Hi there.
Here is the next chapter and I want to thank everyone who rewieved and of course a big thank you to my beta: A bookworm-named-steph
:D
I owe nothing
I opened my eyes and saw a boy looming over me.
He seemed to be my age, maybe a little older, 17 or 18.
"Who are you?" I asked him and was suprised at how calm my voice sounded.
I looked up at him, still laying on the wet sand.
"My name isn't any of your concerns." He said and I nodded.
"Is it any of my concerns where I am? Because I really would like to know." I said.
He grinned.
"You are in Neverland. Now stand up, we have to be back before dawn."
When I didn't move, he grabbed my arm and I had no other choice than stumbling after him into the jungle.
I had no idea how he found the way, for me everything looked the same.
After a few steps I was almost blind.
The moonlight was gone and I was almost blind.
The only way for me to keep track was by following his blond head.
I tripped over sticks and stones and whatever was laying there.
"Where are you bringing me?" I asked after five more minutes.
I was at the edge of starting to scream or/and cry.
" Where. Are.?" I asked again, this time louder.
" Let me go. Let me f*** again go." I screamed and felt once more my heart speeding up.
Hammering in my chest.
But this time I really could't fight down the Panik.
And who could blame me?
Kidnapped, fallen into the ocean and now dragged through a jungle by some crazy boy.
I grabbed his hair and yanked him back.
"Ahh, a feisty one. Hadn't had one of you in a time. " He said and threw me over his shoulder.
"Let me go. Damnit. What's wrong with you?" I asked angry.
He laughed.
"You should get a new attitude, mate. Pan won't like it."
"Who the hell is Pan?" I screamed, frustrated about the lack of informations.
"You will meet him. And be carefull. I may find your attitude amusing but believe me when I say that he won't like it if you don't do what he tells you."
"Aha." I said cold.
I crossed my arms and didn't say a word.
Okey, that didn't look good for me.
Unknown place, unknown people with- how it seemed- a need for a good psychiatrist.
I felt the jungle becoming thinner with every step he took.
And then I found myself on my back.
Damn, that hurt.
"That wasn'tt very nice." I complained.
When I looked around I saw more boys watching me.
The wore all dark clothes- but that also could have been the darkness from around.
A bonfire was cracking a few meters away from me and the moon was shining through the trees.
When I sat up I saw HIM.
The boy with the pipe.
He was sitting on rock, a smug grin on his lips.
"I see, he finally arrived. Well, what's your name my boy?" he asked. And I looked around.
Who was he talking to?
"Answer." The boy who carried me whispered.
"Are you talking to me?" I asked the boy with the pipe.
He stood up and I saw that he pretty tall. His lean body making him seem even taller.
"Of course I'm talking to you." He said and I heared some kind of accent in his voice, but it was to weak for me to tell what kind it was.
"Well, then I'm sorry to disapoint you but I'm not one of your boys " I said.
"Then who are you?" asked and looked down at me.
The boy at my side started shifting and I wondered what made him that uncomfortable.
The Piper could't be older than him.
" My name is Percey." I said.
"And Percey. Why do you think that you aren't one of the boys here?" he asked.
I crossed my arms and lifted my chin.
"Maybe because I have no idea where HERE is." I said.
He laughed and I saw dimples on his cheek.
" You're in Neverland." he said and laughed again.
I looked at him as if he were crazy because- well he was.
" No I'm not in Neverland. Good joke by the way." I said.
I felt the other boys watching me but no one said a word.
" I why -if I may ask- do you believe that you're not in Neverland`" he asked.
" Because its just a story, a fairytale. Nothing else."
"Don't you believe in fairytales?" he asked.
I sighed.
" Listen is this is some kind of joke-"
"Ohh, no. Not a joke. I saw you watching the stars so many times. You were so lost in your world so I brought you here."
I raised an eyebrow.
" Yeah. About that. Can you bring me back? I mean its-ahm, nice? here. But I prefer to sleep in my own bed rather than on the ground with a bunch of crazy boys." I said.
He cocked his head and I saw something behind his eyes that made me shiver.
"Crazy boys?" He asked quiet and the only things I heared were my breathing, my heard and the fire. Even the animals in the jungle seemed to be still.
" But aren't you one of us? Aren't you a crazy boy? Wouldn't you like to live here with us? Ruling? I can show you how to do magic and how to fly." he asked and I could't help but laugh.
"Dude you`re taking this way to serious. I mean come on. You can`t think that I would believe this."
" Well, it's the truth." He said and I laughed even louder.
" Okay. It's the truth. I totally believe you." I said sarcastic when I stopped laughing.
He came one step closer and then I felt his hand around my throat.
When I looked around, trying to find something to defend myself I looked down and would have screamed if I could. We were almost two meters in the air. My eyes widen, but the they started to fall close when the lack of air made everything e let me fall the moment before I passed out.I felt a sharp pain in my wrist when I fell on the ground and I started to cough.
" Holy s***!" I cursed and tried to breath.
" So ,do you believe me now?" asked and I saw a smile in his face.
" Who are you?" I asked.
" My Names Pan. Peter Pan. And you Perce are from now on, now of my lost boys." I said.
" There is just one problem." I said and stood up again.
" I'm not a boy"
"What?" He asked shocked. I opened my braid and let my Hair fall around my head in dark curls.
Then I stretched my hand out for him to shake it.
" My name isn't Percey. I'm Persephone. Persephone Cloak. Nice to meet you." I said and this time I felt a smile on my own lips while is face turned from irritation to anger
