Chap. 2

Sophie's Pov

"The name is Sophie." I informed the group of boys. "And you are?"

"We are the lost boys. I am Slightly, this is Nibs, Curly, The Twins, and Tootles." Each boy stepped forward when their name was called. This boys were very intriguing. The looked liked they never had a bath and never used a brush. And the lost boys? How did they get that name? "Come one, Peter will want to see you" the slightly boy said. Grabbing my arm and pulling me up causing me to gasp in pain. Yep, RIbs were definitely damaged in some way.

"You're hurt?" Tootles asked worriedly.

"Yea, when I fell I must have bruised or broke a few ribs."

"Fell? You fell onto Neverland?" The Twins asked looking shocked. I nodded still clutching my side, which may have just made the pain worse.

"Oh Peter will definitely be very curious about you. Come along, we must see him at once." Slightly said pulling me along.

"We can help patch you up when we get to the hideout." Nibs informed me.

"Hideout? Are you refugees? And you have a doctor at the hideout?" I asked. I couldn't help but wonder what the heck was going on here on this tiny island.

"What is a refugee? And no doctors. Doctors would be grown ups and the only grown ups here are the pirates and the indians." Curly informed me. Now I was officially worried about where I was.

We finally got to what they called their hideout, it looked like a big old tree to me. Then suddenly I was being pulled up to the tree and slightly open some door and pushed me in. I took a few steps and suddenly I was sliding into darkness. I came out in a large room that looked like people had been living in here. I looked up and on a large, tree,chair,throne type thing was a boy that looked my age with wild blonde hair and piercing blue eyes.

"Who are you?" He asked leaning forward looking very curious. "I am Peter Pan. The wonderful boy who never grows up! Now who are you?"

"I am sophie. I uh fell onto this island." I answered sheepishly.

"Fell? So you were flying! But how? Do you have a fairy friend too? Where are you from?"

"A fairy friend? Well..uh..yea kinda I guess. I was flying in a sleigh, uh...Santa's sleigh."

"Santa? The man who is supposed to bring presents? But he does not come to Neverland. No one does."

"Well, that is because him and the other guardians didn't even know this place existed." I argue, standing up for my family.

"Guardians?" Peter asked looking even more curious.

"Yes, guardians. Like the sandman, Easter bunny, tooth fairy and Jack frost."

"Oh..We know jack frost!" The twins cried out in unison. "He only comes when Peter is gone because winter never come when Peter is here."

"Well I want to meet him! I want to meet them all!" Peter cried out.

"You probably will. They will be looking for me and will come search this island." I informed Peter.

"Looking for you? Why? Aren't you a runaway?"

"No, I am not a runaway. The guardians are my family."

"I think you are a runaway" Peter informed me. "I will go to the indians and see if one of them can come help heal you up some" Peter flew out of the tree house. Leaving me with the lost boys who were all looking at me with big eyes full of wonder.

"So...Are you going to be our mother now?" The twins asked me.

Bunny's POV

I have to find her. I can't lose her. She has become the most important person is my life. I would hate myself if something happened to her. I'm not sure I like the sound of Neverland or the mysterious Peter Pan. Collector of things lost? Well, Sophie may be lost at the moment but she will be back to me soon and I won't let some child stand in my way.

Peter's POV

Who is this mysterious girl? Could she be the one that I have been waiting for? Both Wendy and Jane left me. No one ever wants to stay, who wouldn't want to stay in Neverland? I must make Sophie stay. The boys will finally have a mother and I will have someone. She seems to want these guardians to find so she can leave. I will have to make her love Neverland before they find her, I will not let them take her away. Lost boys are lost for seven days before they come here, but a lost girl is more rare, surely I don't have to wait as long. She should already be mine. Everything in Neverland is mine. I rule this island. I get to decide who stays and who goes. Sophie will stay in Neverland, one way or another. Even if that means breaking her heart.

Sophie's POV

Will I be their mother? This has to be a joke. I bet Jack is behind this he always comes up with great pranks. This is all just too crazy to be happening in real life. I am going to get jack back for this, get him back hardcore. Bunny will help me, that is if he doesn't beat jack for scaring him. Bunny has to be freaking out. He might be tough and majorly badass but he worries so much sometimes. I remember when Jack took me to Antarctica to see the penguins and I only had a light jacket. Bunny went on a huge rant about how I could have froze to death and that Jack was an idiot. Or the time when I broke my ankle while ice skating with Jack, Bunny threatened to break Jack's ankle to make it even.

