Peter's POV

I stand in front of an open cage with a broken lock. I crossed my arms over my chest and narrowed my eyes at the scenery. Something shiny caught my attention and I knelt down to retrieve a bobby pin from the ground.

" I didn't know Victor wore bobby pins. " , Scott shrugged.

" He doesn't, Alpha. It's obvious that he somehow was able to steal one from a girl that wore one. " , I stated before looking at my sister.

" Well that explains why Victor bothered to put up a fight with me when Scott and I carried him to the cages. " , Petra mumbled.

I approached Petra and placed her bobby pin in her hand before looking at the cage again. I waved my hand over and my magic immediately made some parts of the cage glow green.

" He tried to escape using his magic, but unfortunately couldn't hack my magic. However, he was clever enough to open the cage using the bobby pin that he stole from Petra and grab one of the lost boys to replace his weight, so my magic wouldn't detect anything. " , I explained.

" Pretty much. " , the lost boy confirmed.

" Victor is very clever. " , Rae sighed.

" He is only tricky. " , I pointed out. " Just like any other bad guy. "

" But is he working alone? " , Scott questioned.

" I doubt it. That poor guy would be stupid to not have any backup. I mean it's obvious that he is working for someone. " , I clarified.

" How is it obvious? " , my girlfriend asked.

" Come on. What villian wants to take over Neverland? Take over my position? Nobody but Victor did. And that whole trying to impress Evie thing was an act. Victor knows Evie doesn't like this island's atmosphere so why persuade her? " , I pointed out.

" Pan has a point. " , Scott sighed. " He is right. "

" I'm always right. " , I retorted.

" Agreed. " , my lost boy nodded.

" Shut up. " , Petra muttered.

I placed my fingers on my lip to shush Petra. Then I slowly approached Rae and went behind her before wrapping my arms around her and pulling her to my chest.

Rae giggled before leaning against my chest with her hands on top of mine.

" I say that we forget about Victor and just relax for once. Let us have a celebration tonight. " , I suggested.

Petra raised her eyebrow at me. Scott titled his head in confusion.

" Go inform the lost boys of a celebration tonight. " , I ordered one of my lost boys.

He nodded quickly before disappearing into the woods to inform the others.

" Scott, I want you to use your werewolf skills to help the lost boys gather enough food for the feast. " , I ordered him.

" As you wish, Pan. " , Scott murmured.

" Petra, I need you to help with decorating. " , I ordered her.

" What theme? " , my sister questioned.

" A victory. " , I responded.

Thankfully, she nodded without asking any further questions.

" And my dear snowflake, you are in charge of making sure everyone is doing their job. I need to go check up on something real quick. " , I informed Rae.

" Of course. " , Rae chirped.

I smiled before kissing her forehead and slowly unwrapping my arms from her waist before I disappeared in green smoke.

Once I have arrived at my destination, I looked around the room.

" SHADOW! " , I summoned.

" Yes? " , my shadow asked in a bored tone.

I turned around to see my shadow appear from behind a huge chest. His black ghostly form floating in mid air with glowing white eyes and his eerie deep voice.

" We need to talk. " , I said sternly.

" I thought you were planning a celebration. " , ny shadow chuckled.

" That's for a distraction. " , I groaned. " I don't want anyone to worry about Victor's disappearance. "

" Ah, of course. Victor escaped. " , he spoke bitterly.

" I know. He managed to break out of the cage. Such a tricky person. " , I stated.

My shadow slowly nodded before he froze. His glowing white eyes stared at me before he titled his head. Suddenly, he started to float around me in circles while looking at me.

" Pan, what you have done?! " , my shadow shrieked. " How could you have let him go? "

A smirk was formed on my face.

" Such a clever shadow. " , I darkly chuckled.

" Another one of your wicked plans? It is unlikely of you to help a prisoner escape. " , my shadow scoffed.

" Well duh I helped him secretly. I didn't put much effort into casting a spell on that cage and putting one of my lost boys as bait. " , I grinned playfully.

" Why did you let him go? " , my shadow asked me with curiosity.

" I need to know who is he working for? That Victor kid obviously worked for someone. I'm not stupid. " , I retorted.

" Such an evil genius with great acting skills. " , my shadow applauded.

" Why thank you. " , I smirked.

" So will you tell the others sometime? " , he asked me.

" Nah. Again, I don't want them to worry. " , I said. " I know what I am doing. "

" Stubborn mule. " , my shadow murmured.

" Thanks, but back to business. " , I said firmly. " I need you to scout for Victor. Find out anything that you get from observing him. "

" As you wish Pan. " , my shadow spoke lowly.

My shadow floated away from my view as he flew away through one of the skull's eyes. I was left alone at Skull Rock.
