Welcome to all, i'm back with chapter two. Please R&R and i'll see you at the bottom of the page.
Disclaimer: I do not own Peer Pan.
The weird smooth feeling of rolling waves underneath my feet, the brightness of a sun above my eyes, and the sound of seagulls wakes me as I cover my face from the blinding light overhead. I can't seem to open my eyes as I lie there, wherever I am, feeling cold and wet while tasting salt at the tip of my lips. I don't know where I am or what happened to me. The last I remember was being in Wendy's room with the boys wondering of a plan to get to Neverland.
Neverland, it still seems so impossible that it exists and yet I know I can no longer doubt it. I am, of course, from that magical world even when all the memories seem more like dreams I had as a child. Even at this moment I'm not sure whether to believe it or not.
Sighing, I lay my hand down next to me as I rub my palm on the ground and feel rough ticklish grains shift under the pads of my finger like cold sticky sand…wait, sand?
Opening my eyes I find a deep blue sky overhead with soft white clouds drifting along making small figures. A few birds fly overhead as some dive down into the dark blue water catching fish to eat. A small breeze blows at my wet hair as I wipe my face from the sand that has stuck to me like glue as I look around to find a thick jungle behind me looming as high and tall skyscrapers that I've seen in pictures in school.
"Peter," a small questioning voice calls out and I turn to find a small girl waving my way from the trees as she runs toward me with what seems like a basket of fruit in her hands, "Peter, you're back," the girl sits next to me setting her basket aside and taking my face in her small pale hands while examining me thoroughly. As she does this I notice her short cropped rusty red hair and pale complexion with lots of freckles framing the young girls face.
"Nellie?" I ask feeling my throat hoarse and dry from probably drinking too much salt water as I recognize small girl in front of me.
Nellie lets go of my face and places her hands on her hips looking offended and angry, "Of course it's me, who else would I be," she stands up and looks down at me while tapping her foot furiously on the sand, "Peter Pan, wherever have you been. I've been worried sick about you," she wails flailing her arms out like a hurt bird and I chuckle amused as I stand up feeling sore all over as I look around again wondering how I got here. From where I stand I can clearly see dead man's cove in the distance, "PETER!" Nellie yells and I look down at her scared, "You've grown older,"
I look down at myself and notice the soaked and sand filled trousers I'm wearing, the same clothing I had on when I was in Wendy's room back in London just a moment ago. I shrug off the soaked coat and drape it over my arm as I look back down at Nellie, "Nellie, have you found anyone new on the island?" I ask ignoring her comment and she crosses her arms over her chest.
"Why," she asks defiantly and that's when I hear the sound of excited screams coming from the foliage, "What on earth," Nellie crows as she quickly runs behind me clutching onto my shirt and peering from under my arm toward the strange sounds coming from the jungle.
A few minutes later the boys run out from the jungle jumping up in joy as they push and trip each other while laughing erratically as they head my way. I chuckle as I wait for them to get closer when I hear Nellie scream behind me louder than anything I have ever heard in my entire life.
"Savages, Peter they're going to kill us," she clings tighter to me and buries her face in my shirt as I try to pry her off feeling quickly irritated.
"Stop being ridiculous," I say while trying to get her off of me.
"They're going to kill me," she squeaks holding on tighter.
"Then don't give them a reason to kill you," I yell while pushing her off of me.
She stumbles backwards and lands on her butt as she stares up at me shocked and confused with tears forming in her eyes. She hasn't changed at all. I thrust my hand her way and help her up and she clings onto my arm as I give up trying to make her release me. I hadn't remembered how clingy she'd been getting before I left.
"Peter," Duke asks looking at me.
"Who's that?" Binks finishes as both twins stare at Nellie both curious and annoyed.
"This," I say as I point down at the small girl, "Is Nellie," I look down at Nellie, "Nellie, these are my lost boys," I say while pointing to all the boys as they wave a bit shy.
Nellie glares at them and holds my arm tighter as I hear her whisper, "Savages," under her breath and I roll my eyes.
Pulling my arm out of her grasp I turn to the island looking up over the trees smelling in the fresh salty breeze and notice how much I missed Neverland. I still can't believe it's been a year that I had forgotten about this magical land to grow up. Something I had always promised myself I would never do in all of my life as long as I lived.
But then again, I had left it all for Wendy.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and more will be on the way, and because it's only the beginning I have nothing much to say so onward.
Chapter 3 - Awakening will be out on July 12, so look out for that.
