A Peter Pan fan-fic from the Land of Neverland,2011. (The Sifi miniseries. If you haven't seen it look for it, it is AMAZING) The Original work by James Barrie
Chapter One: Guardians of the Orb
"and that is how Peter Pan defeated Captain Hook." Petrova Darling's mother finished the story she has told every night since Petrova was old enough to remember. Marrisa Darling was once a stunningly beautiful woman, and stunning she was still. She smiled at her sixteen year-old daughter, who somehow never seemed to tire of the story countless children had long forgoten.
"Love, I have something to give you, Darling." Her mother smiled at her little pun, "The women in the Darling family have been taking care of this since Wendy Darling herself. It is a key." She pulled a glass ball from behind her back, she smiled as she passed it to her daughter. Petrova's knuckles rapped against it lightly as she took it.
Petrova gasped as the ball lit up, a world beyond her wildest dreams flew by, like so many movies she had gone to see. Forest taller than anything this earth has to and summer, fall and spring. Petrova felt a deep longing to visit this amazing world, a world of magic. "If this is the key, where is the lock?" She asked her mother hesitantly.
"No one knows, all we know is that every time the Orb is passed on to a new Darling, Peter Pan comes to greet them."
"Mom." She said rudely, "I love that story but we both know there is no such thing as Peter Pan. We are in 2011 for goodness sakes."
Her mum smiled sadly at her skeptical daughter, "I know love I know. But love, what if it were true?" She turned off Petrova's light and walked down the stairs to her bed room.
Petrova looked at the orb, shook it a bit, then set it down forlornly on her dresser. So what if she wanted the fairy tale to be true, as she had since she was a little girl. So what if she secretly had a crush on Peter Pan. And so what if she desperatly, hungerly, and horribly wanted to see a fairy. She started crying, thinking her mother cruel for making her want this so badly, then teasing her about it.
"Why are you crying, girl?" She heard a voice call. She jerked her head up, wiping away the tears as she did so.
"Peter Pan? I must be dreaming! No, I am going nuts. I have to call Aurora. I have to call the Loony Bin. No, wait what I am thinking? I have to call the police, there is a strange boy in my room, at night." The boy looked at her then at the orb, then back at her.
"Done freaking out now." She nodded, "Well then, to answer you question, I am Peter Pan. As I expect you figured out by now, since your mother has obviously given you the orb. Haven't you ever wondered why your parents are so rich, why you go by your mother's name, as oposed to your father's?" He asked softly. She shook her head.
"I don't believe you! and to prove it I am going to destroy the Orb!" She grabbed the dagger that her mother had given to her for her birthday, that she had left sitting on her desk above her bed, and with Peter yelling,"NO!" She smashed it into the orb as hard as she possibly could. Then she and everything in her bedroom disappeared.
