Neverland and Peter Pan

Chapter 13

"I-I-Im a what?"

"You're a dragon my dear. Anything that can make a queen and mermaids sing is a dragon or related to one. You haven't even transformed yet. But your time will come soon. Your body is mature enough to maintain the transformation. I don't think it'll be long though, just be sure not to get too emotionally unbalanced."

Queen Clarion paused and look at Peter. She summoned him to come forward, he brought Felix with him.

"Peter, I need you to make sure she stays happy. At least try to so that when she transforms it will be swift and less painful. The more bad emotions she feels the worse her transformation will be. Try to keep her away from meat...Lily can only eat fruits from now until she changes."

"How do you know so much about dragon transformations, Queen Clarion?" I asked.

"You haven't been on the island long but I didn't waste any times I've been reading and researching till I was sure what you were and how to help you."

"Thank you Queen Clarion."

"Feel free to drop by anytime Lily. It won't be long till you turn. You're mature enough in age and form to change, I think it'll only be a few weeks."

Peter cut in with some questions.

"Wait, so what happens when she transforms? What do we do when she does?"

"Peter, when she transforms it'll be the cause of a strong emotion. I'm telling you to keep her happy, it's best she feels an overall feeling of happiness when she transforms. Now, if she transforms from a negative emotion, not only will she transform in a lot of pain, she will go on a rampage and destroy most of the island. If she changes back from a rampaging dragon, she will be half of a real demon. I don't really know why, but that's all I got."

"SO she can stay with me and my lost boys?" Peter asked catiously.

Queen Clarion stabbed her eyes at him, slowly nodding,

"Yes. I'm leaving her in your care. But if any harm comes to her, THERE WILL BE WAR."

"Thank you, Queen Clarion." I said. Her look softened considerably. 

With that we left back for Peters camp. He didn't talk to me the whole way back. I hope he isn't mad at me. I didn't know I wasn't human. What if he accusses me of lying and doesn't want me to be his roommate any more? What if he wants nothing to do with me? When we got back to camp, Peter made an order.

"Everyone! Pack up, we're moving camp now!" 

All the boys scattered and I followed Peter to our tent. Peter didn't say anything to me, but I helped him pack. After we finished he handed me my bag and gave me a pack to carry. He got the rest.

Following the boys wasn't hard, it was the speed they were going. Some moved through the trees, others on the ground, and a few I couldn't see at all. I wasn't sure how far we would go, but the boys seemed to know the drill. Peter wasn't in sight either, he must've been ahead of everyone. I kept telling myself that but I could  feel someone watching me as we moved through the trees. It was that same feeling I felt when I first came here. I hoped Peter wasn't mad at me. When we finally stopped, the new camp was bigger than the last one. Everyone was sat down, cooling off. I spotted Felix but still no sign of Peter.

************************ Switching Point-of-view to Peter Pan's

All of my boys were laying around, I'd get them to work soon. We have to set up camp before we slep and I have to put up a stronger protection spell around our camp. As I watch them all hanging around, I spot Lily. She's looking looking around, looking for me. I'm invisible, so it's safe to look at her. Lily....a dragon. I just knew she couldn't be human. No wonder my spell didn't work. When that mermaid hurt her, I did more tham heal her. After she said that prophocy, I performed a spell to reveal her true form. Nothing happened. Now I know why....she's always been like this. Always abale to hear sharply, she tries to hide it. Always a great fighter, but holds back on herself. Always so beautiful, but always turns down complients and acts so nonchalant about herself. 

Why she didn't realize she was never human...I don't know. That's the dangerous thing about her now. What if Queen Clarion never told her and she turned.....I need to stop thinking about this. I watched her on our way here. She didn't tire out as fast as the boys. I wonder if she's able to sense the changes within her. Most important;t, will I? I have to protect my lost boys and if that means casting her out for her first transformation then so be it. I really don't want to hurt her, but with this added to the equation and her dream. Maybe it's best I don't pursue her, no matter how strongly I feel for her. I'm falling for her and I know it, I need a distraction to keep her safe and my boys safe. 

Patrolling our new camp, I cast the protection spell and made myself visible as I came back to the camp. 

"Alright, everyone start setting up your tents. The faster you make them, the faster you'll get to go to sleep."

My boys dispearsed again and Lily approached me, I stayed calm.

"Peter....um...are we still sharing a tent or am I on my own now?"

She was catious with her wording and I was lost for words. I hadn't thought of that. She starred at me, waiting for an anwser I didn't know how to give. We stood there for a bit as she let me take my time to decide. She knew that tonight's reveal had me catious.

*************************************************Back to Lily's Point-of-view

Peter had reached a decision, I could see it in his eyes. He stood straight and said,

"We can share tonight, but I''ll help you make yours tomorrow." 

Peter walked off to an area and started building his tent. How did I feel about his decision? Sad, adn I had to admit, I had hoped he'd still want to share his room with me. Maybe it is for the best. I didn't want him to know that he hurt me a bit, so I joined in on building the tent and putting things in place. Peter didn't check in on the boys, he just made that couch appear and went to sleep. Me, I meditated, trying not to get upset. I went to sleep I my meditating position and stayed that way the rest on the night. That night, I had no dreams, I only saw colors and felt a stirring in my mind.
