hello! I hope that you'll like this. It's my first try of Once Upon A Time story. So let me know about your thoughts.

Peter Pan was quite interested in the ship, that brought two men on Neverland in search of Dream Shade. He wondered around the ship, being careful to not get under the eyes of other sailors. When he reached quite close to the captains quarters, he noticed a man standing next to the door. With one flick of his wrist, the man fell into a deep dream.

The boy took himself the liberty to step inside, and look around. His eyes searched for something that needed a somebody to stand by the door. His eyes fell on the small bed under the window and he noticed a figure. With every step closer, he could tell that the figure was a sleeping girl, at the young age of sixteen.

She had long wavy brown hair that framed her heart-shaped face. Her button nose looked cute with the small and faint freckles that reached to her round cheekbones. The girl lips were parted as she breathed out. Her brows here slowly sliding together as she frowned in her sleep and turned around in bed.

Her hands were in fists and she was pulling her body into a ball. His eyes fell on the small scar on her forehead, that made him to reach his hand out. Before he knew it, he was running his fingers gently over the scar. Peter wanted to take the girl with him, to keep her as a price, but he knew that he couldn't , because the captain Jones would be looking for her.

He needed a plan. A good one.

A young girl stepped on the deck and ran over to the two men that had arrived. "Papa. Uncle. You're back." she cheered and jumped to hug them both. Her father held her in a hug and she soon pulled away from them. "Is everything alright? You seem to be troubled, papa.. uncle."

"Everything is fine, my sweetheart." her father, Killian Jones, spoke and kissed her forehead. "We shall leave right away and soon, you'll be back at home." he pulled away and smiled at his beautiful daughter.

"My home is where you two, my family, are." she smiled and held their hands. "No house, ship or cottage shall be my home if you are not there with me." her words sent warmth to their and crews hearts.

A sudden chuckle made them all to jump and look at the captains bride. Her eyes fell on a boy, who looked rather handsome. His eyes were fixed on her, taking in her choice of clothing. Black leather pants and boots, white shirt and black corset vest.

"We wished to pay you, boy.." the girls father took a step forward.

"For what?" she questioned and raised her brows.

The boy eyed her and turned to Killian "I have found something interesting and close to my liking on this ship.. or correct way to say is someone." His eyes were back on the girl, who raised her grows and pushed her curls away.

"No!" both Jones men snapped and pushed her behind their backs. The boy disappeared suddenly. The brothers were surprised, but jumped when they heard a familiar squeal. When they turned around, their eyes fell on the boy who held the girl. "Echo." her father took a step forward, but was pushed away by magic.

"Remember.. magic comes with a price. And she is the price of the life of your brother." boy's chuckle made the girl to shiver. Her hands were locked behind her back, but soon they were free as he snaked his arm around her small waist. "I saved your uncle's life.. I showed your how to save him from Dream Shade.."

"Papa? Is that true? Did uncle Liam really almost die?" Echo choked on her tears that were forming in her crystal blue eyes. When she tried to take a step forward, Peter pulled her back against his chest. He slowly started to fly up the air. "No! No! Papa! Uncle Liam.." the girl reached for her father, but it was too late.

"Echo! ECHO!" both men screamed her name, but there was absolutely nothing they could do, because Peter Pan made the wind to blow their ship away, holding the sobbing girl against himself.

He leaned closer to her ear, tightening his grip around her waist "Hush, Echo.. everything is going to be okay. You'll love Neverland.. not hush.. sleep." She wanted to fight, fight with the sleepiness, but soon her eyes fell shut and she yawned slightly before her head fell back on his shoulder and she was in deep dreams.

Echo Jones opened her eyes and looked at the wooden ceiling. She knew right away that she wasn't in captains quarters on the ship that was under her uncles command. And then, she remembered everything.

A loud hiccup mixed sob escaped from her lips as she turned on her left side, curling up in the hammock. She wrapped her arms around her knees and sobbed into the soft white pillow. After hour of crying, the tears ran out and she pushed herself on her feet.

After a minute of standing, she wiped her tears off and looked around. The room wasn't much. A table with two chairs, an armchair, shelves with books and.. things. And a chest, which probably held some clothing.

With a biting of her lip, she turned to the door, ready to leave, but it flew open and the boy who had kidnapped her, stepped inside. He smirked at the girl, clapping his hands together. "Good, you're awake. Finally. Took you long enough, three days.." he spike cheerfully and walked closer.

"Wh.. who the hell are you?" she spoke in a snap push voice and when he took a step forward, she stepped back. "Do not even think about coming closer." her voice was shaking in fear and it also was revealed in her eyes. The boy smirked and took few last steps, coming too close for her liking.

She raised her hand and slapped him across his right cheek. As hard as she could. His head jerked to the side and he chuckled darkly. Very darkly. He rubbed his cheek as he looked at the girl "You got fire.." The girl backed against the wall. He stepped closer and pressed her against the wall. "I like fire." his voice was a whisper as he leaned close to her ear, brushing her hair away.

"Do not touch me.." her voice was a cold hiss, hiding the fear.

His chuckle sent chills down her spine as he backed away, towards the door. "Welcome to Neverland, Echo Jones. The name is Peter. Peter Pan." his light laugh stayed in her head after he had left. She was stuck. On Neverland. Probably forever.
