Peter’s POV:

“PETER!” I heard Crystal scream my name from the camp. Felix and I have never run so hard in our lives before, I swear. Breathing hard, I yelled back.

“HANG ON LOVE! WE’RE COMING!” We got to the camp within minutes and I looked around to see the lost boys asleep on the ground, the fire blown out, and Crystal was nowhere in sight. Felix and I searched around the camp five times over and we still didn’t know where she was.

I resorted to calling my shadow.

“Where is she?!” I demanded to know. Nobody was more protective of her than I was. A message came through my head. Rumple and Hook have her… Rumple came and got her while you and Felix were at the tent and Hook was distracting Felix.

Fury swam over my body as I sat down and ran my hands through my hair. Felix slowly walked over and sat beside me, careful not to set me off. Finally after a few moments of silence, he spoke.

“So,” He sighed, “What are we going to do?” I shook my head as tears filled my eyes.

“How…how could I be so stupid as to leave her alone? The boys are vulnerable without me there. Now she’s captured, and it’s my entire fault.” Felix rested a hand on my shoulder.

“We’ll find her. Wake the boys up, and we’ll invade Hook’s ship.” I nodded. That was all I could do at this point. Suddenly, reality hit me as I understood their plan.

My eyes widened and I looked at Felix, “They found out, Felix… they knew she’s my only weakness… they’re holding her hostage so I could go to save her then die like they wanted.”

“So what’re you going to do?” Felix asked earnestly. I thought for a moment, then looked up at Felix, my eyes telling him my answer.

“No, no way Pan! You’re not going to do that!” I shook my head and stood up.

“If it means saving her, then yes, I will.”

Crystals POV:

Hook’s crew had strapped me to the mast and left me there to be interrogated by him and Rumple. The moon was soon covered by black rain clouds, covering the ship like a giant shadow.

Tears ran down my face as I thought about Peter. I rested my head against the mast pole and cried as I looked at the sky where just hours ago we were flying together. I slid down and sat on the deck when I heard Rumple and Hook come out of Hook’s cabin.

Rumple walked up, smiling his devious smile and rubbed his hands together. Hook, I could tell, felt a little bit bad for me. Why, heck if I know.

“So dearie,” Rumple sneered in his nasally voice, “Is Pan coming for you now?” I couldn’t even reply I was crying so much. He walked over and knelt down, grabbing my face with his hand to force me to meet his eyes.

“Oh, tut tut now dearie, he’ll come, won’t he?” The tears rolled down my face and I nodded, scared to do anything else. Rumple smiled and squeezed my face.

“Such belief… such trust…” He turned to Hook, “Isn’t she darling? She believes that her ‘true love’ will come and save her…” I looked at Hook and he gave me an almost sympathetic smile.

“Now, you’re going to do everything we say, yes?” Rumple smiled. I shook my head and spat in his face. He jumped up and wiped his face before smacking mine, leaving a scratch mark that began to bleed.

He pulled back and grinned. Hook walked over and chuckled to himself, “You look like Felix now, Crystal love. Isn’t that adorable?” Felix. My best friend. I just shook my head.
