~~~~~Anna’s POV~~~~~~

It’s been three days since I left the camp. Peter could have Wendy if her really wanted her, he couldn’t drag me in with them. I made my own campsite with a fire pit and made my own tree house on a sturdy oak tree. The lost boys didn’t come after me or they just didn’t find me yet. Either way I was finally happy and free. But being the only one made me feel alone, but wasn’t I use to being alone. When father left I stayed at the cottage by myself for years, stealing food and money to keep me going. That’s how I met John, trying to steal from a fruit cart. I shook the memory away and went back to sharpening my stick. I needed to go hunting no matter if I ran into the lost boys or not, I was starving.

                I was stocking a deer for a while now and it stopped near the river, perfect. I got ready to throw my spear at the large doe. I stopped when the deer heard a stick crack and ran off, shit. I looked to see what drove the deer off. I was so pissed I almost felt steam pour out of my ears I turned with my spear still raised. I looked and saw Felix leaning against a tree and smirking at me his eyes lighting up my heart. I lowered my spear “You just chased off my dinner” I snarled at him.

“Sorry I just wanted to talk to you” he raised in his hands in surrender.

“What do you want?”

“I want you to come back to camp with me. We all miss you so much, especially me and pan.”

“I will not go back to that bastard”

“Well this is a warning. If you don’t come back now you will be a prisoner and locked up.”

“That’s a whole lot different than what I was only days ago” I said to him sarcastically.

“If you come back now I will make sure you won’t be treated like that again.”

“I don’t know Felix… seeing pan will hurt me so much.” I looked down at the grass surrounding my boots.

“Don’t do it for him do it for me. I love you like a sister Anna and I miss you so much.” I looked up to him in eyes and I could see the hurt he felt. He looked like me when my father left me, I was heartbroken.

“Fine, but can I sleep in your tent until I get settled in.” His eyes lit up like a child’s and he grabbed my hand leading to me to my treehouse.

“I don’t mind. I will have my sister back.”

                We were at the camp for about a couple hours and I still felt awkward with the lost boys. They all were so happy when I came back with Felix and started begging me to play with them. We played man hunt, tag, hide and seek, and the knife game. I was so tired afterword and sat on the log near the fire. Peter, ugh screw it, Pan was with Wendy doing hell knows what. It made me mad not in the jealousy way but that he used me and probably Wendy too. Felix came up and sat next to me I really didn’t want to talk so I put my head on his shoulder, well should I say I tried he was so much taller than me.

“Thank you for everything. Making sure I was ok and bringing me back.”

“Like I said you’re like a sister to me” I looked into his eyes and smiled. When I looked back to the forest I saw some bushes moving, Peter stepped out smiling but not at me. I looked a little closer to what he was smiling at that’s when the bushes moved again and she stepped out, Wendy.
