Story: Escape to Neverland
Author: Avery McAire
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Well next to nothing. Well, something so small but yet large enough that it could be considered nothing by certain influential people. Well...
Summary: Molly left Neverland with no intention of going back. She realized she had a loving family and all she could ever want. Molly never needed to go back. But does her daughter feel the same way? Ginny Weasley is caught up in lies and a relationship that is going no where. She's seventeen, out of school and nothing is working for her. When she is offered the chance to leave it all behind, she takes it. But Neverland isn't what she wanted. And now three young men have come after her from her home. Can she really leave something as wonderful as Neverland, even if she doesn't belong?
(A/N: I'm just guessing on the ages of the kids. In this first chapter, Ginny is seven. Ron is Eight. the twins are ten, Percy is twelve, Charlie is fourteen and Bill is fifteen. I could be wrong.)
Prologue
A bed time Story
The little girl twirled a strand of strawberry blonde hair around her index finger. She stared at her toes as her brothers played around on the floor. Her mother scooped her out of the chair and into her lap. She giggled as her mother tickled her.
The tiny child reached up and traced the small scar just above her mother's eyebrow. "Where did you get that scar, Mummy?"
Suddenly the boys were all ears. Their mother had scars? This was interesting. The oldest boys, already in school, sat cross legged on the floor before their mother, hands in their laps. The third child, a serious looking boy in glasses, perched himself on a foot stool and tried to look nonchalant. A set of twins, grinning myscheiviously, gathered in front of their older brothers with their younger brother.
The girl snuggled close into her mother's arms, sensing a story.
"Now, my dears, surely you don't want to hear your mother's old stories?"
The boys protested vehemently. If Mum didn't tell a story, they'd have to go to bed. And that was something all little boys avoided.
Their mother smiled. "Alright then dears. Like all good stories, mine begins with once upon a time..."
"You know of Peter Pan my children. But did you know your dear mother had a brush with that dastardly young cad?"
The third child looked doubtful, but the others merely looked intrigued.
"Oh, yes. He was quite the charmer. I was seventeen, if I remember correctly. Now, Mr. Barre was quite right in his story, in almost every detail. Hook was just as ghastly as he is described. But Peter, well... He was quite a bit more grown up then he is supposed to be. He quite naturally promised me everything I could ever want. Well... Almost everything. Peter never promised to be true to me alone. As soon as my back was turned, or I refused him something, he fled to another of the young women. And, he never once said my name."
"Eventually I told him I wanted to leave. He grew furious. He demanded I stay. I refused. We fought bitterly. I yelled and screamed. He came after me with his short sword. Finally, it was Tinkerbell who saved me. She was eagar to be rid of me and helped me escape that day. I ran to Hook. Hook seemed transformed by the prospect that I would leave Pan and was only too eagar to help. I don't know what happened that day I left, but I didn't care. I came home and met your father. We lived happily ever after with seven beautiful children."
The third child pushed up his glasses. "Mum, that's impossible."
The older boys laughed and attacked him with pillows. The little girl did not get into the merriment but stared at her mother. Maybe there was some truth in the tale...
(A/N: Wow. I pulled what I lovingly refer to as a Nikki. I started another fic before working on the one I have up. As usual, Nikki and I were bouncing around ideas the other night on the phone. She was watching Peter Pan on VHS and I was watching Harry Potter 3 on DVD and we were talking about combining the two. Nikki Let it off, saying she had too many fics going as it was. So I offered to take over this. Nikki has been an enormous help with the plot and I thank her for everything. Please Review!)
