Prologue
Winter had always been a quiet child. Since she had been living in Neverland her parents had died in a war that took place in the "Real" world.
However, even though she had lived in Neverland her entire life, or so it seemed, no one knew she was staying there. The Lost Boys had long since traveled to the "Real" world, wondering what growing up was like, and were living there peacefully, unless something had since changed.
Her grandfather, Peter Pan, had also been interested in the "Real" world, and traveled there to meet Wendy (who, he found out, was married, and, in a rage, married someone else, and then had a child, who had a child…). He had died of old age, even though he never expected it. That's what happens when you live in Neverland, under the false cloak of forever youngness.
Accordingly, whenever Winter entered a town, though, everyone would comment on how much of a young woman she had become since they had last seen her. She was annoyed, but she thought it best that they thought she only visited temporarily and simply dealt with the matter.
Then she met Silverpaw, and everything changed.

Silverpaw had lived among wolves since he was a pup. Of course, being Immortals, wolves of Neverland seemed to grow up even with the magical effect on people.
He grew rapidly, quite unlike other pups. He was soon outcast from the pack, and that was when he learned of the joys of being alone. He would have a fishing hole to himself when waters froze over, and he also wouldn't have to fight over drinking privileges at the streams. If he ever saw his pack, they would leave. He had a life on his own.
There were also some aspects that he found were not so great. Hunters would target the "lone wolf". Of course, luckily for him, Neverland tended to only open up to young people, and therefore, few hunters were let through the Gate. Also, those few that were tended to lack intelligence.
Soon he had settled into the life of a loner, fending for himself as he pleased and always catching what he wanted, and keeping it for himself without scolding.
Then, of course, when he met Winter, things changed drastically.

Tam had fended for herself whenever possible. She fought authority, being the classic rebel-type. Tough yet keeping to herself, Tam was independent her entire life.
She left to Neverland when she was 15, being sick of the rules and authority tying her down in the "Real" world. The moment she passed through the Gate she knew that everything would change. She was able to be more independent than in the "Real" world, and didn't have to keep up the rebel act.
Relieved as she was by that, she was always afraid that someone else would find out her secrets. And, of course, she had plenty. After all, who didn't?
But of course like so many other people, she had one deep, dark secret that she never wanted anyone to find out. With secrets like that, of course, someone always does find out.
And that person was Winter.

Set apart from his Arabian family, Ali was also content with the life of a loner. He was used to fending for himself at a young age. He learned to suck rocks for moisture and to gain water from his only companions, plants. Ali had a strange talent for growth of plants, as he also learned at a young age. He used his talent to help him survive in the harsh desert climate and to protect himself in the dense forests he wandered into.
When he was 13, he traveled by himself to a new land, which we shall hereby refer to as England. There he met Tam. When he was 15, he began to have slight feelings for her, but when she left, they died. He didn't even know where she left to.
Soon he heard legends of Peter Pan, Neverland, and Captain Hook. He was intrigued, and journeyed there himself.
Although Tam was there, he never did see her.
Until, of course, he met Winter.

Samoso had no recollection of how long he had lived in Neverland. It seemed that every 5 years he forgot something, and needed to re-learn it, but of course, since no one had been alive as long as him, he wasn't able to find out how long he had lived there once he had forgotten it.
He chose to take the form of a 13-year-old boy, although Immortals tended not to have a determined gender, only a species (his being human). He went through the same things that any 13-year old went through—except, of course, he went through it every day of every month of every year that he lived.
His life was monotonous…until, like everyone else, (sigh) he met Winter.
