I'm thrilled with every review I'm getting from you guys. It's making me think of things for the plot I haven't considered before.

I hope you enjoy this chapter. I think you will want to kill me in the end but trust me. It will be better for the plot. TRUST ME ON THIS OK? That's all I'm asking.
I think that's it for now. I'll be busy this week at college. Test week and the subjects are more complex then last week so I think I'll only be updating at the end of the week. I think I can manage to write two more today, but I can't guarantee that ok?

AS ALWAYS:
KEEP READING! KEEP THE REVIEWS.
ENJOY!


PETER

She was right in front of him but he couldn't believe still. She had left them that day, years ago. He was certain of that. She had left them as well as his hopes of finding her had left him when he went to her realm expecting to find Sam at her balcony. He didn't notice he was still staring until she took off her eyes from Katherine and rested her gaze on him. She had changed.

Her eyes bared a stronger gaze. Her auburn hair still had its hypnotizing glow but it was shorter than he remembered, curling at her shoulders. But what called his attention was her body. He had never paid much attention at that when he first met her. It was understandable of course, but now? He couldn't stop eating her with his eyes. She was using leather pants which enhanced her curves and she had a white shirt he had never seen before. It reminded one of those from the…pirates. It was loose on her shoulders, slipping a bit, revealing her bare skin under that cloak. He couldn't restrain himself or his hormones screaming inside him.

She was completely gorgeous. And she was asking him something which he didn't listen at all.

"Sorry, I didn't catch a word you said." He answered shaking his head lightly.

"I asked, what's your businesses with us? Didn't you leave us to…grow up?" Sam said while motioning her hand up and down at his direction as to state her point. "So why would you want to return and why is she here?" She pointed at Katherine while not breaking eye contact with him.

As she was questioning him, Peter noticed the boys leaving the circle to go stand beside Sam or behind her. They followed her now, he could see that and they somehow looked good too. Presentable. Clean. Healthy. She sure did a hell of a job in conquering their trust.

"The "she" has a name you know?" Katherine said, her voice bitter and her eyes full of something he couldn't discern. Sam took her eyes off of him and glanced at his "sister" with those eyes that searched an answer and it seemed she had found a pleasing one because she had a small smile displayed on her mouth.

"And what might that name be?"

"Katherine. Now please will someone explain me what's going on here?" She turned her head to Peter. "Do you know her Peter?"

"Yes. Well, at least I knew her when I brought her from your world." He said, already starting to regret what he would say.

"From our world? Peter what do you mean?" Katherine looked confused while Sam watched the scene taking place in front of her with a mix of curiosity and vigilance.

"You haven't told her about me." She stated simply.

"Yea, I haven't. I never thought I would need to tell her or see you again."

He paid attention to his "sister" now.

"Kath, do you remember the stories of your house previous owners?" She nodded as he continued. "Of how they had a daughter so pretty and kind, with beautiful auburn hair that in a night disappeared, never to return again?" At that he raised his head to look straight into Sam's eyes.

"Well, she never ran away, in your world that is. She came to another world entirely, with a boy who craved for adventure as much as she did. A world in which time doesn't exist." He ended talking while the face of the girl he stared kept itself even, absent of emotion.

"So, you are the daughter of the couple that sold their house to us after a year of searching." Kath said just as she putted the pieces together. "You are prettier than I have imagined." She said flatly.

"What do you mean "sold their house"?!" Sam was trying to hide her panic from them but he could see it. He could feel all his friends taking a step closer to her, as if to protect her from something. Bunny looked concerned too and held her hand, while she tightened her grip onto his hand.

"Sam, you need to remain calm ok?" Peter told her while taking a few steps closer to her, landing his hand on her cloaked shoulder.

Her eyes searched his.

"What do you mean "sold their house" Peter? What happened to my parents?" She was desperate now, her whole body trembling under his hand. "Where are they?"

