The four of them walked into a dark, scary part of the island. Dream jumped at the sound of crows when she looked around at the dead trees. The wind blew in their direction, making the flame in the lanterns go out.
"The Dark Hollow," Neal said, keeping close to his sister.
"This is where the victims of Pan's shadow reside?" Hook asked Neal, following behind Emma.
"Yeah. Forced to spend eternity in the darkness. Come on. Let's be sure not to join them." Neal said, looking at Dream, who looked almost green from being scared. Neal stopped them at a big, empty clearing.
"So, we just wait for Pan's shadow to show up?" Dream asked Neal.
"Yeah. And when it does, we'll be prepared." Neal said, taking the coconut out of his bag.
"Wanna tell us how that coconut works?" Emma asked him.
"We light the candle, and the shadow's drawn to it. When it gets close enough, the flame will suck it in." Neal explained, taking off one half of the coconut and setting it on a broken branch. "We put the lid on, and it's trapped inside this bad boy." He continued as Dream and Emma wrapped their arms around them as the wind kept getting colder.
"Sounds like a fine plan except for one thing. Our lanterns went out. How the devil are we going to ignite that bloody thing?" Hook asked Neal, setting the lantern in his hand down.
"Welcome to the 21st century," Neal smirked, holding up a lighter. He kept trying to light it while Emma stayed close to Dream.
"How's it coming over there, guys?" Emma asked them as Neal seemed to be having trouble with the lighter.
"Let me help." Hook offered, trying to grab the lighter from Neal.
"I got it." Neal fought, still trying to light the candle wick.
"I've only got one hand, and I could do better than that."
"Now's not the time to try to impress my sister." Neal scoffed, making Emma and Dream look at them.
"Oh, you think that's what I'm doing?" Hook scoffed out a chuckle.
"Really? You're doing this now?" Emma scoffed at both of them as Dream noticed the wind picking up.
"You heard Emma. Are we gonna stand here and argue, or are we gonna get the candle lit?" Hook scoffed, pushing Neal to the side, trying to use the lighter.
"Harder than it looks, huh, pal? Let me see it." Neal said, trying to grab the lighter from Hook, causing the two grown men to fight like kids in a sandbox.
They ended up throwing the lighter into a hole in the trunk of a tree.
"Guys, we don't have time for this." Emma scoffed as the two walked over to try and find the lighter. Emma grabbed the coconut before Dream took out her sword when Pan's shadow appeared. "We really don't have time for this. Is that Pan's shadow?" Emma asked, grabbing the sword from Dream and moving the younger girl behind her.
"Yeah. It's Pan's shadow." Neal said as he and Hook turned to see three shadows.
"What about the other two?" Hook asked as the shadows charged toward them.
"He's controlling them!" Neal yelled as the four of them tried to dodge the shadows.
"Hook!" Dream yelled out when one of the shadows grabbed Hook pinning him to a tree.
"Emma!" Neal yelled as another shadow pinned him to the opposite tree.
Emma moved her and Dream down, dodging the shadow as Dream started to panic.
