Thanks to everyone who's reviewed so far! Especially GingerGeekGal1786 for reviewing almost every chapter, if not all. (No sarcasm intended) It always makes me happy seeing a review! I always thought other authors were over exaggerating on the whole 'getting high off of reviews' but now I know exactly how it feels. So I figured I should post this one right away, even though it's only been like two days since the last chapter. But, sadly, another chapter won't be coming until later this week so I thought this one would hold you all off... But, anyways, here's more Ari!

Aralynn POV:

I rolled to a stop, landing a few feet from the boy who had tackled me. Jumping to my feet, I looked over to see that the boy was the same person from earlier, the one with the club. Realizing that he was getting up, I turned to run, only to bump into another boy. I glanced around me, belatedly noticing that I was surrounded.

"Well, well," a voice drawled behind me, "looks like the girlie's got some fire running through her veins.

Turning around to face the blondie, I scoffed, thinking about just how far from the truth he really was.

Thinking that my irritated noise was one of defiance, the head boy's face quickly turned menacing, and he strode over to where I was standing. Having nowhere else to go in the group of boys, I slowly walked backwards until my back hit the rough bark of a tree.

The boy stopped mere inches from my face. "You got something you want to say, girl?" He spat out the words, looking pissed off. I shook my head, knowing the smartest route out of here was to keep quiet. Otherwise, the boy might decide to use his club on my head, and that wouldn't go over well.

He looked into my eyes, trying to see if I was lying. I made my eyes turn cold so that he couldn't see what was running through my mind. After a few seconds he backed away. "Good," was all he said before he turned to face the rest of the lost boys.

"We got her boys!" He shouted to them. All around me, all I could hear was the whooping and hollering of the crazy boys. These boys are demented, I thought. No wonder they're on Neverland.

All of a sudden, I felt hands wrap around my waist before picking me up and draping me over a shoulder. All I could see was the ground bouncing underneath me, swaying from the lost boys' loping steps. He had one arm firmly around my waist, and the other under my knees, keeping me on his shoulder.

"PUT ME DOWN!" I shouted, pissed off that they had just treated me like a sack of potatoes. I started pounding my fists against the boys' hard back, feeling the muscles that were taut from carrying me. I heard the boy carrying me laugh, a deep, rumbling laugh that I could feel reverberating through his chest.

"She's a feisty one, Felix," he said. "I can see Pan keeping her." Wait a minute, keeping me? Excuse me? No one on this island is going to 'keep me'. I heard Felix chuckle from somewhere behind the boy. So he was somewhere in my view then. I craned my head up and caught the blonde glancing at me, a small smirk on his face.

He shook his head at me before smiling mockingly. "You know what to do with her Alec," he said. "I have to take the other boys to…" he paused, and I knew that what he had been about to say was important. "...do the job Pan told us to do."

The boy carrying me chuckled again before replying. "I know what you mean, man. Just go before Pan gets pissed off and kicks both our asses."

I caught one more glimpse of Felix before he disappeared out of view, bringing half the lost boys around me with him. I sighed, knowing I was stuck here for the time being. The boy started walking in the opposite direction that I had rolled from, so I knew he wasn't going to the Echo caves. Good, I thought to myself, at least some of these boys aren't going to look for Henry. Or the boy. I was still curious as to who he was, but I couldn't think about that now. I had to focus on keeping this group of boys away from those two. Even though it was a small group- about six or seven boys- it was still better than all of them following Henry. I turned my head, trying to catch at least a glance of the boy carrying me. All I could see was a lightly tanned shoulder, and dark brown hair that had a slight curl, just barely touching his ears.

I cleared my throat, earning a few glares from some of the boys walking around the boy carrying me. I tried again, before speaking to the boy beneath me. "Soooo, may I ask where you're taking me?"

He rolled his shoulders, causing me to move up and down like I was on a wave. "Back to camp," he said like it was obvious. "Where else would we be taking you?"

"Oh, I don't know," I said sarcastically, "maybe you're going to tie me up to a tree. Maybe you might drop me off a cliff. Or, maybe you might tie my hands and feet up and drop me into the ocean! There's so many options! You can't blame me for asking."

Everyone was silent for a minute, before the brunette broke out in laughter, the other boys following soon after. I laughed quietly as well, mentally rolling my eyes. It seemed these boys find everything funny on this island.

After a few seconds of his shoulders bouncing me up and down, they all calmed down, and Alec replied. "Man, feisty, strong, pretty, and funny?" He jokingly stated. I tensed up at the compliment. "What are we going to do with you?" He dramatically sighed.

"You know," I said, "I did just give you some suggestions a few seconds ago. I mean, you really have plenty of options if you ask me. I bet you could think up something in that big head of yours."

He gasped jokingly. "I am wounded!" He chuckled again. Man, his laugh is gorgeous. Wait, did I just think that? I seriously need to get a grip on my thoughts, otherwise this trip won't end well for me. Or Henry. Right, back on track. I waited until the boy fell silent again, then started asking questions. "Well, how long until we get to this 'camp'?"

"Why do you want to know?" He replied. "You uncomfortable?"

"Well, it is quite hard on my back," I stated sarcastically. "I'm not used to being able to bend over until I touch my toes." I shifted a bit, digging my nails into his back so I could keep my balance, and not face plant into his back.

All of a sudden, the boy inhaled slightly and tightened his arm on my waist, causing me to gasp in surprise and slight pain. His fingers were digging into my waist. "Ouch!" I exclaimed. "Why'd you do that? I'm not going anywhere!"

"Don't do that," was all that he hissed out. I was confused. What had I done wrong? After a few seconds, I felt the boy's grip loosen slightly, seeing as I wasn't doing anything anymore. And then he stopped.

Before I could ask why we had stopped, he grabbed me by the waist and set me on the ground before letting go and stepping back. "Can you walk?"

I blinked in surprise, still wondering why he had put me down. "What?"

He rolled his eyes and sighed impatiently before replying. "I said, can you walk? Because honestly I'm tired of the complaining. Plus, you were getting heavy. How much do you eat?"

I huffed and was about to reply, before seeing him smile and holding his hands up in a placating gesture. "I'm just kidding. I just thought that maybe if you behaved, you could have the freedom to move your own feet." Then he raised an eyebrow suggestively. "Or, you know, if you wanted me to continue carrying you, we could probably work something out."

I laughed at his implication and rolled my eyes. "I think I'm good. If I get tired I'll tell you. Maybe then you can carry me."

He laughed, and we continued on, the other boys surrounding me and Alec, who was behind me. I knew this was my chance to escape, but I wanted to give more time to Henry and the boy. If I could distract this group a little longer, maybe that would give them enough time to get to the Echo caves and wait for Emma and the group to get there. Then, I could think about my own escape. Until then, it was my job to protect Henry, and if that meant staying in captivation, then so be it. I sent a silent prayer to whatever god watched over Neverland. I'm coming for you Henry, just stay safe and wait for me.

I'm sorry there's no Peter in this one. But don't worry, he's in the next chapter! Hopefully I'll get it posted on Friday. I've got plans Wednesday, and Thursday is my choir concert. Yippee I'm going to be in school for 13 hours straight on Thursday... But anyways, please review, especially if you think I could do something better!
