Tiger Lily and Peter sat on Tiger Lily’s favorite cliff upon the mountain, watching over one half of Neverland that included Pirate Bay, the lost boys’ hideout and skull rock to their right. Mermaid lagoon was hidden by the mountain upon the other side and they sat beneath a starry sky with the moon casting its light upon the land and lighting up faint clouds.
“I can feel the darkness coming.” Tiger Lily said and Peter nodded as they watched Hook’s ship nestle amongst the waves.
“You can do it, Lily.” He said and turned to look at her with his light green eyes. Tiger Lily frowned as if she didn’t quite believe his words. “I know you can.” He told her.
“When they took you away...” Tiger Lily said and for a moment had to gather strength to continue speaking. “The time glass shattered. The magic you had collected to keep you alive just a bit more sunk into the ground of this island. But you’re all gone.”
As if Hook’s ship never had been there, it’s light went out and it vanished after a cloud had covered the moon, leaving darkness for a short moment. When it lit up Pirate Bay the ship was gone. Tiger Lily sniffled and with a frustrated hand, she wiped away her tears. “Why didn’t you ask for help?” She asked and turned to look at Peter, for a moment she thought he was gleaming but it was the stars she saw through him.
“I had it under control.” He said and gripped his dagger in his hand. “If only Regina wouldn’t be so heartless.”
“You always think people are better than they are, even if you mock them and tell them otherwise, you always think they’ll do the right thing.” She chuckled.
“I would give Henry another heart to keep him going... as if I’d let him be dead.” Peter angrily grabbed a pebble from the ground and threw it. “He was much to fun to just die.”
“But you and your anger management.” Tiger Lily shook her head.
“My son couldn’t win.” Peter said angrily, the game was just starting and they thought they could leave?”
Tiger Lily reached out a hand to ruffle Peter’s hair as she always did, but her hand went right through him. She gasped and pulled it back. She always forgot.
“If I ever get the chance to come back. To get back at them. To win. It was a foul move.” Peter said and referred to Hook taking them both with him. “He put even more darkness into me.”
Tiger Lily’s eyes widened, this was new information. “He what?”
“He brought me with him into his “death” and I clung onto his life, taking what I could and his life was darkened of course.” Peter looked at Tiger Lily’s confused expression. “He’s the dark one, duh.”
“Oh don’t mock me!” Tiger Lily snapped and then lied down upon the grass, looking up. “So the darkness I feel that is taking over me....”
“It could be my fault.” Peter Pan finished her sentence and she shook her head.
“No, it can’t be. It’s sorrow, frustration, and anger and it’s this heavy feeling in your chest. And you feel like you have to tear open your chest to let it out. These... feelings.”
“Lily, does it really help for me to stay?” Peter asked her and she sat up.
“It does.” She answered immediately. “You’re my best friend.” Peter raised a brow and she stuck out her tongue at him. “You may be the worst mannered boy in all worlds, but you’re my friend.”
“Won’t you forget me?” Peter asked and she lightly shook her head.
“Never.” She said with a smile and Peter smiled back.
“The spirit world awaits, thanks for calling me.” He told her and leaned close to her and for a moment she felt something pull at her braid.
“Oh, Peter!” She shrieked and he laughed, but when she jumped up to get back at him he had vanished. “I’ll call you again next full moon.” She promised.
