Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2004 23:54:42 EDT From: J Subject: PETER PAN AND ME part 30 CHAPTER 30: THE LONELINESS OF BEING SETH AND CHASE aka THE LONELINESS OF BEING ME A sword blocked the fire from Peter. The flames hit the metal of the sword and split into the sides. "Peter!" John was there, flying, a spirit. Holding the sword. "Peter, you forgot this!" John threw the sword to Peter, "Catch!" Peter, also a spirit smiled, caught the sword, and swung. The fires around him parted. His hand with the sword tingled and the tingle moved through his whole body. "But John, it's too late!" The zombie Chase came forward and with a knife in his hand cut Peter's backhand. Peter yelped. He looked at Chase. At the me of this future that might happen, betrayed. It was in his eyes. He had been betrayed by his one true love, a feeling I could come to know well in another life in alternate universe, the real world if you will. John called, "No! Peter, you're in an alternate universe! You have to get out of here!" "I'll use my blood to open a vortex. But what about you?" "Oh me?" John was not at all upset for himself, "I can go most places. This is the future that might happen, not what will. If you don't go back, this will happen to the others!" "Time to die!" Seth moved forward with the Lost boy zombies and Chase, also a zombie, came at Peter with a knife in both hands now. "Again!" Peter felt so good now that he huffed and blew the fires out with his breath. John grabbed Peter's arm, "Time for me to teach you how to fly now!" "What?" Peter gasped as he was dragged off. John dragged Peter's spirt out of the hole of the underground house and Seth fumed. Literally. He shot fire out after them but missed. Outside, John dragged Peter through the flaming skies. They saw a New York City on fire, a San Francisco bridge collapsed under melting girders, and more. The entire world seemed in flames here. "That way, Peter!" John gasped. "So that's how I got here!" Peter saw the disembodied head of the Time Guard. "The Time Guard!" "He's still after you!" John yelled, "But you have to go right through him to get back to where you want!" The Time Guard opened his mouth to speak of revenge at Peter but Peter looked at John, his face innocent and scared, like the little boy he was. Then suddenly something came over Peter's face. A look John knew well. A do or die face. A face of pride, and of joy in danger. His forehead furrowed and he smiled an almost evil smile. Then, almost as if to fool John as much as the Time Guard, and maybe even himself, Peter rushed head long at the Time Guard's open mouth. The entity was talking but Peter wasn't listening. He dove straight into the creature's mouth, his bloody hand out, issuing blood from the back of one hand, and found himself in a vortex. "NOOOOO!" Seth in this alternate world screamed and flew out at the skies. John was gone now. He flew back to heaven. "YOU! YOU LET HIM GO!" Seth pointed and his fingernails shot long lines of fire and lightning at the Time Guard and the entity exploded into a million fragments, bursting forth. "NOOOOOOO!" Then this Seth vanished and this world began to change...perhaps into something much worse. Dodging trees left, right, and center, I flew as fast as I could through the Deep Woods area, the green and blue of the hazy Neverland illuminated by red and yellow fires. Overwhelming feelings of panic spread from my chest and heart to my upper neck and lower gut, which was bare to the world. I sped and was not mindful of the trees or rocks that could stop me cold. Something caught my eye on the floor of the forest and I zoomed to it quicker than ever before. It was reddish skinned. It was a dead Native American. He was face up. His chest was ripped open as though by claws. There are neverbears in Neverland but this looked nothing like a bear claw ripping. At least as far as I could tell. I'm no expert. His eyes were open horribly. Staring at the sky. In fear. He was afraid when he died. He had scars o his belly too and his intestines hung out horribly, some missing. I gagged and choked. His hands were clawed as though he was in great pain when he died or fighting to the end. Against something inhuman. I was landed next to him to check him but realized there was nothing to check really. I hovered for a bit and looked at him. I started to leave but turned in the air. He looked familiar. Then it hit me. This was the Native American that almost killed Jennie and I and was somehow stopped by a stare from Seth. I gulped. Seth! Maybe this was him? In even more panic, I took off, leaving the body to the animals of Neverland, those not fleeing the fires. I flew like an arrow at a target. I landed in the Underground house, not even recalling coming through the hole toward it. I breathed heavy. Puffing. There, Seth held a bag. "What's in the bag, Seth?" I gasped, "Open it up!" Seth looked hurt, "What? What's