It was silent for a while, nobody said anything, Cecelia momentarily forgot how to breath. Then it processed in everyone's mind what had just happened.
"You idiot!" Cecelia shouted as she attacked Pan, pointlessly hitting him repeatedly until one of the Lost boys pulled her away.
"No, let her go." Pan ordered the boy, he let go of her and walked away, knowing not to question him. "Please tell me you can heal her." Pan almost begged Cecelia.
"I can't because you've taken that from me!" She told him, he sighed and looked down at Alex who was getting paler.
"I know I'm going to regret this but if I give it back to you will you heal her?" He asked, Cecelia let out a breath in order to calm herself.
"Yes, I may need a bit of practice but I'll be able to do it." She assured him, Pan paused for a moment before taking something out of his pocket. It was a round piece of glass that looked like a stone, it was flashing a light blue colour. He threw it on the ground and the glass smashed into pieces. Hook looked suspiciously wondering what it was and why Cecelia wanted it back so much. A small ball of light began floating into the air, as it went up it got bigger and it paused in front of Cecelia's chest. She took a deep breath before reaching out to grab it and shot it straight into her chest. She gasped as she felt a surge of electricity run through her, it only last a few seconds, after that she felt great.
"What was that?" They heard the blond girl ask, Cecelia turned around and smiled at her.
"That, love, was my power, the most important thing to me, it makes me who I am." She told her, the girl was gobsmacked.
"Which is what?" Hook asked immediately after, Cecelia turned to him and glared. She clicked her fingers and suddenly the ropes around him got tighter, she was still angry at him.
"I'm a witch, dumbass," He frowned at her tone, not letting his bother of the ropes show. "Told you you'd want me on your team." She waved her had and the ropes began to loosen, he was free.
"Can we just get back to helping Alexandria?" Pan asked, he was really worried about her. The blond girl couldn't help but feel angry at how worried he was about Alex and how he didn't care about her anymore. Cecelia knelt down beside Alex and put her hand over the wound and her other hand on Alex's forehead.
"Please let this work." She mumbled to herself, she closed her eyes and imagined the wound closing over and Alex waking up. After a minute or two she opened her eyes hoping that it worked. But it didn't. "No, no, no! Come on, Cece!" She pushed at herself to do it right.
"Maybe you should try again later, I mean you've just gotten your powers back, shouldn't that mean they have to settle in or something?" The blond girl suggested, Cecelia hadn't thought of that.
"Shut up!" Pan ordered then looked at Cecelia, "try again." He told her, she shook her head.
"It's pointless, she's right, I have to wait for the magic to, as she said, 'settle in' before I can do anything huge like healing." Cecelia explained, Pan sighed.
"And how long will that take? Probably days." He complained, she shook her head once again.
"It depends on how long you've been without it." She told him, he sighed in frustration and carried Alex into his arms.
"Well while you're waiting I'm taking Alex somewhere where she can relax." He said before he turned and walked away.
"Where is he taking her?" Cecelia asked the girl, when Pan was gone.
"Probably where he took me first, there's a house not so far from here, it's in a tree and it's lovely there." She told her, Cecelia frowned.
"I'm going." She announced and walked in the direction Pan went, Hook grabbed her arm and she turned around. "What?" she demanded.
"I'm coming with you, we're a team remember?" He told her, she pushed him back. "What was that for?"
"We are not a team, you decided that when you said I meant nothing to you." She spoke with anger in her voice, the blond girl started to walk away, not wanting to get involved with them.
"You know I didn't mean that, it's Pan, you have to say these things to him otherwise he'll use the truth for his own entertainment." Hook tried to explain, but Cecelia wasn't buying it.
"Oh yeah? And what is the truth? That you actually want me on your team now that you know I'm a Witch?" She asked, he opened his mouth to say something then decided against it.
"No, trust me, I've never paired up with anyone, I've never needed help, but I said yes to your offer. I don't know, maybe it was because I thought you could help, which you did, but there's something about you." He told her, she rolled her eyes and shook her head before turning around and walking away. Hook didn't try and catch her though, he sighed and watched her leave. He leaned against the tree for a few moments before he decided he was going to forget about Cecelia and do what he came to do. He took his sword in hand and headed in the direction Cecelia went.
"Look out, Pan, cause I'm coming to get you." He growled, as his anger began to rise the closer he got to the tree.
Cecelia was turning corners, walking through bushes, on paths, but there was no way she could find her way to the tree.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me." She mumbled to herself, she sat down on the ground to regain her strength. As she sat she thought about her powers, it was weird having them back, she felt so powerful, before that she never realised how vulnerable she felt. She wondered if her powers had began to settle down. Then she gasped and smiled before getting up. She remembered her mother teaching her a bunch of spells when she was younger. There was one that was very difficult but she used to be able to do it, before she came to Neverland. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, praying it would work. She began to mumbled something under her breath, it was in Latin. Then, she felt it, the air rushed past her and her whole body went numb. The next thing she knew her feet hit the ground with a loud thud and she opened her eyes. She was in front of the tree.
"I see your powers have 'settled in'." A voice interrupted her moment of glee, she sighed.
"Yes, Pan, they have, oh and for the record, I'm doing this for Alex not for you." She told him as she pushed past him and through a door to where Alex was laying on a bed, looking as if she was asleep.
"She looks so calm, for a change." She heard Pan mumble under his breath, she tried to suppress a smile. It was true, Alex rarely ever calmed down, maybe because in Neverland she was always in edge but Cecelia always wondering if Alex was like that all the time.
"Well, let's hope this works." Cecelia sighed, she placed a hand on Alex's forehead and the other hovered over the wound. She closed her eyes, took deep breaths, and began to mumble a spell. She heard Pan gasp, she didn't open her eyes though, she couldn't divert her concentration. Suddenly Alex gasped and sat upright on the bed.
"ALEX!" Cecelia exclaimed, she went to hug Alex but saw how weak she was. "You should rest for a while to build your strength back up." She advised, Alex nodded.
"Wait how, what?" Alex breathed out, she couldn't comprehend anything that was going on.
"I'll explain later, main thing is that you're alive and resting." Cecelia promised, Alex turned and looked at Peter.
"Get out." She ordered, his smile dropped.
"Hey, I'm the reason you're still alive! I gave Cecelia her powers back for you!" Pan exclaimed, Alex rolled her eyes.
"You're also the reason I almost died, again!"
"I'm not leaving." He told her, Alex looked at Cecelia for assistance. Cecelia pointed a finger at him and he went flying backward toward the door. He flew back first into the door, he groaned in pain on the ground. Then the door burst open, Pan moved out of the way in time, but not quick enough.
"PETER LOOK OUT!" They heard Alex scream, but Pan was stabbed. Hook had finally done it, he finally killed Pan.
