Amelia paces the deck dressed in a knee-length black dress covered in lace. Her curly hair hangs down over her face as the wind blows it back and forth. As she cries, black mascara run down her face. Hook holds Amelia's shaking hand in his own large, strong hand. "I gave her a replica of my locket, but in the form of a bracelet charm. She has it with her, wherever she is. I just wish we could find her," Amelia says as she cries into Hook's chest.

Rose sits at a campfire surrounded by drunk Lost Boys. They play their songs with strange instruments and dance around the fire. Felix approaches her, obviously very drunk. "Hey. You look... Ravishing... We should," he slurs as he speaks,"We should... Oh look... It's a... Tree... And another... And another..." He looks at her and leans in for a kiss.
"Um, down boy. I never kiss on the first date. I mean I have, but I prefer not to,"Rose says as he smirks drunkenly. Felix grabs her arms and throws her to the ground, pulling at her shirt. "You're mine now," He angrily says as she squirms beneath his grip. Across the fire, Pan sees Rose on the ground. He hears her distant cries for help. Filled with random anger, Pan knocks Felix to the ground and repeatedly punches him.
After Felix runs off, Pan immediately walks over to Rose. "You've been here for five days and you're already driving my boys insane," he says jokingly as he helps her to her feet. Rose dusts herself off,"Thank you, Pan." Pan smiles at her. She wears her hair braided to the side. The only makeup she wears is eyeliner and mascara with a touch of Chapstick. On her body are simple Lost Boy clothes, a loose forest green blouse with darker green pants that tighten around the ankles as skinny jeans do. Rose wears green flats with leaf accents along the side.
Pan gave her a wardrobe that consists of the same basic outfit everyday with the occasional different shade of green or brown. "It was nothing. You have a big fight tomorrow... Can't get raped before it... Maybe after though," Pan laughs with Rose as he walks her to her tent. As she walks to the door, Pan says awkwardly,"Oh, and good luck with the fight tomorrow. I mean it. A small tip, choose a bow and a bag of arrows as your weapon of choice. Find a weak spot, focus, and strike. Breathe before making a move. Some would say go slow... Don't.
The key is to stay calm, showing your opponent that you're not afraid. Move quick, shoot at the stomach so it will hit your opponent between the chin and abdomen as you move. Goodnight." Rose smiles,"Thanks. Goodnight Pan." She steps inside as he walks away.

Morning sunlight shoots through the arena as Pan walks Rose down to the weapon's trough. "What is your weapon of choice?" He asks her with a hopeful look in his eye. "I want a bow and three arrows," she answers with a spark of confidence in her tone. Pan looks at her concerned, "Rose, the amount of arrows you choose now are the only arrows you can take into battle." Rose shakes her head. "Fine. Just take this one. My sister was to be given it on her eighteenth birthday, but we... We were separated when she was a baby. If you win with it, I'll find her again," Pan says as he places a golden arrow in her open hand. He wraps his slender fingers around her small, cold hand to enclose her petite fingers around the arrow. "Good luck," he whispers. Rose nods and walks to the center of the arena.
Rose stands on a mound in the center of the ring. A door on the other side opens, exposing a blonde girl. The girl is her age, she wears a baby blue ball gown with white bows along the bottom. Her stockings come up, underneath the skirt of her dress.
She wears black flats with small bows on the toes. Rose looks at her face. The girl opens her eyes. "Red eyes?" Rose whispers to herself terrified. When the girl steps up to the mound, the Lost Boys begin to yell,"Kill Wendy! Kill Wendy!" Two little boys, dressed in tattered pajamas, stand behind Wendy. They are in chains. The youngest of the two holds a little brown Teddy Bear close to his chest. "You kill Wendy, you save the boys. Wendy kills you, all three perish!" A Lost Boy yells as the fight commences. Wendy pulls a sword from behind her back and runs at Rose. She quickly steps aside as Wendy blindly falls to the ground. "That's it. She's clumsy!" Rose says to herself as she positions herself correctly with Pan's bow.
