Peters Pov

The next few days were spent with Alex dragging us back to the two trees and making us learn new tricks up in the trees. Some of which happened to be running up trees, being able to balance on weak branches, jumping from tree to tree, and the general ways of fighting while balancing on trees type of thing.

I was getting tired of going back to those trees and repeating the same thing over and over again, not to mention that my back has been killing me from the amount of times that I had to play "Trust Fall" and "Air Tag".

The longer I have to put up with all this, the closer I get to just killing her and ignoring how she got here. But I can't kill her, No not yet. If I do then I will never know how people keep coming on to my island without my agreeing with it.

Maybe I should just kill her now and then post a lost boy on the beach so that whenever someone appears, he will kill them for me. Yeah that seems to be a good plan. But wait what if he shows mercy on my unwanted visitors...

No it's too complicated. I'll just wait this one out until she has successfully told me all that I need to know and can finish training the lost boys. I need them to be trained, and just because I worked as a blacksmith at one point, does not mean I am skilled enough to teach them how to fight.

I continued thinking it over in my mind as I ate my breakfast this morning, but the longer I thought, the less I ate, and the more attention I captured.

"Wow, I never thought you would hate me so much that you would actually attempt to starve yourself." Came a voice from behind me. I looked around to find Alex, with her arms crossed, giving me a glare with her Knife in her hand.

"I'm not starving myself, I'm just too busy thinking about something that's all." I replied, eyeing the knife in her hand as she started to approach me.

"Well if you're not going to eat it then I will." She stated and with that, she put her knife back on her belt and grabbed the rest of the bird on my plate and started to eat.

"Didn't you already eat a bird this morning? I asked as she sat down next to me. She stopped eating and glared at me.

"No actually this would be my 3rd piece. Why does it matter?" She asked, raising her eyebrow at me as she spoke.

"I didn't know girls ate that much." I said quietly to myself, but of course, Alex heard me.

"You might find this surprising, but most girls, especially myself, are obsessed with food." Alex stated with a smile. She then continued to eat, completely forgetting that I was sitting right next to her.

"But don't girls worry about their appearance or something like that?" I asked, as I still watched Alex stuff her face with more bird.

She laughed and looked at me as if I was crazy, which I felt pretty uncomfortable about.

"Some do, but the ones, like myself who don't give a damn about what they look like, don't care and decide to enjoy themselves with food. Now why are you asking me all these questions? I didn't think you found girls interesting?" She asked, eyeing me as she spoke.

"I don't find girls interesting, you got that right. In fact, I hope soon you will be able to finish these lost boys training so that you can leave. That is, of course, when you also tell me how you got here." I replied and turned to face her again.

She ate the rest of her bird that was in her hand and then stood up with a smile on her face.

"Oh no problem there Pan, we are starting something new today, so I will be out of here in no time. As for how I got here, I guess you will have to wait a little longer." She said with a smile.

Then she grabbed her whistle and blew it, alerting all the lost boys that it was training time.

"All right boys, since it seems that I have taught you all I know on how to climb trees, we are starting a new section of training." She called out as the lost boys circled her and listened. I stood up and joined the circle listening as she spoke.

"Since I have received multiple near-death experiences here so far involving Knives, I think it is time that I teach you all the proper way to kill someone with a Knife." She called out, walking around the circle as she spoke.

When she mentioned the bit about almost getting killed my knives she happened to be glaring at me as she spoke.

"Everyone pick a knife and head over to the old oak tree over there!" She demanded, sending all the lost boys running to get their knives and form a line.

This is going to be a fun lesson I thought.

Alex POV

As soon as the lost boys ran to grab their knives, I walked over to the tree and with my knife; I carved a big target on the tree. Hopefully Pan won't mind me destroying one of his trees I thought.

Actually, screw it I don't care if he gets angry about that. In fact, I hope he gets pissed off. I thought, making me smile as I thought of Pan throwing a tantrum. Like that was ever going to happen though...

As soon as I had finish carving the target, All the Lost boys were in a few lines facing the target.

I was about to walk over to the first in line so that he could throw the knife, but then an idea sprang into my head.

