He's a Hero to me. (A Peter Pan - OUAT - story)

{chapter sixteen}

The boys help me take him back to camp. He tries to run, but fails. We keep him in the camp and I go in my tent, where Skylar's waiting. I use magic to get her some food, and eat myself. The boys can get fruit from around the island if their hungry.

After, Skylar wanted do to some research on the heart of the truest believer. I dig up some old books and hand them to her. She starts reading as I go back out and handle the boys, helping them keep Henry in check. Then, night falls and Henry falls asleep. I make Tyler and Boyd stay up to watch him, and then I go back to Skylar.

She's in the same thing she wore to bed last night.

"Hey, Sky?" I ask.

"Yeah, Peter?"

"What would you say if I asked you to sleep with your shirt off?"

"I say, it's your wish that I have to grant,"

"Would you be okay with that?"

"I guess, if I could put my bra back on?"

"Yeah, of course," I say. She puts it on under her shirt before taking it off. I change into shorts and we climb in bed. I kiss her goodnight. She presses her back against my chest and I drape my arm over her waist, while pulling up the blankets with the other hand.

"I love you, Peter," She says, sleepily

"I love you, too, Sky," I say back before she falls asleep. I lay with her for a little bit before I have to get up. She wakes up while I'm getting dressed.

"Peter? What are you doing?" she ask, still tired.

"I got to go and check out Henry's family's camp. I can't have them finding him,"

"Just be back soon," She says, flipping over. I pull the blankets up over her shoulders and kiss her cheek before leaving. I go to their camp and give them a map. When Emma admits she's a Lost Girl, it'll show them where Henry is. I get back to camp and go back in my tent. I cuddle up to Skylar and sleep through the rest of the night. When I wake up, I get ready and come out of my tent. Henry comes up to me.

"So, who's Sky?" he asks.

Henry's POV

Pan gets mad. I can see it.

"How do you know about her?" He says, pulling me over to the side.

"I heard you talking last night. The tent's made of fabric, not brick,"

"If you say a word about her to anyone who is not a lost boy on this island, you won't live another second, you hear me Henry? If you see anyone other than Tyler, Boyd, Chuck, Brady, or John than you better keep your mouth shut. Got it?"

"You don't scare me, Pan,"

"Well, he should," A girl, walking towards me says.

"Sky, go back in the tent," Pan says through gritted teeth.

"This is Sky?" I say.

"Skylar to you, you little runt,"

"Wait, Skylar, Skylar Givens?"

"Yeah, Henry. Now, believe me when I say you should be scared to death if Pan ever threatens you. Take it from me, an old ... well, I wouldn't say friend. Maybe acquaintance?" I pull her aside, I can feel Pan staring at me hard.

"Sky, wh-"

"Skylar,"

"Skylar, when did you get here? Is he forcing you to anything? Why'd you stay?"

"I stayed because I couldn't leave, but then I loved it here, Henry. Stay with us. And Pan, he's not a bad person. He wants to save Neverland. He needs your help. He's just protective over me, and knowing that I had your grandma as a teacher, he didn't want to take a chance of losing me. So please, just trust me and don't tell anyone that might be on the island. No fairy, no new person who came to Neverland, and no one who works for Pan. And especially no mermaid or your family. Okay?"

"Okay, Skylar," She smiles and walks back over to Pan. I don't believe her.... I see Pan kiss her before sending her back into their tent.
