Chapter 23
It has been a few hours since I have seen Peter.
He often appears whenever I go to the woods always taking me on adventures.
I remember the first time we met, I hated him, but now I love him. Although I haven't told him yet.
I decided that I wanted to see Peter and the boys tonight and invite them to a celebration held in my village. I had asked my father if I could go exploring and he agreed as long as I stayed out of trouble.
I nodded as I walked through the path of the woods remembering the trail that Peter told me about as it gave me a shortcut to his treehouse.
After walking for what seemed like hours, I stumbled upon Peter's treehouse. I smiled as I climbed up the ladder and found the door surprisingly open as I welcomed myself now.
My eyes widened.
There were Tigerlily flowers everywhere.
Some were decorated as streams across his ceiling, some were spread around his bed, nightstand, and drawer, and some were shaped into flower crowns as decorations.
So what's where all the Tigerlily flowers went?
Hm.
Then I heard the door open.
" Tiger? " , Peter asked as he saw me glancing at the Tigerlilies as his face turned red.
I turned around and laughed.
" Umm...I...I can explain that. " , Peter said rubbing his neck awkwardly
" I'm guessing that you missed me. " , I giggled
" Umm...yeah. " , Peter said rubbing his neck looking away as his cheek flushed red.
" Well I came to see you. I wanted to invite you and the lost boys to join my people and I in a celebration that we are having tonight. " , I smiled
" Celebration? For what? " , he asked
" Well to celebrate our ancestors' accomplishments and of course the beauty of nature in this island. " I smiled " I just want to invite you and the boys to join us. "
Peter looked sideways rubbing the back of his neck.
" I don't think we should attend the celebration Tiger. " , Peter said nervously " I don't want to cause any trouble. "
" Don't worry Peter. My tribe is very forgiving. " , I said as I held his hand walking up to him.
" I think it's just best if I don't go. " , Peter said
I put my head down and sighed with a frown on my face. Peter came to me and gave me a hug.
" Don't be sad little one. It will be okay. Now go and have fun. " , Peter said as he kissed my cheek.
I slightly smiled and nodded as Peter held my hand.
" Now I am going to teleport us close to your village. Hang on Tiger. " , Peter smiled.
I nodded as I wrapped my arms around his chest and closed my eyes as I felt being in between space and time for a few seconds.
I opened my eyes to see my village before me. I released Peter and then stood next to him as I saw that the sun was about to set.
" Go have fun Tiger. " , Peter smiled as he patted my back.
I nodded and then walked my way back to my village. My village was being decorated for the celebration tonight as performers practiced their routines, the musicians grabbed their instruments, the girls grabbed some of the food and placed it on a table, and the boys continued decorating the village.
The children played with each other catching lightning bugs while I sat on a log staring into the fire as I looked up to the nighy sky and closed my eyes wishing that our celebration would be grand.
I do hope that Peter comes to the celebration.
