CHAPTER 1: WELCOME TO NEVERLAND
Elsa sprinted through the forest in the black of night, only looking back to see the massive wave of shadows chasing after her. There was a bright light at the end of the path that kept getting farther and farther away the closer she got. She looked back petrified as the shadows started to catch up with her. As she ran she left a trail of ice that spread across the entire path only to be consumed by the shadows soon after. She wasn't looking where she was going and lost her footing, She stumbled forward almost five feet and stopped on her stomach. She turned herself so she was on her back and looked straight up at the tsunami of blackness above her. The wave dove down at her ready to swallow her whole when...
"Ahh!" Elsa yelled, sitting up in her bed.
It took a second for her to realize that it was a dream. She relaxed and looked at her trembling hands. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and fell back onto her pillow.
"A nightmare." She said to herself.
She sat up again and opened her palm and a snowflake of pure ice appeared. The top half was a magnificent blue however the bottom half was a pitch black. She was startled then was shaken from that feeling after she heard a knock on the door and a familiar voice.
"Elsa?" Someone asked.
It was Anna. Elsa didn't know what to do. She didn't even have time to think because Anna opened the door anyway. The first thing that she saw was the blue and black snowflake.
"What happened?" She asked.
Anna took a seat next to her older sister.
"I had a nightmare." Elsa said.
"And your fear went into your powers." Anna finished.
"This isn't the first time. It happened a few weeks ago when I saw a woman in a black robe."
Anna's eyes widened then she looked in a different direction.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Elsa asked.
Anna diverted her eyes.
"No. Why do you think that?" She asked innocently.
She looked back at Elsa who had an eyebrow raised.
"Ok ok. I saw her too. A few weeks ago when I went to go look at the stars." Anna admitted.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Elsa asked.
"You'd never believe me if I just went up to you and said hey Elsa some random lady in a black robe came and attacked me." Anna said.
"Well when you put it like that of course not." Elsa said back.
Elsa turned her attention back to the snowflake. She closed her eyes and remembered what the voice had told her.
"Believe." She thought.
The black color at the bottom started to fade and Anna watched in amazement as the snowflake disappeared.
"How did you do that?" Anna asked.
Elsa reopened her eyes and closed her hand.
"I just believed I could."
Anna was about to say something but she was cut off by Kai's voice from the other side of the door.
"Your Majesty breakfast is ready." Kai said through the door.
"Thank you Kai. I'll be right there." Elsa said back.
They heard Kai's footsteps become distend from the doorway and Anna stood up, stretched, and yawned.
"What time is it?" She asked mid yawn.
Els looked up at the analog clock at the other side of her room.
"10:00" She answered.
"It's so early." Anna complained.
Elsa waved her hand and her night gown was instantly switched to her signature ice dress.
"I thought you'd be hungry at this time." Elsa said.
Anna's stomach grumbled on cue and scratched the back of her head.
"Ok. I guess I am hungry." Anna admitted.
The two of them walked down to the large spiral staircase and into the dining room only to find the platters and trays already out and everyone was sitting in their places.
"There you are. You slept late." Rapunzel said stuffing her face with food.
Anna quickly sat down and stared to scarf down her food while Elsa took her time. Normally Elsa would sit at the head of the table and everyone else would sit on the sides, then Dargo would sit at the other end but he was no where to be found.
"Where's Drago?" Elsa asked.
"He told me he had to go somewhere but I don't know all the specifics. Knowing him he probably went somewhere dark and creepy." Kristoff said.
Drago's Original Hideout...
Drago stood out on the balcony and stared out at the barren wasteland that covered miles upon miles of space. He turned and walked back into the center of the room.
"Long way from Arendelle aren't you?" Someone asked.
Drago turned and saw a boy, about 16 years old, with a spear in his right hand sitting on his throne.
"Who are you?" Drago asked.
"I'm called different things, but you can just call me Hunter." The boy said.
"What is it you want Hunter?" Drago asked.
Hunter stood walked down from the throne and stood at eye level of Drago.
"How about we play a little game. Just you and me." Hunter said wickedly.
Drago adjusted his footing, sensing something bad was about to happen.
