A/N: YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ THIS BUT YOU WON'T DIE IF YOU DO. TO GO TO THE ACTUAL CHAPTER SKIP TO THE *. Okay, so here is my chapter 4 or 3 or...i dont care anymore as long as its finished...I'm still kinda mad but I'm going to use my frustrations to try to spit out a good chapter. I apologize for my extreme outburst in my previous end rant... Please turn in your O.C's immediately if you want a chance to be in my book. HAHA! Vside just loaded up...I'm multitasking don't judge me lol. That's the end of my daily rant (it was short today huh? Not feeling all that hot today...)
Third Person Point of View (P.O.V.)...here we go folks...
After a tense cold dinner with Pan, Jason headed down the large halls of the underground headquarters towards the kitchen. He didn't walk...more like stormed down to the lowest part of the Burrow, where the kitchen lied. With each furious stomp he grew increasingly angry at the thought of this girl. Why was she even here?! It had been years since a someone became lost but never had it been known for a girl to show up! There was a reason for that. There had to be! When he reached the kitchen door he was surprised to find it cracked. Happy laughter floated through it.
For reasons that he didn't understand he didn't walk in but instead peered at the scene through the crack in the door. The girl, Mari, was standing over a large pot, spoon in hand as stared into it. A smile was curving itself around her full lips, showing pronounced dimples. Jason was shocked to find himself enjoying it, enthralled by the pure happiness that shined from it. Next to the girl was a tall boy with tanned skin (very unusual for a Lost Boy unless he left the Burrow regularly. And only scouts did and it seemed like the boy couldn't handle being a scout.) and curly brown hair. He kept hovering closer and closer to her without her knowledge.
"Now Chessy," Mari began as she hit the spoon over the side of the pot. By now The Boy, Chessy (What kind of name was Chessy?, Jason thought.) was right behind her and when she turned to address him she shrieked. "My God! When did you get over here?" A slight pink color rose to his cheeks and he opened his mouth to respond but she continued brushing past him (his blush dramatically increased as his eyes widen at her touch.) "Come here. You have to learn to do this." She was standing over a counter with a half filled sack of potatoes. She took one out and motioned for him to come. He stood awkwardly near her.
"I really don't think this is necessary-"
"I don't care. I'm putting you to work even if you don't want to. Now give me that knife," She commanded as grabbed it from his hand. "This is how you peel a potato without cutting the whole thing up..." She began running the knife around it focused completely on the task. The Boy watched her face intensely instead of her hands, barely even noticing what she was trying to teach him. When Mari finally spared a glance up at him she furrowed her brow. "You're not even listening! What's wrong with you?" Realizing he was staring at her she raised the hand with the potato in it to her face. "Is there something there?" She asked in horror.
The fact that she didn't realize that the boy liked her and the fact that he was so obvious about just solidified Jason's resolve that they were both idiots. What else could they be? But he still didn't move from his hiding place and watched them intently. The way she moved was fascinating...What? No, Jason shook his head roughly. He would not think like that. She was a stupid girl...even if she was a little cute when she thought something was on her face...!
To hide his embarrassment at being caught Chestnut quickly snatched the potato out of Mari's hand and began jogging around the kitchen with it.
"Wait, what? Give it back!" Her eyes widened once again in surprise and she shook the knife at him. All he did was laugh a little and shake the poor vegetable in the air. She began to chase after him waving the knife as she demanded her food back. Idiots, Jason thought. Over a potato...There's a whole sack not even two feet away and she is chasing him...around the kitchen...with a knife...for a potato... Chestnut made the fatal mistake of opening the in an attempt to escape. Jason quickly straightened and curled a scowl on his face.
Both Mari and Chestnut froze, Mari in confusion and embarrassment and Chestnut in mixture of shock and fear. Why was his heart suddenly beating so fast? All that idiot girl had done was softly part her lips and tilt her curly head a little. No need to go off the deep end, Jason thought furiously to himself. To hide his own frustration at his thoughts, Jason began to speak curtly.
"What are you doing in here?" He directed this cold question at Chestnut, who began to stutter out apologies and excuses. Jason turned away from he cutting his eyes at Mari. "Come here." Mari walked as slow as possible toward him, wondering what in the world he wanted. "Hurry up," he snapped. "Pan hasn't got all day."
"Pan?" Both Chestnut and Mari questioned.
"Yes, Pan. You are really slow aren't you." Jason turned and walked away quickly, not even waiting for her. Why did she have to blink her gorgeous brown eyes at him like that? There would no way on earth that he would be able to ignore that! He tightened his jaw, trying to force the images of her lips out of his mind. He couldn't...Especially if he was leading her to Pan's bedroom!
For her part Mari just followed him quietly, her head still cocked, perplexed. Who was he? She knew him from somewhere...it was hard to not remember where she had saw this tall, emerald eyed guy. How could she forget the auburn red hair? She was so focused gazing up at his head as he lead her down several hallways. It had to be here, but she didn't think she had met him before now. Where?! It was becoming increasingly irritating that she couldn't remember this boy! Goodness! She was walking quickly but wasn't paying attention to where she was going. So when she crashed into Jason's back she reared back in shock, falling.
