The darkness pressed down and surrounded me. It felt like I was suffocating, slowly fading away. As the heat finally smothered me I fell into a dreamless slumber. Glimpses of color fly through my brain along with images of my life. What. Is this death? No, I couldn't die in the dark like this. Panic starts to set in. The more I scream in my head the faster the darkness comes toward me. Just when it grabs my shoulder a cool breeze flutters in my mind. The darkness retreats and I wake up with a gasp.
Huh there actually is a cold breeze. I better close my bedroom window. My hand reaches out but all it feels is a smooth bar. I rub my eyes and look around. This isn't my bedroom!
"What the ham sandwich,"I say out loud. It appears that I am in a wooden cage like thing. Then I look down between the bars. Oh my God! Why am I 50 ft in the air!!?!?! Then it all comes back to me in a rush. The strange island. The dark cloaks. And the boy.
"Interesting use of language, love." I spin around to see a familiar face. Ugh him again.
"Well that's a bit harsh don't you think." Crap. Did I say that out loud? He launches himself off the tree and hovers right outside the bars. Ooh this is perfect! I run towards him ready to punch that stupid smirk off his face. Just as I was about to swing, he faded into a vapor.
"Not so fast" He taunts as he appears right behind me, just right out of my reach. Dang, I had never wanted to wipe that cocky look off of his face more than I do now. "You've got fire. I like fire."
"Go to Hell, you demon!" I scowl
"Glad you think so highly of me, but I prefer to be called pan." The nerve of him!
"I honestly do not give a damn about what you prefer." He raises an eyebrow at my response.
"You better control that temper, or your time here on the island might be cut short. I was even thinking of letting you out of that cage." Ugh why does he have leverage over me. A plan starts to form in my head. If I play along and he lets me out, maybe I can escape.
"Fine." Curt answers may be my best option right now. He can't get mad if I hardly say anything.
"Now you're getting the hang of it. How about I give you a tour of the island," He pauses before smirking "then we'll play a game tonight." How the hell does this guy make a simple game sound so creepy?"
"Alright then." I mumble. He flies back to the ground, and a minute later the cage is slowly lowered to the surface.
Once the cage hits the dirt with a thump, Peter Pan takes his time walking over to the cage. Ha ha he's probably enjoying watching me wait. I jump out of the cage the minute he opens the door
"Wow there, slow down." He catches my arm and gives me a stern look. "Don't even think about running away." He holds my wrist tightly as he walks forward.
"Geez, no need to worry. I wasn't running away. I just wanted to stretch my legs." I've always been a crappy liar but it seemed sincere enough this time. His grip on my wrist loosens slightly. Yes!
3 hours later
Throughout the tour we view the old Indian camp, the forest, and the beach. Just as the sun begins to set we start walking back to camp.
All the boys are running through the camp sharpening weapons and preparing their bows. I look at Pan accusingly.
"I suppose you've already told them what the game is." Peter turns around to face me
"Of course I have." He grins
"Mind telling me then?"
"Sure love." I roll my eyes at him.
"Don't call me love"I spat
"Do you want to know what the game is, or do you want to stand their interrupting me?" he demands.
"Go ahead..."
"We'll be playing a jolly game of hide and seek." He walks closer and I look down at my feet. Why am I blushing! He puts his fingers under my chin and forces me to look up at him. "You hide anywhere on the island in 3 minutes. If we can't find you after an hour.....you win. I hope you were paying attention during the tour."
The boys start the count back from 3 minutes and I turn to run. I know where I'm going.
Back at camp
Peter Pan turns to the boys and orders them to his side. 5...4...3...2...1. He faces the forest.
"Let's play"
