Lost (OUAT Peter Pan fanfiction)

~Chapter 16~

I follow slightly into the caves. I didn't think it was possible but the air got colder.

"Scared yet?" Slightly asked. He looks more unnerved than I feel. He is disfiguring with his fingers and darting his eyes back and forth.

"As if," I scoff. But honestly I'm getting the creeps. I'm thankful for the company even if it is just Slightly.

The caves seem to get darker. The crystals aren't shining any more. The last of the Sunlight has been absorbed into the stone. Slightly pace has slowed. The way he is taking in every sound and sight makes me worry that there is a monster going to jump out at us.

"Umm.. Slightly," I mumble trying not to sound like a little kid.

He doesn't answer, just flicks his eyes back to me.

"You know where you're going, right?"

"Of course I do," he sounds offended.

" I wasn't --"

"Look here Wendy. Just because Pan is head over heels for you doesn't mean I am too. I know you're use to the ' special treatment' but to me you're just another kid that doesn't know where she belongs. Suck it up and get over your old life. You're here and your not going back ever. Your parents didn't want you. Stop being so ungrateful. You're the only girl on this island for a reason. We don't like girls here. Why he picked you I don't know but I can tell you right now the only reason I'm standing here with you is for Bay. I bet you're the reason he is in this mess in the first place. Now stay next to me. You'll get lost and once you're lost you won't be found."

"Special treatment.? You did not just say that. I almost died the other night because Peter was cutting my wrists. He hits me. If you call that special treatment, you are more screwed up than I thought."

"He treats us worse." Slightlys Brown eyes drill holes in my blue ones.

"I doubt that."

"He killed my brother."

I shut up. I start kicking my black vans in the dirt on the ground. I can't bring myself to say anything let alone sorry. I can't look at him any longer. I stare at my shoes. I don't doubt that Peter would kill his brother. I do feel bad but I don't understand why that would be my fault.

Slightly sighs and starts walking again. I follow him deeper into the darkness.
