Peter p.o.v

Oh my god she's alive!! Was my first and only thought when I heard Baelfire shout that Beryl was back. I jump up from the bed and race out of the tent. I honed in on Beryl and sprinted. SPRINTED! Oh no not a leisurely walk or jog or run. I SPRINTED like no tomorrow and slammed into her, just barely keeping us up and hugged her tightly to my body.

You have no idea how much I've freaking missed you, Ber.

After she pulled out the arrow in her shoulder blade, I asked if anyone wanted to hear a song. The Boys all shouted and ran for the fire. I turn to Ber and smirk.

"You want to go first or not?" She thought for a second before answering me.

"I think I should go first, just to ease your pain when you lose this game of ours!" I  smile as she walked past me. I sat down on the ground by Felix and waited for her to start singing.

"I have often dreamed

Of a far-off place

Where a great warm welcome

Will be waiting for me

Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face

And a voice keeps saying

This is where I'm meant to be

I will find my way

I can go the distance

I'll be there someday

If I can be strong I know every mile

Will be worth my while

I would go most anywhere

 To feel like I belong

 I am on my way

I can go the distance

I don't care how far

Somehow I'll be strong

I know every mile

Will be worth my while

 I will  go most anywhere

To find where I belong

I can beat the odds

I can go the distance

I will face the world

Fearless, proud, and strong

I will please the gods

I can go the distance

Til I find my hero's welcome

Right.... Where...I... Belong!"

I smile as she finished her song and walked past me. I pull out my pan flute and play a long, slow, haunting tune. The Lost Boys all stood and either went to bed or to their posts for the night. I walk up to Ber and smirk. She looked at me with mock fear before smiling devilishly.

"CALL BED!" We shout and run for the tent. I bust through the tent flap and race for the bed. I see her zip past me and lands on the bed. She must have used her dragon's speed to win. I flop down next to her and wrap my arm around her waist. She rolls over and snuggles into my chest, rubbing her nose into my sternum, making me shiver slightly. I smile and pull the comforter up an fall asleep rather quickly, with the girl that I love in my arms where she belongs.

Beryl p.o.v

Peter seemed to fall asleep fast! I lay on the bed, his arms wrapped around my waist, pinning me to his chest in a tight grip. He subconsciously curled around me and buried his face into my neck. I lean toward his ear and gently whisper words that have been eating at me since I've practically been here and got to know the Boys.

"I love you, Peter." I kiss the side of his head and lay still, just basking in our intimate closeness. I lean forward and place my head on his chest, breathing in his sent of cedars and fire, listening to his even heartbeat and breathing, and soon fall asleep.

I wake up, for once, not a hybrid or even remotely like a dragon. I'm actually fully human, no shifting at all! I try to stretch but soon realize I couldn't because I'm tangled up with Peter. His arms are still around my waist,  my right leg is hitched up to his waist, his legs wrapped around my left leg, his head is still buried in my hair, his nose brushing my skin, my head is tucked into the hollow of his chest, and my hands are tangled in his silky soft hair.

"Peter wake up." He only shifted closer to me and snuggled closer, taking a deep breath and rubbed his nose into my neck, causing me to shiver. I try to sit up and only succeed in moving maybe an inch. I hear someone move the canvas flap of the tent and mumble something in surprise. I can tell from the voice it's Felix.

"Felix! Help me I'm being held prisoner by a sleeping maniac!" I whisper-yell. He chuckled and walked around to my side of the bed. I have to lean my head backwards to look at him. "Please!"

"Hmmm......" He mused, obviously amused at my predicament.

"Come on Felix!"

"Let me think....."

"Felix dang it help me!" He just shook his head and walked away, leaving me where I was entrapped by Peter. I try shaking him awake, then talking really loud, nope still sleeping.

"Baelfire!! Bae!!" I shout and he comes running in the tent and stops when he saw why I was yelling. "Bae help me. Felix refused. I've been stuck like this for nearly 30 minutes!" To prove my point, Peter once again tightened his hold on my waist.

"I'll try but no promises." He walked out and came back in with a bucket filled to the brim with ice cold water. He dumped it on Peter, getting it on me in the process. Peter sputtered awake and looked around in a tired daze.

"What just happened?" His voice was crazy raspy and husky. He looked down at his soaking wet shirt and up at Bae with a now empty bucket in confusion.

"I wanted to get up and you wouldn't wake up so I called in support. Felix just laughed and walked away so I got Bae to dump water on you. Wonderful wake up call isn't it?" He stared at his shirt again then back at me.

"I can successfully say I've been woke up in worse ways, love, promise." He stood up and stretched while Baelfire left. All I could possibly do was stare when he took his shirt off to put on another one. He was thin but muscular, a six-pack of abs and the V of muscle above his pants.

"Like what you see?" He smirked and pulled his dry shirt on over his head. I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"That's also for me to know and you to never find out." He smirked dangerously and walked up to me. I lean away from him playfully. He growls lightly and lunges forward, kissing me.

"I have practice and you have an island to run, Petey." He rolled his eyes, kissed me again, and walked out of the tent. I walked out behind him and grabbed my new designated twin scimitars. After about 30-35 minutes of practice the Boys gave up on trying to beat me in our game of 'Dead'.

"What to do..... I've already met the Indians and the Pirates. I don't really want to see old hags today.... so I think I'll take Bae and mess with some Mermaids." Baelfire's head snapped up at his name.

"What am I doing?"

"Your coming with me to terrorize the Mermaids." He stood, a smile on his face.

"Let's go!"

"Felix! We'll be back soon!" He nodded and we left. It took about 10 minutes to get to Mermaid Lagoon. We search the crystal clear waters for any sign of them but there was none. Baelfire leaned out over an overhang of rock.

"Bae that might not be sma-" Before I could finish Mermaid shot out from under the ledge, grabbed Bae, and drug him into the water.

"Bae! Baelfire? Bae! BAELFIRE!!"
