"Do you remember this necklace?" Peter asked while holding up the homemade necklace. It was basically a piece of string with a cork attached to it.

"Yes! That was the cork of the wine we had on my first night. You gave it to tootles and he made it into a necklace to give to me" I smiled at the memory.

"Remember what nibs said that night?" Peter asked

I burst out laughing "the more you weigh, the harder you are to kidnap. Stay safe! Eat cake!" Me and Peter said at the same time while cracking up at the end.

"Amen!" A voice shouted down the hall. Me and Peter were laughing even harder. Got to love it when nibs hears your conversation about him.

I sighed and looked back down at my draw. "Hairspray, hairbrush and a old locket" I mumbled

"Wait a minute. Old locket?" I picked it up and examined it. "Peter have you seen this locket before?"

He stood up and walked to me. I held the locket out to him, he took it and also examined it. "Who's lux?"

I shrugged "no idea I just found it in my draw. Open it"

He glanced at me then opened the locket. "A brunette boy and a little blonde toddler. It's a girl. She's wearing a pink dress and a big bow on her head"

"Let me see" I said while holding my hand out. He placed it in my hand. I picked it up and inspected the picture. "Doesn't that boy look familiar"

Peter shrugged " hey what's this?" He asked whilst holding up my foundation blender. "It's very oddly shaped" he said while squishing it.

"Ahh its just a make up blender, I use it for my foundation" I said while digging through sheets of paper.

"Okay 90% of these papers are drawing tootles drew for me" I said whilst straightening them up. "I should stick them into a book"

"That sounds like a lovely idea" Peter said while tilting his head to the side.

"Yeah for the sadasses!" Ursula chimed in. Yep you guessed it. She's here in the room. To be honest she won't leave me alone. She's always there. Criticising me, shouting mean things at Peter or flirting with newt. It's only been a few hours!

"Let's take a break" peter said whilst pulling me up off the floor. "We can have the last of frypans fudge cake"

I nodded whilst my stomach grumbled. Peter laughed and held the door for me. "Malady" I scowled at what he called me but still walked out of the room.

"This is amazing" I said between a mouthful. Peter nodded in agreement then shoved a huge piece in his mouth.

"Rose!" Newt yelled walking into the room with a big book in his arms. He looked us up and down before settling his eyes on me "I need to talk to you. Like now"

I nodded and turned to peter "be right back" I said then jumped off the chair and followed newt all the way back to the living room.

" I found something that can help us" he said whilst showing me the page.

"The lake of imperium" I nodded in acknowledgment. "And how does this help us?"

Newt rolled his eyes "it says that if a person who has a second person in their head drinks from the water that the other will be banished from their head. The last part is in Latin but it seems legit" newt shrugged.

"Where is it?" I asked

"On an island on the outskirts of neverland. It's called night terror" I froze at the name. "You know it?"

"Night terror is the most dangerous island in the realm" a voice said at the door . Both me and newt turned to see rufio standing there with his arms folded. "It is said that peter banished all the evil creatures from this island and the other small ones and placed them in one place"

"So the lake is somewhere in a death zone?" I asked.

Rufio nodded "I have been there a couple of times and only just came out alive. Why do you need to go to the lake there?"

I looked at newt who shrugged. I sighed "Ursula is in my head"

He nodded "I knew this would happen. Meet me in here at midnight" he said and walked out of the room.

"I better get back to peter" I said and started to walk away. Newt quickly grabbed my arm making me look at him. "What?"

Newt hesitantly let's go off my arm. "I just wanted to know if your okay after slightly?" He mumbled.

I nodded and gave a small smile "I'm fine newt" he nodded and then I walked out back to peter.

As soon as I got back into the room I seen a guilty looking peter. "What did you do?" I asked tilting my head to the side.

He showed me the two empty plates that once had two slices of cake on them. "I'm sorry rose. I couldn't help myself"

I shook my head whilst laughing a little bit "it's okay peter. Besides it was a bit sickly in my opinion"

He gave me a smile and hugged me "what did newt want?"

"Oh he just asked me if he could borrow my umm... hairdryer?" I questioned myself.

"Hairdryer?" Peter asked in doubt.

"Yeah he needed it to-"

"Stop lying to me rose" Peter demanded, eyes darkening.  I took a step back "I've known you've been lying since breakfast. Now what are you and newt really up to!" He shouted.

"I can't tell you" I said while stepping even further away from peter.

"And why not!" Peter screamed whilst throwing one of the plates at the wall next to my head. I screamed and ducked.

"R-rose I'm sorry" peter said taking a step towards me but stopped when I flinched.

"Rose!" Newt yelled and barged into the room with a couple of other boys. Newt dived down next to me and helped pull me up.

"Peter what did you do?" Felix asked. Peter just stormed past them all.

"Are you okay" newt asked me with both of his hands on my cheeks whilst looking me  up and down. I quickly nodded. "Thank god!" He said pulling me into a hug. Which I gladly accepted
