“I’m not leaving him to you,” I tell him, risking my neck and my head. “I’m going after him. He’s my monster now.” Something changes in Pan’s expression. It’s almost imperceptible. A flicker of surprise. “Do what you will then, Hook.” Pan holds his arm out, gesturing me forward. “Don’t let me hold you back.” Up until now, Roc hasn’t hurt me. Every time he’s come close, he’s shifted back. I hope now isn’t the first where he proves me wrong.
