Look in My Eyes

A Midnight Dream

[A/N: I was told by someone that they ship Jonathan and Gem and I sat there all confused and slightly disturbed. When I explained that that should and never would happen she replied saying she didn't know how old Jonathan was. I thought I did say, so forgive me. Jonathan Kane is 12 years old and Gemma is 17. Gemma used to babysit him before he was taken by the Shadow. They used to spend so much time together that they created a sibling bond; Gemma being the older sister, Jonathan being the younger brother. I hope that clears some things up. *licks you all*]

They teleported back to camp and, Gem being used to the familiar feeling, walked back to her usual spot. Jonathan was curled up next to Geoffrey. She smiled down at her family and lay on the other side. Gem could hear a slow, low tune coming from what had to have been a flute or pipes in the distance. She identified the lullaby as the one she had been singing earlier that night and smiled at the thought that Peter had been listening. With these thoughts in mind, she slowly drifted off to sleep.

Gemma was walking through the forest when she heard a shuffling to her left. She turned to see a white hart standing there in the moonlight staring at her. She slowly approached it until she was in front of him. He put his right hoof forward and bowed. All she could do was fall to her knees and cry. The hart stepped forward and rested its hoof on her shoulder and placed the side of his face to hers. Her heart skipped and she felt a warm, wetness on her shoulder. She looked over to see the hart crying. She pulled back and kissed his forehead. Its eyes began to glow a soft silver. An explosion of fairies and sparkles surrounded them in a cyclone of beauty. She placed her forehead on the hart's and they both closed their eyes. Suddenly a wind surrounded her, warming her heart. The cyclone died down until there was only soft flows of light swirling around them. Gem stood up and held her hand on its shoulder as the hart led her down the path towards the pool of water she had bathed in. They had reached the pool when the hart walked into the pool and disappeared into a confetti of silver that swirled into the pool. A soft breeze was surrounding the pool causing the tall grass around the water to hum her lullaby. Gem then knew what she had to do.

Gem woke up to see a full set of stars still painting the sky and the full moon high. She sighed and turned towards Geoffrey to find he wasn't there. She slowly sat up and heard a faint bark in the distance. Gem stood up and made her way towards the forest. She had gone at least 20 feet in when she turned to see Geoffrey. She blinked and there stood her white hart in his place. Gem walked towards him and he bowed to her. She bowed her head then placed her hand on his shoulder. They turned and headed towards the pool until they were finally there. Gem stood back as her hart walked into the water before disappearing into the silver shimmers that eventually swirled into the center. She looked into the pool and saw a bright, silver glow at the bottom. She took off her clothes and walked in before she was able to dive down to the bottom of the pool where she saw the source of the glow. Gem swam down to it and grasped it before letting herself float back to the top. She was back above water, holding the glow in her hand. It was a silvery white stone surrounded by an intricate silver design like tree branches and vines, held up by a silver chain. She held it in her hand as she felt it pulse like a tiny heartbeat. 

"Gem?"

She turned around with a smile on her face and walked out of the pool. Peter stood there amazed at her. She walked out of the pool, yes walked. She didn't swim. She walked. But that wasn't all. While her pile of clothes were laying on the ground beside his feet, which he clearly noticed, she had walked out of the pool wearing a silvery gown that reached the ground and she was holding a glowing pendant. Gem walked up to Pan and grinned up at him. He looked down and noticed the pendant and looked up clearly confused but took the silver chain anyway before placing it around Gem's neck. Their eyes never left each other's even as Gem's eyes glowed a silver for a brief moment as the pendant touched her chest.

"Gem." Was all he whispered. 

Then, Gem collapsed.
