Olivia's POV
He started walking to me and as I struggled he sighed and said coldly
"Will you just stop? I'm not going to kill you...for now.
I sent him a seriously-dude look and rolled my eyes. He began untying my arms and grabbing my wrist he pulled me out of the tent and turned to me.
"Now, brace yourself.
- What for?
- This."
Before I could say anything he pulled me to him and suddenly I felt a blast of wind making my hair fly all over my face. And I found myself on a cliff to the very edge. I jumped and held onto him, ignoring his smirk.
"Oh my God! W-what happent, how did you do that?!"
Before I could answer he suddenly pushed me over the edge and I began falling, too dumbfounded to scream.
I shut my eyes. I was going to die, into the big blue waves I was going to crash into. I waited for the impact but it never came. The ocean was nearer I could feel it. What a stupid death. He pushed me, I fell. I braced myself for the shock...
At that moment I was caught by two strong arms and lifted up to the sky. I realised I wasn't dead and clung to the arms of my savior...pan.
I rolled my eyes but still didn't let go, extremely scared of falling again. He looked at me with a smirk I wanted to rip off his face. I was just panicked first. But then he snaked his arm around my waist, holding me steady and I caught his hand clinging to it.
"Don't let me fall" I whispered shaking. He looked down at me "Relax. I won't. Enjoy it now."
Peter's POV
"Relax. I won't. Enjoy it now."I said.
She still didn't, so I did and we flew just over the water. I still held her and with the other hand I touched the water and gazed at her. She seemed to hesitate but slowly relaxed and smiled at the wind blowing in her face. Slowly, to gain her confidence I guided her hand to the water and plunged it in. Her mouth slowly opened in surprise at the feeling of the water sliding through her fingers and then she laughed in joy. She liked it. Her eyes sparkled and slowly I took my hand away from hers so she could do it on her own.
We flew over the sea, the jungle and back to the shore.
As our feet touched the ground she stood there in shock and I smirked at her innocent and dumbfounded face.
She stared at me in astonishment, shaking her head "No, no that's not possible...how-how did you...?!
So...you really are Peter pan?! You're real? I mean you're a story, you're not supposed to exist...w-what the hell?!
Okay I'm confused.
"Yeah I can see that."
3rd POV
She ignored his comment and didn't seem to be able to truly realise all this was true. Suddenly Peter pulled her to him again and teleported them to a camp full of boys playing around a big fire. Olivia jerked away from him, pissed "Stop doing that! Just-just stay away from me.
"Come on , I need to present you to the lost boys."he replied ignoring her.
He pulled her nearer to the fire and shouted
"Hey Boys!! We have a new comer!
Meet Olivia our very first Lost girl!"
The boys cheered, stomping their weapons or staff on the ground making a rythme rather impressive to see. Olivia met with Felix, a tall blonde boy with a scar on his face. She eyed him with defiance. He smirked at her and said "A girl, huh? Interesting. She is welcomed amongst the lost boys when she proved herself.
"That can easily be arranged " another one added and they continued talking about her which made her blood boil in her veins and suddenly she yelled
"SHUT IT!!!" They all turned to her, astonished, pan smirked so did Felix and she let out a breath, glaring at them all "First I have no idea what is going on right now and I want explanations! Second you all stop talking about me when I'm standing in front of you all right?! And third..."
She turned to pan and then Felix and the others confused and lost.
"You...you can't be the Lost boys... they-they don't exist, I mean how's that possible?!"
But all the evidence were there. This was Peter pan and here she had met with the lost boys. A deep sigh escaped her lips and she mumbled
"Someone slap me. I must be dreaming. Or-"
She was cut off by a hand slapping her rudely across the face making her spin and slam into the tree on her left, completely stunned. She reached for her cheek and turned around "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! FELIX!!" She yelled at the blonde boy whom everyone was blankly staring at. He raised his hands up in defense
"What, you asked for it!" The boys snorted and laughed as she glared daggers at him. Felix bit his lip but she looked mor dumbfounded then angry as she rubbed her now red cheek and repeated looking at him
"So you really are the lost boys? This... this is Neverland? So Hook and the pirates, and Tinkerbell and Tigerlily are real?!
