New Nightmares

by Ellie Austin

Something is wrong. The lights are not going out, but the children seem... different. A new threat is effecting the world of imagination, and Sandy is convinced that the problem stems from Neverland.

Chapter 1

Peter Pan tossed about in his sleep. The nightmares were getting worse, and his unconscious body shifted and rolled in agitation as dark images filled his mind.

He openned his eyes, but the fear wouldn't leave him. Then he heard something. A shuffling, dragging... from under his bed.

Peter's breathing became heavy; anticipation and fear making his heart thump, uncomfortably, in his chest.

Eyes wide with terror, he tried to swallow down his fear, and lowered himself over the side of the bed, to confront whatever might be hiding there.
