Hey guys! So I've been playing a piano game, where I found this old English ballad: Scarborough Fair by Simon & Garfunkel... I did a lot of of research for the story and while I was looking many ideas for a new fan fiction popped up in my head...
There are different stories behind this song, I didn't pick the original story though. The story I found is more related to "The elvish knight". Anyway, I don't want to bother you too much with this :3 So here it goes:
Wendy has always been one of the daydream types, she often imagines how it would be if she was one of the fictional characters in her favorite books. She would sometimes spends days just reading books, she didn't really have other things to do... Her family couldn't effort much more things then food, clothes and a roof above their heads. But Wendy didn't bother, she was happy. However she always wanted to go see the world when she was older, to marry a sailor who would sail around the seven sees. Her parents thought this was foolish and she needs to be happy with a man who can care and love her.
"Wendy!", Wendy's little brother Michael tugged on her night gown, "Just tell us one more story!", Michael pleaded. Michael and John always asked Wendy to tell them stories before they went to bed. Wendy didn't really mind, because they loved her stories and Michael would look at her with those big blue eyes which she thought was adorable.
''Well, okay then, what story do you want to hear?'', Wendy already knew which story they want to hear, they would always ask for the same story every time. But she didn't mind because it also was her favorite story.
''The tale of Peter Pan'', John said while Michael nodded. They all dreamed of being taken by the shadow of Peter Pan to Neverland, especially Wendy. She often wondered if she could be the first Lost Girl. She would practice sword fighting with her little brothers, to prepare for Neverland, just in case the Shadow would actually take her to the wonderful island full of magic, mermaids and pirates. She thought of flying over the hills with Peter Pan, she secretly had a crush on him. Her brothers could see it clearly, but they never spoke of it though...
After she told the story Michael and John were both already fast asleep, Wendy smiled and tucked them into their beds. She gently stroke John's cheek, he looked so peaceful when he was sleeping. She didn't really want them to grow up, they both still looked so cute. But when she would let them know they both get mad at her and said they were tough and strong. Then Wendy would chuckle and say they were right...
Just before she went to bed she thought she saw something or someone staring at her from behind the window of the nursery. She opened the windows and looked around, she thought it was the shadow of Peter Pan who would finally take her to Neverland. But she saw nothing, she was disappointed for a moment and glared at the Second star to the right for a moment but went to bed, finding herself stupid for thinking Peter wanted to bring her to the magical Neverland. A tear escaped her eye, but she wiped it quickly away, wanting to be strong, not to cry because a fairytale character didn't want her to come to Neverland...
But maybe she was wrong, maybe this Peter Pan did want her to come to his island...
Thank you so much for reading! This is pretty new to me, so feel free to give me tips and maybe some spelling corrections, I kinda suck at grammar xd... I'm going to upload a new chapter as fast as I could, but I'm really busy with school, so I'm sorry if it might take a while... The next chapter is gonna be longer, I didn't really have much time today. Anyway, I really hope you like this story so far...
Reviews are always appreciated!
