Before you shoot me I have a perfectly good reason as to why this chapter didn't come out on time! My mother grounded me from my computer and I had no other way of publishing this chapter! So I am really sorry about that. Anyway I am really happy to see that you guys are enjoying this story! Keep giving me feedback, good or bad. Anyway here is Chapter 3.

-Miss. Madison

We stood in the mouth of a cave; Baelfire called it 'Echo Cave'. We stood there waiting. The longer we waited the more worried I got that something would go wrong, even though Baelfire had told me at least 50 times that everything would go alright.

I had learned a lot about him in the few hours I had known him. I didn't know if all the information was correct considering I still thought they were all crazy but it was something. I had learned that Baelfire had been on this island for more than 250 years. He had tried to escape once before but Pan caught him and he has never been able to get that close to escaping since.

He told me a story about Peter, how Peter can't live forever. There is something on this island keeping him alive; Baelfire said it was a giant hourglass. He didn't know where it was but he knew it existed. Once it ran out Pan would grow old again and die. Baelfire said that it should have run out years ago but every 300 years Pan goes and flips it over so that the time resets, until he can find a more permanent solution. 'And they all wondered why I thought they were on drugs' I thought.

My thoughts were interrupted when we herd rustling of bushes. My body tensed up when I saw it was Peter. He had a wide grin plastered on his face, "Well isn't this a pleasant surprise." His voice was dripping with sarcasm. He slowly advanced towards us and he looked at me, "I didn't think you would make it so easy for me Riley." I flinched a little as my name rolled off his tongue, but I wasn't entirely surprised he knew my name.

Then he looked over to Bae, "And Baelfire. You too? Well, two birds with one stone." He began to advance towards us but Bae stepped in front of me, "No, we want to make a deal." Peter stopped dead in his tracks and looked from me to Bae.

His smile never faltered, "Deals are your fathers thing. I play games. And right now Riley is about to loose hers." He glanced at me and then turned back to Bae. I knew it was a bad idea meeting him. I knew something was going to happen. My heart began to pick up speed and it grew loud. So loud I was almost positive that both of them could hear it.

Bae shook his head, "We want to add onto the game." Peter cocked his head to the side, he seemed curious, "Oh really? And what, do tell, would you like to add?" I could tell Bae was getting nervous, it was barley noticeable but I could see his hands shaking slightly.

Bae let out a shaky breath, now it was obvious he was nervous. "If Riley wins the game then I get to leave with her." Peter laughed, I never thought about what we would do if he said no. He blocked the entrance to the cave so how were we supposed to get out? My mind was racing which caused my heart to beat faster. "Why should I allow that?" Peter asked him, his smile now gone as if it were never there. "Because you don't want me here anymore. I'm no fun." He mocked Peter's voice, which caused Peter to laugh.

It was quiet for a few moments before I decided to hop in the conversation. "What do you have to loose? If you are so confident that you will win." Peter looked to me and smirked, "Hmm." He scanned my face and then Bae's before he finally spoke. "Alright deal." I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. I relaxed slightly but that didn't last very long.

Suddenly we herd the howling again. Peter turned and looked in the woods then turned back to us with a devilish grin. "Better get going before the boys come find you." Without hesitation Bae grabbed my upper arm gently and began to guide me out of the cave, past Peter. Peter waved goodbye and watched us as we slowly left the cave and made a run for it into the woods.

We sprinted through the jungle. I jumped over tree roots and dogged branches. I glanced behind me to see nobody was following us. That made me wonder why we were running if we didn't need to. "Nobody's chasing us." I said to Bae through breaths. He glanced over to me, "I know." We broke through the tree line and ended up on a beach. Bae began to slow down and so did I until we were both hunched over trying to catch our breath.

Once I was able to breath again I asked, "Why did we do that?" He looked up to me and shook his head, "Because." He stood, "Even if we don't see them that doesn't mean they aren't there. If we are running then they cant catch us off guard." I stood and put my hands on my head. I nodded, "Lets not do that again unless we have to." He smirked and nodded in agreement.

"Plus, I just wanted to get away from Pan. Fast." I nodded; I didn't like being around him at all. There was something about him that just made you want to hide under a rock and never come out. He was scary, and I didn't want to spend any more time near him than I had to. "Come on. Lets stick to the cost line." He began to walk along the beach. I jogged to catch up to him, "Why against the coast?"

"This way they cant surround us. We always have an escape rout." I nodded. We walked for a while in silence; I was constantly looking over to the jungle to make sure nobody could surprise us, even thought I knew it was pointless.

