The last chapter is here. Enjoy!

Their plan was simple; they would strike at night, letting Peter and Sabrina free the lost boys and the Mermaid Queen while Puck distracted the guards. 

But night couldn't come fast enough; the day seemed to drag on; Sabrina and Puck avoided each other at all costs, which made Daphne's comments about their dating increase. 

At last, to Sabrina's great joy, the sunset and the shining moon appeared over the tall trees, telling them it was time to set their plan in action.

"You know exactly what to do?" Uncle Jake asked Peter (again)

"Are you doubting me and my amazing talents" Peter quizzed

"Yup," Uncle Jake answered

"How dare you. I'm amazing, like I just said," Peter boasted

Puck rolled his eyes so far into the back of his head Sabrina was sure he could see his tiny walnut-sized brain.

"Can we just let mother whatever kidnap him already" Puck groaned

"She's not actually going to kidnap him," Daphne said, "she just has to think she is."

"I would like to think that too" Puck said

"Will you stop!" Sabrina said, "why do you hate Peter anyway? What did he do to you?" Sabrina said, stepping up to Puck

"Where do I even begin!" Puck spat

"We're kinda in a time crunch here," Daphne said, "could you save the bickering for later."

Sabrina and Puck both folded their arms across their chests, turned away from each other, and glared back at the other.

"That's just a quieter way of arguing," Daphne pointed out, "But it works. Now let's go save some lost boys!"

"Puck," Uncle Jake said

Puck grunted in acknowledgment

"The camp?" Uncle Jake asked, "take us there."

Puck grunted again and started for the door

"I guess that's a yes" Daphne shrugged, following Puck. Sabrina lagged after them with her uncle leaving Peter alone in the Hangman tree, waiting to be kidnapped.

Puck hovered off the ground letting his pink insect-like wings keep him aloft while he walked far ahead of the Grimm's, who followed him through the dark forest. He held his little wooden sword, prepared to fight anyone who dared. 

They walked in silence, hearing the noises echoing around them. Leaves floated down from the trees, twigs were snapped by wild animals, and crickets chirped through the night as the group made their way through the trees. Daphne clung to Uncle Jake; every little sound made her jump. Sabrina walked beside her Uncle, whipping her head side to side anytime she heard anything. It wasn't a creepy forest; it was the person inside the forest that scared the children, the person who was stealing lost boys to keep her youth; that was the scary part. They came upon the clearing Puck and Sabrina had been the day before, where they had... talked. 

Sabrina glanced up at Puck; he kept his focus straight ahead, but for a split second, he looked towards a certain spot, where they had finished their dance. She looked towards the site too, and they both seemed to remember what exactly happened the day before. They

Continuing through the forest and finally, they saw it. A small camp hidden behind a group of trees. There was hardly anything in the base, three sheet tents and a blazing fire that sat in the middle; around the camp, men stood guard holding swords and daggers (big difference between swords and daggers, one is full since the other is smaller and more compact easier to hide).
