The first thing I noticed was the sound of the ocean, the waves crashing as they met the shore line. The second thing I noticed was the pain I felt throughout my whole body.
After I became aware of these things I heard voices speaking from above me. "Who do you think she is?"
"I'm not sure, but I doubt Pan will be happy to see a girl on the island."
"I don't think she's breathing, is she dead?"
There was some shuffling before I was jabbed in my side. I let out a groan from the pain it caused, only to cause the pounding in my head to become worse.
"Nope. She's definitely not dead. Wake up, girl." The second voice from before spoke. What the hell is going on? I thought as I brought my hand to hold my head, I opened my eyes to see the dark, night sky above me. I propped myself up and looked around in confusion. What the- and in that moment everything came rushing back. The fight, falling asleep, my opened window, the shadow taking me away. I gasped as I remembered it all, quickly standing up only to stumble.
"Whoa, careful there. Don't hurt yourself now." Someone said as they caught me. I looked over to see a young boy with light brown hair and brown eyes holding my arm, making sure that I didn't fall over. He was wearing a cloak and was staring at me in concern.
I glanced around the area, "Where am I?" The raspiness of my voice surprising me. I clutched onto my head as it continued to pound, trying to piece together what happened after I was snatched from my bedroom.
"You're in Neverland." A second voice said, their voice more monotone. I looked over to see a tall boy with messy blonde hair, a feather woven into it. His cool blue eyes analyzed me, though his face showed no emotion. "Who are you? How did you get here?"
I lightly shook my head, turning my gaze to the ocean. I saw nothing but water for miles. "The shadow. It-it took me from my room. Grabbed me and flew straight towards the sky."
He only hummed in response, "Well, I'm sure Pan will know what to do with you. Let's take her back to camp, Rufio." Pan? Like the ginger in tights? Rufio led me towards the jungle, the other boy following close behind. Having no choice I followed. I leaned heavily on Rufio, my right leg shooting up pain signals anytime I stepped on it.
Rufio, noticing this and allowed me to put my arm around his neck. "The shadow let you take quite a fall I see." He said, letting out a sigh.
We walked in silence for the rest of the way, the only sound was my occasional grunt of pain. When Rufio muttered almost there I looked up from the ground to see a glow coming from up ahead. Sounds of yelling and drums could be heard from the area.
Fear started to creep into my mind, after pushing it aside for so long it finally broke through. Who are these boys? Why are you here? How do you know they won't kill you? My breathing started to accelerate, I attempted to calm myself down, feeling a panic attack come on. No, it's ok. They haven't done anything yet. It's not like you have anywhere to go. If this is Neverland than it's an island. I let myself break free from my thoughts once we broke through the tree line. I looked around the clearing, seeing a bonfire burning and boys spread throughout doing different activities. Everything stopped once we entered, the only sound was the fire crackling.
"Who do we have here?" A voice spoke, breaking the silence. The boys parted like the red sea as someone came through. He looked to be about eighteen, his blonde hair slightly ruffled as it rested above his eyes. His grey eyes staring in mine as if he could see my soul. A light smirk was planted on his face as he walked towards us.
"We found her on the beach, it appears the shadow picked her up from her room. Although she didn't call for him." The stoic boy said. The boy, Pan I believe, raised his eyebrows up in surprise.
"Is that so? Well, that makes things even more interesting, now doesn't it?" He started to circle around me, as if assessing me.
That's when Rufio spoke, "Yeah, she's also badly injured. The shadow must have dropped her from a high height. I think she has a concussion and her leg appears to be broken." He only hummed in response, clearly lost in thought. Spots started appearing in my vision, my mind was spinning.
In a flash Pan was in front of me, "What is your name, girl?" I attempted to speak, but before I could say anything I felt myself fall forward. My eyes slid close and I felt the darkness start to consume me. I felt someone catch me before I hit the ground. The last thing I heard was Pan's voice, "It's alright, my lost girl. I've finally found you."
Alright, Chapter 2 of my redo. Let me know what you all think!