wrong?" "You, you're wrong." I gasped out, "What have you been doing to me? To us?" Seth put the bag down, "It's just...what do you mean?" "I must have been blind not to see it before. It's you. It's been you all the time. Tell me something," I was angry now, "Was it you who killed Peter?" Seth opened his mouth and laughed a hurt laugh, "What? Me?" I heard landings behind me. Feet. Bailey was there with Bo and Barry and Jennie. Bailey said, "What's going on?" "What's going on with you?" I didn't stop staring at Seth, who stared back. Then he floored his eyes. I opened the bag, and saw hammers and wood. "He's helping?" "Of course, he's been a big help. The others are back already," Bailey said, "And started on the ark already." "I found what I could here that we could use for wood," Seth said, "Rather than cut some more trees." I could see the table we used to use in the bag, cut up and wrecked and one of the smaller beds we never used. "Good," I gulped, "Seth, I'm not sure about you any more..." Seth looked up, "You don't think that I...me...could kill Peter?" "I don't know what to think any more, I really don't." Seth looked, "I want off this island. I don't want to be here." He grabbed my shoulders, "That doesn't mean I would act crazy. Peter could have gotten me off easiest. Why would I?" I pulled free of his hands and moved off to face the wall, "It doesn't matter any more. Does it? I mean I don't think we can get you or the animals off in time anyway. The fires are too great. If they don't die out soon, we will." Seth looked at the boys. Jennie looked back into his eyes and saw something human. The human part of Seth. Now most of you, dear readers are probably wondering what the hell it is with Seth. Why he's so conflicted. Well, he is part demon, part human. The dual roles fighting each other, in conflict with each other. He wants to kill. He wants to escape. He wants to be friends. He wants to make Neverland a living hell, he wants to stop the fires. He wants to please his father, satan. Yet his human side wants to fight against his father. His mother was human, named Rosemary. "Let's go help the others." I said, with resolve. We worked all night into day and into night again. On first light of daybreak, I took a break, for we all needed to "do our business" and eat. As I sat there and ate fruit, I admired the boys. Our boys, Peter. The Lost boys. They didn't look so lost now. There was Sole, white bandana around his long blond hair, yet it still flowed. He had a nice vee back. The heat from the forest and the fires were unstoppable it seemed and sweat glistened off his body creating a vast sheen of brilliance. Sole was slim but there was no fat on him at all. Of course, I didn't look upon our boys in a sexual way, but I did notice their artistic merits and beauty. They did so look more and more like Peter every day. And they grew some more. I hadn't taken a measurement in a long time. Sole had tremendous resolve and fortitude and he was not about having fun all the time. In that role, he was more like me. He had these beautiful blue eyes and an innocence both Peter and I never had separately. Together we forged that in him somehow. Somehow Angelic even after all he's seen in Neverland, he also possessed fierce leadership qualities and fairness and hardness all mixed as one bright shining package. There was dark Je'ne, hammering away on the sides of the ark. Slender, tanned, long curly hair which went straight in the smoke. Thick runner's legs. The heat made the boys forego even more of their clothes so they were all but naked. The hot wind blew through his black hair. Brown eyes revealing his determination to make this ark the best it could ever be. He was innocent too, though much more serious about it then Sole. Both were the backbone of the lost boys at the moment and would be for some time to come. Sweat poured over their chests and in between their pecs and downward. Rollin. Frizzy black hair. Black eyes. A bit of baby fat leaving his body as he worked diligently. He brought the others water and food so that they could work almost all the time, non stop. He also pitched in and carried wood to them. Almost non stop. He stopped once to masturbate. But that was Rollin. He had to. He looked so much like a prize fighter now, his muscles bulging from the hard work. He also cut some of the wood too. Just needed to rub his own for a awhile and buckets of cum would flow when he did. Jennie was the nail holder. Cute little Jennie. Something was bothering him. Perhaps it was Peter's death or being gone. Perhaps it was the idea we were leaving Neverland. But would I leave? I was never one to think that the body was the person. The spirit was what counted. And Peter's spirit was not in the ground with that body. Jennie had multi colored hair at the moment, mostly bright golden and a mix of brown and red. He brought nails to everyone. The elephants had pulleys on them