Hello! Happy Sunday! I've been writing this fanfic like a mad woman so I should have another chapter up within the next few days! I just need to clean it up a bit and get it squared away! I hope you have been enjoying it and like this chapter as well! I'll be honest, the next chapter I'm more excited for! This seemed like a necessary filler. :( BUT it is still good!

Please follow or review if you like the story :)

"Are you planning on eating, Wendy?" Felix pushed a bowl of fruit across the table at me. After my fight with Peter, I came down to the clearing where all the boys were having breakfast and talking. Felix was sitting at a near the fire pit with some of the older boys. I took a seat across from him and he introduced me to the others. Charles, a tall brunette who looked about sixteen and if he was back in America, which I believed he was from, he would be on the side of a milk carton. Scott, a shorter blond who seemed like he was Charles' right hand guy and Russell, the quietest of the three who looked like he was just the kid to round out their trio.

"You know my answer." I pushed back the bowl and crossed my arms on the table. Even after the argument this morning, I wasn't going to eat. No way. Peter could think I was stupid all he wanted but I would prove to him that I would hold my own.

He pushed back the bowl. "Please eat."

I sighed. "Felix."

"I will force feed you and then make you sleep on the dirt for the rest of your time here because I know he won't care enough to help."

My eyes became hard lines. He was fighting as dirty as me. "Fine." I picked up an apple and took a bite.

"Happy?" I said through chewing and he nodded. The apple did taste good and I knew my stomach would be happy even though I wasn't. A bite wouldn't make that much of a difference.

"Yes." He grinned, satisfied that he got me to eat.

"Good." I put down the apple, and he gave me a look. I brushed off my hands of the invisible crumbs. "I can't eat and talk." I said with my mouth full.

He popped a piece of melon into his mouth. "Why do you think I gave you it?"

I gasped as I threw the apple at him and he laughed, dodging it with room to spare. "That is so rude!" I put my hand up to cover my mouth and finished chewing as he gave me a grin.

"And throwing apples isn't?"

"Singular, Felix! It can be plural, if you want?" I looked at the apple in his own bowl. He followed my eyes and pulled the bowl closer to him.

"No thanks." His grin widened. "What do you want to do today?" He asked me, eating another piece of melon.

I shrugged. What was there to do? We were on an island and I don't think they had too much to do. I thought for a moment before answering. "Why don't you show Michael, John, and I the island?"

He looked around. "Okay, but we need ground rules first."

I rolled my eyes. "Did Peter tell you to?"

Felix looked back at me. "That's not the point."

"He never did tell us last night." I shook my head dramatically. "Flaky on his promises."

"You did make it an early night." Felix said with no blame in his voice.

"It was his fault."

Felix pushed his empty bowl away from him. "Just go get your brothers so I can explain some things before we leave." Normally, I would assume he's avoiding a fight but I think he was avoiding defending Peter. I didn't bother telling him what happened with Peter only a few minutes ago.

I nodded regardless and stood up from the table. I looked around and found John and Michael eating their own bowls of fruit with a group of the younger boys. I wondered silently why they all were eating fruit when I knew they could make other things like eggs and toast but I decided that it was because fruit had sugar and they needed the energy to last the rest of the day.

"Wendy!" Michael said excitedly and jumped from his spot at the table. He ran to me and hugged my waist. I smiled and hugged him back.

"Did you sleep well?" I felt guiltiness rush over me. I didn't even know where they slept last night. I was too self-absorbed to even think about it last night.

His smile grew. "It was so cool!" He pointed to one of the houses in the trees. "We stayed in that house and we slept in hammocks! It was like we were floating!"

His excitement relieved my guilt. "That sounds like fun."

"Where did you sleep?" He began to pull me to the table he had abandoned.

"In Felix's house." He raised an eyebrow at me and I felt myself blush. He knew too much for being eight. "Not like that. He slept somewhere else."

"So you didn't kiss?" I shook my head. Thank god he was still innocent to think that kissing was the dirtiest thing I could do.

"No. We are just friends."

He sighed, almost sadly. "Oh."

I rolled my eyes and I watched John stand up. "Wendy!"

"John!" I responded in his same tone.

