Chief Powhaten frowned as he noticed the absence of his daughter once again. He turned to his youngest daughter who stood there nervously.
"Where is your sister Tiger Lily?" He questioned the young, innocent girl. She looked up at him before sighing. "She's not here. She left again" Tiger Lily looked to the woods.
"You know you can't keep Pocahontas in one place for long" she defended her sister the best she could while her father frowned. "It's getting to be more dangerous. We have that boy here, and he's been finding it fun to fight our hunters." Powhaten looked out at the forest with a frown while the medicine man looked at him.
"Do not worry so much my chief. Pocahontas is stronger than any man here." This ony caused Powhaten's frown to grow. "Yes, she has a way of getting around our ancient customs. She is reckless, and the boy is cunning. I worry she'll find herself into trouble she won't be able to escape one day." The tribe stared out into the forest where Pocahontas was no doubt exploring.
"The camp's grown" Pocahontas stated as she walked around it. She looked at the various boys running around. She narrowed her eyes at the weapons. "Crossbows Peter? You do realize how dependent those ridiculous things make a person don't you?" She crossed her arms and gave him an exhasperated look. "They weigh you down. and take more time to reload. Completely useless ways to hunt." Peter grinned at her with a smug look in his eyes.
"You know how difficult it is to learn to shoot a bow, it hardly seems worth it. We get so many new recruits" Peter told her as he leaned in towards her. She frowned at his answer as she looked around at the number of boys and sighed. "I suppose that's true, you do have a large number of boys here now." She looked around before spotting an unconscious Henry.
"I suppose he's the newest recruit?" She paused. "He doesn't seem your usual sort. He maintains his faith in his family" Peter smirked. "You know that attitude doesn't stay forever." He put an arm around her waist and transported them to his treehouse.
She spun out of his arms immediatly. "Just what was that?" She glared at him as he grinned. "Why I was just transporting us somewhere where we could talk." His eyes darkened "About what happened when you left Neverland" Pocahontas noticed how he tensed at mentioning it and sighed. "As you know, there was a small group of men from the land without magic here at the time, with a way to produce portals. They attacked my tribe-" "They shouldn't have been that much of a fight! You alone should have been able to handle half of them at least! How did they manage to capture you!" Heinterrupted her abruptly, fury on his face. Pocahontas stepped closer to him and ran her fingers through his hair.
"Calm down. I'll tell you" He visibly calmed. She looked at him. "They managed to capture Tiger Lily. As you know, I broke tribe traditions in learning to fight, in speaking to men as I do. Tiger Lily was silent unless given permission to speak around men. She didn't follow orders well, and was as untrained as a girl can be. John Smith had returned under the delusion that he would be capable of forcing my hand in marriage. He offered a trade. Me for Tiger Lily. I agreed." Peter narrowed his eyes in anger. "The man didn't have a clue who he was trying to force to do something. As soon as he used the portal I killed him and his men with the intention of using his compass to return here. He managed to destroy it before he died, so I was forced to seek out another way to return home. I was dumb enough to seek out Rumplestiltskin, who then ensured I would be stuck in his and The Evil Queen's curse." Peter tightened his fist in anger, before relaxing. He had two culprits he could repay, and he would, but right now there were more important things to think about.
He reached to her neck and touched her necklace with a smirk. "I see you found it once again." Pocahontas touched it lightly as she turned towards the forest. "But of course. This necklace is very dear to me" She turned and started to walk off.
"I have an island to become reacquainted with. I'll be sure to visit soon. Try not to be too harsh in whatever game your in now" Peter's eyes darkened as he watched her walk away. So, she was already starting up a game of her own with him. He smirked, she would become involved in the game, and he would win.
Pocahontas smiled as she touched the trees filled with pixie dust. She had gone off further than she thought. She turned as she heard a noise. "Tink?" She asked into the woods before seeing a...boy, he looked her age actually. "Who are you?" She watched as the boy played with his pipes...pipes, that meant-
"Are you one of the hunters then? The ones who capture the hunters of my tribe?" She hid a smile. He looked at her curiously.
"You noticed me faster than any other of your tribe. Who are you?" She grinned "Pocahontas, I have to admit, the way you captured Cocoum was...amusing, however humiliating as well" He grinned at her. "Oh?" He took a step closer. "Perhaps you'd be more of a challenge" She grinned at him, before turning and heading for the woods.
"You'll have to catch me to find out hunter" and she was off, faster than even he could run through the woods. He grinned, this could prove...interesting"
