Once Upon a Time: Ever After High (Book 10)

Ch.65 All power

(Flashback) A day has passed since the musketeers got stranded on Skeleton Island, and with nothing to do to pass time, they all laid on the sand with their heads forming a circle as Sirena was distracted by an ant.

"Ants are so strong" she giggled with interest "How could their little bodies pick up so much?"

"Sirena-" Blade spoke up "When is the ship coming?"

"Soon, just keep waiting."

"I don't think I can wait any longer" Arial grunted "It's been 2 hours and still no sign of a ship."

"Patience Arial" Sirena smiled as she floated to her "I'll be here soon, I know because my mermaid friends told me so. All you gotta do is wait and- oh look it's here!"

The musketeers sprang up and looked where she was pointing, and just like she promised, there was a ship in the water heading their way.

"Oh mon Dieu" Arial gasped as they got up.

"See?" Sirena smiled "I told you they were coming."

After the ship managed to make it to shore, a wooden plank was dropped into the sand as Marissa Silver and Christopher Hawkins walked down.

"So-" Marissa smirked at the musketeers "Ye all must be thee ones stranded on this island eh?"

"We are" Antony replied.

"Oh are you French?" she asked with a smile as they all nodded "I've visited France before, it was nice."

"So how did you all get stranded here?" Chris asked.

"You know the pirate Blackbeard?" Blade questioned with a slight frown.

"He stranded you here?" Chris gasped.

"Oui, after helping a prisoner escape."

"That buccaneer" Marissa grunted "Ye know just yesterday he tried to drown me and him."

"Really?" they gasped.

"Aye" she frowned "All for a bloody ring."

"Which she stole from him" Chris added as she smacked his arm.

"Yeah it's never a good idea to steal from a pirate" Sirena advised "Especially Blackbeard. You know he was the cause of my father's death?"

"He was?" everyone gasped.

"Yes" she sighed "Although if it wasn't for him, my ghost father wouldn't of met my mother and I wouldn't be here. So that's like the only good thing that came from Blackbeard."

"Well I would love to get his blood on me sword" Marissa scowled "I would die to get me revenge."

At that point an idea popped in Blade's head.

"Then why don't you?" he questioned.

"What?"

"We all have something against Blackbeard, so why don't we work together to get him back? And at the same time we have an adventure."

"I like the sound of that" Chris commented with a smile.

"But, what about yer home?" Marissa put in.

"It's fine" Antony replied "We don't have to go now. I actually have to agree with Blade, we all love a good adventure."

"Well in that case-" she smiled "You're in luck. How would ye all like to join me crew?"

"Can we?" Arial gasped.

"Aye" she smiled again "We could really use some extra help and company."

"I'm in" Blade raised his hand as the musketeers also agreed.

"Jolly good" Marissa grinned "Welcome to the crew."

Still at Marooner's Rock, everyone couldn't believe their eyes after watching Pan take the Wonderlandians Wonder magic. And Elena could feel his heart drop while looking at her now dead friend.

"No!" she screamed as she ran out from hiding and to Lauren and began to shake her "Lauren!"

At that point the rest of the girls came out from their hiding spots and ran up to the Wonderlandians as Jane aimed her sword at Pan.

"I'm afraid you ladies are too late" he smirked.

The girls found that neither of the Wonderlandians were breathing as they began to panic.

"If ye put that heart in yer chest I swear I'll drive me sword up yer head" Jane growled.

"I like to see you try" he smirked again "Show everyone the pirate you really are. I know deep down you're still the ruthless pirate who didn't give a damn about anyone, not even Piper."

At that point her blood began to boil just as Piper and everyone else arrived and entered the cave.

"Well would you look at this-" Pan grinned "The party's filling up."

Everyone saw what had happened as they stood there in shock while looking down at the Wonderlandians.

"Piper-" Pan suddenly said "I can see you're alive and well."

"Then I guess I can say your deal with Blackbeard is over" Piper frowned.

"I had a feeling he didn't die of a stroke."

"Although I gotta ask, why did you team up with him? What deal did you make?"

"I promised him the Never Diamond in exchange for his help. Looks like he wont be getting his diamond, but-".

He held up his hand that showed the Never Diamond as Chase patted his pocket in shock to find that the diamond was no longer there.

"That doesn't mean I can have it" Pan smirked.

"And what are you planning on doing with it?" Jane frowned.

"Anything I want" he replied casually as he turned to Brenden's heart that was still in his hand "But first, the real fun is about to begin."

At that point Jane poked her sword closer towards his chest as a warning as he began to chuckle.

"Go ahead" he smirked "I wanna see you show everyone who you really are. A black-hearted pirate still hasn't forgiven herself for killing that Abby girl when it was meant for Piper."

At that point Jane had had enough as she swung her hook at him slashing his cheek as he stepped back in pain. Everyone's eyes widen as Pan clutched the bloody slash on his cheek while facing Jane with anger.

"I may not be the pirate I used to be-" she scowled "But I can go back to those who deserve it."

"That was a big mistake" Pan growled "But I don't need to worry."

And with that he punctured the heart into his chest as everyone gasped in shock. With the heart now inside of him, Pan could feel himself becoming more powerful with the Wonder magic. Everyone watched hopelessly as Pan began to hover as the Wonder magic continued to seep into him. And by the time it was finished and Pan lowered himself back down, he was now more powerful. Time was up for everyone.
