Neverland's Lovers ⇢ ♕Once Upon A Time

Chapter 12: Punch. Throw. Cry.

Sophia's P.O.V

It's a new day and I wake up to the sound of yelling and shouting. I sit up, and can't help but yawn and stretch my arms. I quickly slip on some shoes and run outside.

I see James, covered in blood, scrapes and bruises all over his body. He is tied to a chair and he is yelling at Peter. Dylan, Robert, and Felix are all standing behind Peter, all looking down at their feet. They are all too scared to stand up for James and they won't do anything about it. Peter is standing in front of James, his hands are all bloody and you can tell he has been beating James. Peter is yelling at James at the same time James is yelling at Peter. Peter punches James in the face, spilling blood all over the dirt.

I run out to where they are and yell, "STOP IT!!STOP THIS RIGHT NOW." I yell at both of them.

Peter looks at me angrily and he says,"Sophia, get out of my way. Before I make you."

"No! I'm not going to let you beat the living crap out of him!" I say strongly and holding my ground.

"Move. Now. He has to pay the price since he broke one of our rules here in Neverland." Peter says. All I can see in his eyes is darkness. I have never seen Peter like this before.

"Sophie, let it go. I'll be fine. Just leave please." James says to me, only able to open one eye because the other is swelled shut.

"No. I'm not leaving you. It's not all your fault."I say, looking at James sadly.

"Sophia, this is the last time I am going to ask you. Move," Peter says, stepping closer to me.

I take a step closer to him,"I'm not moving. And I kissed him back, it's not all his fault!" I yell at Peter. The next thing I know, I am on the ground and a stinging sensation on my right cheek. I stay on the ground shocked at what he just did. He just slapped me. Peter slapped me. I get up and face him. "I hope you rot in hell, Pan" I spit at him.

"Robert, Dylan. Take Sophia to the cages. I don't want her running off." Peter says, not even looking at me.

I feel two pairs of hands on my arms taking me away. "Oh, and Sophia?" Peter says, turning to look at me. He walks over to us and leans down to my ear to say, "You're the one already in hell. All that kindness I gave to you. It was all an act. All so you would stay here. With me." He says the last part with a small chuckle.

"You lied to me. How could you do that? Why did you pretend ?" I ask, now I know why my father hated this place.

Peter walks back over to James. He starts to throw punches at him again, and I start to yell at him,"STOP! STOP IT PLEASE! DON'T HURT HIM! PLEASE STOP!" I can feel the hands on my arms, pulling me away from them. I try to fight back but they are too strong. I give up and let them drag me to whatever hell hole pan wants me to be in.

*********

I am sitting in a cage made out of wood or bamboo. I don't know what it is but I really don't care right now. I tried to save James from Peter but, he was just so ruthless. He was so nice to me and I actually thought he was different from all the other boys I've dated. But I was wrong. They are never who they say they really are. He treated me like he really cared about me. Then he just tossed me aside like everyone does to me. All except for the lost boys I've met here. They all seem to be so caring but they don't want to admit it. I know the boys didn't want to pull me away, but they had to or they would end up like James. James... He was the one who helped me the most. I feel so horrible that he has to go through all that pain just because he kissed me. He went through all that pain because he expressed what he was feeling. I am happy when I'm with him.

I am broken out of my thoughts by the bushes moving. I hear talking and footsteps.

"She will be fine. She is the daughter of Captain Hook." I hear Pan say.

"Well, technically she is my daughter. But it doesn't matter." I hear Felix say.

I see Felix and Pan walk out of the bushes.

"See, I told you. She is fine." Peter says, pointing his hand at my cage.

"I'm not fine and I want to see James." I say coldly.

"He's a little tied up right now." Peter says with a wicked smile."But maybe when you behave, I'll let you go see him."

"I want to see him now, Pan." I say, saying his name with disgust.

"Ouch! Are we going back to last names? I thought you cared about me?" Pan says sarcastically.

"I did. But after I saw you beating the living crap out of one of my new best friends, I don't think you deserve to be called by your first name." I say, holding the bars of my cage firmly. "Now let me out."

Felix looks at Pan and walks forward towards my cage. He bends down and takes out a key. He looks me straight in the eye and whispers so only I can hear," I am so sorry for what happened to James." He puts the key in the lock, I hear the lock click and Felix opens the cage door. As soon as it's open, I crawl out of the cage and make a run for camp. I make it past both Pan and Felix and run down the trail. I can hear them calling my name and their footsteps behind me. I make it into the camp and see a natural atmosphere. They are all having fun, sword fighting or drawing in the sand. I spot Dylan and Robert and run towards them.

"Where is he? Where is James?" I ask, seeing both of their surprised faces.

"How did you get out?" Robert asks me.

"Where is he?" I ask again.

"Sophie, you're not going to like this." Dylan says to me, looking at me worriedly.

"I don't care what he looks like. I want to see him," I say with a little more anger in my voice.

"I'll take you. Robert, watch for Pan and tell me if he's coming." Dylan says, taking my hand in his and pulling me to where they were standing. Robert nods and moves aside. Dylan walks quickly down the path they were guarding. We make a turn and my eyes go wide and I grip Dylan's hand tighter because I wasn't expecting it to be this bad.