What about Wendy?"
Peter tensed at the name but she didn't notice. Felix nodded surprised at her question and even more when a smile appeared on her lips.
"I guess the slap worked blondie."she stated and he scoffed "You do not call me blondie, sweetheart."
"I'll call you blondie as much as you call me sweetheart, blondie. But just a question, where are the girls here?"
The boys sent her interrogating looks and she frowned looking up to Felix. "Wait, you don't mean to say that I'm the only girl here on this island?!!! "
Felix nodded and she backed a step from them afraid. Felix stepped forward "Hey it's okay, we're not going to hurt you right now. You're one of us now. You're a lost girl. Welcome home."he hesitated before adding softly "Olivia."
She looked around at the boys, curious to see what kind of girl she was. Olivia swallowed and fought back the tears coming to her eyes. She reached for her necklace and locked eyes with Peter. She was not ready for this. None of this looked like the tale...
Eventhough he looked quite scary, Felix seemed the most trustable here.
She turned to him and whispered "What do I have to do?"
Felix frowned surprised that she turned to him and Pan said
"You become my lost girl. You will sleep in the tent there alone. Special treatment for the princess." Fire flashed in her eyes as she tackled him against a tree with rage but he only smirked
"Call me that again and I will end you.
"You have fire...I like fire."
Olivia backed a step and after a confused look she walked to the tent he'd said was hers without looking back.
The next morning Olivia woke up in a start, sweat covering her forehead and she sat up, panting.
Her nightmares...
She kept having them now, it haunted her during the night. Olivia swung her legs to the end of the bed and she stood up quickly when pain shot through her right leg and she winced, holding onto the bed. She readjusted her and gritting her teeth she walked to a small wooden handmade cupboard where clothes had been prepared for her. She took out some black pants, a grey shirt with a belt to which hung a dagger and a pair of combat boots. She wrapped herself in a dark cloak with a wide hood and went out. The boys were still sleeping, it would seem, the sun had barely risen.
The idea of running away crossed her mind but then she remembered the chase and the wound she got for running away. She needed a plan, a good plan to leave the island safely.
The young girl decided to go for a walk. After all the place was quite beautiful for what she had seen. With a small smile she entered the jungle. The forest had a different color to what she was used to, the green was darker and yet lighter in a way. It looked like it glowed. Birds flew here and there letting their beautiful voice echoes and the wind accompanied them, stroking the leaves and gently shaking the branches. She looked up to the sky with her mouth opened and eyes filled with joy and admiration.
She had never seen such a beautiful and calm landscape around her. She had always been used to the noise from town and the streets filled with cars and angry people. Scary place. Here she thought she was in heaven, if you only took in the landscape. Not the people. Maybe they weren't so bad, she needed to see for herself.
At that moment a butterfly caught her attention and with a small gasp of admiration she followed it, giggling by herself and running through the forest. She got to a glade where she could see hundreds of butterflies lik the one she followed, they were big with long dark blue and silver wings.
She had never seen that before. In the glade she noticed a wolf standing there and stared at it in amazement.
She was like a child, amazed by the beauty of it all. Silently the wolf took a step forward and then froze. Pushed by an unknown reflex, Olivia bowed her head and locking eyes with it she slowly walked to the noble animal carefully watching her every move. After a moment she was stroking the wolf's head. Her smile never left her face.
Then a butterfly landed on her arm and she giggled, looking up and spinning in delight. She felt free, like when she went flying with Pan.
She closed her eyes, and let out a breath, extending her arms to the sides. All the pain from the past 5 months faded just for the moment there. Even her leg didn't hurt right now.
She continued stroking the wolf's head and watching the butterflies graciously fly around.