"Hey Pan." I called out, looking for him in the lines. He looked up, at the back of the second line at me, with a questionable expression on his face.

"What?" He replied."

"Come stand by the target for me, the boys need some motivation in order to throw correctly." I asked with a small smile showing on my face.

I saw him look at me a little annoyed but he obeyed, surprisingly, and stood in front of the target, making his head just reach the top of the second ring.

I then turned to find Slim, one of the lost boys, to be standing first in line with his knife.

"Alright Slim, I want you to Aim for Pan." I asked walking right next him. He looked up at me with a worried expression on his face.

"I can't hit Pan!" He replied with a little outrage. I shrugged.

"Fine, Pan get off the target. I will be the target, and you will have to aim for me." I replied. I turned to see Pans face show a happy surprise look.

I walked over to the target and positioned myself to be exactly in front of the target.

"Shoot!" I ordered.

Slim pulled back his knife, about to throw it, and just by looking at his stance, I knew it was not going to hit me.

The knife went flying and landed right by my leg.

I walked over to Slim and as I did so, I saw slim slowly back up, probably thinking I was going to kill him.

"You hold the knife wrong and well you're holding yourself wrong as well." I stated, grabbing hold of his shoulder and making his look right at the target. I gave him one of the knives on the ground and made his shoulders parallel to the target.

"When you are drawing back the knife, to throw it, put all your weight on your back foot and hold the knife by the sharp end. You will have more control that way." I stated. He did as he was told, but I saw him avoiding eye contact with me.

He's nervous.

"Ok so when you throw the knife, step through the throw, and when your weight is all the way to the front, let go of the knife." I instructed. I saw him nod, and I stood back.

"Go" I spoke quietly and I watched as he changed his balance forward and threw the knife, but instead of landing on the target, it landed in the dirt. I rolled my eyes.

"You missed a step, do it again, and this time, don't let your nerves take over." I demanded. I saw him shake his head and try again. The same thing happened.

I was starting to get frustrated so I told him to keep doing it until he had at least hit the target and grabbed another lost boys arm, and made him stand in front of the other tree that I had set up.

I kept making lost boys go to a tree and try throwing the knives so that all I had to do was watch. But the more I watched, The angrier I got. All of them seemed to be throwing their knives like wimps, with barely any force, causing the knife to hit the ground.

I saw another lost boy miss the target for the eleventh time in a row and that set me off.

"Alright you idiots stop and gather around me." I called out as I grabbed the set of Knives by Chuck's tree.

"You all seem to have the worst throwing arm that I have ever seen. Like literally, I am sure a ten year old girl could throw better then all of you right now." I yelled. I was obviously pissed off, and by the looks that the lost boys were giving me, they were all freaked out.

"You obviously did not watch my instructions clear enough to be able to throw properly. And so now I will have to demonstrate." I yelled. I then walked to the furthest tree to my right and turned around to face them.

"Most of you just suck at throwing in general!" I yelled and at the word Suck, I threw the first knife at the target, making the knife hit the middle perfectly.

"And then some of the others are just such wimps that you are too afraid that the knife with hurt you!" I yelled as I walked over to the second tree and with the next Knife, I threw it at the word you, making it hit the middle again.

I walked over to the next tree.

"And don't get me started on how lazy most of you are when you try to throw!" I yelled and again I threw the knife at the word Lazy and kept walking just as the knife hit the target, again in the middle.

"And you all expect to be the most feared on this island, but you all can't even throw a knife perfectly!" I yelled again and threw my knife at the next tree.

I then turned back to the lost boys and I saw that they were all close together, staring at me in surprise, as If they have never seen a girl rant over something like this before.

"If you all want me to teach you, then you better

*Throw a Knife*

not

*threw another Knife*

mess

*Knife thrown*

with me!"

*Threw knife*

I yelled glaring at them. My four Knives were planted in the tree right behind all of the lost boys and were all just a little above the heads of the lost boys that were leaning on the tree. One of them happened to be Pan.

"Now get back to your tree and throw those knives correctly, or so help me, I will make you stand in front of my target so that I could get some practice done!" I yelled and after I finished the lost boys ran to their targets...

And let's just say,

I didn't have any trouble with them

Again that day.
