Tethered || Peter Pan OUAT

Chapter 17: Stick

|| A L I V I A ||

A panicked person came barging through, "Peter someone has broken into camp." Standing with a jolt Peter read the look of distress written on his cousin's face and sighed. "I thought that was nothing, where is he now?" "Don't know, he disappeared in a cloud of dust." Newt said shifting uncomfortably.

Without a moment of hesitation, Peter swirled around and there stood a man. His skin was rough and gold. His eyes looked unnatural for a human face to behold, with his teeth molding into sharp edges. If Alivia could recall correctly, she had seen the man talk to the queen before.

And the reason for his prescience was that he had a deal to make. Yet, the queen quickly denied him. "Ah, Peter Pan." He spat as he grinned sickeningly. "What do you want?" "Thought I would just stop by and see how things were keeping up here." he sang looking over at Alivia.

"Ah I see, pretty little girl you have there pa," he said without any thought at all. Peter glared shifting in front of Alivia. "Why are you really here?" "I was wondering if you have happened to see my son lately."

"He has recently went on a journey that I had no knowledge of and I was wondering if you had found him?' "I do not care to capture your son," "How is the hunt for the boy you call Henry going?" he asked dragging his finger across his bottom lip. Alivia looked over at Peter, a questioning gaze fixated on her face.

"Ah looks like you haven't told little deary here about all of your plans." "She has just arrived, she has not had the time to learn of everything." "And ,why, she had a terrible rough life before coming here, my condolences go out to you." He said through clenched teeth. Alivia had found herself yet again uncomfortable under the gaze of Rumplestilkin.

"I think it would be best if you would see yourself out Rumple." Peter said lowly. Yes, Alivia had only been there for at least a week. She barely scraped the surface of the island. But she had never seen Peter so fed up with another person before.

Or in other words so intimidating with the way he looked at the man before him. "Newt would you please take Alivia and go." "Aha so that is the name she goes by here." "Now please." Peter said shortly, not a glance back with a reassuring smile, but with a cold shoulder.

"Uh, hey doll, I think we should go," Newt said giving her a small smile. With no objections she followed right behind the boy. Though she couldn't for the life of her bring herself to look away from the dark one.

Walking out of the hiden place, Alivia could feel air come easily to her throat. He took a quick glance her way as he opened his trembleing mouth "Erm, you do happen to know the way back, correct?" Alivia nodded too frozen in shock to verbally respond.

"Great, can you see that yourself gets back saftely then?" Before Alivia could muster up a protest, Newt went back in without another word. Sighing in complete defeat Alivia turned and made her way back, without a person by her side. At the moment Neverland was not vibrant and beautiful as before but more dark and hidden. As if the land was protecting itself from the unexpected visitor.

Alivia made it back into camp in less than 10 minuets. Only to be greated by Mathew and his facade of irksome friends. "Look who decided to show up, why it's the girl that's getting Peter distracted so now we are under attack." One noted laughing. "You are proably a no good broad that can only smile and wave off your loved ones to war." Mathew said chuckling.

Ignoring them with her head held high she walked through the camp entrance. "Where's Peter?" Felix asked as soon as he spotted her. "At his secret place." She responded not knowing what to call the place she had just visited. Leaving without another word Felix was gone and out of sight, the woods clothing him in the darkness. "Oi ye no good lazey bum, give that back." Alivia heard a boy curse at another.

"Oho, didnt know such a young lad, could have such a rotain mouth." "Ye gonna find a wee bit more if ye don't give it back." Ace said through gritted teeth. "Yeah like the fact that I'll shove this stick up your nose?" Kit added as he crossed his arms. "Doubt it, you are far too short to even reach me." The older boy retorted. "Oh brother" Reese said rolling his eyes.

Alivia made her way to the caos. "Being short has great advantages just so you know." Kit threatened still flustered over the boy. As the boy saw that Alivia was making her way over to them he grinned with ease.

"Oh, joy, it's you." The boy said addressing Alivia. Narrowing her eyes at him she glanced between the gap of him and Ace. "Ah you want me to give it back aye? How about a smooch on the cheek?" He grinned patting his left cheek with a couple of soft pats.

He leaned out further waitng for the kiss he was never going recieve. Because in a lick of time Alivia punched him rigth where he wanted a peck. Dropping what was in hand he stumbled backwards.

"Oi, a fisty one hm?" he asked shoving her by her shoulders. Before anything else could take place the world around them shook. Stumbling away from the boy she looked over the entrance. As her foucus cleared, in came Peter, Felix, and Newt. "Everyone it is time for dinner." Peter called out.

Who was clearly worked up from what had just happened. But that didn't stop him from forcing a smile that Alivia had grown found of. The boy turned his gaze towards Alivia. "Maybe next time girl," he said winking at her. "In your dreams." She responded coldly.