"The rules are..." Hunter started.
Hunter spun the spear like an expert staff spinner then brought it to his right side and pointed the tip at Drago.
"The first one to die loses."
Hans, Gothel and Maleficent emerged out of the same dark portal. They then found themselves in a woods completely different than ones they've all seen in the past. The birds chirped in a symphony around them all and there was a slight breeze that made the trees wave back and forth gracefully. The air itself smelled refreshing and pure. Almost youthful. Like inhaling it made you feel immortal for a brief second.
"Where are we?" Gothel asked.
"I honestly have no idea. All I know is this isn't the world we've come to know." Maleficent answered.
"Welcome my friends." Someone said.
The three turned their heads quickly and saw a teenage boy leaning against a tree. He wore green ragged clothing and had a large brown belt that was held up by a gold piece. He also wore black boots that went up to his knees. He had brown wrist bands on both arms that went up his forearm. He had light brown hair and bright blue eyes and skin that was more pale than tan.
"Want an apple?" He asked.
Hit his elbow on the side of the tree and a perfectly ripe apple dropped into his hand.
"What's in it? Poison?" Hans asked.
The boy looked at him as if he was crazy.
"Poison? You honestly think I'd give you a poison apple?" The boy questioned.
"We can't trust you." Gothel chimed in.
The boy shrugged his shoulders.
"More for me." He said taking a bite.
Maleficent thought she recognized the boys voice from somewhere. Her eyes suddenly opened in realization.
"You're the voice I've been speaking to all this time!" Maleficent said.
The boy swallowed the bite of the apple and smirked.
"It took you long enough." He said. "Welcome to my home. As you can see it's nothing like Corona, or the Southern Isles." The boy said looking up at all the trees around them.
"So who's the King here?" Hans asked.
"There are no Kings in this place. Just me." The boy said.
"You. A little boy is the one in charge of this island?" Maleficent questioned. "There's no one else here."
"Are you sure?" The boy retorted.
Maleficent raised an eyebrow.
"You said it yourself didn't you? You have to learn to open your eyes to what you can and can't see."
Boys in brown cloaks suddenly appeared out from behind tree trunks and high up in branches, each one carrying some kind of weapon.
"Who are you?" Hans asked.
"I've told you that will be revealed in time. But for now my boys here are going to give you a tour of my home." The boy answered.
"And where exactly is home?" Gothel asked.
The boy smirked.
"You're smart Gothel. Figure it out." The boy said.
Hans gritted his teeth.
"Show them around. I'll be back." The said as he turned his back to the group of three.
Hans drew his sword and ran toward the boy.
"You're not going anywhere!" He shouted.
The boy tilted his head slightly then turned his whole body around.
"You fool." He mumbled.
Hans ran full speed ahead then he was hit backwards as if he was blocked by an invisible wall. He tried again and the same thing happened.
"What's going on here?" Hans shouted angrily.
The boy started to laugh hysterically.
"You really think you stand a chance against me? You really are stupid." The boy said as he laughed.
Hans growled and swung his sword again. This time the wall was gone and he had a clear shot. The boys face showed seriousness and he caught the sword with one hand, clear on the sharp blade. There wasn't a single trace of blood on him.
"How- how did you?" Hans stammered.
"Let me explain." The boy said.
The boy shoved Hans to the ground, ripping the sword from his hands.
"In this world I'm the boss. I'm in charge. You disobey or you don't follow the rules there will be consequences. But one thing I absolutely do not tolerate is cheaters."
The boy tightened his grip on the sword and it shattered into pieces. The only thing in tact was the handle which the boy threw on the ground in front of Hans.
"If you cheat then you'll be dead faster than you can say revenge. Got it?" The boy asked.
Hans gulped and nodded his head.
"Good." The boy said.
The boy gave him a helping hand up which Hans took. He stood and wiped the dirt off his clothes.
"Now let the boys show you around. I have something I have to do."
Hans, Gothel and Maleficent were walked away while the boy floated off the ground and flew off faster than the eye could see into a star in the sky that looked like a wasteland.
Hunter was on his knees. Barley keeping himself up with his spear.
"You should know better to take on those who are superior boy." Drago said.
