Neverland (Completed)

Chapter 21

Scott's POV

I replay that moment in my head, over and over and over. The way she tasted, the way her jaw fit perfectly into my hands as I cupped her beautiful face, and the way her hands fit perfectly in mine.
I smile to myself as I pull my clean shirt over my head. I want to hold her again, I have to.
"Scott!" A friendly voice interrupts my thoughts.
"Hey little man, what's going on?" I open the entrance to my tent to see Aaron.
"Ali and I want to go to the beach. But she wanted to ask you to come with us so she would feel safer." I smile, she feels safe around me?
"Yea of course, I'd have to go either way since I have to watch her during the day now." I tell him, he smiles and walks out of my tent.
I grab my swim trunks from my wooden trunk next to my bed, I quickly put them on and walk over to Aaron who is waiting at Allison's tent.
"Ali said she'd meet us here." Aaron said, I furrow my eyebrows.
"Meet us here? Where is she?" I question. Aaron's eyes shifted downward, he pointed behind him.
"She went to help Joseph with something. She said it would be real quick." He glances up at me, he knows the rules. That she can't go off on her own, even if Joseph was with her. Either Peter or I have to be with her.
"What direction did she go?" I ask Aaron as I rush towards the edge of camp with Aaron following close behind. I always listen to my gut and it doesn't feel good.
He points in the direction of a trail that goes into the woods. We quickly walk through the trees, as we walked we felt an evil aura. As we walked a few more minutes deep into the forest we heard a dark voice. I stop in my tracks I turn and tell Aaron to be silent resting a finger on my lips. I crouch down silently moving towards the voice.
"Allison is it? My, you're a pretty thing." I hear the dark voice say. I move closer and through the trees I see a creature with black hair and red eyes sitting on the ground as a dog would sit. I see several tentacles sprawled out of it's back, holding onto Ali by her neck, she's gasping for air.
Aaron angrily moves ahead as if to leave our hiding place to save her, but mindlessly I stop him.
"Go get Peter and the others right now." I whisper to him. He nods and runs in the direction we came. I move quietly behind the creature. I think quickly, I didn't have a weapon or have the time to run back to camp. I saw a large log on the ground, and quickly pick it up, I walk out of hiding, crawling behind the creature. I stood and wound up the log over my head as I exit the safety of the trees. But as I'm about to hit the monster in the head I was hit in the stomach hard, I drop the log. A tentacle wraps around my waist and torso tightly. As it grabs me, its grip on Ali's neck loosens, the creature grabs her waist, tightening the grip. I hear her cough and breath, I tense from anger.
"How nice of you to join us, Scott." It looks up at me, as I struggle to get out of its grip.
"You ugly son of a b-" I start angrily before something covers my mouth.
"Hey no need for that language here boy." The creature spoke. It turns back to Ali, and snickers. "Can you believe this guy?"
I couldn't get out, it was hopeless.
I look at Ali who's mouth is not covered, she's not struggling or anything. She looks exhausted and sick.
"No one can help you now." The monster laughs, walking deeper into the woods, with us dragging behind it.
In a flash the tentacles that held me flew off the creature. I was suddenly free. Peter came out of thin air and rushed for Ali, holding his two sword in each hand. He dodges the attacks quickly, cutting one or two tentacles off. The monster screechs loudly, everyone held their ears. Peter was flung roughly to the ground by a tentacle, then into a tree, dropping his swords. Matt and the others jump at the monster, they're dodging the monsters attacks, soon enough some are flung to the ground by tentacles, others were hit by Peter who is now in the monsters grasp and unconscious. Matt actually hit the creature with his axe, he too was pushed to the ground. The creature screeches in pain, it starts to run away. I stand and run at it grabbing the two swords Peter had, but I was hit by someone the creature threw, I hit the ground hard.
I stand up slowly and shake my dizzy head, I look and see the creature running away quickly with Peter and Ali in its grasp, screeching. I run as far as 2 feet before falling to the ground in pain. I grab at my side, I look down and see blood on my hands. In horror, I lift up my shirt to see a 1 inch hole in my side. I fall to the ground unconscious from the sight of blood.

Peter's POV

Ah so painful. I wake up, my head and body hurt. I couldn't move, I look down and see a black rope wound tightly around my whole body. I panic and struggle to free myself, but I think what freaked me out more was the fact I was being dragged. The ground was moving, I follow the black rope to the source and lay my eyes on the demon that held me captive. I look wide eyed at its black hair and face. But how... I saw it die. Anger boiled this is all the demons fault. I felt too weak to do anything by this point.
I turned my head weakly, in shock, I saw Ali unconscious, covered in black rope as well. She looked pale and fragile.
Why does she always have to be in danger? What a bother. I look away with a frown.
As the demon moved along, my head throbbed, my head shook. I have to just rest my eyes. I'm so tired.

"Peter!! Peter!! Help! Everyone!" I heard a voice scream. I rush out of my tent to the panicked person. Aaron was out of breath and panicked.
"What's wrong?" I ask in a worried tone.
"Scott... Ali... monster... in the woods." Aaron breathed. He pointed behind him. I run back into my tent and grab my two falchion swords. I tell Aaron to stay here with Andrew and John while the others and I go and find Scott and Allison.
