As a little girl, I was infatuated with the story of Peter Pan. I'd sit beside the window every night wishing he'd come and take me away to neverland. But he never did. As I grew older, my belief in fairytale and magic faded away and I gave up all hope of ever seeing Neverland. Until tonight.
The window opposite my bed swings open, letting in a large gush of wind which wakes me up. Pulling my blanket around me, I grudgingly walk over to the window, dragging my feet on the cold, wooden floor. The sky's pitch black outside with a couple of stars dotted around, hardly in view. It's silent. I close the window and move back over to my bed, still cocooned inside my blanket. Slowly, I drift back off to sleep.
"Aviana." The voice saying my name, floats softly through my head and out the otherside. "Aviana, open your eyes." I grunt at the continuous disruption of my sleep. It's not until I feel someone's finger tips graze over my own that my body decides to respond. My eyes flutter open focusing on the figure in front of me. It takes a few seconds before my brain puts together what's just happened.
"Don't scream." The dark haired boy in front of me whispers to me as he covers my mouth to stop me. "I'm not going to hurt you." I nod slowly, and he removes his hand.
"How do you know my name?"
The boy laughs. "I know more than just your name Aviana." His eyes twinkle slightly as he speaks. "The question is, do you know my name?"
"Why would I know your name? I've never seen you before."
"No, you haven't. However, you do know who I am. Think."
"Is this a game?" I say climbing out of bed, feeling annoyed.
"Life is a game, Aviana. At least in Neverland it is." His smirk grows as my eyes flash with realization.
"Peter?" I whisper.
"So you do know who I am."
"Why are you here?"
"Why do you think? To take you to Neverland."
Hi! So this is my first fanfic and I'm not very used to writing, so I'm sorry if it's not to good to begin with. I would really appreciate any feedback so I can improve and hopefully it will get better over time. My chapters are going to be longer than this, but I wanted to start with a short one. Also, if you are wondering why Peter is being so un-petery (not a complete dick?) and why he came instead of the shadow it will make sense later on in the story. Thank you so much for reading -Hannah
