Chapter 13

Peters POV

I take Jacklynn into my embrace. I hold her there, my face buried in her hair, eyes closed and taking in every ounce of her. I don't ever want to let go. I don't want to see the sadness on her face when I tell her about Jamie.

I open my eyes slightly to see Preston staring at us.

I blush slightly at being watched and let go of Jacklynn, not meeting her eyes.

"There's something you should know Jacklynn..." I say, planing in my head what to say to her.

"What is it?" Her smile pains me. Just when she finally breaks out of her shell she's going to retreat back in. "Is it about Jamie? Where is she? Is she here? Did she not hear the song?"

Preston quickly grabs his sisters hand, calming her down enough to listen.

I sigh. She has to find out sooner or later. "Yes," I start. "It's about Jamie."

"What is it?"

I meet her eyes, as blue as the sky. Her face was filled with hope and excitement.

"Jamie..." I stumble for words as she nods for me to continue. "She's not coming Jacklynn..."

Her face dropped a bit. "Why not?"

I couldn't answer that. I wouldn't. How could I let her down like that? Lucky for me Preston spoke up before I had to.

"She's gone Jack." Jacklynn lowered to his level as he explained. "After you left father got mad and took Jamie away from us."

Terror showed clearly on Jacklynns face. "Where did he take her?"

Preston shook his head. "No Jack. Jamie is gone. Father killed her."

Felix's POV

The lost boys and girls dance around and play from the moment the ship landed. Pan was busy with reuniting Jacklynn with her brother which left me to deal with the new children.

After they were settled and playing I went looking for pan.
He wasn't too far away. Pan was talking with Jacklynn and Preston, her brother.

I smiled, seeing her glowing face.

No... stop! She belongs to pan!

I shook my head to get rid of the thought of her adorable face.

All of a sudden her cute face turned to terror. My heart drops with concern as she shakes her head and slowly begins to stand.

Pan reaches for her, trying to calm her down and give her comfort but she shakes him off. I can hear her now, screaming and sobbing.

"Jacklynn, please!" Pan begs. She has no word of it though as she runs off into the woods.

I sprint forward, putting my hand on pans shoulder.

"You stay with the lost boys," I suggest. "Let me deal with her."

I can tell he's unhappy about this but pan knows all to well that he can't show weakness or favoritism to one lost child.

"Fine." He spat. "But if you lay one finger on her-"

"I promise, nothing bad will come to her." Pan nods and I run after Jacklynn.

Lucky for me she didn't run too far. When I finally caught up she was sobbing near the edge of the lake where we all went swimming the first night.

I silently sat down next to her. She looked over at me with tear filled eyes. My heart sank.

"She's dead." Her voice was so low and broken I couldn't help but put my arms around her. "It's all my fault." She sobs into my chest as I hold her.

"Shhh. It's ok Jack. It's not your fault." I reassure her.

"Yes it is! If I hadn't left them, father wouldn't have even touched her. It's should have been me!"

I couldn't take this anymore. She shouldn't be beating herself up over something that wasn't her fault. I lift her chin, forcing her to look into my eyes.

"Jacklynn," She stops sobbing and looks at me. I catch a few tears running down her face and smile softly. "What your sorry excuse for a father does has nothing to do with you. You and your siblings deserve better. And now you have it. All of you."

Jacklynn swallows hard. "I miss her Felix."

"I know Jack. I know."

What happened next happened so fast.

Jacklynn smiled slightly and it was like a powerful force took over me. I leaned in and kissed her. She practically melted into the kiss.

I held her closer, tighter, knowing that she was pans and not meant for me. How could something so wrong feel so right?

At that moment I didn't care about what pan would say, what he would do. All I cared about was making Jacklynn smile. Making her happy. And I'll admit, kissing her was not the worst thing in the world.

Authors POV

Peter pan laughed at the dancing lost children around the bon fire, playing a song for them to dance to. The lost girls fit in well, he thohght. Like they were always meant to be there.

He'd been having so much fun that he'd forgotten all about what happened moments before with Jacklynn. The sight of a smiling, dancing Preston reminded him.

"Uh... Peter pan?" Said a voice beside him.

He turned to look at the voice. "Yes?"

It was one of the lost girls. She was tall, around his height, and has blonde curly hair with brown eyes.

"Are you not going to dance?" She asked, a smile on her lips.

He smirked, finding her playful smile to be much like his own. "Who's asking?" He crossed his arms over his chest, smirking.

The girl smirked in return and held a hand out to him. "Olivia"

"Hello Olivia." He shook her hand. "Welcome to neverland."

She smirked, a dark shadow crossing her face. "It's good to be here."