and helped lift the boys to needed parts of the upper ark to work. Aoi. Fierce. Perhaps the boldest and best fighter among them. Knew forms of self defense and offense I've never heard of. Peter taught him almost all of it. Short but hard bodied and tight. Smooth like the others but more so. His eyes held the mischievousness of Rollin, the seriousness of Je'ne, and the leadership of Sole. I think he could take on a whole army by himself now. Peter's death made him stronger I think. He had a great set of abs, like most of the other boys but his stood out among even them. And he worked hard. In all manner of that word. Rico. Spanish spit fire. Like Pare. I always get confused as to which one is Mexican and which one is Spanish. Rico was so much like Pare, they might have well been twins. Both built with tight little bodies and smooth hairless ones at that. Fast and quick. Even though they were hairless, for their young age, like most of the Lost boys now, they oozed testosterone, which seemed impossible, for they were not...well, since Peter died, they were growing up, my measurements proved that. They would become men. Maybe it was time to measure them again. Not fast but they were growing. That night, for we worked right into the next night, I measured them again and they had not grown at all. Phew. That was a relief. How old does a boy have to be before they ooze man juices? Before they can cream in their shorts or loin cloths as the case may be? I be darned if I knew. Landen. He worked as hard as the other boys. He gathered what birds he could, for he had Peter's predilection for birds and could get them to do what he wanted. I think, like Peter, he thought he was once a bird, or perhaps Peter convinced Landen that he was once a bird. He helped build too in between helping the animals out of fires and the thick of the smoke. Little blond Landen. I was sure, of all the boys, that he was gay. I hoped he would accept it early on in his life, if and when he decided to grow up. When and if ever he left Neverland. I would try to help him. Help him accept it faster than I accepted my own gayness. Not avoid it, or ignore it or deny it. Or use excuses for it, trying to prove you are gay. Even so, I wanted the best for him, he had a great heart, the softest of the boys, perhaps even more so than Jennie. Bailey. Macho man redhead. I know there are those among you who think redheads are always pale skinny things. Bailey disproves this. He was dark tanned, pale upon first coming from Ireland. Growing up on the streets of hard Northern Ireland left him tough, loyal to his brothers, and yet against religion altogether. He hated religion for it caused wars. He was hard bodied, lean, and I think he must have stole food from a chef, for he only ate the best foods. He and his brothers were very fit. And I do so love their freckles. They don't have many but what they have make them look really cool and handsome. Barry was like Bailey only not as much a tough one. He was a fighter though and would fight alongside any of us. Of the boys, I know Barry and Bo least. Barry I know more than Bo. Bo never says a word. He's electively mute. I try to get to know him more but it's difficult. He smiles at me a lot. And I'm sure he and Jennie talk telepathically to each other, which I'm not sure is a good thing. If Bo is to talk out loud, he needs not to have a backup to rely on. But Jennie means well and the two have become close, almost as close as brothers. It was during these thoughts during that day and early night that Seth brought up, many times, the other problem, "So how are you gonna get the other animals to get onto the ark?" "Now that it's done?" "Yeah, they'll burn before they come to the lost boys, who are used to skinning them." "Yeah but mostly after they've been killed by each other or the Indians or pirates." "Still, the problem exists." "There's another too," I offered, as if I needed another. "What's that?" "None of us have Peter's skill at navigating or sailing a ship." "Oh." Anyway, I prodded Olivveral the fairy boy to get the other fairies who were leaving to fly the ship. The animal problem was solved less easily. Landen came flying to me just as the sun was setting. The ark was done. The fires were spreading and he was in a panic. "Come quick!" I flew up to him, waving to the others to stay and check the ark for any last minute fixes, "What's wrong, Landen?" I tried to sound cheerful but I was tired. "It's Nico!" Landen yelled, "COME ON!" Nico was Wendy's wolf. He was running and as he ran, a flaming tree was falling and the tree was so tall it would fall right on. I saw this and Landen saw this and the flaming tree moved down at him. I didn't hesitate. I flew with my feet out first and kicked the flaming tree, laughed loudly as Peter might have done and diverted the tree away from Nico. It crashed near him, flaming away. Burning more trees. He stopped to look at me. Nico