Pan took one of his arrows and smeared poison on it.

     "What's that?" Bae asked with fear in his voice.

     "Dreamshade." I answered shooting Pan a deadly glare. I could even see his evilness behind those forest green, beautiful eyes. "It's a nasty poison."

     "You learn fast, lost girl." Pan said smirking and I sighed, annoyed. "There's a story about a man who shot an apple on his son's head with an arrow."

     Pan placed the arrow on the crossbow.

     "Let's find out if it's possible."

     "If you're shooting the apple, what's the poison for?" Baelfire questioned and I immediately figured out the answer.

     "It motivates you not to miss." I stated, and Pan grinned at me.

     "Exactly." he said. "Felix! Get over here."

     Felix stood up and walked towards Pan.

     "Why are you doing this? Again?" I asked him coldly, but he ignored me and looked at Baelfire.

     "Sienna showed us what she could do." Pan said and Felix shot me a smirk from behind him. I looked away, avoiding his gaze. "Now, it's your turn." Pan gave Baelfire the crossbow and I shot him a warning look.

     "But... I don't wanna shoot." Bae replied and I felt terribly bad for him.

     Pan threw the apple and Felix caught it as the Lost Boys started shouting louder and louder.

     "Shoot!" they chanted as Felix walked backwards. When he reached a far distance enough, he stopped. "Shoot!"

     Baelfire lifted the crossbow, his arms trembling, switching it to Felix's head.

     "Trust yourself" Pan said. "Go on. It's exhilarating!"

     Bae shot me a scared look, begging for help. I could see in his eyes the same fear I was feeling when Pan and the Lost Boys were pressuring for me to attack Jack with the dagger. I did it once. And I was not going to let it happen again, even though Felix was the target this time.

     "Stop it!" I yelled with anger raising in my voice as I spoke. "He is not going to shoot."

     Baelfire looked at me, confused.

     "He's not?" Pan smirked deviously. "Well, somebody has to shoot then." I glared at him, waiting for the worst. "And if he's not, you will." And there it was.

     "I will not." I snapped at him. Pan got his crossbow back and gave it to me.

     "And Baelfire will be your target." Pan continued ignoring my comment. Baelfire paled instantly, but he tried to defend himself this time.

     "I won't!" he shouted angrily. "You can't make us!"

     "Actually, I can." Pan chuckled, caught Felix's apple and handed it to Baelfire. "Take it." Pan's eyes latched on Baelfire's as he took the apple unwillingly and walked backwards. The Lost Boys were silent now. Perhaps they were beginning to be aware of what I was able to do.

     "Sienna," Bae started, and looked at me warningly. "I don't know what's –"

     "I know." I interrupted him. I sighed deeply and lifted the crossbow. Actually, I did know how a crossbow worked. And I had an exceptional aim.
Then, it hit me.
