"Cat!" Peter screamed as I ran.

Keep running, I thought, don't look back; looking back is a promise to him and to yourself. Just run.

"Cat, I'm sorry! Come back! You don't know where you're going- you'll get hurt!"

No. I have to get away. This was already painful enough- I couldn't fall for him too. Hook would become even more cruel if he found out I love Peter. No. It's not love.

Peters cries were drowned out by my own powerful thoughts and the now dense forest around me.

I kept running, pushing and shoving my way through the vegetation, doing anything and everything to get further away, ripping away at the vines and the rainforest-like qualities of the area. I continued until I fell onto the ground; tripped by a petty tree root.

"Shit," I mumbled out loud, rubbing my foot in pain. "What the hell tree? What did I do to you?"

Your distraction was so good!

Hook. He was back in the shadows.

"How are you doing that?"

Magic my girl! By the way, I almost believed you for a second! I applaud you!

"What are you on about?" I hissed out into the nothingness.

You kissing Peter. My crew are convinced that you love him!

So he did see it. Bollocks. "What do you want?"

Just to tell you that it's the perfect distraction! You should pursue this role of being his love; Peter will be focused on you and you alone, then when we capture his hideout and burn down his forest, we can also break his oh-so precious heart! It's amazing! Congratulations- you really deserve it!

"Is the heartbreaking part really necessary?" I asked, hoping that Hook would change his mind. Hook didn't reply. Sigh. I guess that's a yes...

I brushed the dust off my legs and dress. and sat there silently. What had I got myself into? Surely a boring life at home was better than…well, whatever this mess was!

A cold breeze came from nowhere, making my hair fly in every direction. I stood up and began to walk;for sitting and freezing to death didn't sound very appealing.

When did everything turn to shit? It was so great- then it turned into this!

I moved aimlessly, trying as hard as possible to stay warm.

So focused in my inner thoughts and struggles, I failed to notice the slowly growing darkness and plants around me. The forest seemed to reflect my emotions; the more tense I became, the thicker and more dangerous it turned. What was wrong with me? Was this whole situation even my fault? Of course it was, I thought, I was the one who fell for the super-attractive (and way out of my league!) teenage boy, not Hook! Not Tink! Me! It was all definitely my fault!

I paced backwards and forwards, but the ground felt different every time I walked over it. One minute it was plain grass with a few weeds,the next, covered in tree roots and stones. What was happening?

The more I thought about it, the increasingly agitated the earth around me became. Before I knew it, the ground, the trees, all of nature seemed to be engulfing me and I did the only thing I knew could save me; I screamed out Peter's name.

(*)

"Tell me you are joking!"

"What do you mean?"

"You're staying behind just because this little slut hurt her poor ankle?!"

"Don't call her that!"

My vision was still blury, but I could just about see a small blonde standing next to Peter, almost screaming down at him.

"That's what she is though, isn't she! She thinks that she can just whip about her shit coloured hair and you'll come running to her on your knees just like…like a dog!"

"Tink please st-"

"No I won't stop! Peter, she almost got you killed in that forest! What would we have done if you died? How would we be able to save the Lost Lost Boys? How would we survive on our own? How would I carry on without you?"

"Tink-"

She reached out and took hold of his wrist, tears swelling up in her eyes, her voice coming to a whisper.

"Please. Just leave her here. The Indians can help her then send her home. Where she belongs. Please Peter, for the Boys…for me…"

"I can't. You know that. I haven't felt this way since…well since..."

"Wendy. It's ok, I've heard this story before. 'You're like my sister Tink! I've looked after you and we've been together since the beginning! We couldn't possibly feel something like love towards each other! I mean that's just crazy!' Sure, the amazing Peter Pan can fall in love after seeing a girl once, but falling for someone he's know literally all his life is just preposterous!"

She fled the room, hands covering her tear-stained face, leaving Peter standing alone. He didn't run after her to apologise, he just remained there, slowly turning around to look at me. He sat down by my side and took hold of my hand, his warmth spreading through my whole, frozen body.

"I love you Cat. I really do. Please remember that. Please don't hate me. I couldn't live with myself if you did."

He got up, releasing my hand, letting it drop to the cold,hard floor, then exited the room. I wanted to stand up, to tell him I loved him too, that there wasn't a single cell in my body even capable of hating him, but I wasn't able to. My eyes fluttered closed and I drifted off into, what I would call, a nostalgic dream.

Hey! It's a Christmas gift for you all! To be completely honest, I had trouble writing this chapter, I just wasn't coming up with ideas like I normally did... I've mostly been thinking about this new idea for a story(if you guys are interested, feel free to pm me (: ) I actually saw a ballroom dance with people dressed as Tink and Peter that gave me that 'push' that I truly needed to carry on with the story!

Anyway, thanks for reading the chapter! A big thank you to all the who favourited or followed the story!

Also, we reached 3,000 views! That's really crazy!