Drago suddenly heard clapping.
"Well done. You defeated one of my many friends." Someone said.
A teenage boy appeared out of the shadows.
"Another one. I don't have time for petty squabbles. Begone." Drago said.
The teenage boy lifted his hand and Hunter floated off the ground and into the sky.
"Where did he go?" Drago asked.
"Not important." The boy answered.
The boy took another bite of his apple.
"This is good." He said with a full mouth.
"Who are you?" Drago asked.
The boy swallowed and looked up at Drago.
"Oh. Sorry. I guess we missed introductions. I'm Peter. Peter Pan."
It took only a matter of seconds before Drago realized who was standing right in front of him.
"What do you want?" Drago asked frightened.
"I want you out of the way. But I'm going to make it a little more fun." Pan said.
Pan held out the apple.
"By the time this apple hits the ground... you'll be dead."
Drago stood his ground. Pan threw the apple high up into the air. Drago glimpsed at it for a second. When he looked back Pan was gone.
"What?" Drago asked himself.
A beam of light suddenly went straight through Drago's stomach. At the corner of his eye he saw Pan behind him with a wicked smirk on his face.
"I never thought it would be this easy. You've gone soft Drago. It's been nice knowing you."
Drago fell to the ground and the apple landed straight back in Pan's hand and he took another bite. He floated off the ground and flew back up into the sky. Drago held out his hand and moved it around weakly. As he did a bird made of shadows was conjured before him.
"Go. Warn them. Hurry." Drago said weakly.
The bird flew off and left Drago stranded in the deserted room. A black figure came through a window with glowing white eyes. It flew over to Drago and started to pull something out of his back. The same black figure came out of Drago's body but with a different silhouette. The black figure flew back up to the grey sky, carrying the silhouette from Drago with it.
Eugene and Kristoff were in the living room playing a game of chess. Eugene made a move and Kristoff smirked and then made his move on the board.
"Checkmate." Kristoff said as he put down his queen.
"Arggghhh." Eugene said frustratedly. "That's the fifth game you've won in a row. How are you so good?"
"I have lots of practice. Sometimes my friends at work will get board and we always bring a chess board to pass the time." Kristoff answered.
"And are they any good?" Eugene asked as he helped Kristoff reset the board.
"Some of them are. Most of them are horrible though. I usually teach them how to play. Some new recruits haven't even played before."
Anna walked in right after he finished his statement.
"Hey. What are you guys doing?" She asked.
"I'm crushing Eugene here at chess. Make this win number four." Kristoff said confidently.
"Don't be so sure about Mr. Ice Harvester." Eugene said making a move on the board.
He put his black knight on the side of the board and Anna looked at him flummoxed.
"Why would you do that? Haven't you heard the saying a knight on the rim is grim?" She asked.
"Since when did you know so much about chess?" Kristoff asked.
"Elsa and I play sometimes when she's not at meetings or when she's not doing anything important." Anna answered.
Kristoff made his move.
"Have you seen her? Elsa I mean." Anna asked.
"I thought she was on the balcony. I could be wrong but I would go check." Eugene said, making his move on the board.
Anna walked away.
"Speaking of check..." Kristoff said.
Kristoff moved his bishop.
"Checkmate." He said.
"WHY DO YOU KEEP BEATING ME!?" Eugene shouted.
Elsa stood on the balcony and took in the beautiful sunshine and the clear skies. She felt this was the only time she could actually feel at peace and relaxed. She looked up and saw a black dot that grew in size every second she had her eye on it. It finally got close enough to where she could see it was a bird. A black bird. It landed on her shoulder and dropped a small scroll in her hand then disappeared.
"What's this?" She asked out loud.
She opened the scroll and in black writing was written: He's coming. She had no clue what it meant and she really didn't want to find out.
"Elsa?" Someone asked.
She turned her head and Anna was walking toward her.
"What are you doing here?" Elsa asked.
"Is something wrong?" Anna asked back.
"No. Everything's... fine." Elsa answered hesitantly.
"No. Everything is not fine because you hesitated." Anna retorted.
"No. I didn't." Elsa said back.
"Yes you did."
