Neverland (Peter Pan Twist:) discussion

A huge mountain that is right in the middle of Neverland. When a child is on top of Neverpeak Mountain, he or she can see over anyone and anything and can see beyond belief.

Tessa started useing low branches to swing to the top of the mountain.

Atwood followed, using a similar technique. Except he kept falling, slipping and tripping, his black eye not letting him see as right.
"Wait up" he called to Tessa.

Tessa held onto a branch, and waited "Maybe you should go in front At."

"No" Atwood panted, catching up.
"No... I'm fine. You go ahead" he grabbed on to a branch to catch his breath.

Tessa went behind him "You need more help then me At." She glanced at her shoulder. It was still stiched up.

Atwood stopped breathing heavily.
He pointed ahead.
"You. Go. Now" he swallowed.
"Please?"

Tessa rolled her eyes but went ahead of him.

Atwood climbed along with her. The steeper it was, the weaker the branches. Atwood almost fell off a couple of those. But he wasn't known for falling off of trees. Not at all.

Tessa jumped from branches and stopped at a leadge and sat down waiting.

Atwood took a deep breath. He caught up to Tessa. He sat next to her.
"It's my eye's fault" he said, seeming embarrassed.

"I told you to go ahead of me." Tessa said said looking at him and shrugging the backpack off.

"Who would have caught you if you fell?" Atwood breathed, shaking his backpack off as well.

"A tree." Tessa said looking at him. "And I would have dived after you if you started falling."

Atwood sighed shaking his head.
"Well... never mind" he said quietly. He looked down at Neverland quietly.

Tessa looked up instead. "Would you like to stay here or keep climbing?"

Atwood shook his head.
"Let's keep climbing" he said quietly, standing up.

Tessa put the bag on again with a wince. She pointed for him to start climbing first.

(( Back! Shower... ))
Atwood sighed. He shook his head.
"I'm fine Tess" he gave her a kind smile.

((Ok))

"Go." She said pointing.

Atwood took a step closer. He tried to do what she tried earlier: look really cute. He gave her a sweet and honest smile.
"Tess... trust me, please" he said quietly, taking another step closer.

Tessa sighed and looked up at him. "Be happy I love you." She said before she started climbing again.

Atwood smiled to himself.
"I am..." he said, climbing after her.

Tessa loooked down with a smile and stuck her tounge out.

Atwood grinned and went cross eyed, not knowing what else to do.

Tessa laughed and kept climbing.

Atwood smiled and shouldered his bag. He continued to climb. Then he spotted a tree around their path. It was huge and strong looking. But Atwood's eyes, a nature expert's eyes, spotted the tree's flaw. The branches, especially the bottom ones, where a bit hollow. Given, a weak tree. Not very many people would be able to spot that kind of flaw in a tree.
It must have been really old...

Tessa grabbed a branch of the tree. She swung quickly hearing it crack. She landed on her hands and knees a few feet away. She smiled than started climbing again.

Atwood's heart had skipped a beat. But it was back to normal then.
"Oh yes! Do not swing on that tree again, please?" he said to Tessa.

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't." Tessa said back.

"You'll fall on your bum, slide away and die" Atwood said, taking her hand and looking into her eyes with his pale grey ones.

"No." Tessa said "I'd grab a tree." And with that she started climbing again.

Atwood watched her closely and carefully.
He continued climbing behind her.
Then they reached the top. He dropped his bag and took a deep breath. The view was even better than the one from that tree Atwood usually went to, to be alone.

Tessa smiled and looked over Neverland. You could see all that and more.

Atwood sat down and pulled a bottle of water from his bag. He handed it to Tessa.
"Go ahead and take a drink" he smiled.

Tessa shook her head smiling. She wasn't even paying attention to him.

Atwood put the bottle down. He looked down at Neverland again and took a melancholy deep breath. He was really going to miss views of the place like that...

Tessa lost her smile hearing him. She wrapped her arms around herself, and looked down but making it look like she's still looking at the veiw.

Atwood glanced Tessa's way.
"Are you cold?" he pulled off his dark jacket, draping it over her shoulders. It was a bit cool, being so high up in a mountain.

"Humm?" Tessa asked she became lost in thought.

((Wait you guys are going back to the main land?))

Atwood kissed her cheek.
"Never mind" he smiled, straightening his jacket on her.

Tessa smiled looking at the jacket. She leaned into him slightly "We did it At."

(( I dunno... ))

Atwood grinned.
"Yeah... after a couple of these" he held up his scratched up hands.
"But we did..."

((*shruggs*))

Tessa smiled wider. "You didn't have to come."

"I like adventures" Atwood shrugged, looking down at Neverland again.

"You don't like leaving me alone." Tessa muttered even to quite for him to hear.

Atwood sat down, pulling her down with him.
"Let's take some rest... a long rest" he said, searching for something in his bag.

Tessa sat next to him lost thought.

"You seem... I dunno. Are you okay?" Atwood took her hand in his.
