As we trudged back to camp I had a hope that Peter really was trying to change. That soon everything would go back to how it was years ago.

"Almost there," he assured me.

"Okay."

We came to a darker part of the forest and Peter pulled back some bushes so there was a clear path to camp. I could see the lost boys dancing around a bonfire.

"Boys!"
They all stopped and looked.
"This is Mckayla, she will be staying here as one of us NOT a prisoner, my wish is that you treat her equally." Then turning to me he said, "Come you can rest in my tree house."
I followed him as he went up a tree and across a bridge to his tree house. Inside was a bed, desk, bookshelf, and bathroom. Not what I expected for a home in Neverland. When I last came here, they lived underground. The lost boys have changed their whole lifestyle. Good to bad, underground to tree houses. What next.

"Got tired of living underground?" I wondered in a joking tone.

"Something like that," he replied but I could tell he was holding something back. What exactly, I didn't know, "uh, here's my bed, I don't really use it. Make yourself comfortable. There's food downstairs."

"Thanks."

"Yeah."
