Neverland

Ch. Dreams of Wanting

SLAM!!!

Hatred and relentless, uncontrolled anger coursed through him as he stripped off haphazardly and perhaps, what could be even considered, as parlously, his too suffocating, painful reminders of the evening's events.

He reached for his crimson silk bathroom, and, feeling in the need to unwind in the temporary, but , oh so tempting, world of relaxation, he turned the bronze brass leading to his pleasantly inviting bath tub.

Letting the water fill, he stared at the faucet lazily, spontaneously thinking of waterfalls.

Cascading waterfalls that seemed to be limitless. They flowed into pools of crystal water that was so clear that it seemed almost...deceitful. But how could it, when it was so pure.. so perfect....

Clink. Clink.

His calming thought process was rudely interrupted by a sloshing, pings of dripping, which revealed that the capacity of the tub had been surpassed some time ago, was relieving its self and seeking space, all over his bathroom floor.

"Jesus." James cursed and hurried, while trying not to slip clumsily over the invading water, to turn off the freely flowing faucet.

He surveyed the damage, and seeing that it was minor, drained some of the water in the tub, so that it would cause more to flow out when he added more mass to the tub, and decided that he would try and clean up the rest so as not impose more work on the maids.

Sinking himself into the long awaited, sensual abyss, he let a satisfied sigh escape him as he rested leisurely against the wall of the basin, trying to make himself stretched out and more comfortable.

What a mess he had finally made of things. He had tried so hard to keep that entire party a completely grand affair. Laughter...Drinks...Smiles. But there was no word to express the look on Emma du Maurier's face when he lashed out at her.

He paused and then thought for a smile. If she got any redder, she might have exploded from the intense pressure of potent fury.

He finished scouring himself of those more then dirt, he climbed out of the tub and drained the water, and blew out the candle.

Changing into breeches and a matching off-white collared shirt, he pulled back his comforters of satin, and clambered in.

He was tired, but he hadn't put the kids to bed. But at this moment he had found, what most of us would call it, our perfect sleeping spot. The one that, once found, causes us to become lazy and our limbs to become like water. So, feeling all of these symptoms, James found himself being magnetically and mentally bound to the bed. Oh well, well when in doubt, play along.

So he embraced his weakness and tendency to sleep and drifted off to his, hopefully, uninterrupted dreams.

Before you go into Neverland, you must know one thing. It varies each time, and to every other person. It reflects the moods in which you went to sleep in and it even obeys your own demands of contents. Neverland is the one place where James Barrie felt safe in, and, judging by his day, that was the first place in which he wanted to end up.

So obeying his commands, his Neverland was working at top speed to give their customer, or in their words 'visitor', what he wanted.

And smiling in his sleep, Neverland got their request.

He wanted to see...

Sylvia.

A/N I know this is extremely short compared to my last ones, especially the third one which happened to be seventeen pages on Microsoft, but I needed an idea as to how Syliva is going to important to this story, so I came up with this. I'll update soon me hearties. R&R savvy.
