Henry POV:

What happened?
Henry opened his eyes to see that he was lying on the forest floor. Everything around him was still and quiet, it was very unusual for that to happen in Neverland.

Did I die? No, I couldn't have, I don't remember dying.
He lifted his hand and slowly pushed himself into a sitting position. He looked down at his hands and body and noticed something was different.

Why is my hand so different and why have I gotten taller?
He walked over to a puddle nearby and saw a that he had Pan's face and body. He ran his hands through his hair in a panic, he didn't know what to do.

I can't believe this! I've turned into Pan! What is Lily going to-
Henry recalled Lily being tortured mercilessly in both mind and body. He looked around frantically, he remembered she was hurt and dying! She had nearly bested Pan in a battle, but then Pan cheated and bound her to the tree with magic. While she was bound, Henry could do nothing to stop him because he was trapped in a paralysis curse. The last thing that Henry remembered was Pan letting her hit the ground. Where was she now and was she okay?

Henry looked around frantically for Lily, she might of been hurt or worse, dead. Henry tried to ignore these thoughts when he heard a choking sound from behind a tree. Henry ran to where the sound was coming from and up against the tree sat Lily in a bloody pile choking to death on her own blood. When Pan pinned her shoulder to the tree, he had gotten too close to her vital organs. Pan had ended up severing several of Lily's major arteries and veins and had sliced through a bit of her lung.

"H-Henry!" She whispered to the air. She was temporarily blind due to the head trauma from when the fell from the treetops. This meant that she couldn't see Henry in Pan's body

"H-Henry, is this the end? You and I sitting here?" She spoke as if Henry was sitting in front of her.

Henry dropped to his knees and tears started pouring down his cheeks. He didn't know how to answer her. He didn't want this to be the end. Lily reached out to him and held his hand. It was like she could see past his skin and into his true self. She was still blind from the head trauma, but she spoke to him as she would normally.

"Henry, why can't we go on more adventures?" She coughed up a bit of blood as she said this. "I still need to know where I came from, this can't be the end yet,"

Henry spoke for the first time with Pan's voice, "This isn't the end yet, I'll find a way. I'll always find you!" Strangely enough, Pan's voice didn't phase her whatsoever, it was still like she saw right through it.

"Henry...you are so strange, you have that weird thing about you that everything eventually goes your way..." Lily's voice faded away just as she finished her sentence.

"You can't leave me yet Lily!" Henry replayed her words that she had just said. Henry then remembered why he cared about her so much. She always believed in him. It was almost as that realization triggered a power inside him greater than he ever felt. His hands glowed bright red and he had the instinct to place them on her forehead. He did so and Lily's wounds began to vanish into thin air. The blood on her shoulder and neck dried up and faded. Henry was awestruck at this power that he now wielded. As soon as all of her wounds closed up, his hands stopped glowing.

Lily, come back to me!

Henry put two fingers under her jaw and felt a pulse again. Lily was alive! With a sigh of relief Henry passed out. He was overjoyed to have saved her and the shock of her nearly dying knocked him out immediately. His head fell near her feet and they both slept peacefully through the night. As soon as Henry collapsed into a deep sleep a peculiar event occurred. Lily's heart started to sparkle and glow gold within her. A bright golden light shone through her skin then faded away after a few moments.

Lily POV:

I saw Henry sitting near me after I fell from the tree. I thought it wasn't possible for me to be sitting in the apartment like this again. I sat up in bed but my whole body ached with pain, especially my right shoulder, I wonder why? Henry talked to me about strange things I'd never heard before. I asked him at one point if this was the end of our adventure. He shook his head no, but it was strange because there were tears in his eyes. He remained silent for awhile, but eventually said "This isn't the end yet, I'll find a way. I'll always find you!". I didn't know what he meant by that. I soon found myself getting very drowsy and falling asleep. Henry cried and cried and I didn't understand why. It was strange after that. I found myself floating on a white cloud. I could see Henry down below crying his eyes out.  I saw ahead of me a gigantic storybook. I was flying toward it quickly and as I went closer, I saw that the words 'This is your true future' written over and over again. I was about to reach the book until a bright, warm red light pressed against my forehead. It made my cloud descend further and further down until I was back in the bed next to Henry. For some reason I was still very tired, and I suppose Henry was too since he laid his head and arms down at the foot of my bed. I remembered how strange this boy was, how he'd risk everything just to find me. He can be so dramatic at times. I suddenly felt my whole body begin to shake. My skin shined a bright gold and I saw golden wisps of magic encircled me then fade away. My eyes promptly closed from exhaustion and I fell into a deep sleep
