Anyway back to Neverland...
***************************************************************************************************
Emily's POV:
"Boy's you have five minutes before we leave. Do not be late!" Felix yelled out to us, then walked over to his hut and shut the door.
"Finally!" Ben said grabbing his small dagger and sliding the carved rock against the blade. I watched as he carefully swiped every stroke making sure not to apply too much pressure.
"Where are we going?" I asked tying my left shoe lace into a double knot.
"We will be leaving soon for training" Will said.
"And why are we training again?" I asked confused about the whole idea.
"One, because it's part of Pan's rules and even if we don't want to do it he would find a way to force us" Will said standing up. "Two, to be fit and be able to hunt to survive" he said grabbing my arm and helping me up off the log.
"And finally we have to be prepared incase we ever get attacked" Ethan fished off for Will pulling up Ben.
Attacked by who? I thought.
"Let's go, Pan's waiting for us!" Felix yelled waving his hand for us to walk with him.
"Pan" I hissed stopping myself from walking causing Will and the other two boys to turn around.
"Come on Emily, this will be a chance to prove yourself to Pan" Ethan said grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the others. "I thought I did that when I played Pan's game" I groaned frustratedly.
Ben chuckled, "Yeah you kind of didn't because you couldn't get back to camp. Speaking of how did you get back here?" He asked confused. My mind went blank.
"All I can remember was waking up in my hut from that dream" I said like a question not a fact.
"Will?" Ethan asked but Will looked confused just like the rest of us.
"I didn't bring her back. I only went to check on her in the morning thinking she got here by herself" Will explained.
"Then how did I get back?" I shivered scared of who or what brought me back. We all jumped at Felix's loud voice.
"You four!" he said pointing to us. "You better hurry up or face Pan when you get there late!" Felix yelled then turned back leading the group. We ran to catch up with the group.
We walked as a group further into the jungle, the leaves went from a bright colour to a more darker green.
We had been walking for at least ten minutes.
There were two huge wide trees that moulded together at the top making a big opening like a door. On the trunks were skulls hanging by vines. I watched with wide eyes. This was probably the gateway to hell.
I heard Will chuckle next to me. "There not human skulls if that's what your thinking"
I felt someone poke my shoulder, I turned my attention to Ben who had a skull in front of his face. I screamed punching the piece of bone off and pushing Ethan towards him.
"If you get scared over that I'd love to see you in training" Ben laughed earning a slap over the head from Ethan.
I stood on Will's side making sure Ben didn't pull anything again. We walked under the gateway, I stood looking out at the view in front of me.
It was a massive grassland surrounded by the jungle trees like a dome. There was one massive tree in the centre with pegs around it and vines thick enough to climb onto, there were also mats surrounding the tree.
There were targets and arrows lined up on the right side of the area. Rays of sunlight came down lightning up the training area. It looked amazing, like a huge playground for teenagers.
Felix gathered us around right in front of the massive oak tree. We all turned our attention to Pan as he walked towards us. He was wearing the same clothing except he wore a t-shirt version and black lace boots. The sunlight brought out his light brown hair and green eyes and I could see his biceps...man he looked so gorgeo-
"Emily, What are you staring at?" I heard Will say next to me. I wanted to say 'I am looking at an amazing looking guy that just had to be an evil, cruel power hungry maniac who is apparently 'Peter Pan' but instead I replied,
"Ahh-h the tree?" I said looking up at the top branches to make what I was saying believable.
"Oh yeah. Let's hope Pan goes easy on you today" he said staring up at the oak tree putting his hand on my shoulder tapping it lightly. I scoffed
"What's that supposed to mean?" I said only to be interrupted by Pan calling out names.
"Josh, Sam, Zac, Ethan, Ben, David, Hunter and Jason. You will all be going with Felix" Pan announced. Ben and Ethan said goodbye to us before running to meet up with their group.
"The rest of you will be with me for target practice" Pan said walking us over to the targets.
"Great" Will said sarcastically looking at me, I rolled my eyes and we followed the group.
There was a wooden table with lots of different types of bows. All the boys seemed to know which one to get, I noticed that they had there names on them. I turned to Pan.
