Annie had fallen asleep by the fire, and was being shaken awake by one of the Lost boys. Annie grumpily opened her eyes, and glared at the boy. She recognized him as Tanner.
"What do you want?" Annie mumbled. She just wanted to go back to sleep.
"You have to go to your tent. If Pan sees that you're still up, he'll be mad." Tanner explained.
Annie huffed. "Who cares what that kid says?" She asked.
"You should, Love."
Annie recognized that all too familiar deep voice. Her eyes shot open, and she stood up. A nervous Tanner stood beside her, and Annie could hear him gulp in fear.
"I'm sorry, Pan. I'll be heading to bed now." Annie said. She walked away, and went to her tent. Tanner was still standing by the fire pit, with Pan approaching him. Annie couldn't hear what Peter was saying, but she knew it wasn't pleasant.
Annie slipped inside her tent, and took her boots and gloves off. She didn't know what else to change into, so she kept her clothes from before on as she crawled into bed. Annie was out like a light, and was asleep nearly as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Annie was woken up by the sounds of birds chirping, and boys yelling. Annie rubbed her eyes and stretched as she got out of bed. She slipped into her boots, and left her tent.
"Good morning, Annie." Peter yelled from across the camp. Annie watched as Lost boys ran around. Some were coming put of their tents, and some were collecting things.
Annie walked over to Peter, and stood beside him. "Good morning." She mumbled. It was a nice morning. The sun was bright, and the birds flew around over head. Annie noticed all the pretty flowers that this island has. She hadn't seen them when she first arrived.
"Wanna know what we're doing today?" Peter asked. Annie looked over at him. He had his hands on his hips, and his head held high. A small smile pulled on his lips.
"Tell me." Annie replied.
"Today, we'll be training!" Peter yelled, loud enough for everyone to hear. The boys started whooping and cheering. Annie noticed that a young Lost boy wasn't joining in. All the noise made the birds fly away.
"Training for what?" Annie asked.
"Well, Neverland is a dangerous place. You have to know how to protect yourself." Peter explained. "Now, everyone come with me." Peter yelled, and started walking away. Annie followed after him, along with all the other Lost boys.
As they were walking, Annie looked around at everything Neverland had to offer. The whole island was mainly trees and plants. Annie also tried to remember all the Lost boy's names. She knew grayson, and Luke. Young Hunter looked miserable as he walked at the back of the group. That's when Annie noticed that Tanner wasn't with them.
"Peter?" Annie said, but got no response. She sighed, and shook her head. "Pan?"
"Yes, Annie?" Peter responded.
"Where's Tanner?" Annie asked. Peter gulped, and ignored her question.
