*Peter Pans POV *

After Raven flew off, I glanced back to the letter before flying after her.

It didn't take me long to find her. She was sitting at the edge of a small waterfall surrounded by fireflies.silent tears were rolling down her cheeks and her shoulders shook but not a sound came from her mouth.

She was very pretty when she was crying. The tears rolled down her cheeks softly and she made no ugly sobbing sounds.

She hadn't noticed me until I sat down next to her.

"Hi." She said smiling softly.

"Hi." I replied not quite sure of what to say.

"Are you okay?" I finally said.

"I don't know. I'm just so worried about him. I grew up with pirates my whole life. I know what they're capable of. I don't want him to get hurt." She said shaking her head.

"I know. But he'll be fine. Hooks strong. He'll never tell them your secret or who your mother is. Although I would quite like to know that myself." I said looking over to her.

"I don't know who my mother is. I can't remember her. Sometimes I can see blond woman when I really think hard but I don't know. I would love to meet her." She said looking off into the distance.

"Wait so you've never met her. You don't even know her name?" I asked.

"No. I never met her. I mean, I probably met her when I was a baby but I can't really remember that. It's just been me and dad for as long as I can remember." She replied, her face falling from the mention of her father.

"Raven. Listen to me. He will be fine. He is the best pirate there is. I mean, everyone fears him. Well not everyone but you know what I mean. He is basically the king of all pirates. You shouldn't be worried about him." I said placing my hands on her shoulders.

"You don't know what they're capable of. They have ways to make you talk. They take out your teeth one by one. They give you a diet of ships biscuit. They place you in a small room, tied to the wall and put scorpions in with you." She said starting to cry again." I don't want him to get hurt Peter."

I pulled her into my chest and put my arms around her. To my surprise she didn't pull away. She hugged me back. I let her cry silently into my chest for a few minutes.

"It's okay Raven. If you want, I can send some of the fairies to rescue him and keep him safe for a while." I offered.

"I know he'll be okay. I know he's safe. But I worry about how safe you and the lost boys will be when the pirates find out that he's escaped." She said.

"How do you know that he's escaped?" I asked.

"I don't know. It might just be a father daughter bond. All I know is that he's safe. He wasn't five minutes ago but now he is. But what if Andrew does attack you? I don't want to be his wife." She said. I pulled away from the hug slightly.

"Wait, you don't actually love this Andrew guy?" I asked.

"No. He's just a stupid boy who really likes me but I don't return his undying love." She replied rolling her eyes. This made me feel a lot better.

"We're all going to be fine Raven. We have some pretty good fighters among the lost boys and no pirate is going to take you away from us anytime soon." I promised.

"But what if dad decides to do something silly and they actually do hurt him a lot. He may not be in danger now but once he finds out about Andrew wanting to marry me, he's going to go crazy." She said.

"Raven. Hook wouldn't even dream of doing that. He is an amazing pirate with an amazing daughter and he wouldn't dream of letting you get hurt. None of us would. I promised him that I would keep you safe and that's exactly what I plan to do." I said.

Suddenly she looked up at me and I looked dead in the eye. She was so close that I could see every different colour of grey in her eye. It was exactly like the waves of the sea on a stormy night.

"You really mean that?" She said. I nodded.

"Of course Raven. You're the most amazing person ever. You're smart and funny as well as sarcastic. You're not afraid to express your feelings and that's a hard thing to do on a regular basis. Not only that but you're also very pretty. No wonder Andrew fell for you. If he's wants to bring you back against your will to marry him even if you don't love him, then I won't let him because I do love you and I would never make you do that." I said.

Suddenly she leaned over, closing the gap between us and kissing me right on the lips. I didn't pull away. I kissed her right back.

She pulled away after a minute and looked over to me. She had a light blush at the tip of her cheeks.

"Sorry." She said." It's just, I think I love you too but I've denied it for so long that bit just came bursting out all of a sudden."

"Don't be sorry. I should have told you long ago. We can keep it a secret if you want. Or we can pretend it never happened." I said looking at the floor.

"No I don't want that. I think everyone knew it. We were just too blind to see it ourselves. I think they'd be happy that we're finally together." She replied.

"Oh so now we're together. Can I just remind you that we have only just shared our first kiss together. What's next? Do want to get married?" I asked grinning slightly. She laughed a bit.

"Well we don't have to. We could wait and call ourselves an actual couple later on." She said standing up.

"Well now I didn't say that. I was simply implying that you must really love me to already consider me as your boyfriend." I said also standing and walking over to her.

"Well I did. So there." She replied.

"Wait you really mean it. You actually want me to be your boyfriend?" I asked just to double check.

"No actually I was asking that tree. Isn't he just a lady killer?" She said sarcastically.

"if this is your way of saying that I either look like a tree or have the IQ of a lump of wood then I would be honoured to become your boyfriend." I said doing a small bow.

" Well that's not actually what I was saying but that works." She said.

"Okay then. So are we done here because I really need to go to bed. Busy day tomorrow." I said tapping my left wrist.

"Okay. Let's get back. I'm shattered too, to be honest." She said jumping into the air. I jumped up next to her.

"Actually, now that I remember it, I was wondering. Do you by any chance maybe want to accompany me the next time I go to the real world. I promised Wendy and her brothers that I would bring them back. And I also want you to meet them." I asked as we flew back to the camp.

"I'd love to! I've always wanted to see the real world. And I'd get to talk to a person that's not a lost Boy." She replied.

"Well it's settled then. We won't be leaving for another while but ill tell you when we decide go." I said starting to descend.

"Oh and Pan?" She called over to me.

"Yes?"

"Race you back to the den!"
