Tiger Lily

chapter 6- Fight then Play

1646, Neverland: Day 2

I woke back up,but it was still dark out. I was confused at first, it should be day. I sat up and jumped to the ground,  landing on my broken wrist. I hissed and clutched the limb looking for Pan. The boys were sitting around, lazily chewing venison. They cheered at me when I walked past.

Felix grabbed my broken wrist. I cried out and tried to pull away, but his grip was like iron. " That hurts," I growled from my throat. Felix started leading me away from the boys.

" You get it,Felix," a boy called from behind me. The others laughed crudely. Felix chuckled at the banter, looking at me. "What's the matter, little Tiger?" he said stopping to look at me.

"My wrist. It feels broken, it hurts," I said standing up straighter. I would not cry in front of the boys.. I couldn't. Felix looked at the bruising and chuckled.

"So how did this happen, Little Tiger?" he was smiling up at me from under his lashes. He was still bent over inspecting the bruise.

" Pan dropped me and my arm hit a tree."

Felix chuckled at me, "He killed a different boy doing that stupid trick. You lucky it was only your hand." I pulled away gently, trying not to blush. Felix was an interesting case.

Pan came out of the bushes. "Tiger Lily! Finally I want you to do something for me! Let's call it a game." He grabbed my broken wrist and pulled. Earning a ferial growl from my vocal cords. " Oh is the princess hurt? Let me fix that," he said exasperated. He bent my wrist violently and pressed his long fingers on the skin. Green smoke, that sparkled in the moonlight, traveled its way into my arm. The pain left, and a comfortable warmth surrounded the broken bone. Pan raised his eyebrows and twisted my bone with the smoke. I groaned in pain and waited for him to fix it. He smiled in the attractive way he does, and clicked the bone into place. He gently pulled his fingers away. "Feel better," he questioned with a slight tone of gaudiness.

" Much," I said darkly. He smiled and led the way back to camp.

" As I said, we're gonna play a game. " He hefted up two staffs thicker than my arms and taller than me. He tossed one to me and I caught it in both hands. "See," he said laughing," We have a rule in Neverland, you have to earn your place here." Pan then tossed the other staff to a boy well over six feet, built like an ox, and the expression of a hungry wolf. The boys started chanting as the cruel one advanced towards me.

I went to the psychic's apartment and hit the door three times. He opened it slowly, " Oh, hey Lily!" he said.

"I got the job," I said. He moved out of the way inviting me inside. I bounced in and sat on his couch. He brought over a bottle of  Merlot and two wine glasses.

"You are old enough to drink right," he said looking at my face.

  I rolled my eyes," I get that way to much. I'm older than I look." I took a sip and smiled at the sweet taste. He sat next to me and smiled with perfect white teeth. He had unruly curly brown hair that was a bit lighter than his skin tone. His eyes were a deep chocolate color and ringed with black lashes. "I'm sorry I never got a name."

"Oh it's Kyle. But my physic name is Moonglow." he chuckled at his name.

"That's retarded" I said snorting," Moonglow?! Your black! Don't white people only get that name?" He laughed and nodded. I smiled, I liked his laugh.

  ♥.              ♥.              ♥. 

He leaned forward and kissed me. I hadn't kissed anyone in a long time..... only.. well that guy. I kissed back bringing my hand up too his face, tasting the Merlot on his lips. It was nice, not electrifying like others I've had... but exhilarating just the same. His hands pulled me closer and unzipped the back of my dress. I broke away and pulled off his shirt.

1646, Neverland. Day 2

The tall boy advanced smiling grousomely. I stood there, shaking from the effort of holding a stick tallied than me. I glanced at Pan, he was enjoying this.

The boy swung down and I blocked it feeling the aftershock reverberate though my arms. Pushing him back, I tried to breathe. This boy was out for blood.. And I'm not going to lose, not going to give that brat the satisfaction. I dropped to my knees and swung the staff underneath his feet, knocking Brawny off of his large feet. His obnoxious head smacked a rock and he groaned in pain as he tried to roll over. I stood above him holding the staff confidently.

"What are you waiting for?!? A formal invitation," Pan whispered this in my ear," Finish the loser. And walk away a champion." I raised the staff, hesitating once more. "He would've done the same to you."

I growled as I brought the heavy stick down twice on the boys skull. Blood and brains splattered on us all and the boys screamed praises in my direction. The boy twitched once, twice then froze. Pan placed his palm on my lower back and led me over to the bonfire smiling secretively. I was shaking as it finally sunk in.

I had just killed two people in a few days. And I didn't deserve what Pan was about to give me, I deserved to be cast out into nowhere and fend for myself.
