Later on in the night i come back from doing a scout of the island with an annoyed look on my face.

"PETER!" I shout as i walk over to him, the other lost boys asleep around the fire.

"Not so loud, you'll wake them" He says and i sigh as i look at him "Now, what's wrong with you?" He ask as he touches my arm

"Please explain to me why i found 2 of the lost boys knocked out cold... by a sleeping spell?" I say and Peter looks at the ground before he looks at me

I glance at the other lost boys all sleeping around us.

"It's nothing, just some unwanted guests that have decided to walk onto the island. They managed to spell them" He says to me and i stop, still

"Unwanted... how unwanted, Peter you had best tell me the truth, the whole truth, who is on the island?"

Suddenly, Peter looks at me and gives me a look.

My head snaps to the right and i see a figure, watching us in the distance.

I snap my fingers as I imagine the fire growing.

Just a so had thought the fire pit between Pan and I and the person lights. I was beginning to get the hang of wish for anything and it will be yours in Neverland.

My eyes gaze at the figure, the light illuminating the persons face.

"The dark one, what can we do for you?" I address the person.

"I'm here for Pan" He says and i smile

"Oh, i know you are, but unfortunately we kind of come in a pair" I say as Peter stands beside me

Suddenly i feel a presence behind a nearby tree and i throw fire at the torch next to it.

"You can come on out Baelfire" Peter says and i look at him as i look back at the tree, seeing Bae immerge

"Bae?" I ask in shock, not believing the grown man in front of me is my brother

"Hey, Kirra" He says and i smile, breathing out in shock

"I thought you were dead" I say and he laughs

"You can't kill me that easily" He says

"You knew he was here, didn't you?" I say as i look at Peter and he nods "you told me he was taken back by his Father- out of Neverland"

"I did. I knew he was here but i knew that it would be much sweeter for you if you could reunite with him now, after you kill the dark one that is" He says and i smile

"Wait, you can't kill him!" Bae says and i look at him, confused

"I think you are forgetting how he abandoned you" I say to him as i stretch my arrow out again.

"I think you're forgetting who kidnapped you" He says as he looks at Peter and i re-direct my arrow from facing the dark one to now point at Bae

"Kirra, what are you-"

"-You kill Peter, Bae, and i will kill your entire family" I say to him and he looks shocked, until Peter comes and places his hand on my shoulder.

I hesitate before i lower my weapon

"You're with him?" He asks me

"I guess I am. That's what everyone keep telling me anyway, but I'm not going to deny how I am happier here" I say as i look at Bae with a few lingering tears in my eyes "Everyone i ever love leaves me, my Dad left me, my Mother died.. even you. When your Father came and took you back to his house, not once did you say to take me with you two, not once did the thought cross your mind of bringing your own best friend with you, out of here. Yes, i am so glad that you didn't because i would have never got to stay with Peter, but at the time it was the last straw and you, you cut it in half" I say as i let a tear fall. "So forgive me for liking Peter, but at least he's sticking around!" I shout.

Bae sighs "I didn't want to have to do this" he whispers

"What are you-"

Suddenly Bae fires an arrow at me and it scrapes my arm, I look down at the wound before i look at him.

I look besides me to see Peter holding an arrow, having stopped it from hitting his chest, as well.

Peter and I freeze, involuntarily, as we feel the nightshade poison enter our bodies.

I realise quickly that the tip of the arrow fired into my arm had the poison on and Bae must have coated the whole of Peters arrow in the substance- knowing that he would stop it before it hit him allowing for his plan to still work as the nightshade seeps into his skin through his hand.

I watch as Bae and the dark one rush over to Henry, sleeping next to the other lost boys and they take him.

"And even now, you are taking people away from me" I manage to stutter out even as my face stays frozen due to the spell.
