I'm tired, hungry, thirsty and bored as hell. I believe most of the boys are hunting and I'm left with two of them to watch me. All day I've been trying to get this tape to loosen and it's sort of working... I think. I actually can't wait till sundown. I don't know why they need me and I doubt it'll be good. I looked up at the sky. Only a few more hours I think.

A few hours later...

My whole body is shaking from exhaustion. I'm struggling to keep my eyes open and my body upright. The ropes are scratching my skin, I feel like I'm about to pass out. Suddenly Chris and his boys walk into the clearing, two of the boys are carrying a large wooden bowl and another boy has some sort of stand. They position the bowl above the fire and Chris starts filling it up with all sorts of stuff: Some sort of liquid, a few types of powders and some other stuff I didn't really recognize. Then Chris walks towards me and grabs the small bag he got from that leader. He poured out some green powder over his hand and it started glowing. Once more he glared at me and then suddenly. Ah! He forces his hand into my body and pulls something out. Is that... my... heart? This can't be real, what is going on?

I watch him walk back to the bowl while my body was in an excruciating pain. 'Pan! Get over here!' Chris yells. For a second everything was silent, but then the leader from the other group of boys walks into the clearing. 'Chris, this is the second time you didn't stick to your promise of leaving me alone. You better have a good reason for calling me here' Pan speaks violently while approaching Chris. 'Yes yes of course' Chris says 'I can't seem to crush the girls heart... I thought maybe you can' he says while holding out my heart for Pan to grab. 'Really?' Pan sighs while taking my heart 'you need the great Peter Pan to crush a tiny little heart for you'.

Wait Pan... Peter Pan... Suddenly it all clicked together. Chris is going to kill him using my heart. I don't know how there's any logic in that, but it's the only explanation I can come up with. I try screaming through the tape, which only results in a few confused stares. 'What's up with her?' Pan asks Chris. 'Well, that's her heart. Wouldn't you be upset if you were about to die?' Chris laughs awkwardly. Pan shrugs. I scrape my mouth against my shoulder causing the duct tape to come off. 'Stop! If you crush my heart, it's going to kill you!' I scream hoping he'd believe me. Pan raises an eyebrow at me and turns his head to Chris. Chris looks back at pan as if he was confused and then waves at one of the boys standing next to me 'just shut her up'. The boy steps towards me but I kick him between his legs 'no really, It's some sort of revenge I think! You don't want to do this, please believe me!' I scream but the boy I'd kicked stands up and punches me in the face. He fixes the tape and gives me a warning look. 

Pan holds out my heart above the bowl. O god is this really it? I'm about to get my heart crushed... Well at least I tried...
