Percia Pan: Welcome to Civilization
Chapter One
Percy's POV
I didn't know where I was, or how long I had been there. All I knew was that I was growing up, I was getting older. I couldn't keep my thoughts straight, I never knew what was going on... who was around me, who was talking, what I was eating... Everything was a mystery, it was like I wasn't even living.
The Lost Boys, they betrayed me, about six months after Ashton died. Dark magic had overwhelmed me, they locked me up someplace far away from Neverland. I could still feel it's magic, it was close.
A door opened and light shone in, brightening the cold, dark stone room.
"You think her magic's gone?" I heard someone ask.
"It's been five years, it should be," this voice sent a chill up my back as I looked up.
"Daniel," I whispered.
"Hello, Percy," he said as he walked towards me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked quietly.
He made a worried look. "I always come on the first of the year to make sure your magic's still draining," he told me.
"That's you?" I asked, "...But the shackles, why do you allow them to be bond me? ...I thought you cared about me, if you did... you wouldn't have me in bondage..."
"The shackles care precaution, Percy," he said as he checked two of the monitors that were attached to my arms, "When you first got here you were threatening everyone, even me, the shackles keep your magic under control..."
He smiled and I backed up closer to the wall. My knees were to my chest and there were metal shackles around my ankles and wrists. There was some sort of IV attached to my right arm, as well as a heart monitor, and another sort of monitor attached to my left arm.
"You don't have to be afraid of me, Percy," he told me, "I'm your friend, remember?"
"The last thing I remember about you was when I cursed part of Neverland and told you to leave..." I trailed off, "Where-"
"Shh," he shushed and looked at another monitor, "The fact you're replying to me and understanding what's going on is a good sign..."
He shone a light in my eyes and I reared back. "I think... you can leave," he mumbled, thinkly deeply.
"I can?" I asked excitedly but then frowned, "Which way is Neverland from here?"
"You're not going back to Neverland," he told me, "You'll be coming home with me."
"Excuse me?!" I asked in shock.
"I need to keep an eye on you," he explained, "If you think I've kept you here for five years, draining your dark magic which you obtained from Neverland, just to send you back to Neverland, then you must not be well enough to leave."
"Five years?" I whispered, "I've been here for five years? Where am I?!" I clenched my fists.
He sighed and my eyes widened.
"Daniel, no!" I glared at him, "The island? You took me to the island that I spent eight years trying to get off of?! How could you!?"
"I couldn't very well take you back to London with your dark magic, now could I?" he said, "I had no choice! This is the only place I could take you. We're on the far side of the island, we're not within Neverland's magic force here. You grew up Percy, you're not a fifteen-year-old with a seven-year-old's mind anymore."
"Great... now I'm a twenty-year-old with the mind of a fifteen-year-old," I mumbled, "You took my childhood from me!"
"It was about time you grew up!" he protested, "You can't be a child forever, Percy." He took a key out of his pocket and looked me in the eye. "If I take the shackles off, and take you back to London, will you behave?" he asked seriously.
I was quiet. I could still feel dark magic in my bloodstream, though it was nearly gone. But if I had a little practice, a chance to build up the magic, I would have the magic back... I smiled wickedly.
"Yes, daddy, I'll behave," I said jokingly, "I'll be good, Daniel, my magic's gone, I can't hurt anyone so you can relax." I held out my wrists to him to unlock the shackles. I put one leg down, so only one leg was up to my chest. "Please Daniel, it's been five years... I want to be free again," I said desperately.
He hesitantly put the key into the lock and turned it. "I trust you, Percia," he told me, "Don't let me down."
I nodded and waited anxiously as he removed the shackles around my wrists... but not the shackles around my ankles. "What about the ankle shackles?" I asked, "Aren't you going to take them off too?"
"Not until we're back in London," he helped me stand up and studied me for a minute, "Come on, let's get home."
He led me out of the dark room and we were outside, on the island I had grown up on... Bad memories returned but I quickly pushed them aside. I looked at Daniel, getting a good look at his face for the first time.
He was handsome, I had to admit, the years had been good to him. His jade green eyes sparkled but showed concern and weariness, his dirty blonde hair was shaggy and hung over his eyes, and he had a deep voice. He was about a head taller than I was, he was muscular and tan, and there was a small scar under his left eye.
My heart fluttered as I studied his features. He noticed me staring at him and smirked. "Like what you see?" he asked jokingly.
"Shut up, jerk," I mumbled as my cheeks turned red.
He chuckled. "I brought you a few things," he said, changing the subject.
He handed me a bag and I looked inside: new clothes, a hairbrush, a towel, and a few other various items.
"You should go take a bath," he told me, "I'll stay here."
"You trust me that much?" I asked, "What's stopping me from leaving?"
"I trust you, remember?" he sighed and knelt down, taking out a key, "Now go before I change my mind." He unlocked the shackles on my ankles.
I shrugged and walked into the woods. I knew the island better than I should, there was a clean pond just inside of the woods. I looked back to make sure Daniel wasn't anywhere near me. I quickly undressed and waded into the pond. I submerged myself and came up, pushing my hair back.
The cool water felt good and I started to rub the dirt from my arms. After a few minutes, I noticed something in the water. My eyes widened: a water snake. I screamed and rushed to the edge of the pond, just as the snake reached me.
I got out of the water and grabbed the towel from the bag. I wrapped it around myself and heard Daniel yelling for me.
"Percy! What's wrong?" he yelled and I heard him running towards the pond.
Once he was standing by me, his cheeks turned red and he turned around. He cleared his throat awkwardly. "What happened?" he asked.
My face reddened slightly and I said, "Um... t-there was a snake..."
"Are you ok?" he asked with a sigh.
"Yes, I'm fine," I replied.
"Alright, get dressed and we'll leave for London," he told me.
He walked away and I watched him; he went behind a tree and I figured he was waiting for me there.
I quickly got dressed and brushed my hair. I looked down at the outfit: a dark red poodle skirt with a black poodle on it, an off-the-shoulders black shirt and red scarf. I had my hair down with a black headband. I sighed and called for Daniel.
He walked out from behind the tree and looked me up and down. He smiled. "You look beautiful," he told me.
"Thanks, I guess," I said, "Can we go? I'm kind of anxious to get off of this island."
"Ok," he put the shackles around my ankles again and took my hand, leading me back to the beach.
"How are we getting to London?" I asked.
"We're flying, of course," he replied as he took a pouch from his belt.
"Is that... my pixie dust pouch?" I looked at the pouch then at Daniel.
"Well... yeah," he said sheepishly, "So, let's go!"
He took out a pinch of pixie dust and dusted each of us.
For the first time in years, I was flying. It was wonderful! "Follow the Second Star," I mumbled as I looked at the star.
Daniel was still holding my hand and he pulled me towards the star. "Come on," he said with a laugh.
I smiled and flew past him, pulling my hand away. I flew quickly into the sky. "Whoo!" I yelled as I laughed.
I stopped and turned, motioning for Daniel to hurry up.
After flying 'til sundown, I saw London. "There it is!" I said excitedly.
"Yeah," Daniel smiled at me, "Welcome to civilization, Percy."
