Peter's POV

I motioned for Destiny to follow me and soon we heard a scream coming from the camp. We rushed through the thick woods as we entered my camp seeing one boy, Nibs, pointing a sword towards another boy, Slighty as the rest of the boys gather around.
" Don't you ever take my food again. " , said Nibs
" Maybe you shouldn't leave it alone then. " , said Slighty.
" One more word and I will hurt you again. " , said Nibs.
I saw Slighty and his arm had some cuts, but he seemed to overcome it.
" One more word from either of you and both of you will regret it. " , I said
" Peter? You're back! " , said Nibs.
I gave him a glare as I walked towards him and grabbed the sword as I saw Slighty helped himself up. The boys gathered around me as I stood on top if a log.
" Aye laids I didn't want to ruin the fun, but when I let you go on your own don't make me regret it. " , I said as I looked at Nibs.  " Now go to bed. It's getting late. "
The lost boys nodded and everyone started to clean their stuff. I saw Destiny as she started to smile.
" Good job captain. " , she said playfully.
I shook my head and gave her a smirk. Pretty soon, Toddles , the youngest one in our group, walked up to me as he pulled on Destiny's shirt.
" Destiny? Could you tell us a story. It would help me fall alsleep. " , he said.
Destiny came down to his size and smiled.
" Of course I can, but only if Peter Pan allows it. " , she said giving me her perky smirk.
" Fine. " , I said.
Toddles jumped with excitement and hugged me with his little arms. He whistled calling in the rest of the lost boys as they gathered around Destiny as she sat on a log. I sat in the back as I started to sharpen my dagger.

Destiny's POV
The lost boys all gathered around me while Peter stayed in the back. I started to think of a good story and then it came to me.
" Alright. The story is called ' Beauty and the Beast ' . Once there was a beautiful girl name Belle. She was loved by all of the boys in her village, but she would rather read books of stories of all kinds instead of being the lover type. Her father was a noble man who loved his daughter very much, so he went on a journey to find Belle's favorite flower: a red rose. He went through the deep, dark forest and found himself in a garden full of red roses. He was amazed at its beauty and decided to pick one out. Until he heard a growl from behind...." , I said as I stood on top of the log and got into charcter. " The beast was about to kill the man for trespassing through his garden but soon heard the cries of the man. He then made a deal that he would let him go, but only if he brought his daughter, Belle, whom he had heard was very beautiful. The man nodded and quickly ran back home to tell the news to Belle. Belle then sat with her miserable father and tried to talk to him about it being okay. She had heard of the terrible beast, but she wasn't afraid, for she always thought that the outside and the inside of every creature. " , said I.
" Did she go with the beast? " , asked Slighty
" What did the beast want with her? " , asked Nibs
" Is she going to be okay? " , asked Toddles
I laughed and smiled as questions were being asked.
" Well I'm afraid that's all for tonight boys. Let's get to bed. I will tell you more later on. " , I said.
The boys jumped with excitement and everyone went to their tent and soon every lamp was off. I smiled as I walked near the fireplace and threw the fire out leaving nothing but ashes.
" That was some story. " , said Peter as he put his sharpen dagger away.
" Well I guess we will see what would happen tomorrow. " , I said.
" Well the boys seemed to like you. Especially the little ones. " , said Peter, " I guess you are like a mother figure to them. "
" I guess so. " , I replied.
" Well you look tired, so let's go to bed. You can stay in my place. " , said Peter.
I nodded my head as Peter led me to his place. More like a treehouse apparently. I looked to see windows carved and an acual bed. Peter then came by and closed the door as he took off his shirt revealing his abbs. I tried not to look. I just decided to sleep with my nightgown on as I saw Peter put a bed sheet on the floor and a pillow.
" Here you can sleep here. " , said Peter
I gave him a glare. Sleep on the floor? Eh I had worse I thought to myself. I then nodded and walked my way to my bed. Peter then climbed into his two pillowed bed. The night fell through and I couldn't sleep that fast. The night chills were coming in the window and I could hear wolves howling. I was slivering from head to toe. I stood up as I saw Peter snuggled in his warm bed.
" Peter? Peter? " , I said
" What? " , he replied
" It's cold on the floor. Could I sleep here with you for the night please? " , I asked
He looked at me with his tired brown eyes and motioned for me to come. I climbed into his bed and snuggled against his warm chest. He then placed his arms around me holding me.
" Thank you Peter. " , I whispered
" Yeah sure whatever. " , he replied
Soon I began to doze off and my dreams began to form as I fell asleep.
