Trapped in Neverland

"What do we do now?" Peri asks. "Now that Peter Pan is dead, we are safe."

"Yeah," I say, feeling numb.

Wendy looks at me, her face softening in a way that makes me nauseas. I look away from her, and when I see Amora, I can't help it. I start to cry.

"Hey," Felix says, kneeling in front of me and cupping my face in his hands, he says softly, "this isn't your fault, Tink."

"Yes it is," I say softly. "I told him I wouldn't help him, and then ..."

"Don't. Don't do that to yourself, Tinkerbell. You had no effect on that. You had no idea what would happen if you said yes, he could have taken and killed you. And if he didn't, it could've been a fate worse than death."

My heart sinks, and I start to cry more. Felix sighs and kisses me on the lips, shocking me so much that I stop crying entirely. The tears stop falling, and as I close my own eyes and start to kiss him back, and he deepens the kiss between us. He then leans back, and we both open our eyes again, my heart pounding to meet his hazel eyes.

"Calm you down?" he says. I nod, and he smiles, making my heart do back flips. I look at him and he stands up, walks around me, and then he says to them, "We still have the Prince to worry about."

"Oh yeah. Zaine," Amora mutters.

Peri puts her hands in front of herself, then looks between me and Felix and grins, giving me a thumbs up. I shake my head at her. She smiles wickedly.

"Pan wasn't the first one to come after us," Felix says softly, looking at each of us. "And he won't be the last. But we got this, right?"

"Right," Wendy says. "I hope."
