"There has to be a way to save him," Kyle says. "He can't die."

"Well since this poison originates in Neverland, maybe sending him to the real world will heal him," James suggests.

"Or it could kill him!" I scream. I start crying into Will's chest. "I don't want you to die. Please don't leave me. I need you." I talk between sobs.

"I still love you," Will whispers. As the poison takes over his body, he takes a final breath and closes his eyes.

"Emma," Tink says. I sit up and look at Will. "He's gone." I wave my hand over him and he glistens. "What was that for?"

"As a memory of the real hero," I say. "Will took that knife for me and I owe it to him to keep him safe."

"Do you think you can bring him back?" Kyle asks. His eyes are puffy too. I embrace him.

"Not now," I say. I let go of Kyle. "Maybe in the future, because who knows what the future holds for us? It's a mystery far greater than this land."
