Peter's POV
It was a long night.
A night where all of our troubles and worries were washed away and replaced by laughter, making memories, smiles, giggles, and happiness.
Feeling defeated was replaced by winning a victory because of me.
Oh, the cleverness of me!
The celebration was indeed a night to remember.
Neverland's nights consists of darkness hovering over the island. The stars reflecting each wish that was said by someone. The moonlight being the only light source available for any creature that lurks in the darkness. I was one of those creatures.
After the celebration ended, all of the excitements were replaced by yawns and tiredness. Murmers of goodnights were exchanged and light footsteps exited the camp. Petra and Scott stayed after for a while to help clean up, while I put out the fire. Rae had already left to tuck the younger lost boys to sleep.
Once everything was cleaned and put back in place, my sister hugged me tightly and whispered a goodnight before being welcomed by Scott's arms. Scott waved at me with a small smile before leading my sister away from camp and to her room.
It was just me that was left alone. The lonely creature that felt at peace within the darkness. I finished up things at camp before I closed my eyes and breathed heavily. My feet were hovering over the ground and I flew to my favorite place in Neverland.
Skull Rock.
An independent rocky island that had the view of the entire island.
As soon as I saw the familiar glowing skull head, I decided to land safety on top of the head of the skull. I felt the familiar rocky surface touch beneath my boots and the cool breeze that brought shivers down my spine. Good shivers.
I slowly walked closer and closer to the ege of the head until I stopped in my tracks. I sat down letting my heavy boots dangle in the air while I placed my arms by my side to support me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I inhaled the power that I felt connected between me and the island. All of the magic radiating from the island to me.
Suddenly, I sensed someone sitting down next to me. Sitting very close to me.
" Peter? " , the angelic voice of my girlfriend said.
" Yes. " , I replied before opening my eyes again as I turned to her.
Those big blue eyes reflected the moon and it made it seem like she held an ocean in her eyes. Her soft black hair twisted in curls felt like silk. Her fair skin made the Evil Queen jealous of her instead of Snow White. Her light pink lips just so kissable.
She was just a sight that I could never get tired of seeing.
" Peter Pan? " , Rae interrupted by snapping her finger in front of me.
I blinked a few times before smiling at Rae.
" Hi. " , I smiled shyly.
I probably look like a dork right now.
" Hi. " , Rae giggled before intertwining our hand together.
" How did you get here? " , I questioned her.
" Pixie dust. " , Rae said.
" I thought you didn't like flying? " , I questioned her.
" Well. I decided to overcome my fear of heights so I could see you. " , Rae smiled while she nudged my shoulder.
I decided to overcome my fear of heights so I could see you.
Her words made my heart melt. She choose to be with me despite her fear of heights. She choose to stay by my side. She choose me.
Unexpectedly, tears escaped from my eyes and down my cheek. I didn't know if I was crying tears of joy or tears of sadness.
" Awe Peter. " , Rae said softly before gently wiping my tears.
" I don't deserve you, Rae. I don't deserve to have a girlfriend. I don't deserve to have you around me and be there for me. Despite my wicked ways, you lead me out of my darkness. I'm sorry, I couldn't contain it. " , I sniffled while smiling weaky.
" Don't apologize, Peter. You make me happy and I adore you. Even with our ups and downs, I choose you because I love you. " , Rae smiled while stroking my cheek gently.
" I love you too. " , I said softly with a small smile.
Rae hugged me tightly and laid her head on my shoulder. I returned the gesture and kissed her cheek. We both squeezed one another like it was our last hug.
Then we broke away because we needed some fresh air. Rae and I laughed before scooting away from the edge of the rock and sitting to where we had space in front of us.
Rae sat on my lap and leaned against my chest. My arms scooped up her waist holding her close to me.
The island of Neverland with the night sky was our view.
Well Rae's view. My view was my girlfriend.
" You do know that Neverland is your island. " , Rae sighed happily. " You and it are connected. "
" Indeed. " , I confirmed.
" You truly are the best leader for this island. Without you, Neverland wouldn't be the same. " , Rae stated.
" Neverland wouldn't be the same without you. " , I said.
Rae looked up at me with blushed cheeks and a smile. I leaned down to kiss her gently before holding her closer and stroking her hair gently.
" Make a wish, Peter. " , Rae whispered seeing a shooting star pass by.
" I don't have to. I already have everything I need. " , I smiled at her.
" Wanna know what I wish for? " , Rae nudged my arm with her shoulder.
" Tell me. " , I hummed.
" I wish we could have more moments like this without interruptions. " , Rae giggled.
" I can arrange that. " , I smirked wiggling my eyebrows.
Rae's giggles filled the air as I laughed along with her. This is one of those moments where you never want it to end.
A couple of days ago, I had realized that I was born to be a leader and I'm not alone in any battle.
I know that this wouldn't be the last time I see Victor. This was only the beginning.
Too bad, I will have to end it so soon.
My name is Peter Pan and Neverland is my own kingdom.
A/N: End of the chapter ☺️ I tried to stick to 50 chapters like the last book but my chapters got all messed up when I went back to edit it so I had to end it with 49 🤷🏽♀️ At least I made a sequel 💁🏽♀️
