Petra's POV

The green smoke slowly disappeared from my sight revealing the dark forest. Devin held my hand tightly and I lightly squeezed it to assure him that everything will be okay. I knew he was afraid to face my brother, but I had to do something about it. I was getting sick of just standing around and allowing Peter to walk all over the boys, it was time for a change in the system.

I squinted my eyes seeing lit torches nearby and I started to walk along the trail with Devin walking by my side. I showed bravery on the outside, but was nervous on the inside. Even though I was his sister, Peter was also Pan. Devin stopped in his tracks as we both arrived at the training ground.

The training ground was just a large open area with surrounded trees. There were targets scattered on the tree barks that were being attacked by the archer lost boys. I saw rows of thick sticks were laid out on the ground surrounding three lost boys who were sharping the end of it. Cornered in the area were a couple of lost boys handling Neverland's posion by one pouring the substance into a jar and the other placing the lid on the jar before tying the rope together and then another boy taking the jar and tossing them in a bag.

" I don't see Pan. ", Devin stated as his blue eyes scanned the traning ground.

" I swear my brother disappears and reappears at random times. It's like he likes to be in control, but usually leaves Felix to watch over you guys. ", I muttered

" Well, it's a good sign that he isn't here. I don't really want to face him. ", Devin mumbled.

" Don't worry about it, love. I have your back. ", I winked at him.

" Thanks. ", Devin slightly smiled at me.

" No problem. Now go on and train for a bit. I will deal with my brother. ", I assured him.

The fourteen year old lost boy saluted at me before scurrying away out of my sight. He approached the boys that were sharperning the sticks and joined them. I smiled slightly seeing the three lost boys asking Devin questions and patting his back.

Then my green eyes lingered upon a group of lost boys divided evenly into partners and attacking one another, but seeing Tootles standing next to Felix caught my attention.Felix stood tall holding his club over his shoulder. His gray eyes watched every boy's movements until he spotted a set of partners, one boy laid on the ground with defeat and the other stood proud and tall with victory. Tootles' eyes widened before he cowered away in fear.

" Your turn. " , Felix snickered before lightly giving Tootles a shove with his club towards the victorious lost boy.

The youngest lost boy slowly approached his opponent before looking up at him. He was indeed a lot older than Tootles and it seemed that he was determined to crush the little lost boy no matter what. The poor boy started shaking slightly when he saw two random boys grab the injured loser from the training area.

" Pick your weapon. " , Felix commanded.

The older lost boy picked out a sharp spear from a row of weapons that were laid out nearby. Tootles slowly walked there and scratched his little head as he examined his choice.

" Hurry up, Tootles. " , Felix said impatiently.

Tootles hesitated before picking out a small dagger as his weapon choice. Felix shook his head as the older lost boy snickered at his opponent.

" First one to fall, wins. " , Felix stated. " Go. "

Tootles panicked when he saw a glimpse of the spear nearly slicing his throat. Thankfully, he moved out of the way and avoided the sharp spear before pointing the dagger at his opponent. But his shaky hands betrayed him when his dagger was easily knocked out of his grip. The sharp spear pointed at his neck.

" Okay, you win. " , Tootles said quickly with his arms raised up.

" Not unless you feel some pain. " , the older boy sneered

I saw him lifting his arm to prepare his strike at Tootles and I took action. I used my magic to teleport me in front of the young lost boy as I grabbed the spear with my hand before it could strike my chest. And that's when all eyes were turned towards me.

A/N: Do you think Petra would be a better leader than Peter to the lost boys?
