Once you arrive back at Hangman's tree you say goodnight to everyone and climb the ladder up to your room. As you open the trapdoor you feel a wave of homesickness when you see one of the most comforting places on the island. The moonlight filters down from the spelled leaf ceiling, bathing your room in soft hues of blue and silver. As you step up and shut the trapdoor behind you, you walk around the room. Running your fingers over your chest of weapons,dresser and your desk scattered with papers you sigh as you reach your bed . The rounded end and green duvet make it appear almost like a lily pad, and you lay down, breathing in its comforting scent. Before you can change, your eyes close and you drift off into a peaceful sleep.

Waking with a jolt you groan and slowly sit up. The faint glimmer of dawn makes your treehouse look enchanted and you smile. Walking over to your dresser you pull out some black pants, lace up combat boots, red top and black jacket. Choosing a few daggers and throwing knifes you chuck everything onto your bed and step into a smaller section of your leafy home. After striping down you click your fingers, and the leaves above you open and cool water pours down onto you. Feeling energised and clean you dress and tuck your weapons into your boots and around your waist.

Opening your trapdoor you climb down the ladder and walk around your throne into The Den. "Morning girls! Who's up for revenge today?" At your wake up call, Winter, Ivy, Isabel, Thena, Matilda, Bella, Siren and Natasha all shoot up and look down at you. As they get dressed you hear them chatting about how good it is to have you back. Turning to face the mossy cushion you grin and quirk an eyebrow when Rebecca tumbles down. "Morning." She looks at you, flushed. "Morning! Just making sure the pirate is where we want him." You chuckle. "Good. Now let's eat before I go check in with Pan." As everyone gathers around the table Winter clears her throat. "Y/n?" You stop conversing with Bella and Ivy and tilt your head in her direction. "We got this for you, and retrieved it last night....we hope you like it." At her nod Thena pulls out a long black box. Intrigued, you look at everyone before opening it. You gasp.

"Cursebreaker? How?" As you reach out at take your sword and fasten it around your waist you get up hug each of the Lost Girls. "You haven't forgotten that you're friends with the mermaid princess have you?" You laugh. "I should have known!! You guys are the best. Thank you." Everyone smiles and you can feel the island's life force becoming stronger. As you take a seat back on your throne you clear your throat.

"Today is the day we get revenge on that slave trading bastard of a pirate." Cheers and snarls go up around the room. "The Lost Boys will continue to help us in this endeavour, and once we finally rid our island of these trespassers we will be free once more!" Savage grins adorn every Lost Girl like war paint. "Prepare your weapons. Make sure the enemy stays on track for Pan's old camp." Everyone nods and salutes before grabbing their weapons and disappearing out of The Den.

As you climb out after them you have to reign in your excitement as you flash away for a quick stop before Pan's. Mermaid Cove, to reunite with one of your best friends, Serena.
