Phil then went on with a deeper explanation but i wasn't listening to him. His voice was just fuzzy noise that I couldn't focus on. I needed to process this.
"What?" I said letting it sink in. "You liar" I screamed taking the sword once again and going over to Pan. One of the lost boys jumped in and throw a punch connecting it with my face. Catching me off guard, I stumbled back catching my balance just in time.
"I never lied" Pan said "You're the one who made the deal. It's not my fault you didn't get all the details first, that's on you."
"Fine then Phil gets to go and I'll stay here." I argued. I didn't want to leave Phil but he had a chance to leave and be safe. I couldn't get in the way of that. I couldn't be selfish I had to think of him.
"No" Phil shouted trying to stand up but his pain of being beat up made it difficult. I dropped the sword and ran over to him. Throwing his arms over my shoulders helping him stand up and look at me.
"Phil it's ok I'll be fine."
"Dan I'm not leaving you. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and I'm not going to lose you. Lion needs his bear." Phil said looking up at me with loving eyes.
"So we stay and what work for Pan?"
"well yes and no."Phil said confusing me. Phil let go of me and limped over to Pan.
"Pan, when Dan made his deal he didn't say we get to leave he just said we would be free. So technically that means we could stay on the island just not under your rule."
" I-" Pan began to say but was interrupted by Phil.
"Unless you're planning on breaking the deal. Otherwise known as cheating and that would be very adult of you to cheat people out of what they're owed. Don't you think? So Dan and I will set up camp on the other side of the island. Well stay out of your way, you stay out of ours. Agreed?"
"I'll admit you two make quite the pair. The warrior and brain. I think you both are worth more alive than dead so I'll allow you to live on my island and I will leave you alone, but on one condition."
"What's that?" I asked
"If there is ever a threat against the island or the boys you will fight on my side to defend it" Pan seemed pretty sure of himself like he knew something we didn't but that didn't really matter at the moment. Phil turned to me and we Both nodded.
"Ok" Phil and I said in unison
"Good then we have a deal" Pan said "Boys!" Peter yelled signaling an announcement was coming. "An agreement has been made. These boys are to be left alone by us and in return they fight with us when needed. You were a witness to Dan's sword skills and Phil's logic we can use that on our side and so they are free to live." The boys started cheering and by this point I realized they don't even know what their cheering for they're just agreeing with Pan.
"Boys back to camp!" Peter yelled and all the boy ran off.
Peter turned around and said one last thing.
"I'm glad I didn't have to kill you." Then he walked off into the forest.
Phil and I both let out a sigh of relief that that was over.
"So now what?" I asked
" I got an idea of where to go" Phil replied throwing an arm over my shoulder for support.
"Where?" I asked
"you'll see just walk straight" Phil said smiling. We started to walk the opposite way that the boys went into the forest.
"You really thought fast on your feet back there. Maybe you would have been a lawyer is you stayed back in the real world" I said
"No way!" Phil objected. "But I could totally see you as one"
"Me as a lawyer" I laughed "with that workload I would have way too many existential crisis's to get through it" I laughed.
"Well then I guess it's a good thing we both got sent here huh?" Phil smiled
I leaned in and kissed him quickly
"Yeah definitely a good thing."
We walked for a little while more until we came to a clearing that looked just like the other camp accept a lot older and run down.
"What is this?" I said smiling at Phil
"It's the old camp we used to stay at until Peter made us move. It's going to need some work but I think we can make a good home for us here. What do you think?" He asked
"Of course we can. This is amazing!" I exclaimed. I kissed Phil again
"I love you" I said
"I love you too" he said kissing me
I helped Phil get up the ladder of the biggest treehouse we could find and we both cuddled on the bed.
"I'm so glad that shadow took me here." I said
"Me too. Goodnight bear" Phil agreed
"Night lion" I said kissing his head.
--------------------------
What felt like two months later.
"Hey Dan?" I heard Phil yell.
"What?" I yelled back from across the camp.
"Can you come hand me the hammer? It fell" Phil asked
"Yeah" I called back. I walked to the treehouse Phil was working on and picked the hammer up off the ground carrying it up the ladder and handing it to Phil.
"Thanks." He said and hammered the last nail into the door to hold it in place. I turned to look off the balcony to see everything we had accomplished. All the treehouses finally looked good again. Even though it was just Phil and i we still wanted it to look nice. We had our own fire pit in the middle and we even got some crops to start growing on the side of the camp. From on the balconies of all the tree houses you can see the ocean one one side and when you look over the forest you can see the spot that Phil set up to teach me how to shoot a bow with better accuracy. Which is good because It's a lot easier to hunt with a bow rather than a sword. One of the best parts about where the camp is located is it's right by this amazing cave that is right by the ocean, so half of it fills with water and the other half you can sit on the rocks with no roof so the moon shines though at just the right time making it really romantic. Phil came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Look's good" Phil said
"Yeah it really does." I responded
"The sun is starting to set. Wanna go to the cliffs and watch?" Phil asked
"Of course!" I said excitedly. We climbed down the ladder and Phil placed his hand in mine and laced our fingers together holding it as we walked to the cliffs.
Once we got there we sat down and Phil put his head on my shoulder while we watch the sun begin to set.
"What's that?" Phil said pointing to a ship that was coming towards the island.
"A ship? Is that even possible?" I asked
"I don't think so. Only if they found some sort of power to cross realms, but that's extremely rare." Phil explained. We watch the ship as i came closer and the details became clearer to see. Once I could make out the name of the ship realization set in and i jumped up.
"Dan? What's wrong?" Phil asked worried standing up to.
"That's not possible. This isn't happening." I said to myself looking down at my feet.
"Dan? What's going on?" Phil asked trying to get an answer again.
"That ship. The name." I said shakily. Phil looked out and read the name aloud.
"The Jolly Roger? Do you know that ship?"
"I would never forget the ship." I said
"Dan," Phil said slowly "Who's ship is that?"
I turned to look Phil in the eyes dreading to say the name i haven't thought about in a long time.
"His name's Killian Jones... He's My father."
