I woke up to the smell of roasted pig. I opened my eyes to see black. After a couple seconds I realized I was blindfolded.

I heard someone walking towards me. I shut my eyes as they lifted up the blindfold. "I know you're awake."

"Pam's here to see you." I opened my eyes and looked around. I didn't see anyone. I continued looking around until I saw him.

"We have a proposition for you." He said walking towards me. "We're going to race. If you win, you live. If you loose," he bent down and whispered into my ear. "You die."

My heart sunk as I heard his words. I looked down at the floor.

"Of course, you don't want to race we can just kill you n-" I sighed.

"I'll do it." I continued looking at the ground.

"Excellent." I could hear the smirk in his words. He untied me and helped me stand up. I was wobbling and my legs were weak. "Go."

I stared at him for a second before running off.

"Wait boys," I heard him say to the lost boys. "Now."

And with his command they began chasing me. Where were we going? I continued running. I felt someone tackle me and I quickly kicked them, I felt their blade stab my upper right arm but I continued to run. I ran until I reached a beach. Shit.

The boys were at the edge of the forest slowly walking towards me.

"Looks like the runaway lost." Pan said appearing behind me. He pushed me into the sand. I turned around to look at him. He put his foot on my chest, pushing me.

"Pan-" he shushed me and let me go. He put his hand out and I took it. He pulled me up and then disappeared. I turned back around and there he was. He pushed me backwards, into the water.

I felt the back of me getting soaked along with soft splashes on my front. I went to stand up but he pushed me back. We continued to go further and further backwards in the water.

I felt myself fall under the water. I splashed around trying to get up but he pushed me down. I tried to get him off of me. I managed to go up for a second before he pushed me back under. I realized what he was doing.

He didn't want to kill me. I stoped fighting him. I felt my self loosing all my air. My mind went blank and I thought he was going to let me drown.

I felt him stop pushing me, lifting me up. I gasped, greedily taking in all the air I could get.

"Pan-" he stoped me and began to speak.

"I can't help but feel like I know you and until I know for sure, you're not leaving." He whispered so only I could hear. He healed the stab wound on my arm. I looked down at his eyes then his lips. He noticed and rolled his eyes dropping me back in the water.

I stood up and began walking to the shore, behind Peter.

"Rose!" Peter said looking at me.

"What?" He just stared at me. I rolled my eyes and went to take a step, Falling forward. I felt a claw dig into my ankle as I was dragged under water.

There was a soft humming sound and a giggle in the water. I opened my eyes looking at the creature dragging me further and further from the surface. It had long burgundy hair that was silky as it swam along side through the water with it.

The tail was a bright blue, it glowed the further down we went. Her hands were webbed with sharp claws at the end. She looked back at me, her ears wear strange and big with long skin spikes. Her eyes were almost completely black which glowed a deep crimson when she was mad.

She let go of me and swam off. Using my last strength I swam up. As I was swimming, something rammed into my stomach causing me to loose all my air. I tried to breathe, inhaling water. Another creature rammed in my back. I continued trying to swim to the top before I drowned.

My mind went foggy as I shut my eyes.
