I watch as i see Henry approach a tree-hut.
We knew he would sneak out of camp to try to find answers.
I watch as he climbs the ladder and enters the little room where he sees Wendy, lying in the bed.
I watch as he talks to her for a moment and then she coughs and she urges him to leave her.
When Henry leaves Pan and i walk towards into the tree ourselves.
"Great acting" Peter says, sarcastically
"I don't like lying to him" Wendy says as she thinks about Henry.
"Don't think of it as lying" I say to her "Think of it as providing motivation..."
"Motivation for what?" She asks
"Doing what needs to be done" Peter says to her "See Henry has the heart of the truest believer and i need to control that belief" Peter says
"What do you need him to believe in?" She asks
"Me" He answers
"Now back to your cage" I say to her

I walk over to Henry, who is sitting at the base of a tree inside camp.
"You look sad, why?" I ask him
"Peter and you... you're keeping a secret from me" He says and i raise an eyebrow and then i soften
"You found her, didn't you?" I ask him and he nods as he stands up "She dying, she's my sister and Pan... he's helping her but he can't cure her without your help" I say as I talk about Wendy.
Our plan was simple- to use Wendy Darling to make Henry think that people tried on him helping us. Pan had captured Wendy when she had arrived on the island with her brothers a few years ago.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asks me as he thinks about the sick girl.
"Well, i didn't want you to carry the knowledge that my sisters life is on your shoulders, you're the only one that can save her" I say
He looks at the ground and then look at my sad face
"So i really am the only one that can save her and Neverland?" He asks and i nod "Tell me how" he says
"The question isn't how.. it's where... follow me"