"What do I-"
"Just come with me. The rest of you find a target and start shooting" he yelled back at the boys grabbing my arm and pulling me over towards the sideline of jungle trees. He let go and kicked a spot in one of the trees causing it to click open, there was a massive black bag. Pan grabbed the bag and swung it out and in front of my feet.
"Choose wisely" Pan said leaning on the tree watching me.
I squatted down and unzipped the bag, looking inside there were dozens of bows each one had been fashioned differently.
"Pick one and make it quick" Pan said from behind me.
I reached into the bag picking out a bow, the shape was long and the grip felt wrong for my small hands. I put it back and then pulled out another one, looking it over before placing it back again.
"Would you hurry up" Pan said impatiently. I dug to the bottom of the bag and pulled out a light wooden coloured bow with a white leather grip. It was beautiful and felt like it fitted me perfectly, the bow came at the right height for my body.
I zipped up the bag and turned to Pan, as he saw the bow his eyes went fierce but his face slowly softened back and he spoke softly.
"Good choice" Pan said placing the bag back into the tree and closing the hatch. He walked off and back down to the boys who were shooting the arrows at the targets. I walked behind him looking down at the bow and smiling. It was the first weapon I had ever held.
Will was shooting at his target on the other end hitting the bulls eye each time he let go of the arrows. I looked in front of my target picking up an arrow and locking it in place, I pulled the end of the arrow along with the wire across my chest. I let go and watched as it bounced off the edge of the target and onto the dirt.
I heard Pan laugh behind me. I stared at him rolling my eyes as I pulled another arrow out and placed it onto the bow.
"It's like this" Pan whispered into my ear standing with his body against mine as he leveled the bow, his larger hands covering around my smaller ones. I took a breath as I felt his chest against my back. My body shivered as I heard his voice whisper his breath hitting my neck as he continued talking.
"Pull the arrow back and aim" he said doing the actions and pulling my arm back against him.
"Let go" he whispered his voice full of lust as his lips touched my neck. His touch caused me to relax my shoulders as I let go of the bow. He stepped back and the warmth of his body was gone instantly making me colder. I opened my eyes as I saw the arrow was directly in the bullseye. I took a long breath out that I didn't know I had been holding all this time.
"Boys put your bows back then meet back in front of the tree" Pan yelled. The boys placed there bows back onto the wooden table. Will caught up with me.
"Your pretty good at this" I said as Will and I walked to the table.
"Thanks" he smiled wiping his sweaty forehead placing his bow down on the table. I gave him mine to put down but he just stared at it with wide eyes. "How did you get this" he said shocked.
"I chose it" I said confused as Will flipped it over.
"Look" he said pointing to something carved into the wood. My eyes widened, there carved into the wood was 'P.P'. How did I not notice it.
"Peter Pan. This is his bow" I said placing it down on the table scared that if I broke it Pan would use it to kill me.
"Yeah and if I were you I would give it back after training" Will said. I nodded and we walked to where our group and Ben and Ethan's group had joined.
"Hey guys" Will said. Ben and Ethan turned around sweat dripping from well...everywhere.
"What the hell did you guys do?!" I yelled covering my nose from the smell.
"It's called running before you get shot" Ben said panting holding his knees.
"What he said" Ethan replied leaning on Ben.
"Training is over. Head back to Campus" Pan ordered. The boys turned and started walking to the gateway. I looked at Will unsure. He nodded his head, "I'll wait past the gate" he said before walking with Ben and Ethan through the gateway.
I took a deep breath and walked towards Pan.
"What do you want?" He asked before I could speak a word.
"To give you your bow back" I said grabbing it from the table.
"You can keep that. It's yours now" he said touching the wood over the 'P.P', once he let go imprinted into the wood read 'Emily.W'.
"Your just giving it to me" I asked surprised. He chuckled "Trust me I wouldn't have given that to you at all if I didn't have another one that was mine" he said clicking his fingers, in his hand was a dark coloured wooden bow with a black handle grip.
"Of course you wouldn't" I said frustratedly walking off. How could I think Pan was actually being nice for once.
I walked through the gateway to see Will running up to me.
"How did it go?" He asked walking a long with me through the jungles path.
"Brilliant" I replied sarcastically.
"I still get to keep the bow" Will smiled widely as he grabbed my bow and saw the name.

