The Game of Love

Ch 16

Isabella's POV

I took a couple of deep breaths doing inhale and exhale. It's just me and him. I mean he is new here, so he doesn't know Peter Pan. He can't say anything, so might as well talk.

" Well Peter Pan. He is really evil and ruthless as they say. He likes to play these little games and his punishments are cruel. Oh he hates liars...especially liars. He is very powerful and it's kinda scary to know that he can take out a heart in a minute and then crush it. I mean the lost boys are like his henchmen, but he loves them like his own brothers. He always gets what he wants and well yeah. " , I explained

" Well do you know what he wants? " , Jacob asked

" He wants me to love him because he loves me. " , I laughed

" How is that funny? " , he asked

" Well we made this deal and stuff and well he hasn't been able to convince me at all. Apparently he is gonna lose and I would be the first person to win his game. It's just that I find it hard to believe that he acually loves me. " , I said

" Why? " , Jacob asked

" Because he is a villian! He is the most wanted everywhere and the most feared. I mean I seen what is capable of and it's not fun. " , I stated

" What did he do to you? " , Jacob asked

" He...um...he killed the only person that acually cared for me. " , I sighed

" His name was Mike and he was a lost boy. " I frowned " He was a sweet and a caring boy. "

" Oh I'm sorry about your friend. " , Jacob said. " But Peter Pan doesn't seem bad. "

" He claimed that he loved me. Got jealous of Mike and killed him! " , I exclaimed

" But maybe he is telling the truth. I mean he can't be that bad all the time. Everyone has a soft side. " , Jacob said scooting closer to me.

" Well he does have one. Ever since my friend got killed, he has been nicer to me and well he has been taking me out. " , I stated " But I don't know. "

I could feel tears spilling down my cheek, but then Jacob wiped them away as he gave me a hug and held me near his chest.

" I know that we have met and all. But I feel like we have his connection and well I'm here for you. " , he said

" Thank you Jacob. " , I sighed " But I don't want you to get killed either. "

" I will be fine. " , he said

I looked at him staring into this mysterious hazel eyes and felt loved for once. He held me in his arms and would brush my hair along his fingers as he kissed my forehead.

" So tell me about your family. " , he suggested

" I-I don't want to talk about it. " , I sighed

" Oh it's okay. " , he said

" What about you? " , I asked

" Never really had one honestly. It was hard to be loved. I had to mostly defense myself a lot and stuff. " , he sighed

" Same here. " , I said " I guess we aren't that different after all. I'm glad that we met Jacob. "

" I'm glad too. " , he said

I smiled as I kissed his cheek and scoot myself in his arms as he wrapped his around me. I acually felt safe. I felt something like I never felt before.

I felt loved.

" Thanks for being here. " , I said " I needed that person. "

" I'm here for you no matter what. " , he said

" Thanks. " , I said " You know what I find funny? "

" What? " , I asked

" Well Peter isn't here at all and today has been peaceful without him following me. " , I said

" So you enjoy it when he is away? " , Jacob asked

" Well...no...yes...no I mean he is fun and adventurous. " , I shrugged

" And? " , Jacob asked

" Okay, I guess I do enjoy having Peter around. I mean he usually comes whenever I'm in trouble or when I'm not happy. Like I know he is trying and I'm glad that he is. " , I said " Not mention he is kinda cute I guess. I mean Peter has been protectig for a while and I'm glad that he is there for me. " , I said

" I'm glad that you are here for me too. " , Jacob said

" You? " , I asked as I looked up to him into those hazel... now green eyes and a smirk appeared in his face. He grabbed the hood of the cloak and then put it on again only to reveal...

No it couldn't be.
