The boy in the window

I woke up to a knocking at my door. at first I didn't want to open it but I knew i had too. I opened it up expecting to see my dad but there was no one there. Weird I thought, maybe it was my imagination. I stood at the edge of my bed wondering. Then I heard it again. Two distant knocks that sounded so close. I looked towards my window, and I heard the knocks again. I walked slowly towards my window, and looked through them. That's when I noticed a hand at the bottom of it, the hand knocked once more and I shuttered. I unlocked my window and slid it up. A boy about my age stood up right in front of it. What on earth could he be standing on? I looked at him in wonder, not
knowing who he was, or what he wanted. "Who are you?" I said. "My names Peter." the boy said. "What are you doing here?" I asked slowly. "Well" he said "I'm actually playing a game with my boys right now, and I need a place to hide, will you let me in?" I didn't know what to do, should I trust him? Without thinking I nodded and moved out of the way so he could come through my window into my room. He flew in, I was astonished. "You can fly." I said surprised. He smirked at me and looked down and said "I knew that love." "But how?" I asked. "I just can." he said quickly and pushed me to the ground. "Listen," he whispered, " the boys are coming and they're not supposed to find me so duck down and stay quiet." I nodded. While we waited I looked at him, his features were incredible. His hair was a dark brown, and his eyes were brown. He was absolutely handsome. He couldn't have been a year older than me. He noticed me staring and raised an eyebrow. I flushed and looked down. "Like what you see darling?" he whispered. I rolled my eyes. We were silent for another 10 seconds and he whispered "If you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" I looked up and said "My name is Zoe." He smirked and nodded and brought his hand up to mine and I shook it. I giggled, then he stood up, and said "Okay good, they passed us, they won't find me here now." I looked at him again and asked "What were you and your 'boys' playing?" He looked at me and said "Find the piper, see I have a pan flute that can play a tune only lost boys can hear. And I play it and they have to find where I am." "But you weren't playing it here." I said. "True but it's magical and they'll hear it until I turn it off for them. Even if I'm not playing it they'll still hear it." He sat down on my bed after that and I sat next to him. "Where are you from?" I asked. He looked down with a serious expression and looked back at me and said "Neverland."
