Neverland (Completed)

Chapter 9

Ali's POV

What's his problem? I was just being nice and thanking him. He was nice to me yesterday, what's his problem with me now? Whatever, I sigh, Aaron and I walk around, I hear Aaron sniffing something.
"Something stinks." Aaron's face scrunched up, disgusted. It was probably me, I haven't had a shower for a while.
"Oh it's probably me, I'm sorry." I apologized, Aaron looks at me guilty.
"Sorry I didn't mean to.." Aaron started, I waved my hand shaking my head.
"It's fine. Really." I insisted, I smiled at him.
"You can go take a shower at the waterfall it's very isolated, no one would bother you, but I'd wear a swim suit just in case. You are the only girl in this camp." He explained, he was right I don't really want someone to see me naked, that would be mortifying. We walk back to our tent, I grabbed my things to shower, Aaron handed me a towel. He showed me where the waterfall was, not very far from camp.
It was beautiful, a clear blue pond, with dark black rocks surrounding it. The water from the waterfall fell from a cliff at least three stories high. A small cave behind the falling water. Shining, as it fell into the pool of water from down below.
"Wow, i-it's beautiful." I was amazed, Aaron smiled like he still couldn't believe it either.
"Yea it is." He paused before talking again. "Do you want me to stay and watch your back, watching for anyone that comes over or you're fine?"
I took off my clothes with my swim suit underneath. I look behind me to look at Aaron. "Yea I'll be fine, go rest you look tired."
"Okay be careful, have fun." He walks back to camp, leaving me to my lonesome. I slowly walk into the water, the cool water felt good on my heated skin. It was pretty hot on this island, now I'm in the nice water. I sink down, my whole body in the water. I come back up, gasping for air. Ah, it feels good to feel calm, collected. I can't remember the last time I felt like this. I take a few minutes to sit and relax, I stand to do the activity I came here for. I washed my body from the soap I found in the suitcase I got from Peter, he has good taste in clothing and fragrances. Cleaning my hair and washing it off under the water fall. After I felt so much better, less dirty and stinky.
As I was getting out went to grab my towel I heard whispers.
"I heard Peter found a new girl." One voice spoke, I kept quiet. Thinking I should ignore it and go, but I didn't.
"You mean he wouldn't come see us anymore?" Another voice said. My feet didn't move, I covered myself with my towel. What are they talking about? I think for a moment, all those boys are older, and there are no girls around. But these voices sound like they belong to a woman, if this is Neverland, then that must mean.. mermaids. They probably use these mermaids for entertainment, only that was just a guess.
"I swear, if I see her I'll drown her. She can't take him away from us." They hiss, I started to laugh, keeping it quiet, Peter and I? Not a chance.
The whispers stopped, an uneasy feeling looms over me. I wanted to get out. As I was walking out, a hand grabs my ankle. I look and see. I saw a beautiful woman, her smooth brown hair slick back. Her bright blue eyes filled we amusement, and a grin on her face. She tilts her head.
"Where do you think you're going, sweetie?" She pulls me in the water holding me against her. I struggled as more of them surrounded me, the one that pulled me in held me tighter, they all closed in. Someone whispered in my ear, menacingly. "Hold your breath, you might not have any later."
I kicked feeling their scaly tails rub against my legs, pulling me down under the water, hands covered my mouth. I looked around, the girls changed from beautiful woman to a scaled looking creature, their fangs hung out. My eyes went wide, they were going to kill me? I heard their laughter as I was blacking out. I struggled but no use. I dare not close my eyes.
I heard splashes and yells, I was let go floating in the water, I was too weak to swim. Someone grabbed me and pulled me along with them. As we surfaced I heard them gasp, obviously it was a man. My lungs were filled with water, I couldn't breathe. My eyes were closed, I could still hear around me. He set me down gently on the smooth rock, I felt myself slipping away, not being able to take breath, it hurt. It was unbearable.
Everything went dark.

??? POV

I walked along the cliffs edge on a path, seeing half the island. The canopy trees cover the land in green. It definitely was a beautiful day for a long walk, fresh air filled my lungs.
I looked among the horizon, the blue ocean looked like it went on forever. The sun showered light on the water to make it sparkle, a cooling wind blew softly, making small waves in the water.
I walked along the cliff, it curved back into the woods. Now heading back to camp, I think I should get back to work. Before I turn to going into the woods something catches my eye. I look towards the horizon again to see black flags and white ripped sails off in the distance. Fear shudders through me, I knew who it was. I need to tell Peter and quick. I sprint off into the woods, dodging trees left and right.
As I ran I heard laughter and splashing of water in the distance, changing my attention to where it came from. I curved down a path towards the sound, going towards the waterfall.
"Drown her." The voices hissed and laughed.
"We'll have a feast tonight darlings.." A roar of laughter boomed. The laughter was getting louder, I was heading in right direction.
I pushed past bushes and trees, I got to my destination. Mermaids in the waterfall pond, laughing, having fun. But I saw them holding someone under the water. I ran towards the rock yelling getting their attention.
"HEY! Let her go demon fish!" Their attention turned towards me, I took my dagger from my brown leather satchel. They let the girl go, where she was sent floating in the water, her long hair floating above her. The Demon fish swim towards me, hissing and snickering.
"Hello beautiful boy, won't you join the party?" They seduced, changing to their beautiful selves. I said no repeatedly, they became very angry. They tried grabbing my legs, I kicked. I gripped my dagger, and slashed at them, cutting a few. One grabbed me and dragged me down, I dug my blade into her neck. They saw I gave a good fight and swam away in fear, the one I killed floated in the water unmoving, turning the water around them red. I remembered the girl in the water I swam quickly towards them. Grabbing her sinking body, I swam as quickly as I could towards the rocks. I set down the body, she was unconscious. I should take to Andrew quickly. I looked closely, I recognize her. My eyes widened, Allison?
Oh shit.