came closer to me, showing fangs. "Easy boy, I just saved your life." "Chase, father, don't let him near you!" Landen called down. Nico came closer and as I bent on one knee he came to me and nuzzled my chin and licked my cheek. Over and over again. I put my arms out and he came into them and I hugged him. I missed my dogs. I loved animals, especially dogs. "Nico...." "Chase, Jennie's here!" Landen yelled, his arm around the little boy. The pair flew down and behind them, was Bo, one of the redheaded triplets. "What? What are you all doing here?" They all landed near us. "They insisted on landing," Landen looked around nervously as if the entire forest were about to fall on us and set us on fire, and perhaps it was. Jennie touched Bo's hand with his hand and they locked fingers. I was puzzled. What was happening? Jennie put one hand on my heart and Bo put his free hand toward the wolf. "Wait, Bo, that's a dangerous and wild animal, go easy..." Bo looked at me and smiled. His smile warmed my heart and I smiled too. This dangerous animal was just cuddling with me. Bo put his free hand on the wolf's under neck. It allowed me and Nico to directly communicate. Bo knew we could not waste time doing it the normal way. As we conversed, Landen turned to see my lion approaching. They were on the path heading for us and to Landen, they looked hungry. He shook with fear, seeing the entire family of lions behind the first one. "Chase!" "Shh, Landen! Wait!" I was intent on studying this new power I was seeing in Bo as well as Jennie's increasing ability to telepathically connect others. I didn't see the lions yet. I looked at the wolf. "Nico, I know that you made a promise to Wendy, when she asked you to. You stayed to watch over Peter. It's why you and the other animals never aged, at least most of them. But you....now that Peter's gone, why do you still not age?" It was my thoughts and my feelings. But Bo was speaking. Jennie was translating and they were being passed to Bo who used his power to communicate with animals. The first time I realized he had this power. Then something amazing. Bo spoke. In Nico's words, "Because Peter lives on in you, Chase. Peter is not dead. He's in your heart and mind and love." I had to take some moments to let it sink in that Bo spoke. I looked at him with love in my heart. "Will you get the animals to come into the ark?" "Yes and we will have help." "Help?" "Hel...help..." squeaked Landen, gulped as he moved and I saw my lions on the path. "Good," I said. "You'll all work together?" "We've done it before." Ahh, yes, when the volcano threatened to erupt and Peter and Wendy took over the Jolly Roger and forced the pirates under Hook to take the animals off Neverland Island. But it turned out the volcano wasn't going to destroy all Neverland. Soon, all the animals, including the Neverwhatever creatures that Wendy could not name, were on the ark and I knew what to do. Putting fingers to my mouth, I whistled. Like Peter. I could not whistle well before. But now...the fairies rose from the mountains, parts that were not on fire and they flew through the nighting sky toward the ark. Massive armada of fairy lights. "Head for the Azores!" I told them and I knew the animals would be safe on the islands where humans would not prowl and the fairies would keep them there. Seeing our ark fly was a sight not to be missed. "All our hard work," Je'ne said, "But Chase...why didn't we go with them?" It was an answer I didn't have. I looked around. "The fires, look. They are dying down." "I wonder why," Landen pondered. "I don't know but we deserve a rest," I said, "We worked two straight days. Time for bed while we have a chance." "Shouldn't we just leave?" Bailey yawned. "In the morning, we'll use one of the hot air balloons," I said. The boys cheered. They loved the hot air balloons. Peter hated flying that way but the boys loved it and he never let them fly in balloons. "Our destination?" Seth asked. "Where ever you want it to be," I said, "Kensington Gardens if you want." "How about Venice?" "California?" "Italy." "Oh." I shrugged. "Why not." "Okay we're going to go to sleep now, Seth. You can..." "I'm going to sleep in my beach base," Seth said. "That's what I was going to suggest," I snorted. "Oh," Seth said. He looked discouraged. "See you in the morning." "Okay," Seth said, looking sad as he moved off, shoulders down. I could tell he was hurt. Genuinely hurt. I didn't know it at the time but he was the reason for the fires and he was the reason for the fires now settling down some more. Something human came from him and something human made him hold the fires back. "Come boys," I put my arms around Jennie and Bo, "Time for sleep." Je'ne looked as the fires abated, "Are you sure we won't be burned alive in our sleep?" "Yeah," I said, "The fires are no place near our house. Or by Seth's..." "I know," Je'ne said. My thoughts as we walked back to the house, yes, we