Peter's POV
I stood in front my sister's door that led to her bedroom. I couldn't decide between confronting my actions and apologize or walking away.
What to do. What to do.
" Hi Peter. " , the youngest lost boy approached me.
I raised my eyebrow in confusion. All of the lost boys knew that it was against one of my rules to call me by my first name. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath trying to remain calm.
" Hello Toodles. " , I said in a somewhat calming voice. " Remember that you are to call me Pan. Not by my first name. "
" Why? " , Tootles asked with curiosity.
" Because it's one of my rules. " , I stated.
" You have too many rules, Peter. You need to loosen up a bit. Maybe instead of training all day, we could have fun for once. Just dump your ugly girlfriend and hangout with us. " , Tootles said bluntly.
My eyes widened at his response before my fists clenched in anger. How dare he disrespect my name and Rae? How dare he?!
I knelt down to Toodles' level and grabbed him by the collar. My green eyes meeting his gray ones.
" Listen Tootles. " , I said slowly in a warning tone. " I don't care if you are the youngest of my lost boys because I will not allow you to get away with your behavior. "
" You can't punish me. " , Tootles said bravely.
" Watch me. " , I sneered.
Tootles smirked before his eyes glowed purple. My eyes widened seeing the same glowing eyes that Devin had yesterday. What the heck is going on?!
" HELP! HELP! " , Tootles cried out.
" I didn't even do anything! " , I snapped.
Tootles waved his hands over himself as bruises appeared on his face and arms. I crunched my eyebrows in confusion once again.
My sister's door opened revealing Scott and Petra. Their eyes widened seeing the fake Tootles with fake brusies displayed everywhere. Petra and Scott glared at me coldly.
" Petra! Scott! You have to help me! This thing isn't Tootles! He is fake! " , I exclaimed.
" You expect me to believe that? You punched him and probably slapped him, Peter! How dare you lay your hands on Tootles? " , she snapped.
" He disrespected me! " , I agrued.
" Tootles would never disrespect you! He is your youngest lost boy and you dare treat him like dirt! " , my sister yelled.
Scott pushed past me harshly before he knelt down to hug the fake Tootles. The fake Tootles cried on Scott's shoulders hugging him tightly as Scott held him close and stroked his hair gently.
" You are such a jerk, Peter. I'm sick of your excuses and harsh treatment to me, Rae, my boyfriend, and the lost boys. You don't deserve to be a leader. " , my sister spat before she pushed me past me to comfort the fake Tootles.
My jaw dropped at this moment. I couldn't believe that it happened again. I swear something fishy was going on and I was getting blamed. It was like somebody was against me and was trying to get everyone against me.
I needed some time to figure this out.
Alone.
I walked away leaving the scene with Petra and Scott comforting the fake Tootles. Then I saw Rae standing a few feet from where it all happened. Her arms crossed across her chest before she shook her head at me.
" Rae. It's not what you think. " , I said quickly.
" I hope not. " , she sighed.
I looked around before quickly approaching Rae. I held her hands before leaning her forehead against mine.
" Love, I want you to know that there is something fishy going on in this island. I mean don't you think it's weird that yesterday Devin just popped out of nowhere and then I saw Tootles just appearing near Petra's door. There is no ladder to use to get to Petra's door! " , I whispered.
My girlfriend narrowed her blue eyes at me. Her eyebrow crunched like she was trying to figure out if I was lying, but there was no trace of lies in my words. She frowned before she ran her fingers down my arms gently.
" I don't know, Peter. I mean Devin roams around the woods a lot and maybe Tootles climbed a tree to get to Petra's door. Not to mention that you insulted me, Petra, and Scott. I don't know what you want me to believe. " , Rae sighed.
" I want you to believe that this is an act, Rae. Something isn't right. I can feel it. Devin and Tootles had glowing purple eyes when they realized that tension was in the air. I mean I felt an unknown presence indicating a visitor and I haven't him or her yet! " , I exclaimed throwing my hands up because I was frustrated.
Rae's ocean eyes widened at my words before she pulled my arms down and gently rubbed my arms. I took a deep breath before sighing.
" Rae, I need to figure this out. Whether you believe me or not, I need to keep my rank as a leader before Scott takes it away from me. " , I mumbled sadly.
" We will figure this out. " , she whispered softly. " I'm sorry for being terrible to you earlier. Let's just accept our apologies and figure out who is trying to take away your pride. "
" Are you just saying that to make me feel better? " , I asked raising my eyebrow.
" No. I just need my boyfriend back because staying with Petra and Scott can get noisy if you know what I mean. " , she giggled.
" I'm lucky to have you. " , I smiled at her.
" Me too, Peter. " , Rae smiled back. " Now let's go figure out what act is taking place. "
A/N: Something is indeed fishy and the suspense is kicking in because nobody knows who is the visitor is or why the glowing purple eyes that Peter sees.
Let's all appreciate Rae's level of patience with Peter 👏🏻
I hope you all are liking this story 🙂
