Chapter 25 Visitor

It's been a week since Pan told me the truth about the Indians in the other camp. To say that I was surprised, and still am, at his honesty would literally be a complete understatement. I have no idea why he decided to tell me about it, but my brain had a way of coming up with some interesting theories.

Part of me thought this was another test to see what I would do with my newly acquired information, but another part of me, a larger part, was convinced that for some odd reason he really wanted me to know these things. It was almost like the test was to see if I could figure them out or at least get close to figuring them out, and then once that happened he would fill me in. The truth was my reward.

I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't even realize someone had sat down next to me until they nudged me with their shoulder. I snapped my head to the right, lifting my hand to shield my eyes from the blinding sunlight that was pouring around the persons head.

"Felix?" I frowned after a few seconds of him staring at me with a blank expression. "What's wrong?"

I looked around in every direction watching as the boys hurried around camp doing their normal things, conversing with each other, sharpening weapons, nothing out of the ordinary. Pan was no where to be seen, and for the first time since my arrival I was actually nervous to be alone with Felix.

"Felix, you're scaring me." I spoke in a low voice, nearly falling backwards off of the log in surprise as he suddenly grasped my hand in both of us. "What are you doing?" I exclaimed, trying my best to pull my hand away, elbowing myself in the ribs as he suddenly released my hand and stood up. He stared down at me like a building towering over a passerby for a few seconds before turning and retreating into the woods.

I stared at the spot where he previously stood, tearing my gaze away moments later to glance down at the folded up piece of paper that he slipped into my hand, reading the words "cliff, sundown."

The sun was beginning its decent and for some reason that I couldn't explain I was obeying the instructions on the paper. I was heading to the cliff that overlooked Skull Rock.

The closer I got the larger the eerie feeling in my gut grew. I reached the clearing within minutes, making my way towards the edge and peering over into the water.

A stick snapping nearby caused me to gasp, whirling around to face whoever had just made the noise. "Felix?" Silence. "Felix, this isn't funny. If you're trying to scare me I swear to-"

I cut myself off instantly as someone stepped out of the bushes near by. My eyes widened to a nearly impossible size as I stared at the person, my heart stopping mid beat. My vision grew blurry and I nearly fell over, finally sucking in a breath I desperately needed, breathing out a name I hadn't used in a while. "Elsa?"
