Chapter 44

Rae's POV

I sat on a log near the dead campfire and watched everyone hustle back and forth to prepare for the celebration tonight.

Scott had taken some of the lost boys with him to hunt for food lurking in the dark woods. Petra was putting on streamers and little decorations to hang up on tree branches with the help of Felix's height. Other lost boys stayed behind to prepare for themselves.

I like being in charge. I could get use to this.

" Rae. We have a problem. " , Devin said as he approached me with him tangled up in colorful streamers.

" I think that's your problem. " , I giggled.

Once Petra finished hanging a decoration, she patted Felix's head as a sign for him to bring her back down as she got off his shoulders.

" Devin, you are suppose to sort out the streamers. That's all I had you do! " , Petra groaned.

" I was doing that. But then I got stuck and it kept getting worse. " , he whined.

" You had one job. " , Petra muttered before taking one loose streamer and pulling it.

That caused Devin to spin round and round until all of the streamers fell to the ground. That left him wobbling while he held his head.

" You...could have warned...me. " , Devin grumbled.

Petra pulled Devin to her side and shook his shoulders to get him back in place. She placed her hands on the side of his head and smiled before kissing his forehead. Her hands glowing green before it faded away.

" Better? " , she cooed.

" Much better. " , Devin smiled before he hugged her tightly.

I shook my head at Petra's patience and spoliation with Devin.

" Now go help Felix with the rest of the decorations. " , she ordered.

Devin saluted at her before running off to where Felix was.

Little rascal.

" Everything looking good, Captain Jones? " , Petra asked with a smirk.

" I'm not a pirate. " , I rolled my eyes.

" Aye, but your brother is one. " , Petra pointed out before ruffling my hair.

I smacked her hand before fixing my black curls.

" Hey, is it just me or do you think my brother was acting weird back at the cages? " , she asked me.

" Peter sounded fine. " , I shrugged.

" Rae, I need you to open up a bit. This is Peter Pan, the most feared villian that we are talking about. " , Petra cooed like I was a little child.

" I know. I'm dating him. " , I retorted.

" Listen, I think Peter is up to something because I know for a fact that he wouldn't be so calm when a prisoner escapes. " , Petra pointed out.

I frowned and played with my hands nervously.

" Well maybe, Peter just wants to relax like he said. He has been through a lot for the past couple of days. " , I reminded her.

" I know that! But something just doesn't feel right. " , she said narrowing her eyes at me.

" Don't you dare look at me. " , I huffed with crossed arms.

" Find out, Rae. You are smart girl. " , Petra stated.

" Why me? You are the sister! " , I groaned.

" Because he will sense me easily. " , Petra whispered lowly. " Go to Skull Rock and find out. "

She quickly handed me a pouch of pixie dust and folded my hands to keep the pouch safe.

" Remember. Think happy thoughts. " , she winked at me.

" I'm afraid of heights. " , I mumbled.

" You won't fly that high. Just don't look down. I will take care of things in camp. Just go find out what Peter is up to please. " , she said worriedly.

" Very well. " , I sighed before I stood up.

" Good. " , Petra smirked.
