They made it back to their camp and Neal had told them how he got off the island as a boy and that's how they will do it this time.

"Pan's shadow? That's your way off the island?" Emma asked.

"Unfortunately, it's the only way," Neal told her.

"Oh, we thought you learned how to navigate the stars," David said.

"I know how to navigate the stars, but I can't fly," Neal said, "That's where the shadow came in, that's why we have to capture it."

"Capture it? We've never been within 10 feet of Pan unless he wanted us to be. Sneaking up on him to steal his shadow? That sounds insane," Emma said.

"Expect Pan's shadow is rarely with him," Brooke said, "It's an entity itself, it can carry out his will from miles away."

"What does that mean for us?" David asked.

"It means we can get his shadow without having to be anywhere near Pan as long as we know where to look," Brooke said.

"And I know where to look," Neal looked at Brooke, "How do you know that?"

"Do you remember a little girl you saved with Hook?" Brooke asked, "Called Lamb by Pan and Little Lyn by Hook?" She watched him nod, "That's me."

"But that was more than 22 years ago..." Neal said.

"What?" Brooke asked and looked at Hook.

"He's right love... It was more than 22... Before you were born," Hook said.

"Dreams... What can you do with them," She shrugged.

"Okay, now that's cleared up, Brooke, Neal and I are on shadow duty," Emma said.

"As am I, this trek won't be easy. You could use another veteran of the island," Hook said.

"Thanks, man," Neal said.

"Well, in the meantime, we'll give Tinkerbell a heads up see if she can make good on her promise to get us into Pan's camp," David said.

"Okay, we meet back at Tink's, then we get Henry and get the hell off this island," Brooke said and they begin packing their things for when they split up.

Brooke was packing her things and Hook walked to her, "Feeling better now you told them?" He asked her.

Brooke looked at him and smiled a little, "Yeah, I would have preferred to be home with a lot of wine and never having to be on this island, but beggars can't be choosers," She said.

Brooke, Emma, Neal and Hook were inside Neal's cave. Neal was looking was something.

"Something tells me we won't find Pan's shadow in here, mate," Hook said.

"Yeah, well, we're looking for something else. It's a... It's a coconut, it's carved in two, one part holds a candle and the other part goes on top," He explained.

"Yeah, your star map. We hid it, I'll go grab it," Emma said and ran out of the cave.

Brooke was looking at his markings again, "We'll get off this island," Neal told her and patted her head, "Promise."

"I know... But it's scarier knowing I fall asleep here and wake up here," Brooke said.

"We know that feeling all too well, love," Hook said to her.

Brooke looked at them and felt a little guilty, "Sorry..." She said.

"Don't apologise," Neal said and Hook agreed, "So, now I know who you are... What's been going on... That I don't know about?"
