***********Ok I just had an idea for this and I had to get it out. I like the story line, but you might not, but if you do……REVIEW DAMNIT!!
Chapter One
For the first time in ages, Neverland was silent. There was not the chimes of merry laughter from Mermaid Lagoon, or the sound of the Natives going about their daily routines. Even the deepest jungles of the island, filled with all kinds of creatures, remained still. An unusual feeling of despair fell across the magical world along with a steady, calm down pour of fresh rain. To anyone that hadn't lived on the island long would just think of it as an ordinary rain. But to the inhabitants of Neverland, it signified something completely different. Because they knew that this so called 'fresh' rain was tainted with sadness and loss…because they knew, Neverland was weeping.
It was true, and every creature on the island felt the sadness also. They felt the reality that they hardly every had to face, finally sink in. The reality that their beloved friend, ally, and protector was leaving the island. Handing over the torch so to speak. Even though their protector had promised each and every one of them that the island was in good hands, most still weren't happy about it. Although they knew that their protector…former protector, would never leave them in the hands of someone that did not cherish the island as much as they did. They all just had to trust, and as the protector had always said, they had to have faith.
While above the island the rain was pouring, below the moist ground the fairy council of Neverland had joined together to bid their dear friend farewell and to welcome the new protector of their island.
"Your positive this is the right thing to do? Because I'm sure most of us have perfectly good reasons why you shouldn't go. To start with…" One of the members rambled and was interrupted by a young female voice.
"I told you, I'm sure about this. As much as I hate to admit it, I feel like my time is over here." the speaker said with regret coating her voice. All the fairies looked at one another with a bit of confusion in their eyes at their leaders odd behavior. After a few seconds the underground cavern burst objections and various reasons why she should stay. Then the noble fairy up front spoke out.
"Enough. Liluye has made her decision. And although many of us don't agree with it…" she paused for a moment and looked around at all the fairies of the island with sadness plastered on their sharp faces. A painful wince came to her own face when she glanced at the larger girl standing in front of her. Thinking back when Liluye or Lil as the islanders had come to know her as, first came to Neverland, a hollow feeling swept across her small body.
She was only a small child, just a little older then a baby when she arrived in Neverland. Brought there by the former rouge fairy Tinkerbell, her bright green eyes and silky taupe hair enchanted the whole island. Only after a few days in their world the child's ears began to form into that of an elf's. Taking this as a sign that the girl belonged there, the island praised her and the Natives blessed her with her name meaning 'singing hawk while soaring'. Coincidentally, not many weeks after that, the girl was taught to fly by her savior, Tinkerbell.
As the years drew on Lil and the rouge fairy grew closer and closer, and eventually became inseparable. The girl also grew herself, to thirteen the limited physical age in Neverland, the year of age where you are at your end of childhood. The peoples of the island watched young Liluye develop into a fighter, and defender.
After two decades on the island, more children began showing up on Neverland. These children consisting of girls and boys both, ended up flocking to Liluye as the fairies knew would happen. As more and more kids came to the magical island in the sky, they were finally dubbed a name. The Never Kids.
It had been many years since the head fairy welcomed the that little girl on the island, and had enjoyed the years after watching her become stronger and more confident. Defending their home from evil mystical creatures and beings that found their way into Neverland, Liluye had become something steady for all the inhabitants of the island to seek shelter behind.
But now…now she was leaving.
"But we must all support her decision…" Tanya, the head of the fairy council said pulling herself away from the memories.
Lil gave her a lopsided smile and looked around at all the other fairies around her. The little people all gave sad smiles back to the girl in front of them dressed in tightly sewn together animal hide, some of it stained a blue tint from the indigo Neverberries. After a moment of looking around, she turned her head back to Tanya.
"Where's Tinker? I thought she was gonna be here." she questioned with a little hurt in her voice. The fairy let out a sigh and looked down.
"This new arrangement is going to be difficult for Tinkerbell, as it is for all of us. She's probably more upset about it then most of us…you two are extremely close you know. But I'm sure she's not far off Lil." she explained and watched as the girl turned and headed toward the tunnel that lead above ground.
Feeling the cool water of the rainfall suddenly hit against her face, Liluye squinted her eyes and continued to fly out into the lushness of Neverland in search of her best friend.
Pausing briefly near a large tree, Lil was stunned at the lack of sound. Her heart gained about 50 pounds when she realized that her leaving had this much of an impact on the island. Inhaling a breath she continued on her way calling out to the fiery little pixie.
After about 30 minutes of searching Liluye sat herself down upon a thick branch that was sheltered by large green leaves. Looking over the greenery of the island from her perch, she ran a hand over her face trying to block out the deep feelings of regret she had for leaving this place. It was her home, but…
"Your really leaving…aren't you?" a small bell like voice asked behind her. Closing her eyes tightly, blocking out the tears that threatened her pride, she nodded already knowing who it was.
The pixie fluttered in place behind the girl she came to love as a best friend, the girl she saved that day in the old alleyway in the other world. Quietly, Tink alighted on Lil's shoulder before gently grabbing onto a piece of hair that had fallen out of the messy bun Liluye usually set her hair in, and letting out choked sobs.
"I hav'ta' go Tinker. Neverland doesn't need 'me' anymore. It needs that boy." she explained, calling Tinkerbell by her nickname. Before she knew it the little pixie was right in front of her face, screaming out in fairy tongue.
