Luna sat at the end of the rocky area around Peter's new hideout. Apparently the tree where they use to have as a home was overrun by the pirates and they had to move to Skull Rock until the problem was solved. Pirates were the main enemy and also the truth behind Alexis's real power. He was the captain of the crew he had picked himself many years after Hooks' dismissal. Peter never gave Luna much detail, Alexis was a topic that neither he nor the boys enjoyed. Worse of all her brother had fallen on his claws, Peter told Luna he was alive but for now it was better to keep a low profile and come in with a new plan. She had of course sat down and tried to ask some questions, but not all of them were answered because Peter was called somewhere to an emergency. She recalled the last meeting she had with them after she had awoken.
"How old are you all?"
"That's a complicated question."
"Why is seeing your faces such a big deal?"
"You wouldn't have been able to see our faces anyway, you didn't believe in anything."
"How is that relevant?"
"It's just one of the wonders of Neverland, Luna."
Luna had questioned the boys, but only Seth and Nick answered her, the other boys were too nervous around Peter to really speak the truth. She could tell by their reaction it was more fear over Peter's reaction towards telling her something she was not supposed to know that not telling her at all. Peter had been resting on his bed, not really caring about it as he played with Silver Bell.
"Why is Neverland frozen?" –She had been looking at Nick, but the question had been for Peter and the boys had flinched knowing what was going on. Luna wanted Peter's attention, but she would never admit it out loud. As a result Peter did not look at her when she asked; he knew her game and just wanted to make her angry,so Luna had pushed the wrong buttons. –"Alexis's said, or rather implied, that it was your fault, Peter." – The boys' eyes had gone wide, only Marcus smirked at Luna's headstrongness.
"He may or may not be wrong," – was all Peter had whispered not bothered by her remark. – "I always get blamed for it anyways."
"What? No happy thoughts to clear the sky?"
"Not if you're around giving me trouble."
"We finally agree on something because I feel the same way!"
"Oh, the joy."
"I believe I saw a piece of sunlight."
Peter had glanced at Luna making her heart beat as his brown eyes pierced her soul not with anger or annoyance but with interest, he was trying to see beyond her mask. As they stared at each other in silence something had started to click in Luna's head, but Peter broke the connection too soon for her to grasp what it had been.
Now she was alone again feeling something was wrong. She started to look around what would be her new temperately home. As Luna looked around the cave she started to get the feeling she was being followed. Her first thought had been it was one of the boys, but remembering their experience in such things she erased the thought. Luna started to feel worried and it bugged her, she wasn't a weak little crying girl, she knew how to manage such situations, she was stubborn, she was proud and someone who could stand her ground, but ever since she had met Peter and the boys she had felt more and more afraid and insecure about every move she made.
Luna stopped and looked back, her mind settled. If she were to save her brother she needed to face her fears and insecurities and what better way than to practice with whoever followed her.
"I know you are following me, show yourself. I have no intentions of fighting, whoever you are, if we can settle it talking," - Luna said waiting for anything in the shadows to move and then when she had thought nothing would, something poked her back making her jump and scream.
"Peace talk? What are we at war?"
Luna looked behind her, a girl stood there her strawberry hair divided in two braids, her skin was pale and she was wearing Indian clothing, but had no similarities to them like Tiger lily had. The girl didn't seem to fit the picture she was in.
"Who are you? You aren't Indian."
"And you're not a lost boy," - the girl responded but had no trace of wrong in her voice.
"Yeah, well,that's because I'm no boy and I'm not lost," - Luna replied and the girl smiled.
"NowI get why she liked you," - the girl said happily then she glanced behind Luna who also looked behind her, but saw nothing. Looking back at the girl she saw she had disappeared.
"What is it with people in Neverland and disappearing?" Luna said frustrated.
"Who are you talking to, Luna?" - Luna screamed surprised, she had not heard a single footstep or sound from the hooded raccoon boy.
"Andrew, are you trying to kill me?" - She had accepted that it was not his fault, but his training and experience in the wild.
"Sorry."
"Why the hood?I saw your face already."
"I'm going out for a moment with Marcus, so I need the hood up."
"Whatever." - Luna hit herself mentally, she never meant to sound so rude to the boy.
"Don't stray from the cave, the others are around so just call them if anything happens," - he said paying no mind at her words and left just as silently as he had appeared. Luna thought she had to consider been nicer around them. But as she began to walk something made her trip and fall into a small slit in the walls of the cave. She hit a cold floor and the smell of humidity hit her nose, she had fallen to the cave's lower areas.
"You should be careful."
"Is it scared Luna to death day or something?" - Luna glared at the girl and noticed she had changed her clothes, to her annoyance it was a brown hoodie jacket and just like the boys it had an animal representing her. –"The hell are you supposed to be?"
"A sloth."
"Weren't you an Indian seconds ago?"
"Weren't you an ice-cube hours ago?"
Both girls stared at each other. Luna's patience was reaching her warning signs.
"How do you know my name, but you are still a question mark?"
"That's because she is not supposed to be here in the first place." - Luna turned at the new turned to see what it was before she actually began to scream her lungs out. - "Better not get too friendly," –the woman was beautiful with long light blue hair and cat-like eyes, but she was not human. She had a tail that classified her as a mermaid. Luna was panicking, she had almost died because of mermaids and now she was stuck with one with no one to help her. "I'm not the one you should worry about." – Luna backed away slowly not looking away from the siren. –"You should be more wary of the pirate behind you." – Luna tuned to the younger female as she smiled.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Cindilu."
