Peter looked up at his boys. All dancing around the fire as he played the flute, only they could hear. He resumed his melody, when he felt a jolt go through his brain. Two people had just entered Neverland. Apparently Wendy's brothers had failed him, and the mermaid had returned with whatever Rumplestiltskin had sent her for, but she had someone else with her.
"What's the matter?" Felix asked as he saw Pan look quizzically into the distance. His eyes focused on something Felix could not see.
"Someone has come to visit. I must go see who this is." With that Pan ran off into the forest, leaving Felix and the boys with more questions than answer.
Pan got to the top of the mountain, where he could survey all of Neverland. He saw the little camp Henry's family had made, and Rumplestiltskin and Regina standing by the shore waiting on the precious mermaid. In the distance heading towards Regina and Rumplestiltskin were two mermaids. Pan called upon his shadow. "Go see who the other mermaid is." With that Pan's shadow zoomed off the see who this mysterious mermaid was.
Within a minute his shadow was back. The shadow showed Pan who it was, and that the person was not actually a mermaid, but instead a human who was enchanted. As soon as Pan saw the face of the young girl, he knew she was the Dark One's Belle.
"Perfect" Pan said as he smirked to his shadow. Pan ran to the lost boys once again.
"Boys! We have a bit of company tonight; we just need to send the welcoming committee. Felix and Thomas take the fairy dust and follow my shadow. Bring her back to me alive and unharmed."
The boys flew off into the night towards the two mermaids.
Pan smirked. How polite of her to offer herself to him. This was a major game changer for the Dark One.