Before he could even stop himself Jason had grabbed her, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her up to his chest. Mari was still reeling from hitting her head on his back. What was he made of? Granite?
He stared,taking advantage of the fact the fact that she seemed to be completely out of it. She had shoulder length hair, fixed in these odd curly thick strands. A small button nose, and full lips on a heart shaped faced (her eyes were squeezed shut in pain.). And she smelled of vanilla (Something she had taken a special liking to in the kitchen). Jason blinked, feeling heat rise to his face as she looked up somewhat bewildered into his glittering eyes.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just wasn't watching where I was going-" She began to apologize, feeling self satisfaction. The one glimpse she had caught of him without the perpetual scowl on his face had made the memory of him resurface .But before she could even finish he had pushed her away, the scowl had come back at full force.
"Why weren't you? You can't be so stupid around Pan when you get there! God, are you a complete moron?" Jason spit the words out quickly, trying to cover up for the fact that he had held her way to long. His chest was already constricting, missing the warmth of her against it.
Mari felt her cheeks warm in anger. Who did he think he was? Besides a human wall?! But she choked down the angry words, trying to contain her temper which had this irritating way of manifesting itself in the most inappropriate of places in times. She couldn't afford to curse him out...Not if she wanted to stay here. She tilted her head downwards, letting the hair fall into her face, a habit she had that came up whenever she felt embarrassed, uncertain, angry...or just needed to hide. Jason took this as a sign of hurt (really she just wanted to put him in his place) and felt guilt rising fast in his chest.
What reason did he have to be guilty? He didn't mean to make her upset...Geez, the more time he spent with her the more he wanted to please her. He cursed himself quietly, but began to speak just as coldly as before.
"We are here." Mari risked a peek up at him, through her lashes. Immediately Jason's heart began to beat in that odd fast pace.
"Where?" She said, looking around curiously. All she saw was one door behind him and it looked like a bedroom door.
"Right in front of you!" He seethed out furiously. She was adorable with that childlike curiosity all over her face. But that question had reminded him that she was going to Pan's bedroom...And not his...Whoa! He could not be thinking like. And right in front of Pan's door. That was a sign that it was time for him to get away from her and stay away.
Mari shook her head. "No, that's a bedroom door."
"Yes, of course it is. It's Pan's door." All signs of calm disappeared from her face. She glared suspiciously at the door. How dare he bring her here! Pan didn't even like her! He was dangerous and mean. What was the point of even being bothered with her?!
Jason found a smirk pulling at the corner of his mouth. Really, now wasn't she being a little dramatic? He found satisfaction in knowing that she obviously didn't want to be anywhere near Pan's room. She looked as if she was being forced into Hell's Gate.
"I think I need to meet him in a meeting room." Mari said through clenched teeth. She was trying to the fact that Jason seemed to be amused by her uncomfortableness. "I'm not going in there."
"Yes, you are." He stated firmly as he walked away. He really wanted to just take her with him, give in to what she wanted. He knew she didn't necessarily want to go with him but she didn't want to go into Pan's bedroom.
Mari gaped at him in horror. He was walking away...He was leaving her...He was gone...He had left her in front of the Lion's Den! She turned toward the door again. Really now, she thought pessimistically. Why not just kill me now?
A/N : Yea so...it's done...not as good as the original...I'm seriously upset about this but right now that's as good as it gets... anyway...this was the original A/N for chapter 3.
A/N: LOL Jason's got some major hormones doesn't he? Guys keep in mind, that all the boys she is encountering have rarely seen girls. And several of them are going through the puberty which seeing as their body is growing extra slow (Neverland Syndrome, I'll get into that later) last hundreds of years...So yea...I feel bad for them but I'm the one doing that to them! Aren't I mean? And what's up with Chestnut? Isn't he a sweetie pie? Heads up I am about to start on that chapter. Just so you know the scene is not supposed to sexual (idk what goes through everyone's mind...) but more of sad moment for the both of them. I just needed a way to play it out and that seemed to be the most expressive way (I know you're probably wondering what in the world is going through that psychotic place called my mind. So do I.) Yes it is a depressing. I would like to keep what Jonathan did (remember him?) a secret but I'll get into a little just for you guys. And I hope none of you have forgotten but Pan has a lot of secrets...my daily rants...aren't they fun? OH THEME SONG OF THIS CHAP IS Clumsy by Fergie...dedicated to Chestnut...so love struck.
END OF RANT
Okay...not really end of rant...I am now working on...Chapter 5? I think? I suck at keeping order which is really bad since I'm doing this on a computer...I need comments/reviews please...I really want to know what you think of this..And heads up...All A/N's should be bold now because it seems that my little footnote lines don't show up on fanfic. It's just to let you know what is the chapter and what is not. Chapter 5 is where all the action comes in/starts.
REAL END OF RANT.