"So, what dimension do you come from?" Bae asked, which snapped me out of my daze. I turned to him a little confused then I remembered that he was just as crazy as the others. "Chicago." He just looked very confused, "Where?" I rolled my eyes; this game of theirs was getting old. "United States?" His look of confusion didn't falter, but then he got a look of realization hit him, "The land without magic." He nodded to himself. I decided to go along with it, "Umm sure."

He smirked, "You still don't believe do you?" I shook my head, "Is it that obvious?" He nodded He began to say something but suddenly we herd the sharp sound of a twig snap. He stopped and we both turned to the woods. My heart began to pick up speed once more. He took a step in front of me and pushed me behind him. When I peeked around his shoulder my breath hitched in my throat. The boys from before were walking out of the woods ever so casually.

The boy with the scar was in front, leading them, a smile plastered on his face. Bae grabbed my arm and we turned to run but there were more boys blocking our way and the same thing on our other side. "I didn't think you would make it so easy for us Baelfire." The boy with the scar said as he slowly approached us, the club rested on his shoulder.

Bae slowly pushed me towards the water and we kept taking steps back. We were ankle deep when the boy added, "You should never have tried to escape in the first place Baelfire. You could have had a life here." Bae let out a chuckle, "A life here? Ha. I'd rather die." All the boys laughed. The boy with the scar looked around then turned back to us, "Pan will do much worse than kill you." He looked over to me, "And you." His smile widened, "Oh Pan is going to have so much fun with you." My heart was beating so fast I thought it would explode. 'Fun with me? What the hell was that suppose to mean?' I thought.

We slowly sunk deeper into the water. The boy with the scar noticed but didn't comment on it, "Take them." Slowly the others approached us with smiles wide on their faces and Bae pushed me further into the water, "Go." He whispered. He pulled out a sword that had been on his belt, "I'll catch up." He turned and faced the other and swung his sword at them.

Slowly I backed into the water and began to swim. I swam as hard and as fast as I could. It felt like forever but then my hand touched a rocky surface indicating I had hit land. Once I pulled myself up I rolled over on my back and laid on the ground. I didn't swim very far but at least it put some distance between us.

I sat up and looked back to the water hoping to see Bae right behind me. But my hope faded when I couldn't see him. Maybe they took him? Maybe he was on foot? My mind was running crazy; I had no clue what to do. I had to find Bae, he was my only hope of winning. I ran my fingers through my damp hair and began to pace. I knew I couldn't stay where I was much longer before those boys came and found me. I knew I had to keep moving, but I couldn't leave Bae, even if I thought they were all crazy he knew this place and I needed him to help me avoid getting caught. This whole situation was just crazy.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Okay. Everything is going to be okay. I'll wait five minutes, if he's not here then I'll leave." I said to myself. I ignored the fact that I was talking to myself, if it kept me sane than so be it.

"That may be a problem." I spun around quickly to see Peter. I began to back up ready to dive back into the water. "What do you mean?" My voice shook slightly. He looked at the ground, the smile never leaving his face, then when he looked up he spoke, "He is a bit," He paused looking for the right word, "Stuck at the moment." I cocked my head in confusion, "Stuck?" Peter nodded, "Yes, he is in a cage dangling in a tree by a rope." My jaw dropped slightly and I froze. He seemed to perk up a little.

Once I was able to find my voice I spoke, "So this is it then?" He frowned and began to advance towards me, "We are only four hours into the game darling. Why on Earth would I want to end it now?" He asked giving me a smirk.

My whole body began to shake as I watched him closely. It was silent for a moment before he spoke, "I notice you have Baelfires bow and arrow." I looked down at bow in my hand, "Yeah and?" He shrugged, "And you will be needing it."

Suddenly he vanished. He just disappeared into thin air. I looked around in a panic, how the hell did that just happen? Was he actually right? Was everything that was told to me true? My breathing became unsteady, was he actually Peter Pan? I shook my head.

None of it mattered, all that mattered was I needed to run. Even if I didn't have Bae I could still beat them. I had to if I wanted to get both of us out of here. I had 44 hours left and I was ready to play.

Did you like it? Yes? No? Now this is when the fun begins. Its going to get good so I hope you all stick around for the next chapter! (And for the rest of the story.) Someone PMed me this week and asked if there would be any romance. I'm sorry to ruin it for you but I am not planning on making it a romantic story, maybe feelings will blossom but don't get your hopes up. I'm sorry if that is what you guys wanted. I want to write variety stuff, I don't just want to stick to one topic because I feel people will get bored. With that being said I do hope you all are enjoying this story. Sorry this A/N was so long. :)

See You Soon!
