     "You can't do this!" Penny yelled still unsure if she could trust Henry. If he was playing a part he was very convincing, almost too convincing. "Peter Pan won't die that easy and neither will I!" She screamed out to them. A warning scream to those who had not been captured, who still hid in their hiding spot awaiting what was to come. As they passed, Penny saw their little eyes glowing from above wanting to help, needing to help somehow. "Stay away," she demanded mainly to her troops but the pirates thought it funny that Penny thought they would take orders from her.

"Tink? What is it?" Peter was barely able to keep his eyes open, as he felt Tinkerbells wings flutter against his face. "What do you mean Penny is in trouble?" Peter tried to sit up but he couldn't, but he needed to. He fell to the floor rolling off the bed and crushing one of Darla's books. Katniss came up and licked Peter's pale face. After all this time Katniss was still a kitten and this five pound little ball of fluff was going to be the only family Penny had left if Peter died... but Peter couldn't think like that now, he needed to get the cure and everything would be okay.

"Come out, come out Peter Pan," Hook howled as he yanked open a tree house door to examine inside. Once no Peter was found he torched the tree house, dumping his bottle of rum across the floor as he exited, the wooden treehouse went up in flames instantly. "Peter, I have your little daughter, come out, come out..."

"Daddy run!" Penny screamed as she kicked and kicked, wiggling to try and get free.

"Penelope," Peter whimpered, and with that small noise Hook slammed his way through the house kicking Katniss out of the way. Her squeal of pain radiated to Penny as she cried out.

"Don't hurt my cat, you monster!"

"Yeah, don't hurt the cat-" Peter turned slightly but was pulled off the floor and dragged out of the room before he could think to find Katniss.

"My boy is going to kill your girl..." he pointed his hooked hand at Henry then to Penny. "Then I'm going to feed her to the crocodiles and then you are doing to be their dessert." Hook looked pleased as he held Peter's head just inches from the fire.

"Please God," Penny started to pray as Henry walked towards her knife held out, "please." As Penny prayed she wondered if prayers worked if you never went to church, if you didn't really know if this man in the sky was real. She had read her mom's books and Darla had believed, Penny should believe too. "Don't let him die." Penny didn't care for herself and her safety because if she were to survive this and she didn't have Peter then she didn't have anyone. "Please God, my mother believed you were good, prove to me that you are more than a parent stealing monster."

"Well? What are you waiting for? End her!" Hook screamed dropping Peter down, face first on the gravel.

"I was just waiting for the right moment," Henry said lowering his weapon but still holding the hilt tightly.

"For what?" Hook bit out as he turned in a slow circle preparing for an attack.

"You told me Mom was dead."

"She is," Hook said sternly whipping back around to Henry. "Why are you bringing this up now? Kill her!" He demanded charging Henry, but definitely he raised his knife at Hook.

"She is not dead, you lied to me." Hook held up a hand. Hook's acting skills were nothing, Henry saw past all his lies.

"Who told you such lies?" He sputtered.

"All this time my mother was alive and in..." he looked to Penny.

"Illinois," she screamed still trying to wiggle free.
