Pov: Felix
My thoughts are driving me crazy.
It's only been a couple hours since they locked me up. But it's hard to face the fact that Peter sacrificed me.
He wouldn't ever abandon me.
He must have known that the faith of Corbin would have been worse than mine in this place.
That must have been it, the reason he didn't want Corbin being here.
He knows I'm strong enough to survive it around here.
What if it's a test? Is he just testing my strength?
No he wouldn't.
Right?
My thoughts get interrupted by someone walking down the stairs. My eyes watch the door.
It's Leroy.
"No so fun when the roles are reversed, right?"
I don't answer him.
It's bad enough I'm stuck here, I don't want his company.
He seems to not care about my annoyance because of his presence because he adjusts to the situation and makes himself comfortable on the floor Infront of me.
I raise an eyebrow. As I can't help a little smile by his attempt to make it look like we are equals.
If I don't have a chair than he wont either.
Leroy either doesn't notice the fact he lowers his reputation by it or doesn't cares about it.
"You saved Corbin's life by not reminding hook about who she is. Why?"
"Well" he crosses his legs and straightens his jacket.
"I'm not a monster. I only needed her to save my life. I know what would happen if I told the truth. It would have been a destiny no one should go through."
Both of us came in Neverland in an older age. Aware of what would happen but no one speaks of.
The topic seemed to silence both of us as we sit in front of each other. With the only thing between us metal bars.
"Why do you just accept how horrible he treats you"
That made me laugh.
"I could ask you the same thing."
"I guess we are not so different from each other"
"Yeah" I chuckle. "Except this time it's my turn to be locked up"
Leroy tries to suppress his laugh but fails. For a single second everything didn't seem that bad but actually quite peaceful.
Until I realize I'm still stuck on the pirate ship. And will be most likely dead within 24 hours.
"Why did you come here?"
Leroy avoids my eyes. His voice weakens when he says "to be honest, i'm lonely"
I can't help but stay awkardly silent.
I didn't knew what to expect but it wasn't that.
"Honestly, on the years i have been on this island. You are the first person i have had a personal conversation with."
I think back about the years that have past. About the amount of times i have seen leroy walk around the camp. I have never actually seen him have a conversation with someone that wasn't about business or tasks needed to be done.
I notice Leroy's eyes are glancing when the sun shines on his eyes. Looking at how he is trying to hide his shaking makes me almost feel bad for him.
Even tho I'm the one that's locked up.
No that's a lie. I do feel bad for him.
Not so long ago he was exactly in my position.
"Well" I awkwardly clear my voice. "What are your hobbies?"
Leroy laughs at my poor attempt to bring up a conversation starter.
"I like photography, I used to have a professional photo camera and make pictures of everything I found interesting"
I listen to Leroy talking about his likes and dislikes.
And he listens to mine.
Because even if neither of us would ever admit it out loud. We both needed someone at that moment.
