Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in Peter Pan! This is my own dark twist on the original tale.

A lot of of my inspiration derived from the show, Once Upon A Time, where Peter Pan is made out to be more evil than good.

I do not own any of the characters on that show as well.

-This story dates back to the 1800's where Tinker Bell is not quite yet a fairy but a human and Peter Pan is just beginning to gain his powers. Mia, (Tink's original

name) explains how it all began!

I love Tinker Bell and as a child I always wondered how she became Peters little sidekick fairy. She's tough, stubborn, and jealous. There must be a reason why

Pan has the ability to drive her crazy.

So here you have it, a beginning a story before Wendy and the rest of the fairytales beloved characters came about!

(I may add more characters down the line.)

Hope you enjoy! 3

Stitched Wings

Prologue:

Think me insane but this was no ordinary boy. Having grown up lonely, unloved, and abandoned, made his demands for power and attention stronger than any force known to man. His child like appearance and innocent eyes could fool even the smartest of beings on this earth.

Get too close and he will eat you alive.

It was the first of December, in the year eighteen hundred. The sunny streets of England had been bursting with laughter and life. Children chased each other while parents conversed about their trades. All seemed normal in the world; especially for me.

Racing from an angry baker, my latest steal hung high in the air for the world to see. Taking bits and pieces of the bread, I threw what I could among the cobble roads of Merberry Lane. One less bird will die of hunger. I thought to myself promisingly. With half a loaf left and no time to spare I dodged past the people of the town and bowed around a dark corner. "Thief!" The old hog pleaded hoping some heroic stranger would hear and take action. Little had he known the souls who walked this town were indifferent with anything that hadn't involved them.

Feeling quite satisfied with my escape I took a rest and leaned against the pebble walls of an old abandoned church. It was a beautiful place, one I visited often. I'd sometimes hide where the bell tower stood. Alone and free was where I felt most at peace. It seemed most people clung together in fear of being judged. It was all they knew. Not I though. Standing unaided kept me feeling safe and grounded.

Sitting cross legged I licked my lips and prepared to devour. One apple, one banana, and one piece of bread sat before me on a green cloth I stole from a commoner. "Thank you for this opportunity to once again fill my stomach. Earth; I appreciate you." Opening my eyes I could see my apple was no longer in its rightful place. My cheeks flushed red with rage once discovering the culprit had been standing still before me. Perhaps he had a death wish? No one in their right mind stood with my stolen fruit in their hand and got away with it. Especially not someone with a cocky grin and a confident stance; it was time for him to pay.

I shot up quickly and guarded the rest of my belongings. One hand stuck sourly against my hip while the other dart out with a threatening point.

"How dare you steal my apple!"

The grin on the bandits face only grew wider and I could tell by his posture he wasn't going down without a fight. If it was a fight he wanted; indeed it was a fight he'd get!

I lunged at him bravely and grabbed for my fruit but he moved away rapidly and dodged my attempt. "Give it!" I hissed, failing at yet another poorly planned lunge. The boy chuckled once balancing my food on top his head.

Being quite the arrogant arse, he walked over towards me, a look of excitement in his eyes. "All you need to do is reach the apple and it's yours."

Watching the red fruit sway above his head I knew my chances were slim. This creature liked to play games and I knew when games were played by anyone, they were never made easy. I took a few seconds to collect my thoughts. I could either walk away with one less piece of food or I could win.

Please be kind this is my first story on fan fiction! Hope you like :)
