Preperations

**Tinks POV**

“Don’t move!” a quiet but stern voice said from behind me. I slowly raised my hands up and turned around to face the person at the door. I was surprised to find myself facing the girl I was watching in the window a few minutes before.

“Who are you?” She asked as she crossed her arms and glanced at me.

“Tinkerbelle..” I replied, still holding up my hands. She gave me a weird look before replying to me.

“Tinkerbelle? Like the fairy from Peter Pan?” She asked taking a step toward me.

“Well I know Peter Pan, but I don’t know what that has to do with anything.” I replied with a little annoyance in my voice.

“What are you doing here looking through my friends things?” She asked as she walked toward the chest that I had a moment ago, been looking through.

“Your friends with Alex?” I asked surprised. She turned to me with a curious look on her face as I mentioned Alex.

“Yes of course, she was the nurse who worked right next to me in the hospital, and we shared this room together back before she ran away from here.” She replied as she gestured to the room we stood in.

I thought for a moment about what she had just said. I wonder if Alex told her about the book. Maybe then she would help me find it.

The girl was looking at me with a curious look again that made me feel as if she was scanning me, like some detector. It didn’t exactly make me feel calm.

“Well if you were friends with Alex, then maybe you would now were she had put that book of hers that she looked at so much.” I stated with a little hope. The girls face changed immediately from curiousness to downright depression.

“You mean her brothers book. James Book. Yes I know where she put it before she left. She actually left it right by the window before she ran away, but I hid it for her so that it wouldn’t get lost.” The girl replied with a sad tone to her voice. But then she shook off that look and it was replaced again by a curious and an untrustworthy look.

“Wait a moment. Do you know where Alex is? And why do you want the book? If Alex wanted the book so badly then she would have come back for it herself, not send some random person who call themselves Tinkerbelle to go get it.” She demanded glaring back at me.

I took a step back, to try and act like I was not a threat, but I could tell she wasn’t buying it.

“Listen, Alex told me I had to get it before it was taken by the wrong hands. The last thing she needs is to have that book fall into his hands…” I replied stomping my foot as I spoke.

“Whose he? And if you want the book then you have to bring me to Alex. I won’t give you the book any other way.” She stated crossing her arms and staring back at me to see what I would say to such a statement.

“He is Peter Pan, and if you want to go see Alex, then you’re pretty much asking to go into the death trap called Neverland.” I replied with a small smirk. The girls’ reaction was a little enjoyable. I guess she thought I was going insane and that was why I was calling myself Tinkerbelle, but having to tell the girl that her friend was in Neverland took a whole other toll on her.

“Alex is in Neverland? Like the actual Neverland from the book?” She replied with her voice a whole set higher than before.

I was getting tired of this conversation already and this girl seemed to be full of questions, I just needed to cut it short.

“Listen, I have to go, I’m on a schedule so if you will make up your mind then I could possibly get going soon. I asked with a little annoyance in my voice as I sat down on the bed and crossed my legs as I did so.
