                                              Third Person POV 


 Belle, David, Hook, Emma, Mary Margaret and Neal are following Granny on the streets as she sniffs out Henry's location.

"I've got a scent. He's nearby." Granny says 

" The tower?" Mary Margaret says 

All approach the clock tower building as Henry, now back in his original body, runs out from the library.

" It's me, it's me! It worked!" He says 

 He rushes to hug both Emma and Regina.

" Mom, mom... I just saw you guys. You guys just saw me." He says 

" But we didn't see you." Regina says 

" Where's the scroll?" She asked 

" He didn't have it." Henry says 

"What do you mean he didn't have it?" Regina asked 

"He had to have hidden it somewhere." David says 

"No, He doesn't know the land." Hook says 

"Wait a minute who is the one person Pan can trust with anything here?" Neal says 

Everyone pauses 

"Ivy." Emma grumbles 

They are all running looking for Ivy when they spot her outside of Gold's shop, 

"Ivy!" Emma yells only for everyone to stop when Pan walks out of the shop. 


                                     Ivy POV 


Peter freezes everyone one, I am standing next to him, 

Peter places his hand on top of my head, 

"Good work, My flower, Do you have it?" He asked me kneeling in front of me, I hand him the scroll, 

"You did well." He says standing up and looking at everyone 

" Look at you all. A captive audience. I could play with you like a pack of dolls, couldn't I? I think I'll start with these two." Peter says 

He looks at me 

"What do you think?" He asked 

I smile 

"Yes." I say 

 He Walks over to Belle and Neal

" Hmm. You both look so adorable. Hard to tell who to kill first." He says with a smirk

 Shifts his gaze between both of them

" No, it isn't." He says 

 Points to Neal

" You. You first." He says 

I see the dark one approach 

"Peter look out!" I yell

From behind, The dark one clamps a hand on Pan's left shoulder and tugs him away from Belle and Neal.

" Stay away from them." The dark one says 

" How about this? The worm has teeth." Peter says  In a mocking tone

" You're here to protect their "loved ones"." Peter says 

" I'm not gonna let you touch either one of them." The dark one says 

" Oh, I'd like to see that.Right Ivy," Peter says 

"Right." I say with a smile

"Oh, you will. Because I have a job to finish, and I have to do whatever it takes. No loopholes. And what needs to be done has a price. A price I'm finally willing to pay." The dark one says 

He looks at Neal 

" I used the curse to find you, Bae, to tell you I made a mistake. To make sure you had a chance at happiness." The dark one says 

Pan openly laughs at his words.

"And that happiness is possible. Just not with me. I accept that." The dark one says 

" Pretty, pretty words." Peter says 

I nod agreeing 

"I love you, Bae." the dark one says to Neal

 He Looks to Belle

" And I love you, Belle, you made me stronger." The dark one says 

" Stronger?" Peter says

" Yes." The dark one says 

"But still no magic." Peter says 

" Oh, but I don't need it. You see, you may have lost your shadow, but there's one thing you're forgetting." The dark one says 

"And what's that?" Peter says 

 "So have I. I sent it away with something to hide." The dark one says Triumphantly

 He raises his hand into the air; summoning his shadow back with the dagger. As Mr. Gold takes hold of the dagger, the shadow goes back into him. Then, he forcibly holds Pan against himself.

My eyes widen 

I rush to help, 

"No Ivy stay there!" Peter yells

 Peter Struggling to get free

" What are you doing?!" Peter says 

" You see, the only way for you to die, is if we both die. And now... now, I am ready." The dark one says 

 He stabs Pan in the back with the blade, but also impales himself with it in the process. Pan screams in pain while Mr. Gold remains silent.

"Peter!!" I yell

"Rumple, please. You can stop this. Remove the dagger. We can start over.  We can have a happy ending." Peter says  As He smiles

" Ah, but I'm a villain. And villains don't get happy endings." The dark one says 

 He twists the dagger to embed deeper into both their wounds. Peter gasps in agony. A golden light peeks out from the blade and begins to shine even brighter. As Peter stops resisting the inevitable, The Dark one places a kiss on his cheek. The light engulfs them as they both disappear out of existence.

The remaining scroll drops to the floor while the freezing spell on the group wears off. All are visibly in shock over the unexpected turn of events. Belle collapses on the ground in a fit of grief.

I run to the spot Peter just was, 

I drop to my knees, 

"Peter!" I start to cry uncontrollably My hands on the ground and my forehead on top of them as I cry.
