Neverland's Captive - Ouat Peter Pan

Chapter 40 - Hunting

The moment I wake up, I already know that I'm back in the treehouse before I even open my eyes. Straight away, I realise that my head isn't hurting anymore, I guess Pan must of healed me but I'm not sure why.

I suddenly realise that I am not in the same clothes as before. Before now, I was in the dress that Jack gave to me for my birthday and now I was in the clothes I wore when I was in Neverland before.

As soon as I get up from my lying position, I place myself off of the bed and immediately notice that the room is not in the state I left it in. The last time I was here I completely trashed the place and now it was back to normal like nothing happened.

I'm honestly surprised that Pan isn't here already gloating and being his smug self, I suppose he doesn't know I'm awake yet or he's letting me cool off, who knows.

I'm not even going to bother to try and open the door, I know it's going to be locked and I won't be able to anyway.

But I take the opportunity to wonder around the room, since I know I'm not getting out of here anytime soon and I feel like I need something to distract myself with as I try to forgot the previous events that occoured before I was knocked out.

When I reach the other side of the room, I come across some drawers. I know that they've always been in here but I've never actually looked inside them.

When I do, they're are a bunch of random items scattered inside. One item I notice especially, is the edge of a parchment in the corner.

I ruffle my hand inside and pull it out as it is slightly hidden at the back of the draw.As soon as I pull it out, I look down at it and see that there is writing covering it and start to read it.

'Thomas,

I know that you will probably never read this but it has to be said somewhere as I am not sure I will be able to give you this message in real life. I just want to tell you I'm so sorry for ignoring your warnings. I truly believed that Pan wasn't as bad as he first appears to be, but I was wrong. He showed his true colours to me and I fear the worst for what he is going to do now that I'm against him. You may not forgive me for lashing out on you but hopefully one day you will read this and understand that I now know that I should have listened to you in the first place. If I never see you again, I want you to know I've always loved you.

Amelia'

I immediately recognise the name and the context of the letter. This is the girl that Thomas told me about in the lagoon. He was in love with her but Pan killed her.

Thomas was convinced she had fully fallen for his tricks but it turns out she realised the monster he really was before she died.

Thomas died thinking she was completed manipulated fooled by him but she wasn't. She even said that she loved him back as well.

And the worst part was, he never even knew that. She never got the opportunity to tell him and now that I know also, I can't either.

"I hope you're not trying to destroy this place again", Pan suddenly says and I jump out of my skin, turning around, shutting the draw and shoving the parchment in my pocket but I don't answer him. 

"You've been on quite the adventure since you got here haven't you?", he smirks, walking towards me.

"Stay away from me", I demand, backing away from him.

"I thought you said you weren't scared of me", he chuckles.

"I'm not but that's doesn't mean I like being around you", I spit back. It wasn't about that though, it was about the letter I found. It reminded me about how cruel Pan was, as if I didn't already know.
