Piped Piper

Chapter 2: The gathering

He finished writing and did a small drawing of a hat with a feather. Something that she hasn't seen. It was something he used to wear before she left. He never wore it again and he has been searching for a new one. He has finally found the one. The perfect one that could and will stay forever. She will be his queen and he will be her king.

Peter looked down at Savannah as she began to move. Was she waking up? Peter wondered but he was wrong. She simply turned towards him and hugged his waist. Her face was resting on his right thigh now. Peter felt his face heat up from being used as a teddy bear.

Peter looked away in the trees and calmed down. This was the closest he has ever been to a female and the longest. The sun was now at its highest peak right above them. Savannah groaned quietly as she sat up. Peter could feel his heart swell as she rubbed her eyes tiredly. " Did I fall asleep? " She mummbled as she looked at Peter with half-lidded eyes.

Peter felt the blush on his cheeks darken as she sat up properly. " How long was I asleep? " Savannah inquired. She wanted to know how much time she wasted in her sleep state. Peter shrugged, he wasn't keeping track. '' Two hours or so. "

Savannah's face heated up as she looked down. She realized she must have shifted in her sleep. On a boy, most girls her age would be in two feet of one. It's seen as incorporate. " Oh, I'm, " Before she could apologize Peter smiled. " Don't, you were tired. Don't apologize for that, besides I was quite sleepy too. "

He threw in a lie. He knew she wouldn't appreciate it but he also knew it would make her feel better. Savannah's ears perked up and she stood up. " Oh? Okay, um what should we do?" Peter stood up and grabbed a bag, Savannah didn't realize he brought it with him. " It's lunchtime, want to eat M'lady? " Savannah smiled and sat down beside him. " Of course, good sir. I would love to. "

Peter opened the bag and Savannah saw he took out a container. He then handed her one sandwich and a water bottle. " It's not much, I didn't know what you liked so I went with the normal one...." He trailed off and Savannah smiled. " It's wonderful, Peter. Thank you, very much, good sir. " Peter smiled and said. '' Of course, only the finest for m'lady. " Savannah laughed and they began to eat the sandwiches.

Savannah must admit, it wasn't that bad. Peter watched as she ate her sandwich. Not a hair was out of place, unlike him who has mustard on his cheek. Peter didn't make a move to remove the mustard. In his mind, only more would replace it. Savannah finished her sandwich first and was about to wipe her hands with the napkin when she noticed that Peter had mustard all over his face. Savannah took his napkin and grabbed his face gently.

She did this without warning so it made Peter blush. He looked at her as she wiped away the mustard. She looked so beautiful and she smiled. '' You have the eating habits of a child, Peter. " Peter shrugged and Savannah wiped her face with her napkin. She wiped her hands and placed the now dirty napkin in her side pocket. of her bag.

She saw Peter copy her actions with his bag. He then said. " I can take yours..." Savannah who didn't think anything of it handed him the napkin. He then placed it in the paper bag that the sandwiches were previously kept in. He then closed his bag with the paper one inside.

Savannah stood up and stretched sightly. " Want to play a game? " Peter looked at her with a goofy smile. " Of course! Ho about hide in seek? The loser has to do everything the winner says for a day! " Savannah was about to agree when she realized. She would be found eventually. " Is there a time limit? For you find me, I mean. " Peter was secretly hoping that she would overlook that tiny detail. " Yes, half an hour! I will count to ten slowly and you go hide! "

Savannah nodded and Peter turned to the tree. " Ten! " With that one word, Savannah took off running. She ran in zigzags towards the school. It was an unspoken rule that they were only allowed in the forest. Savannah grabbed a low branch and began to climb. Shehalfwayf way up when she heard Peter running towards her. She pressed against the tree as he stopped. " Savanah! I will find you!! " He called out as he looked around.

Peter knew she was scared of falling so he wouldn't climb a tree. So now he just has to search the ground. Peter leaned against the tree that Savannah was hiding in. " Maybe I should get a higher view! " It made sense in Peter's mind since he could see farther in a tree. He then began to climb the tree.

Savannah felt herself panic and was hoping he wouldn't climb towards her. She didn't want to do what he says. It has only been ten minutes since he started to count. Feeling the panic starting to set as she saw a hand on the branch below him, she curled into a ball.

Peter could see a piece of Y/n's hair out of place in her hiding spot. Two branches above him. Peter had his mischievous grin as he saw her curl into a ball. It was cute to him, how she was trying too hard to win when it was clear that she couldn't. Peter pulled himself up on the branch below her and saw Y/n cover her mouth with her hand. Peter then poked his head beside her thigh and said. " Found you! "

Savannah sighed and pouted slightly. " Fine, you won. " Peter then said. " Great! Tomorrow I will be able to tell you to do things! " Savannah paused and sighed. She lowered herself by Peter and said. " I can't come tomorrow. I'm sorry Peter, but my mother already has plans for the day. How about on Monday? I can escape again to see you..." Peter frowned and sighed. He sat down beside her and nodded.

" Fine, what do you have to do? " Savannah shrugged. " Something about my aunt's house. " Peter kicked his feet and said. " You will be here on Monday right? " Savannah paused, she didn't want to make a false promise. " I don't know, she has been very vague about it...'' Peter's eyes widen as he had an unpleasant thought. " Is your aunt close to London? " Savannah shook her head. " No, it's a twelve-hour drive from here..." Savannah's eyes widen as she also realized what he had. Her mother was going to send her to be with her aunt. Away from the Piped Piper.

Peter glared at his hands and realized he had to do it earlier than he wanted. He took a deep breath and asked. " Can you delay it even if just a week? Please, I don't want to lose my only friend. " Peter practically begged her and Savannah smiled. " Sure, I'll see what I could do. '' Peter smiled and jumped off of the branch. " The sun will set soon, we should get you home. I can walk you, today. " Savannah smiled and jumped down. He caught her one again and set her down gently. " Thank you, good sir. I would love that. " Peter smiled and said. '' Of course, M'lady. It's the gentlemanly thing to do. "

They wet to the tree and grabbed their bags fairly quickly. Peter placed Savannah's bag on his back and smiled. " Off to your house! " Savannah nodded and they began to make their way out of the forest. " Peter, why were you in the forest? " Peter shrugged and said. " I was bored. " Savannah smiled and said. " Well, I'm glad that you were. " Peter nodded and they exited the forest. " Which way? " Savannah grabbed his hand and lead him o the sidewalk. " I don't live far. Follow me. "

Peter noticed that she didn't let his hand go as she woke. Peter ad a small blush on his face and a smirk. He saw how abandoned these streets were. Suddenly, Savannah stopped in front of a small two-story house. " Bye Peter, please be safe. " She was quick to hug him and he held her for a moment. He handed her her bag and said. " Bye, Sav. I hope to see you on Monday. " Savannah smiled and nodded. " Of course! Bye! " She waved as she entered her house.

Peter now only had two problems. He walked back to the school and entered it. The sun hasn't set and he needed some names. He saw the door was slightly opened while the rest was closed. Bingo. That was the place he wanted.
