After we had run a ways, I looked over at Henry to see the poor kid struggling to catch his breath. I took over, knowing that he wouldn't last much longer. "Hey, mystery boy?" He looked back at us, a questioning look on his face. "I think we should stop."

The boy nodded, slowing down to walk beside us before stopping. "I think we lost them."

I went and stood over by Henry, who was sitting against a tree trunk. I patted him on the head, letting him know that everything was going to be alright. I could feel the boy staring at us, before he decided to talk. "Your new. Did the shadow take you too?"

Henry, still sitting down, gave a sad smile and shook his head. "No, I was kidnapped by some people who work for Pan."

The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned to me. "What about you?"

I scoffed. "What, you think I was just going to let my little bro get taken to another land without me?" I ruffled Henry's hair again, looking down at him with a smile. "I don't think so."

The boy looked slightly sympathetic. "I'm sorry. If Pan sent for you, he wants you. And if he wants you, he'll get you."

I raised my eyebrows in surprise. "Wow. Confident, much?" The lost boy sent me an annoyed look.

Henry, now wary, asked "why does Pan want you?" The boy reached behind the scarf he was wearing, and grabbed what looked like a container of sand off of a necklace.

"Pixie dust. I stole it from him, hoping I could use it to fly away and go home." He let go of the cord, letting it settle under his scarf again. "But it doesn't work. It's useless."

From the stories I had heard of Peter Pan, and from the short amount of time I had been here, I assumed that Pan wasn't the type to just let a thief go so easily. I narrowed my eyes at the boy thoughtfully. Something wasn't right here.

Henry interrupted my thoughts. "Don't worry. My family's coming to rescue us. You could come with us."

The boy laughed, and I knew that he didn't expect any help to come for us. "Do you really think you're the first boy to think his family is actually coming for him?"

Okay, I was getting tired of this. Why was this boy so adamant on crushing Henry's hope of having his family coming for him? I was about to speak my mind, but Henry beat me to it. "My family's different. We always find each other."

The boy snorted, obviously not believing any of what Henry said, then turned to me. "Well then, what about you? Is your family coming to save you too?"

I stiffened, feeling my insides go numb and my hands start to get icy. Calm down, conceal it, I told myself. But that didn't help the growl from escaping my lips, aimed at him. "I don't have any family...accessible, right now."

He raised an eyebrow. "Calm down, girl. No need to get all...icy." I flinched, realizing just how close he was to the truth.

Henry quickly stood up, noticing how close I was to letting go. He put a hand on my shoulder and gave me a reassuring look, before turning to the boy. "It's gonna be okay. I promise. Don't lose hope." Henry let go of my shoulder and walked closer to the boy. "All we need is time. Is there a place where we can hide from the lost boys?'

The boy sighed. "There is a place where they can't track us." Henry perked up, glad he had gotten the boys mind off of the whole doom and gloom stuff. And also successfully getting my mind off of what was going on inside me. "The Echo Caves. But it's far."

We started running, again. Seriously, it's a good thing I spent all of my free time before meeting Henry running and getting in shape, otherwise I'd be dead by now. The boy was in the front, leading the way. Henry was in the middle, and I brought up the back. I wanted to make sure we didn't lose Henry.

All of a sudden, I was side tackled around my waist and went tumbling down a small hill, still in the other persons arms. The last thing I saw before I rolled out of view was Henry getting ready to jump down the hill, and the boy restraining him, trying to get Henry to run away. I lost sight of Henry and the boy, only hearing Henry shout my name in a panicked voice one last time.

Third Person POV:

Peter grabbed Henry, stopping him before he decided to follow the girl down the hill.

"Aralynn!" Henry yelled, trying futilely to reach the girl. Peter sighed impatiently before sliding back into character. "Stop! We have to run! If we don't the lost boys will catch us and Pan will surely have our heads!"

"But we have to get Ari!" Henry exclaimed, still flailing around. "The lost boys will hurt her!"

"Trust me," Peter reasoned, "she'll be fine. They only want you, so she's safer without us."

Henry stopped fighting. "You promise?"

Peter grabbed the boys shoulders and turned him around, looking him in the eyes before speaking. "I promise you, Aralynn will come to no harm when the lost boys get her. For now, we need to run." Henry, fully listening now, nodded his head, and they started running again.

Peter silently snickered. The boy was so gullible, and so easily persuaded. it wouldn't be difficult for Peter to get his heart. A slight smirk came over Peter's face, invisible to Henry. But just as quickly as it had come, it vanished at the thought of the girl.

He had to find a way to get rid of the girl, and quickly.

Please review! I'm still on the fence about how far I want to take this!
