Peters' lost girl

Scarletts hide and seek

Henry... he had no idea how dangerous his situation was , he had no idea what he had just unleashed onto the island and onto his own very limited life.

Following the other lost boys Henry bolted as fast as his feet could carry him in to the deepest parts of the Neverland forest he could reach, not knowing any hiding spots on the island, so in sheer panic mode he attempted to climb as high as he could into a tree with the most coverage.

Meanwhile back at the camp Peter still had hold of a shaking Scarlett who was not calming down at all but began to cry "hey scar hey whats wrong why are you crying please calm down" the helpless boy cooed at his lost girl, he was stumped with ideas he had only had to deal with the girl in this state once before but she had never gone as far as to cry, this is what concerned him, Scarlett never cried, never had , never will is what she had told him when it was brought up in conversation many years ago. Lip quivering and tears threatening to spill down her cheeks " he he tried to kill you" she managed to choke out before again stumbling into a blind rage which this time Peter could not shake her out of at all, this time the boys better beware because Scarlett's on the war path.

Running after the emotional lost girl Peter latched his hand aroud her wrist, steading her shaking hand for a second, spinning her around, Scarlett didn't have time to let out the string of hateful and angry words that sat in the tip of her tongue before a warm sensation came over her lips silencing any profatenies from coming out, her green eyes widened in shock before fluttering closed and kissing Peter back, puling away slowly she kept her eyes shut for a second more soaking in the bliss of what just happened, with Pters arms still round her waist Scarletts eyes flew open and she froze in shock... Peter kissed me... Peter Kisses ME! She thought, she opened her mouth to say something but nothing but s mousy squeak came out making Peter chuckle that beautiful sound he makes only when around scarlett.

Letting the magic of the moment they just shared cloud her mind for a minute Scarlett almost forgot her reasoning for being out in the forest... almost. Still in a lovestruck daze the ruffled girl stumbled out of Peters strong grasp on her almost toppling over before gaining her balance against a nearby tree. Peter still stood in the same spot merely watched the distorted girl navigate her way through the cluster of trees they where hidden in. turning around glancing at the handsome boy Scarlett smiled ... a genuine smile... "well talk aout this later mister, but first I have a traitor to fined" a wicked grin spearding across her face as Peter stood shocked and a wave of worry washed over him as he watched her retreating body dissapere into the sepths of  neverland.

Left alone in the space he mere seconds ago shared a special moment with the girl of his dreams, Peter grew frustrated with the girl, why is she so adminant to get to Henry, what is she going to do to him, we cant have a repeat of last time, that cost him one of the best lost boys hes had in centuries. Kicking up the dirt on the ground in frustration he set out in the same direction the lost girl had dissappered hoping to reach her before she reached Henry. Marching through the dark forest, scarlett can hear the hushed whispers of lost boys hiding and waiting for the coast to be clear of her war path, but she didn't want them, she had her mind set on one boy... Henry... her mind began to race with the possibilities of what she could do with him ones she gets her hands on the little brat

'I cant kill him, no Peter needs him, with the boy peter can save us, no I cant kill him... oh!  But a man with no hands can still be alive but learnt his lesson. yes noting wrong with a little maiming, the brat deserves it, trying to hurt my peter like that'

The girl let out a shrill laugh as she thought of this, yes! It was perfect, she gets her revenge and the boy is still alive to save her and peter, its perfect! Now coming up to a large bundle of trees with overgrown uprooted roots winding and twisting in ways that create a labyrinth with what seems like no escape, the all too familiar Cheshire cat grin spreads across her face now poising herself to clamber through the oddly shaped holes she notices a silhouette not to far into the distorted maze of roots , its him , its Henry "Bingo" she sang quietly and she crouched down low to avoid being detected like a lion preparing to pounce on its unsuspecting pray. manoeuvring herself through the twists and turns of the uprooted maze before her. Coming up to the more distinct figure of the young boy the girls moves became more stealthy and more calculated.

slightly ahead the young Henry flinched and jumped a mile high at every noise that echoed through the deserted maze he had so carelessly gotten himself trapped in. With no obvious route of escape the boy kept clambering haphazardly over spiralled roots and jagged branches, which in his mind were set up by Pan to entrap him until Scarlet finally tracked him down. Little did he know the latter would arrive sooner than he had anticipated...

Creeping closer and closer ducking under low hanging branches and upturned roots Scarlett strategically manoeuvred her way closer and closer still to her young prey until she was close enough to see the fear in his eyes, the panic in his uneven breaths and the haste in his stumbling steps. This brought a sinister smirk to the girls face as she slowly began to rise from her crouched position preparing to pounce on the poor unsuspecting target, the Adrenalin was rushing through both of their veins for two polar opposite reasons. Scarlett could now hear her heart thumping in her ears and the sound consumed her as she rose to her full height so consumed in the thrill of the chase she fails to notice Peter emerge from the shadows beside her.

Frozen is amazement and shock Peter does nothing but stand bewildered at the girl in front of him, never having seen her react this way before, knowing his lost girl was powerful with or without magic worried him slightly as he watched her begging to advance towards Henry... sparing no thought Peter reached out and grasped onto the wild girl by her shoulders and clamped her body into his side and held her in an iron grip. Anyone watching this interaction would have missed this is they were to blink even the slightest, Peters fast reflexes rendered Scarlett motionless in a mere second. Realising what happened Scarlett gases up towards her tall captor, who merely offered a tight lipped smile back, heart still beating loud in her ears the wild lost girl struggled against the vice like grip Peter held her with. Bringing his mouth down to her ear he whispered lowly "I know you want to but we can't afford any slip ups you know that so please calm down the Forrest will scare him enough for us" there was an underlying tone of pleading in his tone something that Scarlett had never heard before, disappointed and confused she let out a sigh and with a roll of her eyes slumped back into Peters hold nodding her head as she did so.

Observing her compliance Peter related the tight hold he had on the girl and settled his arm sling around her shoulders, his hand coming up to ruffle her already messy hair. Grabbing is hand in mid air Scarlett spin out of his hold and stood face to face with her oldest friend "I'm not happy about this, if I can't hurt him what can I do?" She hissed inching closer to the demon boys face with each word narrowing her eyes into slits among the clouded anger and excitement that filled Scarlett's eyes there was something else's hidden under the surface some hidden pain she was trying to subdue before the tears brimmed her eyes and she showed emotion in front of any of the boys.

"We'll talk about this back at camp okay... let the island have its fun with our guest it'll deliver him back and by then we'll have come to a decision" was the declaration the seething girl received from her respective co-leader, so begrudgingly with another hough Scarlet began to stalk back to camp hand firmly clasped in Peters dragging him along behind her like a lost puppy all the way back to camp.
