Seeds Of Discord ~ A Peter Pan Fanfiction ***ON HOLD***

Chapter Four ~ Pan's Camp

Antoinette's P.O.V

I woke up to the sound of cheering and whooping. I was really stiff and tried to move, but my hands were bound behind me. I looked around to get a feel of my wherabouts, and I came face-to-face with Pan. "Well well, look who's finally awake." Pan said. He lifted my chin to get a good look at me. I turned my head away quickly. "Don't ever touch me again!" I spat. "Ooh, not very friendly." "Yeah, well I wonder what could possibly be the reason for that?" I asked sarcastically. He didn't answer, instead he walked away with a smirk on his face.

There was a lot of Lost Boys dancing around a huge bonfire and they looked like they were having the time of their lives. I was wondering what was going on in their heads. Surely they must not want to stay on this wretched island, they probably want to go home. Yet, they were still having fun. "Michael, get over here." Pan called to one of the Lost Boys. "Take Miss Peerson to the cages and explain the rules on the way." "As you wish Pan." replied the Lost Boy. Michael walked over to me, untied me and grabbed me by the forearm. "Stand up." He said to me. I had no idea what Pan was capable of, so I obeyed. "Good girl." He walked me over to an empty cage. "Get inside." "Is this how you treat all girls? Like animals?" "No, this is just how we treat you." He replied. "Wow. I'm so flattered." I said sarcastically. Michael opened the cage door and threw me inside. He quickly closed the door and locked it. The cage was made of bamboo and looked quite sturdy, so I couldn't escape.

"We have a few rules that you have to follow." Michael said to me through the cage. "You do what Pan asks, when he asks. If you don't, you get condemned. Or worse, killed." "What is being condemned?" I asked fearfully. "I'll let you find out on your own." And with that, he walked away. I was left alone in this place with no knowledge on what to do. I will admit it, I'm scared. Terrified . And that's not something I would usually admit to anyone. I curled up in the corner and tried to sleep.

Pan's P.O.V

When Michael returned, I asked him, "Is she in the cage?" "Yes." came his reply. "Did she resist or fight much?" "No, she complied very well. I think she's scared."

"Good."

"Good?" Michael questioned. "Yes, if she's frightened, she will do what we say because she's intimidated. If we take something she loves from her, she will be even more compliant to us." I told him. "What are you planning Pan?" he asked. "Why are you questioning my motives? Are you challenging me?" I replied, narrowing my eyes. "N-no, I'm not. I trust what you have planned. I'm just.. concerned for her sake." "Aww does somebody fancy her?" I retorted mockingly. "No!" Michael exclaimed. "I have to go prepare for the hunt. Excuse me." he said as he left.

I chuckled to myself amusingly, sometimes Michael still questions me even when he knows whats at stake. I shook my head wondering how I would break the news to Antoinette. Should I ease her into it and try to gain her trust? Or should I show power and demand her to do what I say? I would figure that out later, right now I have to bring a meal to a prisoner.