Anna noticed the scroll in Elsa's hand.
"What's that?" She asked pointing.
Elsa handed her the scroll.
"It's a warning. But I don't know who sent it or what this person or... thing is warning me about."
"I know you'll figure it out." Anna said.
Anna put a hand on the necklace Elsa had given her.
"I believe in you. I always have and I always will." She said.
Elsa smiled then looked back up at the sky. Suddenly a black figure came up from behind Anna annd grabbed her by the back of her cloak and started to lift her up into the air.
"Elsa! Elsa!" Anna shouted.
"Anna! Hang on!" Elsa shouted back.
Elsa threw her arm out and made a long staircase and started to climb it as fast as she could. No matter how fast she tried to run the figure was faster. Soon it zoomed up into the sky and was nowhere to be seen. Elsa stared for a second before falling to her knees on the icy stairs holding one hand on the railing.
"Anna." She whispered.
"You know, I've always know that the way you control someone is to take away something they love. But I never thought the affects it had on you would be so severe." Someone said.
Elsa looked up and saw a teenage boy floating down and he stood a couple stairs up from her. He ran his hand down the cold railing.
"I must say this is impressive. It's just like your ice castle." The boy said.
Elsa stood again.
"Who are you? And what have you done with my sister?" She asked angrily.
"She's fine. I promise you. And I, like Rapunzel, never break a promise. My name is Peter Pan." The boy said.
Elsa ran up to Peter and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"Take me to her now!" Elsa demanded.
"Well you know I could do that or I could make you find her yourself." Pan said.
Pan held up a piece of paper. Elsa let go of his collar and took it form him.
"What's this?" She asked.
"Why don't you find out." Pan said.
Elsa unfolded the paper and it revealed to be blank.
"This isn't a game!" She shouted.
"Actually it is. It's one of the most fun games I've played in a long time. That map will lead you to your sister. But the question isn't if you can find her. It's how."
Pan flew off into the sky and Elsa stood still, following Pan's figure with her eyes until it disappeared from view.
She walked down the stairs and back onto the balcony. She walked into the living room where Rapunzel, Kristoff and Eugene were waiting.
"Hi. Where's Anna. I thought she went to find you." Kristoff said.
"She was taken and we have to get her back." Elsa said.
"Taken? Where?" Kristoff asked standing up.
"I don't know. There's a map but it's blank. And I don't even know where to start." Elsa admitted.
"Well we better find out. And fast." Rapunzel said.
"But we don't even know where she is. I don't understand how we're supposed to find her." Eugene pointed out.
"We have to think because we're getting nowhere right now." Kristoff said.
Kristoff started to hit his forehead with his hand.
"Think think think think think." He said as he hit himself.
Eugene repeated the word silently.
"Think." He said to himself.
His eyes opened wide.
"Think... lovely thoughts." He said out loud.
"What?" Rapunzel asked.
"Think lovely thoughts." He said again.
"I'm confused." Kristoff said.
Eugene went over to the window.
"I had a brother, with our parents gone he was the only one I had left. He would always call me Rider, mostly because I had already made up the alias Flyn Rider. One day he... abandoned me and I spent most of my time in my room after that. I would sleep. But it wasn't because I was tired or because I was sad. It was because of my dreams. Every time I went to sleep I would always tell myself to think lovely thoughts. I would always dream I was in another world. A world where if you would just believe it. It would happen. You could even fly." Eugene said.
"And you think Anna is in that world?" Rapunzel asked.
"She has to be. It's the only explanation." Elsa said.
"What's this world called?" Kristoff asked.
Eugene turned his head to look at them.
"Neverland."
The black figure dropped Anna onto the dirt covered ground and Pan floated down smoothly and stood in front of her.
"Well Princess. Welcome to my home." Pan said.
"Who are you?" Anna asked.
"I'm Peter Pan. The one in charge of this island." Pan said.
"Island? We're not on an island you're crazy." Anna said.
"See for yourself." Pan said motioning behind her.
Anna turned her head and saw an overhang near her. She ran and looked out at what was a vast island that was surrounded by miles upon miles of jungle. Pan walked up by her side and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Welcome to Neverland."
