Amoung The Shadows

Chapter 19-Escape

Dark and soft. Dark and soft were my surroundings. Voices. Hushed voices filled my ears. Siluetts. Tall siluetts filled my prefferal vision.

My eyes were open. They were the only thing I could move. I tried to open my lips. I managed to scrunch up my nose. I screamed inside my head from frustration. Then, a sharp pain rang through my skull.
Can
You
Move?
A voice asked between sharp pangs of pain. I squeezed my eyes shut. So much pain! The Looking Glass probably limited my ability to use telekaniesis with Peter.
Stop! Dont talk in my head!
I mustered.
A head popped up above me. Peter. He smiled. I heard him say in a slightly muffled voice,
"Welcome back, Lost Girl." Then I heard a few voices cheer to my right.

I blinked twice. I tried to move my fingers, and with much strain I was able to. I wiggled them. Peter looked at my hand and smirked.

He picked it up and said.
"Squeeze if this hurts." Then, he waved his hand over the rest of my body, and it felt as though my body was on fire. I grunted because I could not scream. I squeezed his hand and he nodded.

When the pain stopped, I gasped. Then, I gasped because I gasped. I shot up in the bed and squealed.
"Thank you!!!!" I cried and threw my arms around Peter. He awkwardly patted my back and burried his face in my hair. I smiled.
"You have no idea what it's like to be frozen!" I chuckled and pulled back from our hug.
The Lost Boys cheered again and I heard someone shout,
"Mother is awake again!"
Mother?
I thought. The voice sounded like a boy's who is around 5-7
years old. What would a young boy like that do on a cruel and dangerous island lile this?

I almost scolded Peter for bringing such a young boy to the island, the I remembered that he is Peter Pan. Peter Pan does what he wants.

"Nad-Faith! Faith! Excuse me!" My brother stumbled out of the group. He was red in the face. He looked as thought he had to push through a horde of people on Black Friday to get to me. He ran to the bed and threw his arms around me. I hugged back, chuckling to myself. So this is what it's like to have a little brother? I smiled to myself.

When he let go, Mihno crashed into me. "FAITH!!!" He shouted. I laughed. Out of my trust prepheral vision, I saw Chris tumbling toward us. "Dog pile!" He shouted and flopped ontop of Mihno who was ontop of me. Winston laughed and ran toward the bed with another boy who's name I cant recal. I have seen him around the Glade a couple of times, but I dont remember him.

Thank god, Winston and the boy fell on both of my sides and hugged me from there.
"Ahh!!! Get off me you fat shucks!" I shouted and laughed. Mihno shouted "No!" and Chris bounced on while on top.

A few more Gladers joined us until all I could see were shirts and arms.
"I CANT BREATH!!!" I shouted. Mihno shouted "SHE CANT BREATH!!!" and weight began to get taken off of me pound by pound until all of the Glader's had gotten off and were sheiling me from seeing the Lost Boys.

Like old times
I thought. Like the days when we were just carefree Gladers that knew nothing of the world outside the Glade. I shook my head and sighed. Then, I smiled to myself again and hopped off the bed.
"Miss us?" Chris asked, spreading his arms wide as though in an embrace. I nodded and laughed. Then Chris tackled me in a warm hug. I couldnt stop smiling.

My smile didnt fade the whole day after that. Evem when I learned that I was the last to get out of The Looking Glass becuse I was the IceFlower, so time was different for me. The others had left Peter said. Malia and Jace returned to their home. Peter said they took an uncontious Allison back with them as well. He spoke of a warlock that they found, who voluntiered to help them.

I smiled to myself as I recall my truly welcoming 'Welcome Back' bon fire earlier. Then, as stupid as I am, I decided to think about what had happened in the Looking Glass.

Mainly my thoughts cirulated around Newt. His smile when he confirmed that it was the real me he was talking to. The way that even the absurd dark blue lipstick did not ruin his looks. I smiled to myself. Tears were escaping my eyes, but one thought circulated my head.
He is happy now.
He may not be free, but Newt at least can find love again in his true form.

I reached to touch my wrist, and a feeling of cold water drenching me came over my body. I gasped as I felt around for it. Then, I realized I left it in the Looking Glass so that Newt could stay. So that when I left, I didnt bring him back with me in shadow-form. I sighed. The only thing I have left of him...Gone...

First day back for Faith!!! Do you think I should do a Newt P.O.V?

The picture above is Mihno being the cutest Mihno possible.
