Memories Of Pixie Dust (A Peter Pan Fanfic)

Part 8

Carter's POV

Its so dark, I can't see anything... Oh wait, that's because my eyes are closed.

I open my eyes and see that I'm tied up. My arms are straight out to either side being held by vines and tied through two trees. As well as my legs, I basically look like a star fish. I look down and my stomach drops. I'm about 70ft in the air! I can see Lost Boys running around below me like little ants. They look so worried, is Pan up to something?

I look out to the sea, wait.... What? Can it be? He's back! He's here! Oh my god! He's actually here!

"Look, you're awake" I turn my head towards my right and see the little boy from before.

"What the hell man? Why am I up here?! How'd I even get up this high anyways?!" I bark at him in anger. He smiles amused by my anger. I take a better look at him, he's leaning against the tree that's holding my right arm almost completely covered by trees.

"You know," he says completely ignoring my question," Pan really wants you back in his cage, its actually quite pathetic and amusing really. He's working everyone down there so hard to find you that even he himself is going crazy." He says the wind comes by blowing the leaves away from him and I see him twirling the dagger from before in his fingers.

"What do you want from me?" I say almost pleading.

"In due time, Carter, in due time." He says smirking at me. "So I'm helping you because I want what you've got, but I want to see you struggle along the way...... So lets get started shall we?" He sits down and watches me. Now I know, he wants me to escape...

I look at my feet, if I want to get down I'll have to do my feet first. I glance at the vine on my left foot mentally measuring the length and width of it. 8ft long and 4in wide. It'll be a little tricky without a knife, but I know what I'm doing. I rock myself back and fourth, finally I flip over causing the vines to wind together. Doing this several more times, I'm now in the splits and my hands touch my legs. I bend my knee as far as I can and I grab the vine wrapping it up. I rub the two vines together, which is really hard to do in the splits, so they loose width making it easy to break through. Both vines start detaching them selves strings by string.

Bam! My leg and arm are free! By I go swinging towards the tree on my right. I grab a branch so I don't crash. Then I untie my leg. I leave my right arm tied and walk against the tree wanting to get to the little boy. I then run and swing my self upward to the other tree and come back upwards and land right in front of the boy.

"We'll have to work on your timing, but that was pretty impressive" he says. I roll my eyes at him as I untie my arm. "Now let's get down."

"Alright then," I say smirking. I grab him and he grabs my waist. We jump and go from vine to vine branch to brach and closer to the floor. He tries so hard to muffle his screams in my side. I wince considering that's where my stab wounds are. I miss the vine and we fall straight down. I grab a vine to stop the fall from being so hard and my hand begins to burn. Only then I feel my skin tearing so I let go jumping and we fall. As we hit the ground I bend my knees so I dont hurt my ankles hit the ground and go flying in the air and land on a bush.

I cover my mouth as I cry out in pain my side wounds opened more and my bandages are getting warm being slowly covered by blood. I look at my hand and see it all bloody and it has skin torn off, it really hurts. I look around for that boy and see him on the floor. He gets up and limps a little he goes to a bush and grabs my old machete from when I had first come here then he makes his way towards me.

"Here," he says in a whisper handing me my machete with its beautiful fold case with green vines made of emerald wrapping it up all the way to the tip. The case has a leather string on it at the top of it so I can tie it up on my pants wear a belt should go. He then hands me my weapon belt that has all my weapons including a while bunch or dark magic in tiny bags and a few bags of well..... I'll tell you that later. I put it on and put my sword through the sword hole.

"Thanks, but we should get moving, they're going to find us here" I say turning away.

"Wait," he says. I turn back. He puts two machetes over his head and into two straps to hold them that are wrapped around him. (Think of what Machone wears to hold her machetes in The Walking Dead) "I want you to have this just in case," he says pulling out the green dagger. I take it and put it in an empty space of my belt that's hidden behind my cloak.

"Thanks again kid, but let's go, I know the perfect place to run to" I say.

We run off heading to the beach.

I wonder if he'll remember me.....
