EVIDENCE

After Pan and I had that interesting conversation. He magiced us to a clear area in the woods where dozens of boys were. All different ages ranking from 5 to 16. Of course I assume most of them are older than they seem.

"Pan, Captain Hook is on his way towards camp. He doesn't look happy." An older boy informs Pan with a slight grin.

"Thank you, Felix. I'd like to introduce you to our new guest. This is Evidence, my granddaughter." Pan said smirking to Felix.

"Enough with the formalities! I need to know you'll keep that tongue of yours down around Hook. I might be related to you but only through blood!" I grit my teeth grabbing Pan by his shirt collar.

"You've got fire. I like fire." He grins. 

I push him away and stand back

I push him away and stand back. "I'm leaving." I say bring up my hands to poof myself away but nothing happens. "What the...?!"

Pan chuckles. "Look at your wrist."

I pull up my sleeves to see a leather cuff. "Why can't I take it off?! What is this?!" I shout in panic.

"It blocks magic. So right now you are like a clawless kitten, perfectly harmless. Felix, put her in a cage next to the other one." A few of the older boys hold me down as I struggle than Felix blows dust into my face causing me to get drowsy and tired. I loathe poppies unless I'm using them against other people. 

My body goes limp and I'm dragged into a small cage made of bamboo. My head is pounding but I can't move to keep it from hitting the wall of the cage as they lift it up with a vine so I'm hanging up in a tree. I whimper wishing I had stayed in Wonderland where it was safe from everyone but my mother. 

"Please...help..." I whisper unable to raise my voice, both from fear and my body feeling weak. I can feel the cuff draining my power keeping me weak. My eye lids droop and I fall unconscious. 

 "What have you done to her?! Evi, can you hear me? Luv, wake up." I hear Hook's voice as he caresses my face with his hand, holding me in his arms. 

"Hook... we need to get out of here." I whisper opening my eyes and having trouble focusing right. The poppies are still in my system but not as strong as they once were. If I had my magic I could poof us away. 

"Call me Killian, luv." He said gently as he helped me get on my feet. 

"I just knocked her out with some poppies and kept her from using magic. You should thank me Captain. She's been keeping a deadly secret from you. One that I'm sure you'll have a particular interest in." Pan smirks and winks at me with a mischievous glint in his green eyes. 

"No! Killian don't listen to him!" I beg pulling at his shirt trying to drag him back towards the ship. My mind was finally clear and I was not about to let Pan blab my secret.
