Noah and Peter were left behind on the field to play around. I had told Peter I just needed a quick walk to myself, I guess he could also feel all the pressure and anxiety I had in me. I kicked a couple of sticks and crushed various dead leaves underneath me. I couldn't stop thinking about my father and what Pan had previously told me.

But avoiding that topic, I can still remember the feeling of being able to use my powers. The way I felt so energetic after achieving a small spell or how I felt too powerful being able to perfect one. I stared at my hand and all the creases forming from my palm. Just what if I had those powers.

"What's wrong with me" I sighed deeply while slapping my cheek softly. I tilted my head up and saw the full moon being covered by many tree branches. It still looked pretty. I ruffled my own hair and continued walking deeper into the forest. Lately, I haven't been able to think straight. I sometimes have those urges of just staying in bed the whole day to recharge myself.

Other days I the strong desire to leave this island with Noah and venture out for my father. I just needed answers and his warmth again. I've lost my mother and Karma. I don't need to lose my father too. But if I leave, I'd be losing my first "love". If that's what this whole mess is.

How did I get from wanting to set foot on Neverland, having nightmares about a childhood friend, to wanting a way out this island and now possibly hating my father? I stopped and stood in the middle of the dying trees. I couldn't hate my father, if I found a way to like, love Peter there's nothing in this world I can't love. Ok, maybe except for Ashley and Dylan.

"Ugh" I screamed deeply. Why is this so complicated? Why can't I just be home but be with the ones I love? Opinions shouldn't matter, if I want to love a bloody demon, I'll love him with all I've got.

"I'm in love with a bloody demon" I giggled crazily rejoicing all my father's curses about Peter in my head.

"And I can't do shit about it" I sighed kicking a pile of leaves causing it to collapse. I see a trail of twigs and stomp on them. A toddler, that's what I'm acting like. My boots jump up and down, leaving marks on the twigs. Crunching echoes around me. I jump one last time and stand there silently.

I was about to move until I heard another crunch. I looked down at my feet, confused. I didn't jump nor did I step on something else. A low snark came from my side signaling that I wasn't the only one in the woods. I stop breathing and listen carefully to where the noise comes from.

A loud thud echoes around me and my feet are bombarded with leaves the wind blew in. I turn my head slightly to see what the large shadow behind me was. Out of the pitch black background I could make up a round face that looked to be the size of an enormous creature.

As soon as I saw it's eyes glow slightly I sprinted in the opposite direction. My shirt danced and tangled with the tree branches that seemed to pull me back to the thing. My boots had wet leaves and mud stuck on them. My arms sprawled around me, hoping to make a path for me to get out the woods.

My feet push a little harder hearing the sounds of leaping and struggle from behind me. I practically feel it's drool splattering all over me back. Feeling the temperature rise around me, I make a sharp corner just enough for me to make t back to where Noah and Peter where.

The thing whimpered but I was too busy running to recognize it. My throat became dry making Peter and Noah not able to hear to my muffled screaming. A taller figure was running up to me and as it slowly got closer I realized it was Peter.

"Noah" I wheezed, "Protect Noah" I shouted at Peter who reached his arms out for me. I crashed into him and we both tumbled down onto the long, sharp grass.

"What's going on Melina?" Peter asked lifting the both of us up. I shook my head vigorously and pointed at Noah who was standing quietly behind us.

"There's something lurking in those woods" I coughed showing him the woods in front of us.

"I don't believe it's that frightening" Peter scoffed looking at me with a face full of annoyance. I groaned and shoved him out the way.

"Noah, lets go" I grabbed Noah's hand and dragged him to my side.

"I thought we were playing" Noah trailed but was stopped by a howl coming from the woods I had ran out of. Noah screamed in fright and I saw rows of trees shaking. It was coming to us.

I picked up Noah and began running while huffing. Peter wasn't anywhere to be seen so I guessed he was doing something about the creature. I kept Noah against shoulder with my right hand of his head to support him. A shock of pain care from my burning thighs. I kept running to where I knew the camp would be at. I don't think the lost boys could possibly take this one out on their own.

The forest becomes gloomier and I can't see where I'm running. Noah gasps causing me to pause until I could clearly see he was in awe. What is he looking at?
