Tigerlily

Chapter 19

I slowly walk back to camp only to find myself where Pan was waiting for me leaning against a tree with his arms crossed.

You know you have that moment where you can't do anything in a situation, where you feel like there is nothing you can do...yep that's how I feel.

It was like Peter, the hunter, was getting ready to tame me, the tiger, and I didn't feel like rebelling because I knew that I had to behave.

" Tiger, come here. " , Peter ordered me

I took a few steps forward with my hand around my back and my eyes on the ground.

" Look at me. " , he commanded

I looked up only to see those mysterious green eyes.

" Is it true? " , he asked " That you would go to war against me. "

" Yes. " , I replied softly

" Why? " , Peter asked sternly

" Because you treat my people terrible. " , I responded

" You went to the other camp. Didn't you? " , Peter asked

" Yes. " , I mumbled

Peter took a couple of deep breathes as he walked over to me and touched my shoulder with his hand, but I quickly took a step back.

" Tiger, I'm not going to hurt you. " , Peter said

" You already did. " , I said softly as I felt tears streaming down my cheek

" How? " , he asked reaching out for me, but I stepped back again

" My people are treated bad and forced to work, while I'm over here living a good prisoner life. " , I said

" Tiger...I..." , Peter shuttered

" No! If I'm going to be treated prisoner then I want to be with my tribe and not here! " , I said frustrated

" I don't want you over there. I want you here. " , Peter said

" Well maybe I don't like being here. " , I spoke up " You and Wendy can live a happy life
together over here and I'm going with my tribe doing your dirty work, because you are just too stubborn to realize that my tribe has sacrificed everything to settle into this land and that we wanted to make peace with you, but no! Instead you wanted to threaten us and burn our village. I don't want to here anymore. "

I don't know what has become of me. I couldn't explain the words that just had come out of my mouth, because it was all true. Peter's eyes widened and then he looked down because he knew it was the truth.

" I'm going to leave now. " , I said as I turned my back on him and walked away.

Somehow, I found the treehouse and climbed up the ladder as I went inside and curled up into the bed allowing my thoughts to float around me as I fell asleep.

A/N: Okay don't hate me. Later on, it will start to get romantic and stuff. Just gotta have that moment that brings it all together! #TigerPan
