Okie Dokie, I know that I said that I wouldn't do POV changes a lot, but I don't know, maybe I will. Anyways, that was sort of a warning that this chapter will have POV changes.

PETER PAN'S POV:
"Wake up boys!" I call loudly around the camp, smile plastered on my face, excited for the new game presented for me. Almost immediatly, Felix is out of his tent, cloak on and hood up like it always is. The boys come out one by one, each looking sleepy but curious.
"What is it?" Wyatt asks in a soft voice, tugging on the hem of my shirt and rubbing his eyes. With any other boy, I would probably roll my eyes, and tell them to wake up before asking me such stupid questions. But instead, I scoop him up in my arms, and lift him onto my shoulders, looking around to see all- or the majority- of my Lost Boys gathered around me.
"As you may know, we've had a visitor the last few days..." I start, parading around the boys and getting a good look at their tired faces, slightly annoyed by their lack of interest. "She left the camp last night while we were all sleeping, heading out of my tent after trying to steal a few of my belongings."
I think of pandora's box, the way I thought that she would be able to counter-act the protection spell that I used on it, but with luck, she couldn't do a thing.
"She's still inside our perimeter though, so she obviously didn't get too far." I chuckle to myself, this is why I've never taken girls in, they're too ignorant to function in this type of environment. "So I've decided to make a game out of this."
Cheers erupt from the boys as they finally gain enough conciousness to realize what's going on. I feel proud, for I've taught them well. Each has been taught how to adapt to the forest, how to hunt, kill, skin animals, make clothes, make shelter, find food, use weapons and much much more.
"Tiger Lily is a very important person to me." I whisperer to them, each leaning in as if I'm telling them a secret that's only meant for their ears. "She has powers that I don't even know the limits of, so she may be a danger to you." This only excites the boys more. "And the stupid girl doesn't know how to control them either." I laugh humorlessly along with the rest of them.
"The rules of this game..." I think for a moment, each boy standing on their toes- even Felix is listening carefully- not that he isn't always that way. "Don't kill the girl. Don't let the girl kill you. And bring her back to me before anyone else." Before the boys can disperse to grab their things I add one more thing.
"Oh, and lastly, to make this one more interesting..." Their eyes all dart back to me, waiting. I have to admit that I love the attention. "I will be joining. If I am not to win, then the person to first find this girl will get one prize. A gift from the Mainland."
Everyone goes silent for a moment, eyes wide in disbelief. I've never put the stakes this high. The boys have always asked me for different things, sweets, basket balls, and more recently even technology. So this will make them even more competetive.
"Now what are you waiting for?!" I yell out. "Let the game begin!" And with that, and the snap of my fingers, the boys all run out of the camp, and I dissapear into a cloud of black smoke.

CAMERON (TIGER) LILY'S POV:
I wake up to a sore back and tired eyes, glancing around scared for a moment before I remember the previous night.
He I sit, still up I the tree that I fell asleep in only six or seven hours before. The sun has long past risen and I'm sure that the boys are waking up by now.
That's when I hear Pan speaking. I shouldn't be able to hear him from where I am. I must be at least a half mile out. But when I glance back over the tops of the trees I see smoke less than one hundred feet away.
Either I'm a lot slower than I thought, or I had been walking in circles last night. Both options completely logical and sort of embarrassing. But before I have time to blush over making a fool of myself to no one in particular I hear his voice again. Pan.
"As you may know, we've had a visitor the last few days..." He begins, my heart stops as I wait for him to speak again. "She left the camp last night while we were all sleeping, heading out of my tent after trying to steal a few of my belongings."
Oh god, he really was awake last night, he must've known about the box on his dresser, or maybe the cloak that I took that was hanging on the tent wall. I pick at the fur mindlessly now, my stomach turning.
"She's still inside our perimeter though, so she obviously didn't get too far." Pan informs everyone, as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that I hear him laugh. But this isn't funny at all to me, no, I'm a lot closer than he might think.
"So I've decided to make a game out of this." I hear cheers from the boys, feeling overwhelmed and already scared of this new 'game' Pan has set up. Any one of the Lost Boys, no matter the age, even Wyatt, could easily take me down alone. They've each been trained by Pan himself.
"Tiger Lily is a very important person to me." I have to focus a lot to hear this, but surprisingly I'm able to make out every bit of his whisper. I still wonder if I heard him correctly, because his statement leaves me shocked and confused.
"She has powers that I don't even know the limits of, so she may be a danger to you." There Pan goes, talking about the 'powers' I have that I have no idea how to use or summon. "And the stupid girl doesn't know how to control them either."
I can't disagree with that.
"The rules of this game..." I hold my breath, waiting for the news, wonderingbif he wants me back here no matter what, dead or alive.
"Don't kill the girl..." He tells them and I let out a huge sigh. "Don't let the girl kill you." Pan pauses, making me wonder if he heard me. "And bring her back to me before anyone else."
Great, more dealing with Pan.
"Oh, and lastly, to make this one more interesting..." Pan adds, even better, more ideas for the game that is made to hunt me down. "I will be joining. If I am not to win, then the person to first find this girl will get one prize. A gift from the Mainland."
Everyone goes silent for a moment, leaving me to womder what the Mainland is and what's so special about it. But before I have time to process anything Pan speaks again.
"Now what are you waiting for?!" He yells out. "Let the game begin!" And with that, and the snap of his fingers, the boys all run out of the camp, for me, and a new puff of smoke appears- then dissapears- with the blink of an eye.
