Counting Stars

Chapter 24

Leo's P.O.V.

It was still late at night. I was positive that the Lost Boys and Pan were asleep before I was able to sneak out of camp. I was going to find some... possible accomplices.

I figured it out. I know how to get Pan out of the job and take over Neverland. Something that he has seem to have forgotten is that love is weakness. Pan himself taught us that lesson. Now, it's time to reteach that lesson to the teacher.

Juliette is dying. And she is dying quickly. It won't be long now until the dream shade reaches her heart. Pan, being a little love sick dog, will do whatever it takes to save her. That's why she will be the center of the plan. If I have her and prevent Pan from saving her, then he will literally kneel to me to get Juliette back. The best part is that Pan trust me to watch over Juliette. It's actually the perfect plan. And like I said, I'm not afraid of Pan nor of his magic.

After some time of walking, I make it to my destination. I don't even need to see to know where I am. I can hear it. It's the sound of a for once sober pirate rambling about a plan to take down Pan. I don't know what he is saying, but I just know whatever it is, that it won't work.

I stand behind all of them for my own amusement. It was funny to see those with no brain power whatsoever to try and outsmart someone who was pretty intelligent himself.

I get bored easily, though. After listening to some rambling, I find it best to step in.I cough a little to get their attention. They all just turn around and look at me. They don't even do anything. Just look at me. "Sorry, am I interrupting something?" I ask sarcastically with a little laugh.

Hook just looks around at all his men dumbfounded at the fact that they aren't doing anything to me. "Are you all blind?" He asked. "He is a Lost Boy. Get him!"

They get out of the daze that they seemed to be trapped in and came to me. I didn't move. It didn't scare me. I knew what I was doing. "I promise, I come in peace." I say, holding up my hands to show I have no weapons. They pirates stop running towards me.

"And why should I believe you, lad?" Asked Hook.

"Because you want Pan dead, and so do I." I could see I wasn't convincing him. "And I know how to kill him."

I could tell by his idiotic expression that I had his attention. "How?"

"You just take away the one thing that makes happy and you kill him from the inside."

"Okay, how do we do that?"

"So is that it?" I ask him. "Are we going to work together?"

He thought about it for a minute. I know I probably am less trustworthy than Pan, but I really need this deal. Then, he just stuck out his good hand and we shook on it. "So what do we do?"

"I'm sure you have met that girl Pan has brought to Neverland, Juliette?"

"So that is her name?" He asked. "Well, it's befitting. She is a beautiful young girl." He wasn't wrong.

"Well, she is dying. And after seeing how Pan is around her, he will do whatever it takes to keep her alive."

"So?"

"So we prevent him from saving her. And then he will be powerless trying to save her."
