Hey guys, thanks for the reviews :) Love ya guys loads and continue reading ;)
The next day I was sleeping in after what all happened yesterday. The boys were off to do their jobs and no one was in the tree. Except for Peter. He felt so hurt after what Wendy said to him yesterday, words like sharp daggers and poison. He look to his bedside table. It was a thimble Wendy gave him the night when Peter took her to Neverland. He picked it up and threw it against the wall in anger. It knocked down a few things, but he couldn't care less.
'If only he hadn't lost Wendy, if only..' he thought sadly.
After what felt like an eternity of sleep, I finally woke up. I stretched and went to the lake to wash up. After splashing my face with the cold water I felt fresh again. I rummaged through her bag and chose an old beige sweater over leggings and pulled on some flat boots. I found a small cape with a hood and I pulled it over my head covering my jet black hair and face. I grabbed a bow and some arrows and went out to do some hunting.
I have never touched a bow and arrow for years. I felt excited yet nervous when I aimed at a deer. I let go and the arrow flew and shot the deer right at it's neck. I jumped and ran over quickly. I touched the deer's heart and then to mine.
"I'm sorry little guy but hey, it's life, I eat you and you eat me when I reincarnate." I said softly. I pulled the arrow out and quickly shot a bird, unexpectedly. It flopped down and she picked it up.
"I see you're hunting, first time eh?" a voice said behind me. Shocked, I turned around, quick.
It was Slightly.
I've been in Neverland for almost two days and I haven't been able to properly talk to Slightly. He took one look at me with his beautiful blue eyes glimmering over my witch black eyes, it was as if we had a connection. Once he saw the hunting he was shocked.
"You really shot these?" he questioned playfully. I nodded with a smirk.
I never actually looked at Slightly this way before. His blues eyes under his brown fringe just made my insides jelly thinking about him. He's 5'11 and I barely stop at his shoulders. He was tall, lean and caring,he was every girl's dream.
Arrrgh! I've just met him, how could I think about him? It was wrong at the same time right. I can't help but fall for Slightly, but my thoughts were pushed off by a voice in my head saying loving a Lost Boy has been forbidden for years in Neverland.
"Hello, Earth to Maia?" said Slightly waking me up from my daydream.
"Oh huh what?" I said still in a trance. Slightly grinned and ran off winking. That moment, I felt my insides just turned to jelly and it hit me. I am falling for Peter's second-in command, Slightly.
When I got back, I skinned the deer and tossed its fur into the dorm-ish room. The boys only came back an hour later, for lunch and Peter hasn't left his room. I bit my lip as I thought about him and Wendy as I ladled some stew for the boys. As they ate, I took a bowl of steaming deer stew and went into Peter's room.
It was a mess. Books were strewn everywhere, broken glass shards from here to there and worst of all, Peter wasn't in his room. I gasped and ran out to the boys.
"Guys.." I said trembling. "Peter's gone." I finished nervously. The boys stopped talking and stared at me.
"Peter's gone?" said Bunny in a sad voice which made me feel like crying. Then I quickly rushed back to his room and scanned it again. There I found a note written on burnt parchment.
'Dear Maia, if you read this I must've already been gone. I couldn't stand the fact that Wendy never loved me after all I've done for her. I must leave. Not Neverland but somewhere where my thoughts and feelings would never come together as one and hurt me. Goodbye Maia.' said the note. I gave the wall a punch. How could he just leave everyone in a lurch when he knows Wendy is coming after all of us for more vengeance and god knows what Hook would do if they were caught again.
I read the boys the note and a few twinkles in the twin's eyes sparkled.
"We know where Pan is." they chorused. "He's in the-" they said but Slightly cut them off. "The Echo Caves. No one can enter that cave without getting through the Dark Forest." said Slightly. I went to one of the cubby holes and found a map and compass. The map was on an old faded piece of parchment but the lines and places were still visible. I grabbed some brushes and some black paint and restored as much as I could to the map. Once the paint dried, Slightly, who took charge ordered the boys to get ready.
"We've got a long way to go." he said under his breath. I went to the dorm and packed lightly. Another shirt and pants, my torn sweater and a spare cape. I slung my pack under my cape, tucked a few small knives and daggers at my waistline and refilled my quiver of arrows. I fashioned a chain on the compass and slung it on my neck.
"Ready." I muttered under my breath.
We all gathered in the 'living room' and we were ready to go on a journey. All of us had some pixie dust around our necks each and we smiled at each other and bid the place goodbye. We were off on our quest to find Peter Pan.
