    "She did what?!"
    "She cut herself," Lewis replies, his voice muffled by his hands.
    "No." I shake my head "No, there's no way that she would've done that."
    "Well she did do that, and she nearly killed herself while doing so," my brother states.
    I collapse on my bed. "I can't believe it. This is all my fault."
    "Our fault," Lewis corrects.

    "What?" I ask, looking at him.
    Lewis crans his neck up, taking his head out of his hands. "It's our fault. The three of us decided stop talking to Alice just because of that incident."
    "And now she's in a coma because of us," Chris adds.
    I look up at the ceiling of the tent, sighing. "How did our lives get so messed up?"

    "I've been asking myself that question even since Alice disappeared," Lewis replies, slumping onto the bed next to me.
    Someone please change the topic, I silently pray.
    "What job were you guys assigned to?"
    "What are you talking about, Will?" Lewis asks.

    "Yeah," I say, thankful for the change in topic. "What are you talking about?"
    "You guys didn't hear the announcement that Felix gave after training last night?" Chris asks.
    I shake my head. "I wasn't paying attention."
    "Neither did I," Lewis says.

    "Pan's cancelled today's training session," Chris begins. "Felix said that each of us would be given a job to do just for today. I'm on hunting duty with Andrew and some other Lost Boys."
    If Chris told me that he was paired with Andrew, or any other member of the Bloodlust Trio a few weeks ago, I would've begged Pan or Felix to transfer him to another group.

    But it's different now, Chris can protect himself; he proved that when he beat Andrew and his boys in a duel. Andrew was convinced that he cheated and demanded a rematch, but we all knew that Chris won fair and square. He even managed to beat Felix in a duel a few days prior to our incident with Alice, officially making Chris the best swordsman in Neverland.

    "Oh, that announcement," Lewis says. "I'm assigned with Scott's group, we're on kitchen duty."
    "What about you, Ray?"
    "I'm on guard duty with Theo and his friends," I say. "Seems like Pan's determined to split the four of us up."
    Chris nods. "Yeah, first he turns Alice against us and now he's splitting the three of us up. He's definitely planning something."

    "Well, whatever it is, I bet it's not good," Lewis says.
    I shake my head. "Keep your voice down, the boys are still asleep, plus Pan has ears everywhere, and I'd rather not get into trouble like the last time."
    "Why? What happend?" Chris asks.
    I resist the urge to bring my fingers to my lips. I can still remember how shocked I was when Alice kissed me back. "I'd rather not talk about it."

    "Okay, you don't have to tell us," Chris says. That's what I like about my brother, he never presses you for an answer —or explanation— if it isn't necessary.
    "What time is it?" Lewis asks.
    "A little after five a.m," I say. "We still have an hour till we have to report to Felix."
    "How's Andrew?" Lewis asks. "Is the prick still trying to kill you guys?"

    "Nah, we're fine now," Chris replies, waving his hand dismissively. "I mean, we aren't best mates but at least he isn't trying to kill me anymore."
    Lewis lowers his voice. "If only Pan wasn't such a git, this place might actually be tolerable."
    "And if only Alice wasn't so into him," I add, my voice no louder than a whisper. "I hope she realises that he's a tool."
