A couple hours later, I was being woken up by Pan. I guess I had fallen asleep on the floor. Pan reached out his hand to help me up. 

"Can't I just sleep?" I complained. I was tired and just wanted to crawl into bed. 

"No Caitie. We have someone important to celebrate." He responded. 

"Look Pan, I know that around here you're all 'high and mighty' but you really aren't that important." I told him. 

"Haha, very funny. I'm not talking about me." He replied. 

"Oh. Well I'm not that important either. So what is there to celebrate?" I questioned. 

"Will you just stop talking?" Pan yelled. I shrank back. "Get. Up. NOW!" He screamed at me. I slowly took his hand and got to my feet. As soon as I was standing, he wrapped an arm around my waist. I rolled my eyes. Outside, there was a very large bonfire going on with the Lost Boys circling around it. Off to the side sat a boy who looked no older than 12 years old. He was dressed in clothes from the non-magic realm. Peter unsnaked his arm from my waist and went to talk to Felix. This was my chance. I bolted for the forest. 

Behind me, I heard Felix yell, "Get her!" 

Then Pan said, "No. Let me get the bitch myself." I ran as fast as my legs would go, and as far as they would carry me. I heard a twig snap in the distance so I climbed to the top of the nearest tree, trying to blend in. "Caitie, where are you?" I heard him say. I slowed my breathing. "I see you!" He said. He started climbing the tree and as he got nearer to me, the more i started to fear for my life. "Gotcha." He whispered into my ear. "Now, there's a cage with your name on it." He swung me over his shoulder and carried me down from the top of the tree. I couldn't help but start to cry. 

"I can walk you know!" I shouted. 

"Yeah, I know." He said, mocking me. I kicked around for a couple seconds until he finally put me down. But guess what! He just HAD to snake his arm around my waist. He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "You are in SOO much trouble love." I gulped. He walked me closer to camp and stopped at the group of cages. Please, not the cages. 

"Pan, I'm begging you. Punish me any other way. Just not the cages." I pleaded. 

"Sorry, love. I have to do this." He said. He obviously wasn't sorry. 

"Pan, I will spend the night with you. You can keep an eye on me the entire time. From the time that I go to sleep to the time that I wake up in the morning I will be laying there right on that floor." I negotiated. 

"No, if you are going to be staying with me, you will be sleeping in my bed with me." He stated. I rolled my eyes, but let him lead me towards the camp. He took me straight to his tent. "Wait here. I'm telling Felix that you and I are going to have an early night." He walked out of the tent. Tip #2 of surviving in Neverland: Stay close to yourself, NOT to Peter Pan. Unless he's making you share a bed with him. 

Peter came back and took off his shirt, revealing his abs. Damn. Pan smirked evilly. "Come on, shirt AND pants come off." He told me. Oh, God. This is going to be a long night. I stripped down to my undergarments and climbed underneath the covers. Pan climbed in beside me and turned off the lights before wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close. I squirmed around, trying to get comfortable. Eventually, I put my head on Pan's bare chest and fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
