I was ten when I first arrived in Neverland.
I stayed ten for over a hundred years after that.
I was ten when I was send to a world without magic.
And I was eightteen when I returned.
My name is lucy Lightheart, and I am Peter Pan's first Lost Girl.
My Dad and big brother were fighting, they were always fighting, I just stood and watched. My brother had refused to go and work for the local blacksmith, saying he wouldn't leave me behind with an abusive man like our father. Dad hit him, Ruffio hit back, harder. Dad was always drunk, so his balence was poor at best. He hit the ground and stayed unconcious. Ruf and I looked at each other in shock for a moment. Then He grabbed our bags and threw mine to me.
"C'mon, we're out of here." He said, and we left. Just like that, after years of abuse Ruffio had enough and he was taking me somewhere safe, I was sure of that. What a fool I was.
"Ruffio, where are we going?" I asked.
"Remember those stories I tell you every night before you go to sleep?" He asked in return. I remembered, But I wasn't sure how that had anything to do with all this. "Well we are going somewhere where dad will never find us. We are going to Neverland." He said. We were rushing towards the forest and it was getting late.
"How are we going to do that then?"I asked.
"Like any other child that wants to escape, I'll call the shadow to take us to where we need to go. It might be a little scary but I'll be right next to you the whole time okay." I nodded bravely, somewhat, and grabbed Ruffio's hand. "Let's go." He whispered.
We reached an open meadow in the woods, we stayed ther for a while until it was completely dark. I grabbed Ruffio's hand when he stood up, he sqeazed back. "I believe." Was all he said, after that we waited, and waited, and waited. Then a cold wind started to pick up, ruffling the trees. I just embraced Ruffio and he hugged back. We saw a dark figure fly towards us, completely black exept bright, yellow glowing eyes. It grapped Ruffio"s hand and our feet left the ground. "Hold tight Lu!" Ruffio yelled over the noise. and we were off in the nightsky.
I seemed like hours that I hold on to Ruf, flying over those fluffy clouds. Until we saw an island in the far distance, Ruffio Looked down and I voiced both of our thoughts. "Neverland." It was getting closer by the minute and soon enough we could spot some landmarks on land and a ship not far away. The ship confused me but that thought was forced out of my brain by the next. We were flying over the woods and descending rather quickly. Just a few feet above the ground the shadow dropped us and flew away. We were getting up when I heard a voice from behind.
"Welcome to Neverland, what's your name boy?" I turned around to see a tall blond boy leaning against a tree, holding a spiked club casually over his shoulder. Then the boy saw me, he got up from the tree and started walking towards us. "And who is this?"
"My name is Ruffio," My brother started talking. "And that is my little sister Lucy. We left our father and now I'm all she has left. Now, who are you?" The boy tore his gaze away from me and faced my big brother. They were about the same size, and they knew it.
"I'm Felix, one of the lost boys. Now I must warn you, Pan usually doesn't let girls stay here. But I'll show you to our camp, then he can decide." He started walking to the woods, I grabbed Ruf's hand, and we followed.
