YOUR POV

Me and Peter suddenly reappeared in his treehouse. He let go of my arms.

"Sorry..." He grumpily murmured.

I was shocked at his sudden change of mood.

"Apology not accepted!" I snapped. "Your first mistake wasn't even forgiven and you come along and make another one?!"

Peter looked at me.

"What is up with you?" I asked. "Why are you hiding me from others?"

Peter didn't say anything. This was turning out just like our previous argument.

"You...y-" I stuttered. I can't go on any further.

I broke down right there on the spot.

I fell to the floor and hugged my knees. I sobbed like there was no tomorrow. Practically soaking the wooden floor.

I heard soft footsteps and felt Peter take me into his arms. He rested my head against his chest.

I could feel him breathing, the slow rise and fall of his chest was calming, but I didn't feel like that right now.

Peter held me tight, as if he was afraid he'd lose me if he loosened his hold. I cried into his shirt.

I don't know what made me do it, especially since we haven't made up, but I just couldn't resist his arms.

I felt home. I felt happy.

Then I remembered my deal with Piper.

"I have to go somewhere." I murmured and used my magic.

Poof. I was out of his arms. I reappeared on the shores of Neverland.

Taking the shell out of my pocket, I threw it into the sea as far as I could.

No more turning back from that. Tomorrow, I'm burying that box.

***LATER THAT NIGHT***

As the Lost Boys were dancing around the fire, I peacefully ate my dinner on a nearby log, watching them.

A hand grabbed my shoulder.

"Thought I'd find you here." Piper said from behind me.

"What do you want?" I asked and swallowed my food.

"What is it with people these days?" Piper asked herself. "Every time I pay them a visit, they always assume I want something from them."

"Well, don't you?" I  turned around and looked at her.

Piper looked at me and took a seat in the log. "No."

"Well, whatever your reason is, just please go on." I rolled my eyes and looked back at my food.

"Actually, I wanted something." Piper admitted.

I had a sour look on my face and dropped my plate on the dirt.

"Spit it out." I ordered.

"I need you to put that cuff on Pan's right arm at twelve midnight tomorrow." Piper explained.

"Why does it have to be midnight?" I asked.

"Less questions, more listening." Piper snapped. "Just do it. (#Nike)"

An apple appeared on her hand and she bit it. Emphasizing the the loud crunch on her apple. And chewed rather loudly.

I guess it's normal when you live with a naughty brother and a group of unruly boys.

Then Piper disappeared.

I really wanted to call off my deal with Piper. It's definitely got something to do with Peter.

But I needed revenge so bad, that I didn't even feel a single but of guilt at that moment.

Revenge is mine.

***MIDNIGHT THE NEXT DAY***

It's been hours since Peter went to bed. I might've accidentally fell asleep a couple of times, but right now, I was wide awake.

Looking up at the stars through the window of Peter's treehouse, I looked towards his bed on the other side of the room.

He was still sound asleep.

I untangled myself from the covers and tiptoed towards my bag on hanging on the wooden chair.

Opening it, I quietly slipped my hand inside and rummaged through my bag.

I couldn't find the cuff and so I looked inside. But it was so dark, I can't even see my own feet.

I cast a small light and dug deeper into my bag.

Finally I found it sitting at the very bottom. I closed my bag again and looked at Peter. Still asleep, whew.

As I got closer to him, carrying the cuff in my hand, I could see a sad expression on his face.

He'd been crying. Tears stained his perfectly toned skin.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I quickly, but quietly took his right hand and placed the cuff on it.  I knew from that moment, there was no turning back.

"I'm sorry, Peter," I whispered.

"I just...I just had to do this."

I climbed back into my bed feeling different.

I climbed back into my bed knowing I just out Peter's life at risk.

I climbed back into my bed knowing that Peter wouldn't have magic anymore.

I reminded myself. Not a but of guilt.

I fell asleep on my bed knowing that tomorrow, I'd have my revenge.

Hello, Oncers! Sorry for the long update! School has just been really stressful lately. Anyways, thanks for holding on!
