Chapter Seven: Percy's POV

I opened the window and Ashton flew backwards. "Ashton, what are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I came to make sure you left on time," he replied, "But I see that you have other plans with that boy."

"Daniel's just a friend, Ashton," I protested.

"Oh sure, the way you just sat there and allowed him to kiss you says 'friend' to me," he said angrily, "You know you can't fall in love, not without breaking your oath. And you know what would happen if you stayed."

"I'm not in love!" I told him, "But... if I were, you and others would always be able to..." I trailed off.

"Release you from your oath?" he guessed and I nodded, "Percia, you're coming home right now."

He grabbed my arm and pulled me through the window. "Let go of me!" I demanded as I struggled to pull my arm away, "You can't tell me what to do!"

"No, I can't, but I can drag you back to Neverland in a bag, if need be," he threatened.

"You wouldn't dare," my eyes darkened.

"Try me," he growled out.

"Ashton, if you don't let go of me, I'll scream!" I yelled.

"Then scream!"

I took breath and let it out slowly, knowing my childish ways would get me no where with him. "Please, I have a few more hours, I deserve them," I begged, "I never come here, Ashton! Please!"

"No, Percia!" he yelled, "Let's go!" He tightened his grip on my arm.

I kicked him, hard, and he let go in shock. I flew back into the house and closed the window, locking it. I looked at the ground and walked out of the room.

-Three Hours Later-

I had spent the rest of my time with Daniel, blushing as we discussed what had happened earlier. We finally went back up to the guest room. That's when I noticed that the sun was setting.

"There's something I have to tell you," I said as I turned to face Daniel, "My friend, Ashton, was at the window and he saw us... kiss. He hates me..."

"He was at the window?" Daniel asked, "Don't tell me he can fly too."

I nodded. "He can," I mumbled, "But that's not the point, the fact is, he's my best friend, and because of our kiss, he thinks I've betrayed him and the others... I have to go now..."

He knew not to fight it; I had stayed as long as I could. I picked up my bag and smiled at Daniel before walking over to the window and opening it. "I'll visit as soon as I can," I told him, "Goodbye."

"Wait-" he stopped abruptly when I flew out the window. He walked to the window and looked at me. "What...?" he asked in shock, "H-how...?"

"I told you, I'm the daughter of Peter Pan!" I replied, "I'll see you soon, Daniel!"

I turned and took a deep breath. "Daniel," I called back, "Do me a favor and... tell Peter that if he wants to talk to me, it's the first star to the right, straight on 'til morning. Pixie dust is in the top drawer of the dresser."

"Um... ok, I'll tell him," he said with a slight chuckle.

I finally built up enough courage to go home and started to fly towards the second star. I looked back as I flew away. London was getting smaller and smaller. Was I really giving up my only chance to grow up? Find love and have kids of my own...? It was everything I had ever dreamed of... and I was just leaving.

But the Lost Boys needed me, and as long as they needed me, I would always return to them. Even if it meant giving up my dream.

-Day Break-

Neverland came into view and I had ten minutes to land before the curse of my oath set in. I flew faster, excited to see my boys again but at the same time devastated to realize that I was really going back to an island that was taking away my dream.

I could hear the Lost Boys yelling when they saw me which made me smile. I could see them jumping excitedly on my perch. "Percy! Percy!" they yelled.

I was almost to the perch and let out a happy rooster's crow before flying faster and reaching the perch, grabbing Tootles and hugging him. I landed and everyone crowded around me, hugging me. "Oh I've missed my boys!" I told him.

I glanced around and counted them, "One, two... three... four, five, six... seven, eight... Where's Ashton?"

My answer came when I heard him playing his pan flute while sitting in a tree beside the hideout. I looked towards the tree and sighed.

"He's been there since he got back," Bubba told me.

"Oh," I said quietly.

"Did you two have a fight?" Slightly asked.

"I'm afraid we did, Slightly," I replied, "I'm gonna go talk to him, then I'll start breakfast."

I flew to the tree Ashton was in. He noticed me and stopped playing his pan flute, letting his arm with the flute hang off the branch. He stared straight ahead sternly. "Surprised you even came back," he muttered angrily.

"You know I had to," I said gently.

"Yeah... you're oath," he mumbled gruffly.

"Ashton, you know that's not why I came back," I said motherly, "As long as they need me, I'll always come back, and children need a mother, so they'll always need me. So I'll always come back."

He stood up on the branch and threw his pan flute into the forest, letting out an angry 'Ugh!' and jumping down from the branch in front of me. His face was angry and shaded by the trees, making him look like a villain.

"You've been feeding us that line for five years!" he snapped, "I know you don't want to be here! I know you want to be back with that boy! So go! Leave! No one is trying to keep you here!"

My eyes widened and he clenched his fists. "Ashton-"

"Just go already!" he yelled and stormed off.

I closed my eyes, holding back tears. I destroyed the only family I had ever known.
