The Enemy (peter pan)

Chapter thirteen (Adelia)

The kiss lasts a minute or two, but it seems forever. Even when it slowly comes to a stop, the feeling lingers on my lips.

Butterflies fill my stomach.

As I look into the shimmering eyes of the enemy, I know I have made the right choice.

I truly feel for him, enough that for a minute I forget why I ever wanted to leave.

Wait...

Is that what he's been intending this whole time? Does he just want me to be captivated enough to stay? One simple look into his eyes tells me otherwise. He wears a grin, and this time it isn't influenced by his sarcastic side.

"Peter..." I begin, finally using the name he insisted I call him by.

"Adelia." He smiles, "Wow." he adds, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, I better go to sleep. For real this time." I say, my way of politely telling him I need some space. He nods, grins, and with a "g'night." he leaves my tent, and struts back into the camp, now filled with lost boys playfully battling each-other.

All I can think about is Peter. Is he really as evil as he makes it look?

He's been using me for revenge, that fact still remains.

But who exactly am I luring here? I mean, I've been an orphan since I can remember, drifting from foster home to foster home, encountering the cruelest people you could ever meet. I don't have parents, I don't have anyone.

But one fact I'm assuming is that whoever it is...

They're on their way.
