Only in Neverland EDITING

Chapter 11 Henry!

Later all of the boys including my brother and Pan are gone. Since there not here, I don't really feel like leaving. Plus all the boys are in the forest. So if I ran into one, I'd be screwed.

Soon all the boys slowly start to come back. I watch as Felix, Pan and Luke come back. I see that Luke's carrying something, or someone.

"Henry!" I yell jumping up.

"Whoa." Pan says grabbing me, stopping me from getting any closer.

"Henry!" I yell, struggling against Pan.

"Slow down, he's sleeping, and he won't wake up for a few hours, when the spell wears off."

I watch as Luke sets Henry down. Pan let's go of me and I rush over to Henry. "Oh, Henry." I whisper.

"He's not going to wake up for a few hours yet." Pan tells me again.

"Yeah, I heard you the first time you told me." I snap.

Later Pan makes a weird bird like sound waking Henry up. "Wake up." He says walking over. He throws what looks like an apple at us.

"Catch."

Henry looks between the apple, Pan, and then me. "I don't like apples." I nod agreeing. Pan gives us a curious look.

"Who doesn't like apples?"

"It's a family thing."

"Well don't worry, they're not for eating. It's for a kind of game, a really fun game, I call it target practice." He says lifting the crossbow in his hand up to Henry's chest.

Pan walks away motioning for us to follow him. "What's that?" Henry asks as we watch Pan dip the tip of the arrow in something.

"Dream shade." Pan explains. "It's a nasty poison." Pan blows on the arrow. "We have a story here about a man who once shot an apple off his son's head with an arrow, let's find out if it's possible."

"If you're shooting at the apple, what's the poison for?" Henry asks.

"Motivation not to miss. Felix! Get over here." Pan yells.

As Felix comes over Pan pushes me back and I feel hands clamp down on my shoulders. "Behave love." Pan whispers in my ear. He then looks over me at Luke.

"If she causes any delay, take her to the cages." He says and then walks away.

"Behave." Luke hisses in my ear. "I don't feel like dragging your ass to the cages."

"As Pan walks back to Henry. "Is- is Felix good?"

"Doesn't matter," Pan tells him. "You're the one doing the shooting."

"But- I- I- don't want to shoot." He says shaking his head.

The lost boys began to chant, much to my annoyance Luke included, "Shoot, shoot, shoot..."

"You won't hit him." Pan yells over the lost boy's chanting. Trust yourself, it's exhilarating. Felix puts the apple on his head and joins the chanting, "Shoot, shoot, shoot..."

Then Pan joins, "Shoot, shoot, shoot." Then silence. Henry goes to shoot at Felix, but at the last second he turns for Pan. He shoots, but Pan catches it inches away from his chest

All the lost boys cheer as Luke let's me go. I walk over by Pan. "Told you it was exhilarating." Pan as Henry sighs. "Come on, I have something I want to show you."

Pan leads Henry, while I just follow. "Look at the fun they're having." Pan says as I watch Felix leave camp. "The thing of this place Henry, is that no one ever tells you no. You can do what ever you want." That's bull crap.

"They never hurt themselves?" Henry asks.

"Oh all the time." Pan says chuckling. "At one point I had four boys with missing fingers. Cost of the game, they didn't mind."

Henry changes the subject. "I don't belong here."

"Actually you do. We've been waiting for you a very, very long time Henry. Long before you were even born."

"I don't believe that." Henry tells him. Pan just smirks at him.

"You should." Pan tells him getting serious. "This place runs on imagination, on belief, but you won't stop believing. Magic is dying and you Henry, need to save it." Wait, magic's dying? What does that mean?

"In my world you mean?" Henry asks.

"In every world." Pan responds. "You need to bring it back. That's your destiny, to return the magic, to be the savior."

"My mom's the savior, not me."

"She broke some curse yeah," Both Henry and I look at him curiously. How does he know that? He notices our confused looks. "Oh, I know more than you think, but what if breaking the curse wasn't what made her the savior, what if having you was? Think about it, you were descended from the greatest of light and of dark. What? You think it was a coincident that the spawn of the dark one met you mother. You were created for a reason, and I can help you find it."

"So you think that I'm suppose to save magic?" Henry asks.

"I don't think, I believe. Remember I said I have something to show you, here." He hands Henry a rolled up piece of paper. "I've hand this for a very long time, long before you were even thought of. Take a look and you'll see why I'm so sure you're the hero that magic's been waiting for."

Henry takes the picture as Pan turns away. He takes a look at the roll of paper, and then throws it on the ground without opening it. "I don't believe you." Henry tells him. Pan turns around and smirks at him.

"You remind me of your father." He says walking away.

As soon as Pan I rush over to Henry. "Henry..." I whisper as we hug.

"Alexis... are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Do you believe him?"

"I don't know."

Henry reaches behind us, and quickly garbs the paper. He unrolls it, and we both grasp. The picture looks exactly like Henry.