walked, for the sky was so filled with smoke, we had to walk not to choke. My thoughts as we walked, yeah that's what I was saying. You see my narrative may not be that great as I think of the love I lost. And I lost the greatest love of my life. My heart is broke and still is. It will never be the same. Tears are always on the verge of my eyes, tears. I guess what they say, it's better to have loved than to never have loved at all is true but right now it hurts me so much that I can't help but think it might be better and safer to have not loved. To have stayed in that room so long ago that he came to and took me out of. Not that he made me. I wanted to. My thoughts went to Seth. He had no one. I had the Lost Boys. Ironic, since without them I would be totally lost. And I guess they without me. I had come to think of them as sons but more than that, they were my friends. Seth was alone. Totally. I know how he feels. Well, not really. At least in the past I had my family, before Peter. And I had friends. It wasn't the same though. No, to have been loved by someone, even briefly, as Peter loved me, was better. Peter changed me. He made me feel I was worth something. Even if he didn't stick around to love me more. Sometimes I wonder if he didn't love me enough or maybe he didn't love me at all. Did he even know what love was? Is? Did he even think about how I felt? How obsessed I was with him. Am obsessed with him. How horrible I feel. I would have died for him. I wonder if he would have died for me? I was I just the means to another adventure for him? To experiment with? My mind went to Tyler, who seemed to have a crush on both Peter and I at various times. I hoped he and his kingdoms got out alright or maybe the fires didn't get that far. Someone ripped out my heart. I wonder if it was Peter. Was his midnight stroll to death just another way for him to experience a new game? A new adventure? Did he even stop to think about how I'd feel finding him with a hole in his belly. Whenever he got a tummy ache in the past I would rub it till it went away. Sometimes I think he even faked it so I could rub his tummy, which I would have done if he just asked me to, ache or not. I smiled as I thought of Peter and Seth and Tyler. Lonliness makes us do strange things. Boredom makes us do strange things. Say things. Love. What is it? Peter couldn't know what it was, he was just a child who looked like a teen. Teens? What do they know about love? Real love? They say this and they say that but they don't know what they are talking about. They hurt. He hurts me. I hurt. So bad. I feel like dropping down on the burned leaves and just staying there. But then I see Jennie's eyes or Je'ne's concerned looks or Landen's innocence and Sole's bravery and I know I have to go on. I know, thanks to Peter, I am worth something. I just don't know if he knew it. He made me feel. He made me love. And in that way. Yet I don't think he reciprocated it. I don't think he knew how. I don't understand him. I don't understand me. I know tomorrow we will leave Neverland forever and I will leave Peter's body here forever. The thought makes me want to vomit. I hate him. Fine line between love and hate. I hate him for crushing my heart, stomping on it, for dying in the forest in some insignificant fight with...with who? He didn't even die saving my life as I thought he might some day or as I would die for him some day, at least in my thoughts. I wonder if he ever thought about me. If he knew how I felt. How I wanted him to be with me and me with him. In that way. Yes, I admit it. I loved Peter in that way and I'm not ashamed of it anymore. I hate it. I hate when people tell me how to feel. I want him back alive so bad I can taste him in my mouth. His sweet sweat, his sugary breath, his candy like tears, his gorgeous arm pits and his solid, boyish feet. Where are you now? Are you somewhere safe and warm? Are you thinking of me or are you with someone new? Are you sheltered from the storms? Are you in a heaven? I dream of you every night. I think of you every second. I see you in every face of our boys. I want to be like you. I want to be in you. I want to be you. You fucking bastard. How can you do this to me? To us? How can you leave me alone like this? I wish you were here so I could kill you all over again. You mother fucker! I rage at you all the time. I wish I could beat your ass! How could you make me feel like this? I want to cry all the time. Do you, where you are? I bet you are going about your day same as always, regular and all, just going about your heavenly work, not even recalling my name. I bet when we meet again in heaven, you won't even remember me! I wish you were here so I could kiss you all over your body! I love you but you don't love me. You say you do but you don't. When did the change happen from you saying that to you abandoning me. Bored of me? I want to tell you off, to tell you