mixing the potion, since losing her wings, even making a potion took to much effort….especially the one Pan wanted

"It should be a day or 2 more Peter"

Peter stomped his feet "NO!…I want it made now!"

"Peter I need Dreamshade and I've run out, it'll take me a day to get more, and another day to separate the poison from it!"

"FINE!" He leaped out of the cave and went flying off

She hated being anchored to that brat

The Woods

Peter saw Felix and 3 of the Lost Boys running toward him carrying something covered in muck

"Where the bloody hell have you all been!?"

Felix smirked "We have a surprise…your gonna love it"

They rubbed the muck away from there surprise, Peter smirked as he saw the face of August

"Well lookie here, if it isn't Pinocchio"

The wood began spreading up August's neck

"PETER!"

Tinkerbell ran over to the group, She held the vial with the bubbling black liquid "it's done Peter"

"Good now…Boys find me Emma Swan!"

The Lost Boys cheered as Pan raised his knife
