Not Yours (Peter Pan fan fiction)

Chapter 3

I awoke in a bed with someone sitting next to me in a chair. “You’re awake!” a tan lost boy with curly brown hair and brown eyes exclaimed. “Where am I?” I asked trying to sit up. “Take it easy! I’m Luke and we’re in your hut. Pan told me to watch after you for when you woke up.” Luke responded caringly. My entire body felt hot from the sun burns, I hissed at the pain as I laid back down. “Let me put this on you, it'll help cool your burns.” Luke said picking up a jar of green goo. “It's aloe. Trust me this stuff works like a charm.” He smirked at me and applied it to my face first. The burning heat was instantly gone from my face and the comforting coolness of the aloe replaced it. “You're brave for standing up to Pan. But don't push it he can get really creative with torture. It might be worse for you since you're a girl and the fact that he likes you.” Luke warned. “If he liked me he wouldn't be torturing me. He would have been as sweet as he was when I met him.” I scoffed. “Trust me he likes you. Probably because you rise against him and give him an excuse to torture you. It's all a game to him. He gets a kick out of the challenge. He would have ripped your shadow out if he didn't like you.” He continued, applying the cool aloe from my arms to my legs. “I hate him.” I replied coldly. “I have to let him know you're awake. He'll probably come to talk to you so try not to fight him, it'll give him an excuse to torture you more.” Luke told me. “You don't have to tell him, let me leave so I can figure out a way off this island.” I sat up quickly to stop him. “There is no way off. Only one lost boy has ever escaped and nobody knows how. That was years or maybe even centuries ago. It's hard to tell in a place where time doesn't exist. Besides it's my orders I'll get in big trouble.” Luke told me. “So? Come with me we can start a new life once we get off the island.” I persuaded. “I can't, other lost boys have tried to escape since Bae did and it didn't end well.” Luke spoke softly, looking down. “I'm sorry Skyler. I have to get him.” He apologized. He walked to the window cupping in mouth oddly and making a noise to call the devil. Pan appeared instantly beside my table. “Thank you Luke, go join the other boys for training now.” Pan commanded. Luke gave me a worried look before obeying Pan.

“You should eat, here's some eggs in a basket. They're quite delicious.” Pan tried nicely, I wasn't going to fall for any of his tricks. I remained quiet and under my covers. “What? Now you're not speaking to me?”  Pan asked. “I'm not hungry.” I replied. “You haven't eaten in three days. You're going to starve, now eat and drink some water. You passed out from dehydration and exhaustion your body needs energy.” He stated, sitting next to me with the tray and put a hand on my knee. I scooted away against the wall. “Don't touch me.” I growled remembering how he talking about raping me. “Skyler, what did you mean by raped again? You've been raped before?” Pan asked curiously. I could almost see sincerity in his green eyes. I just looked away. “By whom?” He continued on. “Why do you care? You chained me up and left me chained outside to get sunburned and bit by bugs. Then even threatened to rape me yourself!” I said, with fire in my voice. “I wasn't actually going to do it Skyler. I would never rape you. It was all just talk to try to get a reaction out of you. I didn't think you'd react in that way. You surprise me.” He informed me. I was furious by this by him and by this place. I couldn't hold back the tears of anger but the last thing I wanted to do was cry in front of HIM. “You're so horrible Pan! You've done nothing but cage me, chain me up, and threaten to rape me. After you walked in on my mother beating me with a whip then throwing salt on my lashes! It was the 21 century in a town a little ways from London who even does that anymore? She would have men pay her so they could rape me. We had no neighbors so I couldn't get help at all. Then you show up and I think I've finally been saved only to be tortured more!” I sobbed. “I had no idea Skyler. I mean I knew about the lashings I healed them but not about her using you in that way. How long had she been doing that for? Where was your dad?” He asked. “Dead, from a heart attack. And she had the men come after my father had died at the age of ten. I'm seventeen now Pan.” I slowly looked up at him to see anger in his eyes. “Eat, and drink lots of water.” He commanded before setting the tray down and leaving. I was shocked and scared at his anger. I decided to obey him this time mainly because I was starving. But also because he found amusement out of torturing me, who knew what he would do out of pure anger.