what I think of you and then tell you I never want to talk to you again. I want to have you. In my arms and more. Oh, how I rage. My guts have been torn out like that Indian in the Deep Woods, my eyes have been burnt like some animals that didn't escape the fire, like the Were Forest Trees have been burned. My heart is gone, ripped out and destroyed. I will not be the same. Thanks to you. It's all your fault. You made me love you. Then I stop and calm down. No. No, he didn't. He loved me and I loved him. It's what called him to my room in the first place. He loved me because I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm a lover, an imaginative innocent like him, like Landen, like Jennie, only I'm older. Much much older. But I'm a big kid in a small adult body. Now I'm even smaller in a kid's body. I wondered how old I looked myself now. I certainly didn't seem to fit the bill of 11 anymore. Possibly 12 or 13 or even 14. I hate all of this. Without him, life is meaningless. I loved him so much. And still do. And he just left me and ignored me and now he thinks I'm obsessed and scary I bet. Ahh, that's the Underground House holes. I remember him fitting me for those. "I must now fit you for one of my holes," he said. "WHAT?" "So that you can fit in to my holes." "Excuse me!??" I gasped. "What does that mean?" "You know my stories, don't you? You know what that means?" Of course I remembered but hearing him say it like that. I was turned on. I was turned on now too. I put all the boys to sleep. Jennie and Bo slept in a large basket that used to belong to Michael and the basket was suspended over a small matt by a rope. It rocked gently to put them to sleep as I pulled on the rope. Next to me slept Landen, one arm draped around my chest. His gentle breathing soothed my rage. His cute air coming from his nose and sometimes his mouth graced my skin and made my chills go away. On the other side was Sole, his bigger body tight against mine. Protectively, he too, draped his arms over me. On the other side, past Landen, was Je'ne and Pare and Rico. All bunched together. Turning would be hard tonight. I was hard tonight. Thinking of all these boys. And Peter. Peter did this to me but I must say no one else ever had. Ever. He made me what I am today. What was that? I wondered. I smiled and shut my eyes, hearing Bo and Jennie snoring. Calm boyish moaning. It was very hot this night. And to top it all off a lightning storm started. Perhaps the fires and smoke sent off the clouds into being angry or unstable but a fierce lightning storm hit. The holes, open, made the raging outside, illuminate the underground house. Rain would be nice. The rain buckets poised to move into position would shift gears and catch any rain coming into the house and pour it into the holes that would make it go deeper into the earth. I think the original Twins (also triplets) made these inventions to give water back to the nature of the ground. Instead of flooding Peter's house. My house now. A house I would say goodbye to for ever. I cried quietly. Tears just sprang. My life would end tomorrow when I left this island. This dream scape of nightmares and imagination. But of whom? Of Peter's? Wendy's? Mine? All of ours? Who made Neverland? Who kept it filled with mythical creatures and monsters? Where did the fairies come from? There were still so many unanswered questions. The lightning didn't wake the children but the thunder came and I feared that would wake them. The thunder made me stop crying and take heed. Then I was so miserable and lonely I fell asleep. The storm was over. It was morning. Early. The boys were still all over me. I was still aroused. I eased out from the pile of bodies and moved to my hole and flew outside. The fairy boy was at my hole urging me to follow him. He was tinkling and glowing. Even in the brilliant sunshine I could tell that. Something was up. Outside I flew into a world that was the Neverland of old. No fires. Even the smoke was gone. The brilliant crisp colors flew all around my eyes. It was a joy to behold. I blinked and laughed from the joy that filled the air. I knew the fires were gone forever. I smiled. I flew around and saw no trace of the fires. The Neverland renewed itself. Someone must have dreamed this. I wonder who it was and where they were from. What time were they in? Was it Wendy herself? Was it Peter from the beyond? I had a desire to see his grave. I hadn't been there for some time. I wondered if it escaped the fires. I flung my flight in that direction. The Neverland looked fantastic. The air felt cool but warm at the same time. Comforting. Not stifling hot. I felt like a blanket of protection were around me as I flew. I landed near the grave. Suddenly, the ground there moved and before I could investigate it, it flew up out of the grave and great chunks of rock and stone and dirt just exploded upward in a massive burst of power. I watched