"Sam, I only know what Kath told me and the little I could gather on my own. They…"

"THEY WHAT PETER?!" She was trying to hold back tears now. He needed to tell her but he thought he would never have to do this. It wasn't in his plans.

"Well, they died two years ago Sam." He said, getting over with it already.

That was it. When he said those words he wished he hadn't spoken them. He wished he could go back in time and tell himself not to tell her. Her eyes were locked on his but he knew she wasn't actually looking at him. Her mind was elsewhere.

"Sam…" Bunny called out to her, concern showing all over his face. She blinked once, coming back from the shock while shaking her head. She opened her eyes, gave a weak smile to Bunny and looked back to Peter. He knew she was holding back, not wanting to show weakness in front of the boys.

"Well, it sure as hell hurts to know the truth…" her voice was cracked. Sam cleared her throat and started talking again. "…but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be known. Thanks for telling me this Peter." He squeezed her shoulder but she darted past him going into Katherine's direction.

"Well, you guys can tell us your intentions tomorrow. You must be tired right? Walking on this forest or the first time isn't easy."

"That's so true. Thank you Samantha." Kath smiled for the first time since they entered the cave but didn't pay her respects to Sam after discovering the fate of her parents.

"Don't mention it. And please, call me Sam."

"Alright, Sam."

Peter could only watch what was happening in front of him. While he watched them he felt someone pulling his shirt. It was Bunny.

"Are you really Peter?" He looked suspicious.

"Of course I am, Bunny. Did I change that much as to not be recognized by the mightiest boys in Neverland?"

"It is you." The little one smiled. "Peter, she is acting strange isn't she?" he said, tilting his head into Sam's direction.

"Yes. She just discovered some terrible news. I don't think she will be the same for a little while."

"Will you talk to her? Please Peter, she will never talk to me about this things." He was pleading to him.

"I'll see what I can do Bunny."

All of a sudden the two girls were in front of him.

"Bunny, please lead Katherine to my room. She will be sleeping there. Peter you might want to accompany Slim to his room. You can put your stuff there. As for the rest of you you're all dismissed."

They all just stared at Sam while she went to pick her bow and quiver.

"Where are you going Sam? You just got back." That was Michael.

"I need some fresh air. That's all guys." She looked back at them.

"For God's sake I'll be back. I'll just hunt something." And after saying that she darted out of the cave, leaving all of them standing there.

He went after her. His feet moved by themselves. He knew she wouldn't talk to him, but he felt responsible for what had happened and he needed to discuss things with her.

"Peter!" Someone screamed behind him, but he didn't give a damn.

She was sitting a few trees away with her arms wrapped around her knees and her head resting on them. He could hear her sobbing. It was heartbreaking and he was the one who had given her reason to be like that. He squeezed his neck letting out a sigh and went to sit beside her.

She kept crying while he seated next to hear, it was like she couldn't hear him. He sat there for a few minutes until he, in the spur of the moment placed his right arm above her shoulders. At the instant he placed it there she raised her head and looked at him for the first time, taking notice of his mature features now. She really looked at him.

He thought, as she watched him that she looked beautiful even with those swollen eyes and red nose. She crashed into him, hugging him tightly and crying more than he thought possible. He rubbed her back making soothing circles while with the other he stroked her hair gently, kissing it and saying he was sorry over and over again.

When he felt her arms slip away from him, he let go of her. She rubbed her sleeves at her nose. She was devastated. It moved him so because he had only seen her stronger side. Not ever had he seen her cry her heart out like that. He scooped her face with both his hands and dried one tear with his thumb. Sam closed her eyes and rested her head onto his palm while squeezing his wrists as in a way to say thank you. He looked at her lips.

They were a few inches from his. They were a light shade of pink and he couldn't take his eyes off of them. He ran his thumb over them. An act which he realized a little late was a mistake. Her eyes darted open, accusingly and she got to her feet looking down at him.

"What the hell were you doing?" She shot back at him. Her eyes angry and her voice hoarse.