"Lost are we?"said a voice in a deep British accent.
The wolf ran away in a second and the butterflies flew away quickly leaving her disappointed -but still happy of the discovery. She smiled at him
"It's amazing, don't you think?
"You tried to run away again didn't you?"he's asked coldly, and surprisingly, she didn't seem to hear what he had said. He furrowed his eyebrows and said growing impatient
"Did you just hear my question?!
"What was it?"she asked looking around her in awe.
Before he could answer that she whispered
"This place is so wonderful... No wonder you don't want to grow up and leave... it's like paradise! Everything is just beautiful..
And no, I didn't try to run away again."
Pan stared at her for a moment. Never had he ever really taken the time to enjoy what was his, in fact, he had never seen these butterflies or the wolf. Strange... He looked around him and back at her.
She seemed to him like she was glowing, light eradiated from her, her kindness had this effect. She wasn't clearly like the other lost boys. There was something more about her, light, innocence and yet strength. Pan could feel something else... magic radiated from her, a great powerful magic. He needed it, her magic could make him stronger and more powerful.
He shook his head and called out to her. "Come on lost girl, it's time for you to train. Let's go"
And he began walking away, obviously expecting for her to follow him. Olivia sighed but followed, jogging to get to him and then walking beside the young boy. Still amazed she turned around or on the side all the time and Pan often prevented her from tripping over some roots or rocks. At one point he caught her arm firmly and grumbled with a small smile "Watch where you go, love.
They arrived to a clearing and Pan whispered in her ear
"Let's see how much fire you got there, Lost girl."sending shivers down her spine.
He faced her and spoke up
"Right, Felix!"
The blonde boy came out of the shadows and taking his hood off and walked to her. She let her cloak fall to the floor.
"Hand to hand combat, no weapons or magic allowed. Fight."
Olivia sent him a puzzled look.
Olivia's POV
I didn't know what to do. Did I really have to fight the blondie guy?! I mean, not that I couldn't, just that I had only taken lessons and fought against my teacher.
Pan was staring at me expectantly with a devilish smirk. This was obviously a game for him. Well if he wanted to play, then I would.
Suddenly Felix leapt and attacked me but I blocked and immediatly hit him in the stomach with my foot, sending him tumbling to the ground. But that was nothing for him and he stood up, furious and I attacked, he blocked, he blocked again, so I ducked and span but his fist connected with my jaw and I tumbled to to the ground with a groan. I stood up again and the fight went on. I was pretty good at this, probably the only thing I could be satisfied about. But I was no match for Felix and after suddenly blocking my arm he twisted it in my back. I elbowed him in the face but he replied to that by his leg hooking to mine from behind and pinning me to the ground.
I gasped when my back hit the floor but managed to reverse our position.
This fight however had gotten me tired and Felix in a harsh move pinned me back to the ground with a smirk. He had his knee against my throat, blocking me. I hated losing in a fight. I already paid the price for it once and ever since that day... everything's been different.
I glared daggers at him "You won now would you get off me? You're not actually a very pleasant sight,blondie.
3rd POV
"Ooh feisty one, huh?" Pan said while the boys snorted and whistled, Felix stood up and held out his hand to help her up. Olivia ignored it and stood up on her own.
Pan raised an eyebrow and told her "I'm sure you can do better. Take a sword.
Fight with...Derek this time."
But she had never used a sword in her life. Derek unarmed her in a second, same for the other three times.
Olivia winced at the pain in her leg. The fight was over and the boys trained together, she watched, silently wishing she could do as well. She needed to learn a lot.
She was tired out and panting, a few cuts and bruises, tho nothing serious.
It was like living in a dream. All this was too new to her. And she felt so lonely. Questions were still rushing through her mind.
Would she truly never go back to the real world.?
Pan interrupted her "Olivia, follow me." He walked into the jungle and she followed. They walked to the glade. Pan teleported her and himself to another place. There was water, so beautiful it seemed to be shining in the sunlight. Olivia smiled at the gorgeous sight.
