~After Neverland~
Hey guys! So this is my sequel to A Long Hard Road. I'm sorry it's taken awhile to post this, but it's finally here. I hope you guys enjoy!
Chapter 1
Wendy's POV
Months had passed since Wendy and Peter landed in Storybrooke. They lived in a house in the woods. They were far enough away that they didn't have to interact with anyone, but close enough to walk to town if they needed something. It was Wendy who mostly went into town. Almost everyone hated Peter and Wendy wouldn't put it past some people to attack him.
One morning Wendy woke before Peter, which was odd. She always slept in and he always arose before the sun. Wendy walked to their kitchen and opened the cabinets. They were running low on food. Wendy sighed as she grabbed a piece of paper to make a grocery list.
An hour later, after Wendy had gotten ready, she left for town. She loved to take walks in the woods for it calmed her. Mostly it reminded her of Neverland.
She decided to stop in at Granny's to treat herself with some pancakes. She did this every now and then because it gave her a chance to catch up on the town's gossip. That and Granny's pancakes were to die for.
Wendy sat down by herself at a booth in the back. She looked at the menu, deciding what type of pancake she wanted today. She was about to call Granny over to take her order when a boy slid into the seat across from her. It was Felix.
"Hello there, Wendy." Felix smiled shyly.
"What do you want?" Wendy demanded. She hadn't seen Felix in a few months. She had no idea why he would approach her now.
"Oh, just to talk. I haven't got a lot of friends these days. It'd be nice to have someone to talk to."
He seemed sincere enough, but there was something he was hiding. "Don't you live with a few lost boys? Talk to them."
"They get very boring, very quick. I bet you have a bunch of stories I haven't heard before." Felix leaned his arms on the table, looking Wendy in the eye. "How about you come by my place and you can tell me and my roommates something interesting?"
Wendy's first thought was to say no. But it might be fun to actually have something to do that wasn't shop, cook, or clean.
"Sure, why not?" Felix grinned. He wrote his address on a piece of paper and handed it to her. "Be here tonight. Oh, and don't tell Pan."
That's a suspicious thing for him to say. They were so close once. "Why can't I tell Peter?"
Felix leaned in close to her. "Because this is something he doesn't need to know about."
He straightened and walked out of Granny's. Wendy watched him leave, not realizing what she was doing until granny came over.
"What would you like to eat?" Granny asked.
Wendy snapped out of her trance. "Actually, I think I should get going. I have some errands to run."
Wendy slid past Granny and waited until she was outside to run away. She ran back to the woods, stopping before she got home. She leaned her back against a tree and breathed heavily.
Why did Felix approach her now of all times? Why did he want her to tell him stories when he could just pick up a book? Why wasn't she allowed to tell Peter she was going to see Felix? Wendy had no answers to these questions, but she was determined to find out tonight.
