Trapped in Neverland

11

Pan stands on the boat deck, his hands in his pockets, ever the picture of beauty and false innocence. He looks at me and Felix and the girls, but his usually disdainful look is calm and clear. In fact, he almost seems happy, if not for the obvious wounds here and there, I wouldn't even realize it was Pan in the first place.

"Hello, again, Tinkerbell," he drawls. "Have the minutes been treating you well?"

"Just tell me what you want," I say, looking at the pirates around us who have their weapons drawn and aimed at Pan.

"Love your little party of a bunch of misfits."

I glare at him. "Pan, do not waste my time. What is it you want?"

"You know what I want," he says cryptically.  A smile breaks across his face, making him look even more beautiful than before he did it. Pan then walks over to me, ignoring the shouts and cries of the pirates. "I want you."

He then reaches forward, and grabs some of my blonde hair. I look at him intensely, but he doesn't back down or seem to even care that I'm getting mad at him. He just stands there, holding my hair in his hand, gazing into my eyes.

"You can't have me," I say, stepping back and pulling his hand away. "I'm not yours."

"But you will be!" he exclaims.

"No, I won't. Now, if that is all you want, go," I snap.

He sighs. "You're infuriating. You know that?"

"Good," I say. "Now go, Pan."

"No," he says.

Captain Hook then draws his sword, pointing it at Pan. "She said you can go now."

"I'm not done talking to you, Tinkerbell."

"Fine, then what exactly is the reason you came here?"

"I came here because I need to talk to you about something," he says. "Please come back."

My eyes widen. "What?"

"I need you to come back with me," he says.

"No," I say.

"Really? Tinkerbell, I need to talk with you about something. Something very important."

"Pan," I say, shaking my head. "I can't."

"Fine. It isn't like this is important or anything. You will regret this." Then, there's a flash of greenish light, and he is gone.

Everyone relaxes only when Hook announces that he is in fact gone. I head straight downstairs afterwards, before Felix or Peri or anyone else can say anything.
