Chapter 4
Peter's POV
"Violet. My name is Violet" she smiled and then walked away. I couldn't help but watch as she did. I'd tried to avoid her the past few days, hoping that things would change between us. I was still looking for the Heart of the Truest Believer and no one, not even a pretty face, would get in my way.
As I watched the flames dance, I felt Felix sit down next to me. I had a feeling I knew what he was going to say and it had something to do with Violet.
"Why is she here?" he asked. I guessed right.
I turned to him, trying to concentate. "She's here for a very special reason. She doesn't know it but she soon will" I smirked, watching her from a distance.
"Why? What is it about here that makes her worthy of staying in Neverland?"
I turned to him with my usual devilish smile. "Lets just say there's a dark side behind those pretty, grey eyes"
Violet's POV
I was starting to lose it. I hadn't seen Aiden or Emma in two weeks and I had an incredibly strong feeling that they were either in serious trouble or dead. Probably the latter with our mother and all the useless men she brings home. No wonder I've never met my dad.
I was sharpening a spear by the fire quite ferociously, my head in another world, when someone tapped on my shoulder. I expected it to be Pan and I internally groaned until I turned and saw the cute face of Liam.
"Can I sit next to you?" He asked, politely. Liam wasn't like the other lost boys. Even though he still loved to run around and have fun, he was also still polite and caring. This was a rare sight in the Lost Boys so I appreciated it to no end. He kind of reminded me of Aiden with his soft, brown hair and bright blue eyes.
"Sure, kiddo" I smiled and he perched next to me.
"What's up with you?" Liam asked after a long silence.
I looked at him with the fakest smile I could muster. "Nothing. Why would anything be wrong?"
"Because you never smile. Even when you're happy so I'm assuming that you're hiding something"
I huffed and dropped the smile. "I just... I really miss my brother and sister. I'm also incredibly worried about them. My mum isn't very motherly at all and quite frankly, couldn't take care of a goldfish"
"Tell Pan. I'm sure he'd understand"
I just gave him a look of 'Are you kidding?' and he rolled his eyes.
"He likes you." Liam stated and I turned to argue with him before he shushed me. "Don't try and deny it, I can see it in his face. He might let you go"
I highly doubted it but with Liam's constant badgering and my desperate want to get home, I decided to give it a shot. I walked over to Pan who was sat doing his usual whispers with Felix. They stopped as soon as I came over and Felix got up and trasped away, doing his usual sulky look.
"Good Lord, does that guy need to lighten up" I said, watching him leave. Pan cracked a smile but it went as quickly as it came.
"What do you want, Violet?" He asked, crossing his arms.
I looked at my feet. This was a stupid thing to ask and he would probably say no.
"I... I was wondering... if" I stuttered.
"If you could go and see your siblings in the other realm?" Peter finished the question for me.
I looked at him, startled. "How did you know what I was going to say?"
"I've heard you talking about them and do you not remember some of the first few words you said to me about how you 'have responsibilities back home'"
"And?" I asked hopefully.
He smiled and I filled with joy until he opened his stupid mouth. "No. No one leaves this island unless I want them to and I don't want you to leave"
A sudden and unexpected amount of rage bubbled up inside me. This stupid and irresponsible boy was telling me that I couldn't get a glimpse of my little brother and sister. My face turned into that of rage.
"Are you kidding me?! I want and need them! I don't need you! In fact, I hate you. I don't want to be anywhere near you! And you can go fall off a cliff for all I care!" I screamed, punching him in the chest. He grabbed my wrists so I couldn't move but I wrenched them out of his grip. "Don't touch me!"
Pan's face remained the same. "You're not going anywhere"
I felt my hands ball into fists as they shook with anger. "You don't tell me what to do!"
He smirked to himself. "That's funny because I can make you do whatever I want," he said, closing the space between our faces until our eyes were only centimetres apart, "And you can't do a thing to stop me"
I glared at him with pure anger and hatred. How could someone be so wicked? Here's me thinking he wasn't all that bad.
"Burn in hell" I said through gritted teeth before I felt the ground move beneath our feet. The trees began to shake and the boys started to fall over. Peter looked at me and grabbed my arms.
"Get off!" I screamed and the ground jolted so powerfully that we all hit the floor. I lifted my head to see the camp was damaged. Some of the huts had collapsed and a few trees had fallen over. What just happned? Was that an... earthquake?
Before I could register what was going on, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and pull me up. I immediately turnd around and pushed the culprit away.
"How many times do I have to say it? Don't touch me!" I seethed at the boy in green. He just stood there, scowling at me.
I again looked at the camp and looked at my hands.
"Did I do this?" I whispered to myself.
"Yes" said Pan. I looked up at him to see he was smiling but his eyes said he wasn't happy at all. He took a dangerous step towards me so I stepped back myself. He reached his arm out to grab me but I turned away and ran.
How could I have caused such devastation? I don't have magic! I don't have powers! I'm normal. I continued to run despite hearing shouts from Peter and the Lost Boys. I could feel tears brimming up in my eyes as I continued to run even though my legs were screaming for me to stop.
I finally collapsed in a heap on the floor, unable to go on. I sobbed. Just lay and cried at what I'd become. At what this place had done to me. What Pan had done to me.
As my tears fell, I heard rolling thunder and a drop of water hit my face when I looked up at the menacingly grey sky. I just ignored the rain and huddled under a tree, crying because I hadn't let myself do it before.
Poor Violet.