"It's beautiful ! But why are you taking me here? Swimming?!
"No, love, no. Here is the mermaid lagoon.
"Mermaid? You mean there are some in here?!"she said excited. Pan held her back, very seriously, she sent him a confused look and her smile faded.
"Mermaid would drown you quicker than you think. They are vicious and merciless creatures. Don't EVER go there without me. Do you hear me?"
She nodded but asked "How come you don't get drowned by them?
"They're afraid of me.
"Them?! Afraid of you? They're monsters, you said! Why?
Totally taken aback by the question he furrowed his eyebrows
"Eryone is afraid of me. That's just how it is.
"Don't you get sick of people fearing you?
"No.
"Well I don't get it. Maybe you're more impressive than others, but that doesn't make you a monster.
I have to say, you're lucky to own all this. It's all yours..."
Pan stared at her for a moment, confused,but when his eyes lay in her, his look softened.
Suddenly he snapped out of his thoughts and clenched his jaw. Focus.
"I want to ask you a few questions, now. We need to go somewhere else."he said and grabbing her wrist he teleported them to the cliff.
Olivia stiffened at the memory of falling again, but she stayed close.
She sat on a rock, crossing her arms on her chest and waited anxiously.
Pan smirked and locked eyes with her.
"Tell me what you know about the Saiven. "
"The what?"she repeated puzzled.
"This"he replied pointing to her necklace, a piece of string with a white cristal hanging to it. The stone had a strange shape. A sort of sign.
Olivia shook her head "This was a gift from my grandmother. She gave it to me when I was a baby and told me never to take it off. I never did. That's all. I don't know if it's a Saiven or not.
"Well I do. And no one ever told you?
"Told me what? Pan, I really suck at enigmas so please be a little more explicit." He raised an eyebrow but eventually explained.
"Only a kind of people wear the Saiven. It's rare, They're rare. But very powerful. Your grandmother was one of them, and if she gave you the symbol and the stone, that means you're one of them too. They have magic, a great deal of it in fact. And believe it or not, I could sense it, because I have magic too, not exactly the same, tho. But when magic comes to the island, I sense it even more than any other normal person.
You have magic, Olivia. You're very powerful. But you need to learn how to control it."
Pan's POV
After my little explanation I scruted her face, to read any emotions...joy, excitement, surprise, disbelief. I was stunned, there was none of these feelings. Just fear. Only fear and disgust of herself and what she was.
I frowned and stepped forward "You're not happy about this?! Olivia you are so powerful! "
But it only seemed to make things worse as she backed a step, tears shining in her eyes. "But powerful people become dangerous. "
She shook her head with watery eyes.
"I didn't ask for this!
I didn't ask for any of this."
This girl was a mystery to me. Who doesn't want power?! I need her to believe me and trust me to teach her how to control it and then take her powers for me.
"Olivia you can't run from who you are. You have to face it. I'll teach you. You will learn to accept it."
She looked at me with defiance, clearly not convinced. "You have to trust me. I'll teach you how to fight and how to control your powers, all right? You understand now why I told you your place wasn't in the real world."
She scoffed but seemed to be hesitating. She looked around her, lost. Suddenly she took her decision and letting out a breath she nodded and turned her face to me. I saw will and courage. I saw fire in her eyes.
She was ready. "Good. I need now to trigger the magic inside of you."
I raised my arm and passed my hand in the air before her. She gasped as she glowed with a blinding white light and her stone shone too. I shielded my eyes with my arm and after a few seconds the light was gone and I stared at her for a few seconds. My eyes landed on her right arm. A drawing had appeared on the forearm. Long patterns like thin twisted branches surrounding the sign of the Saiven. I smiled "Well, you're marked now."
"What the hell just happent?!
"Now we need to see what kind of powers you have. But that will show up eventually in the mean time. Now let's get back to camp. "
With a devilish smirk I said
"Tonight. We play."
