Breaking The Rules

Chapter 21: Falling apart...again.

"It seems we have a visitor." He says his eyes lighting up. The boys yell in disapproval and just pure excitement. I smile and look around at all the boys faces. I come upon Johnson's and he smiles and he squeezes through the crowd. He stands beside me and I wrap my arm around his shoulder.

Peter yells on and on about how the visitors think they can get away with it ,and that nobody tries to trick Pan ,the usual overdramatic stuff. "If anyone ,knows who this person is ,tell me now ,while you can still talk." I roll my eyes. You could see the change in the boys faces.

He grins at everyone with blood lust. The boys look around at each other ,and I can hear an echo of ,"It isn't me." This makes me smile ,but my smile slowly fades as I realize who he's talking about.

"Do you know who it is?" Johnson asks as he pulls on my arm. I look down at him and shake my head. Peter's grin only widened in approval at the reaction he created. "Good ,now that everyone knows the rules ,go find this ,unwanted visitor." He says pointing to the jungles.

The lost boys scatter and everyone runs into the jungle ,leaving me and Peter alone in the camp. "You're not going?" He says jumping off the log. I'm surprised at his sudden words that I haven't heard for so long.

"Yeah ,I'm not really into the whole "finding" thing." I say standing awkwardly. "Okay." Peter says sitting down. "Peter ,I know who the visitor is." I say suddenly. Peter stands up. He squints his eyes at me in suspicion.

"But before you say anything ,don't get mad." I say quickly. He nods ,not saying a thing. "His name is Rumpelstiltskin ,and he's teaching me how to use my magic. He's been teaching me for a month now ,and I'm doing pretty good so far. So please ,don't kill me or anything." I say with a deep breath at the end. Tension builds in my chest as I wait for Peter's reaction.

His hands ball into a fist and then he takes a deep breath and lets his fist go. "How long have you had this ,magic." He says looking down. "I found out when Bae found me on the cliff." I say walking towards him.

He looks up at me. "You didn't tell me!" He yelled leaning in closer. "Well yeah ,but-" Peter cuts me off. "Why Wendy ,why!" He says leaning me up against a tree ,his arms on each side of me. "You keep breaking rule ,after rule!" He yells as his voice echoes through the vacant camp. "I-I don't understand?" I say out of a loss of words.

"Do you even know what he's going to do to you?" He yells looking deep within my eyes. It seemed every time he yelled he got closer. His eyes were a mixture of sadness and rage ,his breath was heavy and minty. "What do you mean?" I ask with my hands on his warm chest ,before he got any closer.

I could feel his heavy breathing. He takes a deep breath and rolls his eyes. "All magic comes with a price ,Wendy." He says stepping back ,his finger on his temple. I become confused ,he never told me that. I slid down the tree and curl my knees into my chest. I totally messed up this time.

Why would he lie. For all I know ,he's lying about my magic. I am ,the most powerful being. I thought the world was just becoming clear because I now understand magic ,but now it's falling apart...again.

"Hey." Peter says looking down at me. He kneels down to me. "Wendy! Look at me." He puts his hand on my face. My heart is racing and I almost zone out and have a magic breakdown, before Peter does the unexpected.

Peter grabs my arms and pulls them to him. He puts my hands around his neck and he wraps his arms around me. He pulls me into a hug and runs his fingers through my hair. Soothing the screaming voices in my head. "Wendy ,focus on my voice. Only me ,only us." He whispers into my ears. It's only at this time I realize how close he is to me ,and my cheeks heat up.

My breathing slows down and I cry. Oh ,no. I try to stop the tears ,but they won't stop. Not right now no. Not while I'm in front of Peter. He pulls away from the hug and looks at me.

I look down and try to hide my face. He grabs my chin and wiped the tears off my blushed cheeks.

My eyes met with his green emeralds ,and everything about him draws me in. His messy hair ,his perfectly crafted pink lips ,the way he makes the dull brown jungle light up with his smile. Everything.

"Put yourself together ,Wendy. Emotions and power combined makes your emotions stronger than ever before." He says lifting me off the ground. See this is what confuses me. He was completely angry at me two seconds ago and then he hugged me.

"Time to think of a way to get Rumpelstiltskin off our island." He says with a smile. A heavy weight is lifted off my chest ,and I'm no longer crying. "Let's play." I say with a grin I imitate from Peter.
