Chapter 8: Going To Skull Rock To Rescue Henry

Emma's POV

Sam, Roland, Gold, Regina, Neal and I are on our way to Skull Rock, Neal rowing the boat for us across the sea.

I know it's risky, but I decided to take Sam and Roland with us as Sam can protect herself and Roland against Pan with her shield and Sammy said she couldn't leave Roland behind, that she'll explain later about imprinting on him. She seems to act like a older sister to him."

We saw a massive rock shaped like a skull, which was glowing orange.

Sam, Roland, Neal, Gold, Regina and I hopped off the boat and starting started walking.

Sam and I go to continue walking when we get blasted back by something. We fall to the ground.

"Are you two okay?" Neal asked. Sam and I nod our heads, yes.

"Pan cast a protection spell," Sam said, reading Gold's mind.

"We have to break it," Regina said, throwing one of her fireballs but it disappeared over our heads.

"You can try all you want, but Pan's magic is too powerful," Gold said.

"We could use the spell my father used to rip off his shadow," Neal said.

"Yeah, Sam said.

"The moon," Sam and I said at the same time.

"The moon is what causes our shadows, we could block it out using magic," Emma said.

So after Regina, Sam and I created a magical lunar eclipse so that we could get through Pan's barrier, we looked for Henry until we saw Henry take out his heart.

Sam's POV

Emmy, Gina- I got that nickname when I first arrived in Storybrooke and it stuck, Neal and I arrived just in time to see Henry take out his heart. It was red and glowing gold with belief."

"No!" Pan's tricking you, Henry," I said.

"Sam's right, Buddy. "Whatever Pan's telling you to do, don't do it," Neal said."

"Dad, you're alive!" Henry said.

"Yes I am buddy," Neal said.

"Oh, nice to see you again, Baelfire," Pan said, not to mention the savior, the savior's little sister, Evil Queen-" he turned and noticed Roland standing in the middle of Emma and I. "And my lost boy."

Pan tried to grab Roland, but my shield instantly came up, covering Roland and I from our heads to our feet.

I hugged Roland tight.

"Ah, a shield," Pan said."

"Yes, and you're not getting him," I retorted.

"Henry, you can't trust Pan," I said.

"Yes, I can. The Heart of the Truest Believer- it's going to save magic," Henry said.

"No, Henry, it's not- Pan's doing it to save himself," I said."

"They're just trying to lie to you." "But remember, every hero is tested," Pan said."

"Henry, I know what being a hero is, and this isn't it," Regina said.

Henry turned to Pan. "Why are they lying?"

"Because that's what adults do, Henry. Even you're aunty Sam is lying." "You should know better then anyone. "Your mum has been lying about your dad."

I scoffed. "Hen, you have to believe us," I pleaded.

Pan turned to Henry. "They don't care about Neverland and they never will."

Henry turned to us. "I'm sorry, but I have to save magic."

Noooo!" I screamed, but it was too late. Henry inserted his heart into Pan's chest. A blast of wind hits and Henry falls to the ground, dead.

We were all pushed back by the force of the magic washing out of Neverland and into Peter.

I was the first to regain my balance as Peter started flying into the air.