"The other kids are going to practice shooting arrows. Can we do it too?"

I frowned and motioned to Felix. "We're actually going to go take a tour of the island with Felix. He has to explain some stuff to us."

Both his and Michael's face dropped to frowns. "We can do that later."

I shook my head. "Don't you want to explore a little? Maybe the other boys will teach you how to shoot? Maybe Felix? Maybe even Peter." His name tasted like acid.

Their face faltered but lit up a little when they looked behind me. "I'll show you how to shoot." Peter's voice floated from behind me and cursed him in my head.

"Great!" John said excitedly. It wasn't just another boy showing how to shoot, it was Peter.

I rolled my eyes before turning around. He had a smile on his face, meant for them and not me. I just looked up with a bored expression. He didn't look at me.

"You can go take the tour with Felix." He nodded in his direction. "Then when you return, we can go over the basics."

"Cool!" Michael said again with a huge smile on his face. He was really happy. John and him both were.

"You'll need some training for our game tonight." I haven't heard anything about a game.

"What game?" I asked him. He still didn't look at me.

"Capture the flag." He said in an equally irritated tone above my head.

I didn't think twice before I pushed past him, taking him by surprise and I walked to Felix. He had a look on his face that told me I might not have just made the best judgment but I ignored it. I sat down at the table and waited for Michael and John to catch up, which they did after a few more words with Peter and sat next to me.

Felix began speaking, making sure to look at all three of us as he did to make sure we were all fully understanding what he was talking about. "Okay, first, do not leave the camp without letting either Peter or I know and just to let you know, you won't be given an okay."

"So why bother ask?" John asked.

"Sometimes we'll allow you but most of the time, we'd rather you stay around camp for protection, need be."

"So don't tell?"

"No." Felix looked at me.

"Tell because if you go missing, we'll know to find you or not."

"Oh no." Michael said quietly next to me. "Don't go anywhere, Wendy."

"I won't, Michael." Felix gave me a look knowing I would break this rule at some time but he continued with his list, rounding to 5 things:

1. Don't leave clearing.

2. Do your share in the group.

3. Respect the fellow boys, Peter, and himself. (I almost laughed allowed when he said this, his glare kept my lips closed)

4. Approach snitching with some backbone. Meaning pick your battles wisely.

5. Don't touch the glowing rocks.

"What glowing rocks?" John asked. I looked around, I didn't see any glowing rocks. Felix dug into his jacket pocket and found a small vial glowing. He shook it in front of us so it glowed brighter.

"Don't touch this, got it?"

"Why?" I asked.

"It's dangerous. Very, very dangerous. It could kill you just by touching it for a moment."

"Wait-" I cut him off. "How did you get it into the bottle?"

He inhaled deeply. "I know how to handle it."

I looked curiously at the bottle in his hand. "Don't touch the glowing rocks."

He nodded. "That's it?" Michael asked him, scratching his head.

"What's it?"

"The rules?" John clarified.

Felix nodded. "Yes."

"Wait, what is capture the flag?" I asked before we all stood. Michael and John looked at Felix expectantly as well. Peter must not have explained it either.

"Basically a large game of keep away. Two teams, both with flags, hide them and go and try to capture it from one another."

"Oh."

"Except we use weapons for defense." He said wearily at the look I was giving him. Weapons were a no go for us. I didn't need Michael or John getting hurt. "Not sharp ones. Marbles full of a serum."

"Do we get hurt?" Michael asked. His voice was a little shaky and I knew he was scared.

"Temporarily." Felix said honestly.

"Really the serum you're hit with makes you freeze for a little bit but you come back within a few minutes."

"Awesome!" Michael's fist shot into the air suddenly, taking the rest of us by surprise. "Let's do it!"

I hope you enjoyed the chapter! Like I said, the next one is one of my favorites to write so hopefully you will enjoy it as well! And the capture the flag idea came from Divergent (no shame here) and I just thought it would be a cool idea to do in the forest and on the island. They have to have fun some way and what better way then to have a huge game of CTF?

Thanks for reading! Have a lovely day!

Don't forget to follow and review! :) This wasn't in Peter's POV but should I include his in the next chapter? Do we like that better than just Wendy's? Any suggestion is welcome!
