Escaping from his grip

Chapter 22

We lay in a room next to the captains quarter, which probably means Anna is Harry's first mate. I've been awake for most of the night so far. 'Hey Anna?' I whisper to which I only get a tired grunt as respond. 'Why do you guys want the pixie dust so bad?' I ask. Anna rolls on her back 'as far as I know everyone on this ship wants to live for as long as possible, but Pan won't let us stay in Neverland. Harry's tried like 5 times to negotiate with Pan, twice in the two years that I've been here but they never come to an agreement' she pauses. 'So why the pixie dust?' I ask again 'The pixie dust will allow us to cross realms so we can get out of here and it will help us find the fountain of youth' she continues. 'The fountain of youth? How do you even know that's real?' I respond confused 'We've actually found some pretty convincing clues in the past few months. We know where the stuff we need to get into the chamber is' she adds and rolls back to her side. 'Wow... Sounds like quite the adventure' I say and slowly fall asleep.

After I was woken up by Harry, I put my pants and boots on and walked onto the deck. Harry was leaning against a mast waiting for me, when he sees me he pushes himself off the mast and walks towards me. 'So what's the plan?' Harry asks, his voice was still a little bit hoarse which made his voice even sexier. I stretch my arms and respond with 'Well if there's one thing I've learned, it's that Pan is really unpredictable. I guess I just have to go in, get caught and somehow win his trust back' I look toward the misty jungle and remember the beast-like looks on the faces of the lost boys when they almost caught me. 'You say it like it's nothing, yet you look worried' Harry says as he tilts his head a bit to look at me. 'Like I said, Pan's unpredictable. Anything could happen' I reply while walking to the railing and leaning my elbows on it. Harry follows silently and places his hand on my back 'What about this' he says 'If you're not back by sundown tomorrow, we attack the camp to come get you'. I nod in agreement 'That's a good idea, I should probably get going then' I push myself off the railing and walk towards the rope ladder that hangs off the side of the boat. Harry wishes me luck on my way down and I calmly walk into the forest. I have no clue where I'm going and how I'm planning to get caught without getting killed, but I promised Harry and I'm actually starting to like him. Besides he's probably the only one that can get me home without Pan's permission. Also that fountain does sound pretty interesting, maybe I should... My thoughts are interrupted by a laugh behind me. I turn around and see a figure leaning against a tree. For a moment I was scared it was Pan but when the figure stepped a bit closer I could see it was Felix, which isn't much better really. 'Got tired of running?' he asks with a smirk plastered on his face. I stayed quiet, I hadn't quite prepared a lie yet. 'I see you met captain Hooks annoying son' Felix continues 'Yeah, charming guy. Almost just as charming as Pan' I say while rolling my eyes. Felix laughs 'Don't like him, huh?' I chuckle 'Not really, he's absolutely out of his mind' 'True' Felix says and we both laugh. Strangely enough I felt like we actually shared a nice moment there, but that soon changed when Felix spoke again. 'This is all nice and well, but I have my orders' he says and slowly stalks towards me causing my heartbeat to raise. He stopped a few inches away from me 'You're coming with me' his dangerously low voice sent shivers down my spine. 'Move' he ordered and pointed to a path that probably lead to Pan's camp.

When we arrived at the camp I received all kinds of death stares from the boys. I slowed down out of fear causing Felix to bump into me a little. 'Don't worry' he said and placed a hand on my back 'They're not allowed to touch you' the words he said were reassuring but his voice still had a dark tone. With every step towards Pan's tent, I grow more and more nervous. By the time we're enter my breath is incredibly fast and uneven, I felt pure fear running through my body as I saw Pan standing in front of me. His back was facing me and I waited anxiously for him to turn around. I felt the wind from the tent entrance as Felix walked out. How in the world am I going to do this? I thought, I had to come up with something fast. I looked down at the ground searching my brain for any kind of lie of plan. Then suddenly Pan turns around...
