Peter's Favorite- a OUAT fanfic

Chapter Eighteen: The Prisoners

We kept the party going again so Henry wouldn't notice that anything had happened. He started dancing with the party, and everything was going according to plan.

I tasked myself with watching Neal and Wendy. I thought it was kind of funny, actually, that Wendy was on the island. I wondered if she was as annoying as she was in the movie.

The two cages were hanging from a tree. I sat on top of Neal's cage. After a while, I was lying down and watching the stars peek through the leaves. In a few hours the cage started rattling as Neal woke up. He didn't say anything for a bit, and neither did Wendy. Finally, he sighed.

"So, what's your plan?" he asked from underneath me.

I snorted. "As if I'd tell you."

"Come oooon," he pried. "I can't do anything from here, why not tell me?."

I sighed. "The plan is we are going to win and you won't, and that's all you need to know. The details aren't important."

He sighed. "What can I do from inside this cage, anyway?"

"Oh. My. God. What do you think?"

I awaited his answer. Finally he opened his mouth. "Nothing?"

I kicked his cage. "Is it even possible for you to open your mouth without asking dumb questions?"

I heard him breath in as though he was about to speak and flew up before he could say something stupid again. Sometimes theres nothing I love more than flying through the branches and leaves to the top of a tree.

I reached the top and sat. The stars looked so bright, brighter than they ever did in New Jersey. I smiled. I knew I was home.

Hearing someone walking, I fell back through the branches to the ground. Felix approached with two boys behind him.

"Pan wants us to... relocate Neal," He smiled. I heard Neal sigh from his cage.

"Shut it!" I shouted up to him. Facing Felix, I rolled my eyes. "He's driving me crazy. Please- take him away."

Felix chuckled as his boys run to the ropes that held his cage up. They unraveled it from a root poking out of the ground.

"Wait-" Neal said, beginning to panic. "Where are you taking me?"

The two lowered to cage to the ground and picked it up with a bit of difficulty.

"We'll take it from here," Felix said. "You can go back to the camp."

I smiled.

"Please, tell me where you're taking me!" Neal shouted from behind. I began walking down the path. "Girl!" He shouted at me. I didn't stop.

"How does it feel to know you're working for the bad guy?"

I stopped walking only for a second. He's just going crazy, I thought. I kept walking.

~~~

I got back to the camp. Peter saw me and smiled, running towards me. "Oh, Tiger- it's about to get so fun!" I saw the look in his eyes that meant he had a plan.

"What is it?" I asked, excited. "Whats next?"

"Oh, we'll get Wendy down, and-" he stopped and flinched.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh it's nothing- someone just left the island. It's nothing to worry about, just tell Felix to speak to me, and we'll discuss the plan later."

I nodded. "I'll see you, then."

~~~

After learning the plan, I was tasked with taking Wendy to a treehouse, somewhere on the other side of the island. I had taken her out of her cage and walked her- i figured she wouldn't fight back too much.

She was mostly silent until we were close. "Where are you taking me?" She finally said. "Am I going to get to leave?"

"No."

She sighed. "Why are you doing this?" Her voice sounded like she was constantly on the verge of tears.

"Because we have to. Up," I ordered. She obeyed and climbed the ladder as I followed.

"But, that little boy- he'll-"

"He'll what?" I shouted. "I don't care! I have to save my home, my family. I don't care what this goddamn price is and i'm tired of prisoners asking these dumb questions so just shut the hell up!"

She looked at her feet and said nothing.

"Get in the bed and look sicker or I swear-"

"Tiger Lily!" Peter called. I turned around and ran to him. "Bad day?" I wrapped my arms around him. "Go easy on her, she's important," he chuckled. "You should go back to the camp and rest- I'll be a little while."
