Tigerlily

Chapter 6

" Y-Y-You are Pan? " , I questioned him

" So surprised? " , he asked

" I didn't expect you to be a teenage boy. " , I stated

" Does...Peter Pan ring a bell? " , he asked me while circling me

" Wait a minute...you're Peter Pan? That's impossible? I thought you were only seen in dreams. " , I said

" And I thought Indians lived else where...not in Neverland. " , he mumbled

" Our old land crumbled and fell, so we had to find a new land called Neverland where our ancestors told us to go for generations until my father decided to make the choice because it was the best for my people and me. " , I explained to him

" So your father decided to trespass my island anyway? " , he asked

" It was for his people's best chance. " , I answered him

" Best chance? Well that didn't go well now didn't? " , he sneered " You crossed the stream and trespassed in my woods. "

" You said it was a test! " , I argued

" Yeah...it was a test...but you failed. " , he sneered

" Why test me? " , I snapped
" Because I...I wanted to see who I was up against. " , he said as he walked closer to me " And I must do say...I'm not impressed. "

" Okay listen here Peter Pan, I- " , I started until I felt a dagger against my throat

" Call me Peter one more time and I have no hesitation to make you suffer princess. " , he gritted through his teeth

" Well I'm guessing that you don't want to be called that. " , I guessed

" And you better don't. " he sneered

" Are you threatening me? " , I asked him

" Are you questioning me? " , he asked me

" Hey I asked you, Peter. " , I snapped

" What did you say? " , he asked with anger in his voice

" I asked you a question first. " , I snarled at him

" Did you just call me... " , he started

" Peter? " , I finished for him with a smirk on my face

" You didn't. " , he gritted his teeth

" Try me. " , I challenged him

" Are you really going to start this while you are still tied to a tree? " , he teased me

I looked down and still realized that I was tied to the tree.

" I'm not making a good impression on you...am I? " , I asked

A smirk came from his face as his face got close to mine.

" Not at all. " , he sneered
" Could you please untie me? " , I asked nicely

" And why should I? " , he huffed

" Because the ropes are hurting my wrist. " , I winced " Pretty please Pan. "

Pan gave me a look with an eyebrow raised like he was thinking.

" It hurts. " , I cried

" Okay, okay, okay I will untie you. " , he said as he leaned in closer to me and untied the ropes from the tree and once he did he stepped back as I rubbed my wrists together.

" Are you okay? " , he asked me

" Oh yeah I'm fine. " , I said as I walked up towards Pan as he leaned against a tree. " But I'm just not satisfied yet. "

" And what else do you want? " , he huffed

" Well I want you to remember something. " , I smiled before I grabbed his arms together and kicked him towards the tree. " Don't mess with a princess that knows a thing or two about defending herself. "

And then I ran very fast through the dark woods as I heard my called being called

" Tiger! You will regret that! " , Pan shouted

" I don't regret it . " , I hollered back as I made my way through different paths and soon reached upon the stream.

The cold, crisp stream flowed down its path to its destination elsewhere. I stepped lighty on the stones when I finally reached the land of my village. Everybody came running to me as I was surrounded by my people giving me hugs all around as my father came in and hugged me close to him.

" Where have you been my princess? " , my father asked me

" Oh father it doesn't matter where I have been. I'm safe now. " , I said

" Hm, aren't you always up to no good. " , he chuckled

" Oh father, you know how I am. " , I said

" Just like your mother. " , he said quietly " Now let's go to sleep my princess. "

" Okay father. Goodnight. " , I said as I walked back to my tent.

" Goodnight. " , he hollered back

I went back to my cozy tent where everything was just where I wanted it to be. I held on to my feather ring necklace and closed my eyes wishing everyday that my mother would always be with me. I said my prayers and then layed on my soft animal skin bed as slept peacefully with the moonlight peeking into my tent.

( Few Hours Later )

" Tigerlily! Tigerlily! Wake up! Wake up! " , someone said to me

I woke up with a yawn realizing that it was still late at night.

" What's going on? " , I asked with hesitation

" Come with me. " , a friend of my father's said as he led me out of my tent and into the center of the of our village.

My people stood among their tents and everybody looked at me with their worried eyes. I looked at them and walked up towards my father and stood next to him and then I saw him.

Pan stood in the front with that boy Felix by his side as all of the boys surrounded my people. Pan's dark green eyes narrowed down at me and a smirk appeared on his face.
