I got bored at the camp after seeing all the tents and was creeped out by the animal corpses that were hanging upside from a tree. So I decided to stroll around and came across a cliff that wasn't near the sea, but still was very high from the other forest under it.
I sat down watching as the sun set. An ombré of pink and orange light up the whole sky. This was my first time seeing such a sight in this gloomy island. I wrapped the cloak around me warming myself up and stared at the landscape.
I wanted Karma next to me. I wanted him to be the one giving me a warm place to let my head rest on, not a cloak made from animal skin. I wanted my father to scold me for waking up so late or for staying up late playing poker with the crew.
I cursed my self for showing such weakness. I used my arm to wipe away the tears that found their way down my face. I stood up and trailed back to the campsite finding some white roses on my way that I had cut off for later.
I let out a depressed sigh when I heard shouts and conversations nearing my way. My eyes stayed glued to the floor and flowers in my hands as I entered the back where the tree I was trapped on was.
"There she is. I told you she wondered off" a teen yanked on my arm and pulled me out of my hiding spot.
"Hey, get your hands of me" I pulled on his hands as he pushed me down in front of a pair of feet. I looked up to see an outraged Pan looking down at me with both his hands clenched in fists. He grabbed me so that now I was surrounded by him and his companions.
"What do we do to people who disobey me?" Pan asked making his voice clear and loud enough so that they could all hear.
"We punish them" they all chorused each other in the same monotone sound.
"That's right" Pan replied looking back at me. He yanked on the cloak that ripped in two and moved me towards a corner. He pushed me up a tree that scratched itself against my back.
"Dylan hand me my crossbow" he retorted letting the young boy pass a big wooden crossbow to him. It had a very nice design in the side and the arrows seemed to be made by material that wasn't made out of bones and felt like the other arrows.
"Tie her up" he demanded reloading the weapon and standing far from me. The boys tied me against the tree except this time it wasn't just my hands, but my whole body. I couldn't move since it was tied very tightly.
"This is a little game I like to call target practice" he lifted up the crossbow and positioned himself. His eyes squinted as he looked straight at the target which just so happened to be me.
"Nick, today's your lucky day" Pan chuckled lowering the weapon just as a boy with raven hair and sad droopy brown eyes walked out of the crowd.
It was as if the boy was a disgrace to the lost boys since all the boys went completely silent except for one who snickered at the timid youngster. His hands were trembling when he was handed the weapon. His weak arms went down with the weapon and with Pans help he was able to hold it up again.
"Nick's still learning so I hope you don't mind" Pan said grinning evilly at me.
"Listen kid, you don't have to pull the trigger" I tried convincing him while squirming around trying to free my hands. His face showed fear and a slight hint of embarrassment
"Nick just shoot" Pan stood next to him and moved the crossbow towards my direction when Nick had accidentally been holding it wrong.
"What if I m-miss?" Nick stuttered readjusting himself.
"Than you miss" Pan hissed at him. A few seconds had passed and Nick still hasn't shoot the arrow. Pan groaned in annoyance next to me and pointed his finger at the apple he just made appear on the top of my head.
"Shoot" Pan shouted. Finally Nick placed his finger on the trigger and aimed right at the apple. I didn't trust in him at all, he was for a fact untrained so my life was now in his hands.
"AHHH" I screamed as I saw the sharp dagger like arrow come racing to me. I ducked my head just in time as it made contact with the tree. The apple had fallen of and onto the floor. My heart felt like it was about to burst from all the panic that had risen in me.
When I tried to lift my head up, the back of my head was softly punctured by the end of the arrow. My eyes widened knowing if I hadn't tucked that arrow would've been right in between my eyes.
"Oh so close" Pan clapped in excitement. Nick had dropped the weapon and began apologizing immediately as he saw the results.
"He almost killed me!" Pan removed the arrow and lifted my chin up so he could easily see how terrified I was. He moved the arrow and pointed it straight to the part of my chest were my heart was.
"That would have been amusing" he said pushing the arrow tip in a little deeper into my chest, but not enough to actually hurt me.
"Amusing my ass, you're lucky I'm tied up!" I uttered. With a swift of a hand he untied the ropes around me and pushed me so now I was in front of four boys.
"Take her to the treehouse, make sure she doesn't run away until I come back" the boys all nodded and directed me towards another section of the camp. Everyone else was escorted back to their jobs as lost boys and went back as if it was just another normal day.
"What? You've never seen a girl before?" The boy on my left ignored my comment I had made after I saw him looking at me strangely. I wonder how long most of them have been here and if some of them remember me. Tomorrow when he brings me back hopefully I can sneak off and see for myself.
Now I just have to follow all my plans and wish for the best. Maybe searching through his tent would help me with looking for a answer. I'll find a way to get in and buy myself some time so I couldn't get caught. If everything goes as planned this week, I might be off this island in no time.
