Neverland's Captive - Ouat Peter Pan

Chapter 6 - Bows and Arrows

I was woken up by a sudden loud crash of the tree house door opening and a smirk malicious voice saying something.

"Wake up", a voice commands.

I groan as rub my head. I then look over and realise the voice was Pan, I had hoped that the events of yesterday were just me going insane but apparently not.

"Catch", he says throwing an apple onto my bed. I'm guessing this is my breakfast but what if it's poisoned or drugged or something. I gave him a curious look.

He rolls his eyes at my suspicion. "If I was planning on doing something I would probably use my magic, not a piece of fruit", he slyly remarks.

I guess that makes sense, I still don't trust him though. But my hunger is getting to me, so I bite into the apple and it actually tastes really good.

"It's training time", he smirks.

"What training?", I asked.

"I wanna see what you are capable of", he explained.

"You mean like using weapons, for what?", I questioned.

"To protect yourself", he stated.

"What from you?", I said sarcastically.

He gave me a menising chuckle in response, neither denying it or confirming it. "From enemies of course", he said like it was obvious.

"Enemies?", I asked, I mean there's not a lot of people on this island.

"As you can imagine, I'm not the most well behaved boy and over the years I've acquired many enemies", he smirked, as if he was proud.

"My lost boys need to know how to protect themselves", he explained.

"I know what your about, you make them do it so they can do your dirty work for you, and I'm-", I began saying but before I could finish a cloud of smoke surrounded me and then I appeared in a part of the forest with Pan.

"What the hell!", I shouted

"Oh did I forget to mention". He paused. "You don't have a choice", he replied smugly, once again.

I semi rolled my eyes at him and groaned, in response. He then threw a bow at me and then the arrows.

"Get started on this first", he said.

"But I've never used a bow and arrow before", I explained.

"I'll teach you", he replied.

"I don't thin-", I started to say but stopped as the bow and arrow was placed in my hands by pans magic.

And then in a another split second he was behind me holding the bow in place for me to shoot.

"Do you ever let me finish my sentence or do you just love deciding things on my behalf", I asked in annoyance, although I was fairly sure I knew the answer.

"You're just so whiny", he said sarcastically, smirking at me. But ignored him.

"This is how you do it", he explained as he placing the bow and arrow in the right place, heading towards a target on a tree. He then started to walk to the side as I was ready to take my shot.

"Just believe in yourself. Go on, do it", he said encouraging me.

I was about to shoot where he told me to but I thought I have the power to shoot him right now. I know it's a risk but it's worth taking. So instead, I swiftly took my bow and arrow, pointed it at Pan and shot.

To my utter shook and surprise he caught the arrow right before it went into his chest. I was speechless but then again he did have magic so what was I expecting.

He stared at me, just smirked and giggled slightly. What? I just tried to kill him, why is he not angry?

"Got to say I didn't think you had it in you", he said chuckling still.

"Wha...", I started to question but then I realised. "You knew I was going to do that".

"I had my suspicions", he paused as he started circling me. "I wanted to see if you had it in you. Got to say, I'm not disappointed", he stated as he smirked at me. 

"It was a test?", I ask.

"I've never shot a bow and arrow before so how did I target your heart ", I asked in confusion. I wasn't lying, I had never used one yet I was perfectly on target to kill him.

"I guess your passion to kill me fuels you", he said and chuckled, raising his eyebrows.

"But I've never used a bow and arrow before I don't get how I could be any good, it doesn't make any sense", I said, I know I'm dragging this on but it's like I knew deep down how to shoot it but that didn't make sense.

"Maybe you were Robin Hood in another life", he joked, sarcastically.

"Or his sister", I joked in response.

Suddenly, a boy came into the clearing. His features were covered by the large hood from his clock, which was partially covering his face. However, I could tell that he was a tall, blonde haired boy with a large scar on his face. He also carried a wooden mace on his shoulders. He walked into the clearing with me and Pan.

"The boys are ready on your command", the boy stated.

"Ok I'll come soon", he said as the boy walked out of the clearing again.

"Who's that?", I questioned.

"That's Felix. He's my right hand man and my second in command", he announced.

"Didn't know you even had one", I replied. He started to walk towards me, brushing off my comment.

"Cmon, we have to meet the boys, this isn't the only training", he paused.

"Let's see what you can really do", he declared. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion but before I could ask a puff of smoke appeared around us.
