Tigerlily

Chapter 21

Peter held my hand leading me through the woods until we came upon a village.

My village.

The land scenery was beautiful that would provide for my people and I. I saw little Indian children running around playing with each other as the adults talked in groups around the tents.

Peter and I stood at a distance where they couldn't see us. I smiled as a few tears streamed down my cheeks knowing that I had my tribe back. My life was about to take a new step...a new step with...

" You can go now. " , Peter said snapping me back to reality

I turned around still holding hands with him and looked at him in this green mysterious eyes.

" But...aren't you coming with me? " , I asked him

" I'm not Tiger. " , he said " A hunter has to release the tiger alone. "

" Please Peter...my tribe are very forgiving. Maybe we can have a celebration in honor of you freeing us! " , I suggested

" It doesn't work that way love. I just freed you, so go with your people. " , he said softly

I looked down and looked back at my people and the beautiful view. If this is what I wanted, then why does it feel like I'm missing something...or someone.

Peter turned my chin towards him as he placed his hand on my cheek wiping away my fallen tears. He came closer to me as he pulled me to a hug.

" I enjoyed having you around Tiger. Not just because you were my prisoner, but because you were my everything. " , Peter said softly

" I...I didn't want this to end...I mean us to end. " , I said shuttering on my words.

" There there Tiger. " , Peter said as he kissed my forehead. " I thought you would want to go. "

" I do, but I want you to come along. " , I said softly as I buried my face in his chest.

Peter sighed knowing that I wouldn't go without him. I don't know whay came over me, but I didn't want to say goodbye to him.

Somehow I felt comfort in him.

Not to mention, he is a great hugger.

" Hush little Tiger don't you cry. It's me Peter by your side, Don't be afraid to leave me behind. I will just be fine. If you ever need me, you know where to find me. Little Tiger be strong for me and just go wild and be free. " , Peter sang to me softly

I released myself from the hug as he smiled at me.

" Better? " , he asked

" Yes. " , I giggled " Thank you. "

" No problem Tiger. " , Peter said

" Good bye Peter. " , I said

" Good bye Tiger. " , he said " Oh wait one more thing. "

I gave him a confused look as he grabbed my waist and leaned in closer as our lips touched as he kissed me passionately. I was so surprised but glad that he made the first move. I wish it lasted forever, but then we broke away as he whispered into my ear:

" I love you Tiger. "

He slowly let go of my hand as he walked into the woods disappearing out of sight leaving me standing there without any answers about our mysterious love connection.

It was my first kiss and I was glad that it was with Peter Pan.

Then I slowly walked back to my village only to be greeted by my people as my father hugged me with a smile on his face.

" I knew that you could be brave Tigerlilly. " , he said to me

" Thanks for believing in me father. " , I said as I smiled at him.
