Tiger Lily: Peter Pan's POV

Prologue:

I watch her often, she is an interesting creature, she stands on the cliffs, near the old crumbling stone house. There's nothing left in that house but a worn down bed and a clay bowl with a ladle. She stands there for more than an hour, goose-bumped and shivering. She doesn't notice me, although her senses and reflexes are amazing, I'm a skilled hider. She's beautiful in her own way, smooth limbs that are strong and thin. Her hair is long and black, always braided down her back. You wouldn't know it to look at her, that's she's lived long enough to look for what's across the water. Eighty years later, and she is still fifteen.

These days, there is no new world. The maps have long since settled and stayed out. People know the shapes of Africa, Asia, and South America. And they know which beasts are mythical and which weren't. Manatees are real, mermaids aren't. Rhinoceroses exist and sea monsters don't. There are no more sea serpents guarding deadly whirlpools. There are pirates, yes, but there is nothing romantic about them, in fact they scare even the most brave people.

I DO NOT OWN THIS STORY, TIGER LILY, THIS STORY BELONGS TOO JODI LYNN ANDERSON. I will be updating often, hope you enjoy! :)

Chapter 1:

This is a love story but none you've heard before. I'm tall with pale skin and red-brown hair, I've lived along time yet I'm still fifteen. I was out hunting one day when I heard shouts from the Sky Eater's tribe, so I went to observe, I stood at the edge of the forest line watching all the girls in the tribe. They were all in their early teens: some of the girls were awkwardly growing but still thoroughly in their skin, with gangly limbs that express their most passing thoughts while others were curvy, and carrying those curves like new tools they were learning. I recognized Tiger Lily instantly, I have seen her in the forest hunting alone, I found that strange for a girl, but she was different and I couldn't stop watching her. She stood out of the group of girls, she was like a roving panther amongst the other girls. She stalked instead of walked, her body still held the invincibility of a child, when at her age should of been giving away to fragile, flexible curves.

These were Sky Eaters, a tribe whose lives were always turned toward the river. They fished and spent lots of time with each other by the river, they told stories, about me and my brothers, we are the Lost Boys

hope you loved.... Please comment! I'll be updating soon, but not on a specific day of the week, whenever I have time! SHOUT OUT TO ALL YOU PETER PAN LOVERS.... He's amazing!

Chapter 2:

A Sky Eater wandering far into the thick, unnavigable forest was rare, like if a faerie wandered into a hawk's hunting territory. So when the girls heard crashing through the trees they all screamed. I had to cover my mouth from laughing, it was so ridiculous. Anyway, Tiger Lily reached for her hatchet.

Stone, one of the tribe boys, came running through the branches, all the other boys were rallied behind him. Then of course, poor, weak, Pine Sap taking up the rear, weakest of them all. They were all shirtless, and breathless, a muscular and well- organized group with weedy Pine Sap in the back, as always.

Stone gestured for the girls to go with them, some of them still shaken up from the surprise crashing. " you'll never believe it!" Said Pine Sap, who most people just ignored.

The girls followed the boys through the forest, I trailed behind with delicate movements that didn't send a single sound through the woods. I was quick, I hopped diagonal from bush to tree to hide behind, I really didn't need to try and keep quiet. The Sky Eaters' tromping/ running was making to much noise for them to notice me.

Then my eyes found Tiger Lily, I don't know why I always end up looking at her, any how I noticed a tiny movement and realized it was a faerie. Faeries can be unfailingly loyal and will follow you around, and I believed Tiger Lily had her own little faerie friend.
