As we walked through the portal, Lexian smirked.
“I didn’t expect to return to Neverland so soon,” Lexian almost laughed.
“It the first place that you saw Anamx running,” I answered. “If we can find a clue to where he is running then it will make things easier on us both.”
“Yes, sounds logical,” Lexian answered, “But then again if we run into Zero there will be a confrontation.”
“Yes, but if we continue to even search for Anamx then we are headed into a confrontation.”
“True enough,” Lexian answered.
As we walked inwards on the island, suddenly the air became very quiet.
“A trap,” Lexian said.
“Yes,” I answered. “Come out whoever you are or I’ll make this island burn to the ground!”
Lexian somewhat sighed and then smacked his forehead.
“That is not what I had in mind,” he said.
Suddenly one of the lost boys appeared. He was in a fox suit. I couldn’t remember his name and really Didi’t want to….He stared at me and then turned and went running.
“Should we?” I asked.
“Why not,” Lexian answered.
We both ran after the boy and all the way back to that secret tree where Peter Pan and the other boys were.
“Ah Lexian!” Peter said quickly flying over happily. “What brings ya back? And with……Triskix could that possibly be you? Haha it is you. 0_e wow you’ve gotten older…..”
I stared at him and tried to stay focused. Lexian started the conversation.
“Peter remember when I ran after the boy and had to leave?” he started.
Peter nodded.
“Well I lost the boy and we were wondering if you had seen him again…..” Lexian finished.
“Nope haven’t seen him,” Peter answered crossing his arms.
All the lost boys were playing, but then stopped and became very silent listening in.
“Peter, are you lying?”Lexian started.
Peter gave Lexian a sheepish look. Lexian sighed again, and I glared at Peter. A fire sparked and three of the lost boys scrambled to put it out. Lexian gave me a look and I just shrugged. We both looked at Peter who now had the expression of a kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar.
Suddenly Tinkerbell came flying around and sat at Peter’s shoulder. Lexian and I waited as Tink said something or other to Peter. I snapped my fingers and a flame started on the ground. One of the boys started yelling and ran off to get water. Peter noticed and grew somewhat pale.
“I will have order Peter. That hasn’t changed. And right now my order consists of you telling us where Anamx is,” I said caustically.
“O…..ok fine…..” Peter said averting his eyes a bit. “Yes the boy from before is here…..but you have to keep it a secret! And you have to help him!”
Lexian and I exchanged a glace. Ya we would help him…..after we got the memories back….Lexian nodded, and Peter smiled.
“Ok he’s in the house….come on!”
The boys entered first, then peter, then Lexian, then me. As I walked in a memory of Lexian and I playing in here a long time ago came to mind. I shoved it away quickly.
“Do you two remember the fun we had here?” Peter asked. “Both of you were just kids heh….it was so much fun finding the treasure and playing with the Indians....I wish you could have stayed that way…..”
“Peter, nobodies like us grow up,” Lexian answered. “There is no way around that since we were created as children.”
“Yes I know,” Peter answered. “But you could have stayed here and stayed kids forever.”
I sighed and Lexian smacked his forehead.
“We have a home to go home to.” Lexian answered. “Castle Oblivion.”
“Ya but after the fall I thought maybe you would come here,” Peter answered.
“Stop now,” I said irritated. “No more of that. Where is Anamx?”
Peter sighed and knocked on a wall five times. The wall came forwards and a very pale child fell out of it. He looked straight at Lexian and I and backed straight up ageist the wall.
“Peter! Why! I thought you said I was safe here!” Anamx said trying to get back behind the wall.
“Anamx, these guys just want to help….right Lexian right Triskix?” Peter said giving Lexian and I a quiet look.
“Yes,” I answered. “We just have a few questions.”
“No! Stay away!” Anamx said his voice growing higher. He tried to back into the wall more as if he hoped to faze into it.
“Enough,” Lexian said stepping forwards and grabbing Anamx around the wrist. “I want to know now. Why did you take our memories?”
“Stop! Stop! No!” Anamx yelled.
Peter gave me and Lexian a shocked look. Anamx screamed and tried to pull away, but Lexian's grip was firm.
"No! I don't want to die! No!" Anamx screamed more. His high pitched voice was incorrigible.
"You won't die you'll just answered the questions and give back our memories," Lexian answered.
"No! No! Death! No!" Anamx yelled.
"Stop yelling," Lexian ordered.
"PETER! I don't want to die! Peter save me!" Anamx yelled.
“Lexian this isn’t the place,” I said looking around as the lost boys tensed in fear and waiting to attack. “All of you! Leave. This is a private matter. Even you Peter. We have to do a few things….”
“Lexian....Triskix stop…..” Peter said his voice growing. “I didn’t have this in mind! STOP! He’s just a kid!”
"I don't want to fade! Peter!!!!!!!!" Anamx yelled.
"What did he do to desrve...." Peter started. "He's just a kid!"
“A kid that took something from us,” I answered. "A kid we'll deal with Peter. Now leave."
This was not going well.
“Stop! Stop! I’m sorry! Stop! Let go! PETER!” Anamx yelled.
“Give them back,” Lexian growled. “Give them back now!”
Peter and the boys rushed forwards, but I put up a wall of blue fire.
“That fire won’t burn, but if you touch it you’ll die,” I glared. It was a bluff but enough to keep them at bay. Anamx continued to struggle away from Lexian, but soon it became apparent that Lexian was not about to let go. Anamx finally relaxed, and Lexian stopped yelling.
I looked at Peter and the boys. Their faces had a mixture of shock and fear.
“Lexian….Triskix…..you’ve changed….” Peter said quietly. “You’ve changed……”