and didn't blink as sand and stone and miscellaneous pieces flew at my very eyes. His headstone split in two. A form rose up out of that power and splattering debris and the dirt shook and washed off him, sleek body was moving the dirt away from him of its own accord. And that voice. I knew it well, "I AM PETER PAN! AND I'M BACK FROM THE DEAD!" He flew up into the air and shut his eyes to drink in the Nevernevernever land as it is sometimes called. He was renewed by the flight, he felt great and I stared at him. At his bare feet sailing out of sight. Then I flew up as fast as I could. I could fly fast. And he wasn't flying at his fastest. I smashed into him from underneath and scooped up his body, rubbing my body along his body. I laughed and he laughed. He hugged me. I grabbed at him. I smushed his chest into mine, his stomach met my stomach, both bare. I was hard as hell between us and rose up but I didn't care if he noticed or not. I kissed his mouth, I threw my tongue inside his mouth, he did the same to me. I twirled us in cotton candy clouds. I made us descend, I dipped him back and brought him up again to my mouth. I pressed him close to me, I hugged him, I fell on his neck. I licked him. I kissed his chest, his nipples. He laughed. "Are you just happy to see me?!?!?!?!" "MMFFMFPFFHFFH!" I made us both fall but we were not that far from the ground. We landed in a lush green and yellow grove where giant red flowers opened and closed with gentle wind. Graceful bumble bees filled yellow flowers with honey. They were giant bees but they left us alone. He landed on his feet and almost fell as he knees bent but I fell to the ground. I kissed the top of his feet, I kissed his toes. I forcibly pulled his feet up, one at a time and kissed the bottoms of them. I jumped up to full height and sprang into the air, feet off the ground, and landed down again, on top of him, my arms on his shoulders, I dragged him down with me and he played along. He landed on his back and I kissed his chest, his belly button, licked it out. I bit his nipples. I kissed every inch of his flesh. I stopped everywhere and kissed and kissed and kissed. I made him wet and he made me wet. I licked. I turned him over. I kissed his ass. I kissed everywhere. I humped on his backside. I laid on him. I squeezed him. "Don't ever," I huffed, "Don't ever....don't ever leave me again! I can't let you go again! I FUCKING LOVE YOU!" I tried to meld my body into his, to make us one, to make us a being of one person. I loved him so much I wanted to be him and be in him and he in me. He rolled me off him. "Enough!" He laughed, "Aren't you gonna welcome me back?" I laughed. "What do you want a cake?" Peter smiled, wide-eyed, the power from my love and his love, all be it for himself, was so strong, I felt it in the air. I thought I saw it. It looked like lightning or thick manna from heaven. It manifested itself. I tingled over every inch of my body. Peter rubbed my back bone and kissed it and licked it. I arched my back. I think I cam. "I want more! Enough of this!!!!!!" As I cam, I erupted and I jolted up in bed. I was back in my bed. There was lightning. It was a dream. Sometimes a dream is just dream. "Mother fucker!" I said, "It wasn't real. Peter's still dead.... fuck me!" I leaned over and spied, past Landen's soft forearm, my own belly. It was covered in white clumps of thick cum loads. My navel was filled with the stuff. "Oh shit," I said softly. "Peter....do you know what you do to me..." I didn't want to stir the lost boys. "Peter's still seriously dead. Still serious about being dead..." I sobbed but my chest and stomach moving would make the boys wake up or worse: splay them with my own cum. If I remained very still, it would dry and they might not notice. I'm sure they caught me one or two times when Peter was alive, masturbating. Of course, Rollin knew all about it but I'm not sure the others understood what he and I did, separately of course. Peter would have whipped us good if he caught us doing this adult thing. I laid back and cried silent tears. I fell asleep again. He was dead and not coming back. That much was for sure. But that dream was so real. "No." I gasped, "That's not fair. Not fair. I wish it were real. To lose him again and again in that dream....it's so unfair. Stop. No more dreams..." "Dreams are good." I was asleep again. That was the only explanation. For it was his voice again. The lightning and thunder rambled on. His voice. I sat up, cum dripping down my belly to my crotch. Sticky and making me feel primal. In the faint light of the flashes, I saw a figure there. Shadowy. Hands on hips. Hair glowing red. Eyes glowing red. Feet spread apart. Boyish, manly, macho, and ready to spring to action. Peter. But not Peter. I squinted. "You are just a dream." "No, I'm a nightmare," Peter said and drew his knife and sword, "And I'm going to kill all of you in my house!" TO BE CONTINUED...