Pan's POV:
I grabbed the bows off the table putting them in the bag. I walked up to the tree and kicked the right spot causing the hatch to swing open. I placed the bag in and closed the hatch. Once I got back to the training area I felt a cold breeze hit my face. I smirked turning around looking into the sky.
"Hello, shadow" I said as I watched the black figure with its yellow eyes hover above the ground.
"The girl. She needs to go, she is a distraction to your mission" the shadow said his voice was deep and dark.
"Who Emily?" I asked acting surprised. "She will be out of here once her part has been played" I said smirking.
The shadows eyes grew wider.
"And what about training? That meant nothing to you?" He said his tone growing more angry.
"Just a little fun and games" I smirked remembering how her heart increased as I kissed her neck.
"Trust me she'll be out of here in no time. I just need her to trust me" I said grabbing my dagger and placing it into my belt. The shadow took off into the night sky.
I walked under the gateway and back on the path to Campus. The shadow was right Emily is becoming a distraction.
Will's POV:
As Emily and I walked into camp I noticed that most of the boys were in there huts probably cleaning up before dinner.
I watched as Pan walked up the steps to his hut, his face looked angry but also concerned.
"I'm going to have a shower and get out of these clothes" Emily said looking down at her ripped shirt and shorts.
"Okay, meet back for dinner?"
"Yeah and also maybe tell Ethan and Ben to have one too" She said walking towards her hut, I laughed at the two boys who were wrestling on the floor covering themselves with dirt.
Emily's POV:
I heard Will laugh as he ran over and broke the two apart.
I opened the door and walked in closing it with my foot as I walked in the little bathroom. I turned the hot water on and fully stripped out of my clothes kicking the material to the other side of the room. The steam was coming out of the shower cap and was slowly heating up the room. I stepped in and instantly felt the hot water running down my body, it was like a shower and a sauna. It was perfect.
A few minutes had passed and I looked through the glass, the whole room was covered in steam.
"Emily" I heard Pan's voice from in the bathroom. I opened my eyes covering my private parts on instinct.
"What the hell are you doing! Get out!" I screamed through the glass.
"Well I'm guessing you don't want a towel and a fresh pair of clothing" I could hear his footsteps fading.
"Wait!" I said turning the water off. "Don't you dare look!" I couldn't see him because of the steam so that means he can't see me right?
I could see his arm reach out from the smoke as he held out the towel, I grabbed it quickly tucking it around my body.
"You got it on" he asked, I didn't have to see his face to know he was smirking. I opened the glass door and stepped out onto the mat. I heard a click then all the smoke disappeared. Pan was standing in the door way his eyebrows doing that stupid thing again. My cheeks heated up and I grabbed the towel tighter.
"You can't just walk in on a girl having a shower!" I yelled at him. He looked down and picked up my bra holding it in his hands. "D cup, impressive" he said smirking. My face was probably as red as a tomato by now. I snatched my bra back and chucked it on the floor. I stomped over to him and grabbed is dagger slamming his back against the wall and holding the knife against his neck.
"You've got fire. I like fire" He said smirking at me.
"And your a perv" I said through gritted teeth.
"Don't think I didn't catching you staring at me at training" My shoulders sunk down a bit knowing he had caught me. Pan chuckled turning as around and pushing my body against the wall.
"There are clothes in your draw" he said grabbing his knife out of my hand and leaving through the door. I walked over and slammed the door hard causing the room to slightly shake.
"Dickhead" I mumbled grabbing the black tank top, jean shorts, black underwear and bra putting them all on. They were the right size, how did Pan know my size?...
Magic, let's just go with that.
I looked in the mirror and grabbed the towel rubbing it against my hair. I flicked my head back up, my hair was in knots and tangles. Great. How was I going to manage this one I thought. I walked over to the white draws and opened the top one revealing a brush and hair ties. I grabbed a hair tie and the brush and walked back to the bathroom mirror.
I brushed it back and tied my hair up into a high ponytail.
As I sat on the wooden table with the boys Ben whistled out.
"Damn girl you clean up nice" Ben said clicking his fingers sassily.
I threw a piece of bread at his face and watched as it landed on his plate. He shrugged picking up the piece and shoving it into his mouth. The other two just laughed at his odd behaviour.