"You don't know that, how could you know that?! Lots of little boys have been brought here! What makes him so different, why…why does he get to stay but you have to go.?" she argued, but her voice went down to a whisper as she finished.
"There can't be two guardians of the island Tinker. That would cause more chaos then if there were no protector at all. And I know that he's different because…it happened to him too." she said with a small smirk and a tap on her pointed elven ear.
Tinker's face dropped when she knew she had been defeated. The ears always gave it away. Call it petty or not a big deal, but the ears told everything. They showed that that person is a part of Neverland itself. Sure it had only happened to Lil so far, but the fairies figured it would be the same with anyone else. The bad thing was that nobody thought there would be anyone else.
"Don't worry Tinkerbell. I'll only be a star away remember?" she coaxed and gestured toward the small spot in the sky that wasn't covered by clouds, where the blue gleam of a star shown through. Lil hoped that bit of information would give some hope to her little friend, but when she looked back to Tinker that was still hovering in front of her she knew better.
Her little face was glossy with tears and her wings flapped a little lower. Liluye cringed and looked away from the pixies blue eyes, still trying to hold back tears of her own.
After a while Lil had finally convinced Tinkerbell to go back with her to see the baby before she left. The fly back was muted. The only sound that echoed around the two was the steady drum of the rain and the soft beating of Tinkerbells wings.
When they arrived back to the cavern, the fairies where still placed in their respectable spots and were talking among themselves. Gliding over to Tanya who had her back turned and was looking down upon something, Liluye peeked over the pixie. Turning to see that the flying girl had returned, Tanya smiled when she saw that Lil caught sight of the baby below her.
Liluye moved down closer to the sleeping babe and examined his face. His skin was smooth with a few small freckles here and there, and on top of his head was a tuft of brownish red hair. While she had been looking down on the boy, the other fairies moved out of the way to allow her and Tinker to get a good look. Keeping her eyes on the baby, curiosity got the best of the girl and she reached down and softly ran a finger down the boys velvety face. Suddenly the child opened his eyes, causing Lil to jerk back from mild surprise.
The sight of the fully awake babe brought smiles from all the fairies that had gathered around. Slowly Lil moved back over the boy and raised an eyebrow when he stuck a hand in his mouth.
"What's his name?" she asked not taking her gaze away from the boy.
"We don't know, and we haven't given him one yet. We thought maybe you'd want that last responsibility." Tanya answered with a warm smile toward the girl. Earlier that day Lil had taken the Never Kids to the other island, to the second star to the left, and she was still trying to get over the fact that the swarm of children wouldn't be roaming the island anymore. Liluye had tried to convince them to stay, but 'where you go, we go' they had said. The fairy sighed at remembrance of some of the pranks they had played over the years and she would miss them all terribly. But not nearly as much as she would miss Liluye.
Tilting her head and grinning down at the boy, Lil looked at the him seemingly to be in a staring contest. 'Honey', she finally decided was what color the boys eyes where. 'I could name him Honey…heh, yeh right' she thought to herself and continued to gaze upon the boy for inspiration for a name.
Breaking the stare she looked around the cavern. 'Rocks…I could name him Rocks, or Rocky…Rocko? No…'. Then her eyes came to rest upon a musical instrument that the fairies had made for her a time ago. Floating over, she picked the pipes up and lifted it to her lips. Playing an old tune she had heard many times at celebrations she made her way back to the baby. Continuing to play, the sound brought a blissful smile to the fairies and the babes face. Stopping the music, she smiled down at the boy and laid the pipes down next to his make shift crib.
"It suites you." she said, declaring she had came up with a name. Turning toward the fairies she spoke again.
"Well my friends, my time has come." she announced and the smiles quickly faded from the pixies faces. "I just want all of you to know Neverland will always be my home, nothing and no one will be able to change that. And I know many of you still disagree with my decision…but it's the right thing." she turned her vision toward Tinkerbell.
"And you…will always be my best friend. I promise you that." biting back the tears again as Tinkerbell once again lovingly tugged on her hair. "I'll miss you all…and I'll be back someday, I will promise you that too." she glided over to the boy again, still fully awake and gazing up at her with his honey painted orbs.
"Take good care of 'im Tinker…he's the future of Neverland." Liluye said and ran a finger down the baby's cheek once more, causing him to let out a giggle.
Flying toward the tunnel she turned back to look at the people, the family she was leaving behind. Taking her time and locking eyes with each one of them, she gave a last glance toward her successor then toward Tinkerbell. Giving her lifelong friend her trademark crooked grin, she turned and raced out into the skies of Neverland.
While she had been down in the cavern saying her heavy hearted goodbyes the Neverland skies had returned to their usual sapphire splendor, wanting its former protector to see a beautiful Neverland setting before leaving. Before heading off toward the second star to the left, Liluye gave a promise to the island itself.
"I will return to you Neverland…I promise, I promise everyone. You're my true home no matter where I go." she whispered, but knew that the island could hear what she was feeling. She started off toward the star again, but turned around once again with her smirk to give one more comment and to announce to the island the name of their new protector and defender.
"Take good care of this place, it belongs to you now…Peter Pan."
'I hear the wind call my name The sound that leads me home again It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns To you I'll always return'
*******There we go. By the way if you really need to know, I don't own Peter Pan or the little piece of the Bryan Adams song. If you like it tell me in a review and I'll finish it.
