I slowly sat up from the ground and look around camp to see that everyone was asleep. I got up and headed into the woods. I reached for the golden whistle and blew into it. It's sound carried out throughout the forest and I felt a gust come over to me.
"Hello, love." That smug voice greeted. I turned my head to see Pan leaning against a tree. "I was in the area."
"I bet you were." I gritted my teeth together. I placed my hands on my hips. "I'd like to discuss the deal from earlier."
"Brilliant." He smiled, pushing himself off of the tree.
"I decline." I blurted and his face fell. "You are going to fail." His frown formed into a smirked and he started to chuckle, lightly
"Riley, we've known each other for a very long time. You were one of my Lost Boys after Tink abandoned you. You should know that I always win." Pan circled me with his head shaking with disappointment. I remember that day perfectly. I was growing into my final years until I fully became a teenager.
I climbed to the top of a tree near the tree house. I smiled at the view. I am now 16. Neverland makes you grow fast. I've only been here for 4 weeks and I'm already a teenager. I noticed a rock shaped like a skull. It was glorious. I jumped down from the tree. I gripped my sword in my right hand. I heard a rustle in the bushes. It was Tinkerbell. I sighed, putting my sword in my scabbard, which was attached to my waist.
"It's only you. I thought it'd be one of Pan's delinquents." I laughed with relief. Her face fell and she closed her eyes.
"Actually Riley, we need to talk." She breathed.
"About what." I asked.
"I'm letting you go." Tink blurted.
"Like leaving the island?" I asked with my eyes lit up with a grin across my face. She shrugged, frowning. I smiled. "Where?!"
"I was hoping back to your father." She steadily shook out. My grin disappeared.
"I am not going back to that monster." I growled, backing away from her.
"Ril-"
"NO! I am not going back to him. He abandoned me. If he were a true father, he'd be on this island right now, trying to find me. But no...he's not. Ever since my mother died to the Dark One, I had to bare every single moment being alone." I yelled. She stayed silent. "I was alone with no one while he whisked away to bars, getting wasted and bringing home to the ship random women he found off of the streets." Tears began to brim into my eyes. "If you truly cared about me, you would understand. You only care about yourself though." I finished. I started to walk away.
"Thank you for reminding me what I'm all about!" Tink yelled. I turned to face her.
"Getting my wings back." She hissed. Suddenly, The Lost Boys emerged from the tree line, slowly and all at once. I looked around with anger by my side. One boy grabbed me and I struggled against his arms.
"You're aren't letting me go, are you?" I whined, my voice becoming weak but also loud.
"How would that help me?" She said, sarcastically. I glared at her.
"You wanted to get your wings back so much, you didn't even realize you were just like him. You are a coward, Tinkerbell!" I screamed at her as the boys dragged me with them. "You will rue the day!" I screamed until the tallest boy put a sack over my head cut. I fit one last glare before drifting into darkness.
"You have the girl." I heard Tinkerbell say. "You have what he wants!" She yelled. I felt someone grabbed me and dragged me throughout the forest. I began to hear music. Mainly a flute. It became louder. I was thrown down onto the ground and picked back up, having the bag ripped off my head. My hair flew everywhere as I was face to face with the bloody demon my father warned me about. He smirked at me.
