Peter, still in Henry's body, brought the sleeping Wendy back into the RV.  He laid her down on the bed and softly kissed her forehead.  Then, he opened the door to leave the RV.  As he did this, he was grabbed and a hand was put over his mouth.  Then, he was hit on the head with something that felt like a stone and he immediately blacked out.

Peter woke up in the middle of the forest with two men staring at him.  They were Wendy's brothers, John and Michael.  As Peter continued to analyze them, he noticed a sleeping figure lying on the forest floor in front of him.  It was Wendy.  They had found her.  Peter didn't know what to do.  He tried his magic, but for some reason it didn't work.  His hands and feet were respectively tied together.  There was a rag tied over his mouth.  There was nothing he could do.   This reminded him of when Captain Hook had taken his former lover, Tigerlily, hostage.  She was exactly like him at the time.  Tied up.  Helpless.  Peter had never felt this helpless since he was Malcolm, Rumple's stupid father.  That's how he felt.  Not just helpless, but stupid.  He was Peter Pan.  He was better than this. He was - cut off by Michael. 

"What is wrong with you?" Michael asked, disgusted.

"You took Wendy once, held her captive for so many years, and now you want her again?" John asked.

"Don't you think you have had your share of time with our sister?" Michael questioned.

John opened his mouth to interrogate Peter once more, but not before Felix jumped out of the tree that Peter was propped up against.  He swooped down and landed on top of Michael.  He then got up and pulled a dagger out of his belt and threw it at John.  The blade went into the tree right behind John, but not before slicing off his left ear.  John cried in pain and held his ear while Michael laid there, unconscious.  Felix ran to Peter and started untying him while John slowly made his way towards the two boys.  But as soon as John reached the boys, Felix hit John's leg and John fell, hitting his head on a boulder.  Felix continued to untie Peter while Peter stared at him with wide eyes.  As soon as Peter was untied, he got up, grabbed Wendy, and the two boys ran off towards the well.  

It was time to cast The Dark Curse.