"Please be our mother?" Tootles looked at me with big eyes.

"Whoa guys. I'm only thirteen. I don't know the first thing about being a mother." I told them hoping it would stop this whole mother craze.

"Can you tell stories?" Nibs asked. I thought for a moment before nodding, I wasn't the best story teller but my adventures with the guardians gave me a lot of memories that most people would think of as stories.

"Then you're perfect." Whispered Slightly.

"Guys, you are seem sweet and really fun but I have a family. They will be here looking for me soon. I informed them. They all looked down with sad faces. Oh great, I just broke these boys hearts. Aren't I a great person? Of course I'm not. I always knew that.

"Lost boys! Go find some more ood. We are getting low and have another mouth to feed now." Peter came in commanding the boys. They all ran out excitedly. "An Indian healer will be here in a few hours to see if she can do anything for you"

"Thank you. I appreciate it." I told him.

"So are you running from your family?" Peter asked me.

"No, The only family I have is a brother and the guardians and I love them all very much. I am not running from anything."

"I meet runaways all the time and deal with lost things constantly. I can spot someone who is lost and running."

"Well you are wrong this time." I challenged him. Seriously, what was it with this guy and running away.

"No, I am not. You are lost. And you are running, but from what?" Peter got in my face and challenged me back. We stayed like this for a few minutes but it felt like hours. " I am sure you could use some rest" Petter stated and walked into another room.

Flashback five years ago

"Emma, Emma I am scared." I shook my friend awake.

"It is okay. There is nothing to be scared of go back to sleep."

"Emma, I want to go home. I want my mommy."

"Sophie, it is four in the morning. I am sure she is sleeping. You just had a bad dream, I will stay up with you until you fall asleep."

"No, I want my mom."

"Okay I will get my mom and then we will give your mother a call and see if she can get you or something." Emma walked out of the room and returned with her mom and the phone. Her mom punched in the numbers and handed me the phone.

"Mommy, I had nightmares. I want to go home."

I woke up to see an indian woman leaning over me and Peter Pan standing by the wall. I could hear the lost boys yell and playing outside.

"You will heal just fine dear. Here is some herbs to take, the will help with plain and fight off infection of the cuts you have. You have bruised ribs and one feels broken. There is not much that can be done for them but I put a wrap on you that goes around your ribs. It will limit your movement some so that can't move in a way that will damage them more. Like when you wrap a sprained ankle." The old indian woman informed me.

"Thank you so much" I told her

"Just take it easy on yourself" She got up and talked quietly with Peter before leaving. I was left to my own thoughts. Why am I having the nightmares again? I thought they stopped. I am never going to escape those dreams. Once the woman left Peter walked over to me.

"So, want to see some of Neverland?" Peter asked me holding a hand out.

"I don't know how much walking I will be able to do."

"We can fly. I will teach you how."

"You are gonna teach me to fly?"

"Yes, Tink come here and give her some dust." A little fairy came flying around me covering me in sparkling dust. "Now just think happy thoughts. "I thought of when I first met Bunny, Of the day I saw the penguins, and the night the whole gang had a sleepover together at North's for my tenth birthday. "Look down Sophie." I suddenly realized I was no longer touching the floor.

"I'm flying! I am really doing it! All by myself!"

"Yes you are" Peter said looking almost proud. "Now let's go explore!" Peter exclaimed grabbing my hand.

I must admit Neverland is pretty amazing. He took me past the indian encampment, showed me a pirate ship which caused us to almost get shot, took me to a huge skull shaped rock, took me to see mermaids who tried to drown me, and now we were in a beautiful clearing full of flowers. It has truly been an amazing day. Neverland is fantastic. It was like a corner of the world that nothing bad could touch and time stopped. Part of me didn't want it to end. I could feel my worries disappearing.

"So looks like you enjoy Neverland." Peter stated with confidence.

"Yes. So beautiful and peaceful. Like nothing bad can touch it." I replied with my back to Peter, looking at the clouds.

"Well as long as I am around nothing can. Nothing ever does."

"Yea, wouldn't that be nice. Nothing bad, no worry or pain."

"Think of all the joy you'll find, if you leave the world behind." Peter whisper in my ear, suddenly right behind me.
