Chapter 4

"My nose is still bleeding!" Felix complains. It's been a little over a hour since Felix has begun bleeding. "Maybe if you didn't get decked by a girl you wouldn't be bleeding." Peter laughed. I hand Felix another clean rag to help stop the bleeding. "Lean your head up, like you're gazing at the stars." I help. Felix does so.

"Peter can we go to our room." I say tiredly. Peter scoops me up bridle style and walks up over to our cabin. "Asben...can we talk?" He asks. I shrug, "If that's what you want sure." Peter sighs. "What did you and Tiger Lily talk about?" I sit up and look at Peter. His eyes pleading with me to answer honestly. I close my eyes, contemplating my answer.

"Peter, I am not allowed to tell you." I respond cautiously. Peter stands up, aggravated. "You're not allowed to tell me? Asben, you are mine. Therefore you tell me whatever I ask from you." He responds raising his voice slightly. I shake my head, "Peter, that's not how this works. We are equals. Please just drop the subject." I ask pleadingly.

That makes him even more angry. "No, Asben tell me right now or...." he stops." Or what Peter? You'll leave me? Hurt me?" I respond now mad. Peter teleports inches from my face. "Maybe I should." I inch closer to him, so we're centimeters apart."Do it then." He raises his hand and smacks me. Smiling at the red mark forming on my cheek.

I push him back with magic. Holding him there. "Peter, what the hell?" I gasp. He starts trying to force my magic off of him. "Asben. Let go of me!" He growls. I increase the pressure of the force. "Peter, what is happening to you I can feel the darkness radiating off of you." I inquired. Peter starts to calm down. I pull the force away from Peter, letting him go.

Peter's face paled when he realized what he'd done. I teleported to Mermaid Cove. Peter absolutely hated it here, meanwhile I loved it. The mermaids loved all of the (two) girls on this island but hated most of the boys. I was safe here.

The area was usually quiet except for the chitter chatter of fairies heard in the existence. I sat down right next to the pond. I felt a tear fall, quickly joined by many little balls or salty water. How can someone who claims to love me hurt me? You don't hit someone who loves you. You just don't. Maybe it was my fault...

"Asben, this is not your fault. He has no right to hit you." A voice came from the water. I looked up and saw one of the very few mermaids that I talk to. "Thanks Cherry." I mumble wiping tears from my eyes. "You guys heard the fight?" I ask trying to control my breathing. "Hun, I think the whole island heard it. You guys were very loud." Cherry replies. I nod.

When Peter and I fight it usually very loud. We're loud people I suppose.

"Oh." Was all I said.

"He's coming." She whispers. "I know." I smile sadly. "I'll be under the water. If he touches you...." I laugh. "Okay...now shoo"

"Asben." He calls out from behind me. "What?" I spit. Peter kneels in front of me, cupping my face in his hands. "I'm sorry." He says helplessly. His face has softened up a bit but I can't....no I won't forgive him.

"I'd rather not." I answer honestly. Peter gives up his charade and his face darkens. "Fine. Don't come back into the tent tonight either. But love?" Peter's famous grin forms. "Things are going to change in camp. Be at the target range but sunrise. I think you should start to practice with the Lost Boys. After all, you want to be treated like one." He says to me. Without giving me a moment to respond he teleports away from me.

"Bastard." I mumble to myself. I just wanted to go to bed. Now we're arguing. Splendid.

"Something is off about him." Cherry notes, climbing out of the water. Her bright red hair mysteriously dry. "He's just....Peter." I answer. "Maybe." She responds.

"Where are you going to sleep?" She asks. I shrug. I haven't had a chance to think about that yet. "I'll use magic and build a tree house I suppose." Cherry looks at me sympathetically. "Do you want me to spend the night with you?" She asks. 'Yes' I think to myself. I force a smile. "No. I'll be fine. I need time to think about Peter. He's so upset over me defying him. I don't understand why. I need to meditate before I do anything else." I answer. Cherry nods and slips back into the water. She waves her purplish pinkish tail at me as a form of GoodBye.

I start walking into the forest. The night was really warm. I find a nice tree and snap my fingers. Causing a simple tree house to form. I made it without a latter so curious Lost Boys don't enter. I teleport inside and put a bed into the corner.

The inside was rather small, which was great for me. Small spaces make it easier to focus on my magic. I sit in the middle of the floor and try to clear my mind.

I continue my process until I realize I'm in another world. I see Peter in front of a cage. This particular cage had a girl in it. She wasn't me though. Who is she?

"Are you ready to listen to my deal?" Peter asks. The brown haired girl shook her head yes. The looked rather thin, he hasn't been feeding her....

"Use your words, love." Peter responds quietly. She blushes a beautiful shade of red, "Y-Yes." Peter smiles. "Okay. Listen up, I'll only say this once. I'm going to show you something. Some one has put a spell on a belonging and I want to know what it is. The spell makes it so only girls can see this object. If you do this for me I'll set you free. Do you understand?" She nods yes again. Peter sighs, "Words love."

"Yes."

"I knew you would Wendy."

I jolt out of the vision. The sun was starting to rise. I teleported to the target range. It was empty. Wait..... how can it be empty? I can feel people here. Wait, I feel a person here.

I hear a twig snap behind me. I automatically teleport to the source. I grab the unknown person and teleport us to the middle of the field.

How did I just teleport two people at once?

I then realized I had Peter in my hands. "Well love, I can't say I'm surprised. You just love showing dominance in every situation don't you?" He asks unfazed at the fact that I'm choking him. His aura screamed darkness again. I release his throat.

"You do realize you have no right to be this upset at me. You smacked me. All I did to you was keep a secret from you." I inform. Peter's smile fades. "I'm sorry." I shake my head, annoyed. "You're gonna have to do better than that. C'mon, let's start with practice." I huffed.

"That was just a ruse to get you here. I was going to try and see if you where still mad. Obviously you're still mad." He explains.

"Of course I am." I say annoyed Peter smiles.

"Come with me." He orders.

"Why?" I ask.

"Do you trust me?" He asks. I stared at him hesitantly

"I used to." I say looking him in the eye. Peter's face saddens but he quickly changes.

"Let me fix that." He whispers.

"Fine." I answer defeated.