"I was just…"

"Just what? Comforting me? Well thanks for that. It was an expected act coming from you, since you were the one who brought me such horrible news. Now please tell me, how did they die?" She hugged herself as if for protection.

"In a car accident. They had moved to live in the country, away from the place which reminded them too much of you." She closed her eyes at that statement. "One night, they were coming back from a friend's house and a truck invaded the other side of the road. It was an instant kill. That's all I managed to find out. I really am sorry."

"Oh god! It's all my fault. I should have gone back when I had got the chance. Hell, I shouldn't have even come to Neverland in the first place. But why they sold the house? Why they had to move? I left a letter behind. Didn't they read it?" She was now murmuring to herself.

"About that letter…"

"What did YOU do?" She already accused him without a doubt.

"I… please don't hate me for this." He hesitated a little before talking. "I took it." She gasped, steadying herself in the tree beside her. "I thought no one should know the reasons why you had left and you shouldn't have written something to your parents if you really wanted to come here with me. That's what I thought back then." She was crying silent tears now while her eyes accused him of some inexcusable crime. It was breaking his heart.

"You thought…" She darted towards him, punching him hard on his already bruised face. But he didn't say anything. He deserved it and he knew. She kept hitting him in his chest, tears falling from her eyes. "You bastard! How could you? That was not your decision to make. I can't believe you would do…" But he wasn't listening anymore. He had grabbed her wrists and looked down at her. He was taller than her now, something he enjoyed very much.

"Let go of me you asshole." But at the minute she opened her mouth to keep insulting him he crashed his lips into hers. He couldn't wait anymore to kiss her. And her unstoppable showering of insults towards him was making him impatient.

He kissed her passionately. Her lips were soft and tasted sweet against his own lips. While he tasted her he realized he had been starving. He had been wanting to do this since the moment he realized his feelings for her. He tasted her once more before she pushed him away, looking perplexed.

"What's wrong with you?"

"There's nothing wrong with me." He said pulling her lips back to his once more but she bitted his lips to free herself from him.

"What the fuck Peter!" She was starting to cry again.

"I just discovered I lost my parents. Also I'm trying to deal with the fact that you're back after months, or what appears to have been years, since you abandoned me and the lost boys without a word, the fact that I've spent years in here too and now you are also all grown up and back with someone, a girl, I know nothing off. So please excuse me if to add up my list of problems, I can't seem to handle the fact of you kissing me out of nowhere." She was shouting at him.

He was rubbing his hand in his face and through his hair in frustration.

"Sam, please listen to me…"

"No, you listen to me Peter. I've suffered my share in this land already at Hook's ship…"

"HOOK?! WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH HIM? WHEN DID YOU MEET HIM?!" He was shaking her while gripping at her arms.

"Let me go Peter! It's not of your concern and it never was anyway."

"Of course it is. Damn Sam, where you with him when you disappeared? When I was looking for you?"

She didn't answer.

"Fine. Don't tell me." He was so angry he thought he could knock a tree down with a punch.

"I'm tired of this. I'll deal with you later Peter. I'm too hurt to discuss anything with you at the moment." She said, trying to go past him but he blocked her way.

"You think you're the only one? The only one who has suffered Sam? Please!" He was looking into her eyes. "Everyone, including me, has its scars. We just don't all wear them on the outside like you seem to be doing."

She looked offended by the words he said to her, but he wouldn't say he was sorry. He knew he was right. When she started to walk again he grabbed her by the wrist.

"You know you need to move on now. You need to be strong for the ones you seem to leading. And you know that moving on is not to forget. It just means you have to accept what happened and continue living." He said, his voice serious.

"You seem to have a whole lot of experience on doing that."

"I do. Because that's what I did when I thought you left me and the boys all those years ago."

Sam looked one more time at his green and strong eyes before getting her things and head back to the cave.

"We're not done you know?!" He shouted back at her.

She stopped in the middle of her walk, turned back to face him and shouted back.

"Oh, but we sure as hell are."
