Chapter 10: Peter Pan
"It's not him. Henry is not the truest believer." I tell Felix
"Well then why do you have this picture of him?"
"Maybe he will lead me to the truest believer. It has to be someone who believes in me more then anyone." I say rubbing my head.
"Like Emma." Felix replies.
"Now why would you say that?"
"I saw her. She was dancing towards the party. She knocked over one of the boys and said that it was her favorite song." Felix stood proud and tall
"She is here? In Never Land?" I take her locket from my pocket and open it. The picture of her is old but still beautiful.
"Yes. I told her you were dying."
I walk out of the hut I live in and run to my thinking tree. Not to long after I get there the shadow comes.
"What do you want Peter?" The shadow says
"Emma. She is on the island again and you must bring her to me. She is the truest believer"
"Emma? That girl?" The shadow moves his fingers
"What about her?"
"Her shadow. She doesn't have one. I noticed last time she was on the island. No shadow. No heart." He says laughing.
"What?"
"Well most people when they get rid of their shadow they die. Emma got rid of hers but she gave it her heart. She didn't want to let anyone else to take your place. She doesn't have her heart in her."
I storm off walking to the water.
"What's wrong? Getting tired? Why don't you take a dirt nap? Rest for a few billion years?"
"Shut up shadow." My heart hurts and I clutch my side.
"I need to gain her trust again. Get her to take her heart back and then..."
"You forgot?!" The shadow yells at me. "She will die if you take her heart! Idiot! How did you become ruler of this place?!"
"Go away. Back to Dark Hollow. We will talk later."
