Forget Me Not

Chapter Five

     A small body bumped roughly into the side of Pan as he was passing by. On instinct he reacted but reaching to catch the stumbling mass, his arms wrapped tightly around a small waist. Pressed tightly against his chest stood a beautiful young woman around the age of 17. Her perfectly sculpted body was dressed in a crimson red dress with a matching mask. Her dark brown hair was pinned tightly into a masterpiece, her deep blue eyes rang familiarity deep inside of Pan, but he could not put his finger on it. The girl pushed gently away from Pans chest, clearly embarrassed. " My apologize, Miss." He bowed respectfully. She looked him over wearily before her blue eyes met Pans once again. She knew instantly that the strange boy before her was no local. His cloths fit loosely in places they were not meant to, as if they were not made for him. She smiled adoringly at the boy to mask her thoughts.  Just as she began to speak the music resumed once again.  Pan smiled softly, "May I?" He held his hand out. The girl looked at it hesitantly before taking it in a firm grip.

soon after they began to waltz to the enchanting music Pan quickly observed that she was very strong and powerful woman. The way she held her head straight and alert told Pan that she was very confident. Her graceful steps hinted that this was not her first ball.

   "I know who you are, Peter Pan." She said calmly as she follows Pans lead in the dance. Pan is shocked, but quickly pulls a sweet seductive smirk from the corners of his mouth. He dips her body low to the ground, their eyes meeting challenging each other. She gives him a stubborn glare. Pan quickly pulls her back into his strong arms, his hands snaking themselves tightly around her waist, preventing her from escaping him.

    "Aren't you scared, little girl?" His hot breath fans her bare neck. Any other girl would have shivered in fear, or even lust, but not her, she met Pan with a taunting stare. " Not even in the slightest. In fact I'm quite disappointed. When I heard the news that The Peter Pan was coming to my ball! Well, lets just say you are not what I imagined. Too mannered, not murderous enough." Pan slightly smiled. How naive she was, so innocent. Pan gentle caresses her soft face with the back of his hand.  "You see, that is where the irony is. Handsome, mannered bachelor who seems relatively harmless is in turn a heartless, immortal monster who has murdered little girls such as yourself for as much as looking me in the eyes." Pan expected a gasp or even a scream, but only was gifted with an experted eye roll. Frustrated Pan placed one of his hot hands warning around her small neck. He was determined to get a fearful reaction from this headstrong girl.  But yet again she gives him a bored look.

      " All I have to do is squeeze." His voice darkens.

        " All I have to do is scream." Pan grins wildly, it had been ages since he has had a challenge as good as now. " I know why you are here." Pan laughs. " You are just full of knowledge aren't you?" The girl rolls her eyes annoyed by the boy in front of her. He spins her swiftly. " You are delusional if you really think that you could kill the king of kings." She mocks as Pan lifts her effortlessly. "Is that so?" The girl scoffs before nodding, "You and your boys would die before you could even touch the ruler of this kingdom." Pan accepted her challenge. "Do not under estimate my boys and I. Us wild children are very unpredictable, nearly uncontrollable. If we want something we get it, always." He whispered seductively into the girls ear. Finally a small shiver ran down the girls spine. Pan smirked triumphantly.

The girl quickly pulled away from Pan as soon as the music faded into nothingness. Pan bowed low to the ground , but his eyes held a taunting gaze as he starred into the girls eyes. She returned with a low curtsy, her eyes searching for even the smallest bit of knowledge of the boy. She was pulled back to reality but the harsh voice of one of the guards.

"Your highness, you must come with me immediately. There is urgent news, the Peter Pan himself is here, in this very ballroom." The guards eyes flickered around the room fearfully. Her eyes quickly darted to Pan who stood tall and proudly. His eyes dared her to blow his cover. But she was smarter than to do such a thing like that, she knew if the guards would find him that the ball would turn into a bloody massacre. She turned her head back to the fearful guard. A small surprised gasp leaves her lips, " Oh dear that is quite a problem. Evacuate the ball immediately. Tell no who was the situation, we can not have a ballroom full of chaos, the less they know the better. Understand?" The guard nodded. She sharped her eyes at him. " Then what are you waiting for? Go!" The guard jumped into action.

Two heavily armed guards came up beside the girl, she narrowed her eyes towards Pan before turning her back to him. Pan watches closely as she ascends the grand staircase. He drops his smile. His eyes throw daggers, his voice slices the quiet air.

"Until next time, Princess."

I am going to write and extra chapter on Hollow, and tell what happens to Willows mother and her supposed fiance since I seemed to have left that out originally. So i believe that I am going to write that first before I write another chapter for this book.

I am also going to rewrite Hollow after I finish Forget Me Not due to holes in the plot, but mostly everything will stay the same. No new characters or a different story line, I promise.
