Chapter 1
You know all those fairytales that you hear about as a kid? Yes, the fairytales with heroes and villains and happy endings. You know that feeling you got as a kid of wanting to live in one of those stories? I was just like you when I was little. Always reading those happy stories and dreaming of living in one.
But then you grow up. You stop believing in those stories once reality hits you like a ton of bricks. When you grow up and get all those responsibilities dropped on your shoulders. When you know that happy endings only exists in stories.
Well, I had an ok life when I had grown up. I had a nice job as a waitress while I studied for my education. Sure things were hard, paying rents, having to study a lot for school. But I survived. I had a life I was happy with. I lived with my three siblings, My older brother, twin brother and our younger sister.
Our parents died in a car accident a couple of years ago. I guess that that was the time I stopped believing in fairytales. Life became very though. We were placed in an orphanage, but we promised each other to never be apart.
That's where this brings us now. We lived in a small apartment, just big enough for the four of us. I had to share my bedroom with my sis while my brothers shared a room. I liked being around my sister since she reminds me so much of myself when I was a kid.
She still believes in fairytales. Our room was decorated with different drawings she made from what she wanted our life to be as a fairytale. I used to be like that, always telling mum and dad about my dreams of having a nice life and living in a castle.
But I was six back then, like my sister is now, and now I've grown up. I'm eighteen now. Young adult as people would say. But I never wanted to grow up. Never did and I still don't want to grow up more. The responsibilities that will come are just too much.
Although it's been six years since my parent's death, I was still very upset about it. Well, I wouldn't exactly blame myself on that. I was just twelve back then. The worse thing is that my little sis never knew our parents, seeing as she was just a baby back then. She would often ask me about our parents, and that just reminded me of that horrible day.
The depression wasn't helping much. I had been suffering a lot since our parent's death, since I was there when it happened. It took a great toll on me. But I had my sister here to cheer me up. Whenever I would be upset, she would always come to me and read a story to me.
In return, I would tell her of my adventures I had while dreaming. When I was little, six years of age I believe, I used to go to this place in my dreams. Neverland. I would often go there in my sleep. I often told my sister about my adventures there, and she always says that she wants to go there too.
My childhood had been nice for a couple of years. I went to Neverland in my dreams. It started off with every single night, tho a year or so later it started to get less. Eventually when I was twelve, I stopped going there. I guess I grew up and stopped believing.
When I think about it, I do wish at times that I could go back to Neverland, even for just one night. It would at least help me get away from my life every now and than. That would be nice. But sadly, I can't.
"Heeellooooo! Earth to Amelia." I was snapped out of my thoughts by my older brother waving his hand in front of my face. "Ah, Sorry... I was just... thinking" I apologized, smiling sheepishly at my brother. He heaved a sigh in return, sitting down beside me on my bed.
"You always get caught up in your thoughts... I know what you're thinking about, but you should forget about it" he said, frowning as he wrapped his arms around me in a hug, comforting me a little. I returned the hug and burried my face in the crook of his neck.
"I'm sorry Nate..." I mumbled softly, pulling back from the hug and hugging my knees to my chest again. My brother stood up, ruffling up his dark blonde hair. "Hey, we were going to watch a movie Kaily picked out. You wanna join us?" Nate said, holding his hand out to me.
I smiled and took his hand, getting up from the bed and following my brother to the living room. "I'll go help Roran make some popcorn and get some soda ready" I said oce we got to the living room. I walked into the kitchen and saw my twin working on preparing some snacks.
I snuck up behind him and tickled his side. He bursted out laughing while trying to get away from me. I laughed as well as I grabbed the soda bottle from the counter and some cups. "Look who finally decided to come out of her hiding hole" Roran joked, grabbing the two bowls of snakcs and walking to the living room.
I playfully punched his shoulder as we both had placed down the soda and snacks. I plopped down on the sofa, only to end up being tackled by Kaily. She plopped down on my lap, snuggling up to me as she grabbed the blanket from the armrest. She wrapped it around us as we both got comfortable.
"What movie will we be watching today?" I asked as we all had gotten comfortable. Nate was fixing the movie, placing the DVD in the DVD-player before settling down beside Roran on the sofa who was snuggled up against my side. I took one end of the blanket and threw it over to Nate who wrapped himself under the large blanket.
"We're gonna watch Peter Pan. It used to be your favourite movie according to Roran. And since we all noticed how upset you were the whole day, we all wanted to cheer you up" Kaily said, smiling brightly at me. I returned the smiled, ruffling her black hair.
We all sat and watched the movie. I felt a bit better, remember the good memories of when I was small and always wanted to watch the same movie. 'Peter Pan' had always been my favourite movie/story since I was a kid.
As the movie was almost over, I noticed that Kaily and Roran had both fallen asleep. I quietly moved her from my lap, getting up and picking her up again. "I'll take Kaily to bed. And I think I'm also gonna go to sleep now. Good night" I said as I made my way to my bedroom.
Once inside, I placed Kaily in her bed before getting changed into my Pjs and getting into my own bed. I reached under my bed and pulled a small box from underneath it. Blowing off the dust, I smiled softly as I ran my hand over the top. I could make out the messy hand writing at the top. 'Childhood memories' was written messily on the box.
I carefully opened the lid and looked inside the box. Different sort of drawings were laying in the box and a small black bag was in there as well. I pulled the drawings from the box, looking at them. They were the old drawings I had made of how I wanted my life to be, like a fairytale. There was also one drawing of an island. I smiled at the memory, knowing that it was a drawing I made of Neverland.
I took some tape from my night-stand and hung the drawing above my bed. I turned my attention back to the box and pulled out the small bag, placing the other drawings back in the box. I opened up the small bag and placed the content in my lap.
In the small bag laid a small figurine of a wolf made from wood and a necklace with a feather at the end. I placed the necklace around my neck, surprised that it still fitted. Placing the box back under my bed, I snuggled up under the blanket, holding the small figurne in my hands as I slowly fell asleep.
Before sleep consumed me, I heard soft tapping coming from he window. I brushed it off as a branch touching against the window because of the wind. I turned my back towards the window and tried to sleep, but I woke up when the window opened.
I got out of bed to close the window, though I thought that I saw something going around in the room. I brushed it off as my shadow as I closed the window. When I turned around, I suddenly felt very drowsy as I fell unconscious. The last thing I remember was seeing a black shadowy figure standing in front of me. Then everything went pitch black.
