15. Lost Boy

Wickedly Clever

Part Fifteen – "Beneath all that power, you're nothing more than an unloved, lonely lost boy."

The Dark Jungle

Neverland

April 22nd, 2012

Present Day

Over the years, Peter went by many names.

Some were fashioned by Felix, Wendy, and the Lost Boys.

Some were fashioned by the people he met in the lands he visited.

Some were self-proclaimed.

Clever.

Sarcastic.

Leader.

Lost Boy.

Pied Piper.

The boy who wouldn't grow up.

Master of Manipulation.

King of Neverland.

Out of them all, after all these years…

Peter still considered himself a lost boy.

He could hear the crying. And sometimes… he cried, too.

Peter watched the Lost Boys dance around the fire.

He grinned.

It was time to pay a certain lady a visit.

A/N – 1/18/14: First, sorry for the long wait. I had a hard time with this chapter as well. (Told you it was getting harder now that we're back in Neverland, lol.) It's a lot of fun, though. ;) And on top of everything, I got a cold yesterday. So, I am not doing so well. But since I didn't call in sick today, I'm going to work with a cold. Ugh!

Second, how did I do with Peter? Do I still have him down? I hope so! I have a lot of plans for him. *grins devilishly* And I have many plans for Peter and Emma. ;) But next chapter, part sixteen, there will be a confrontation. And it won't be about who you guys think it will be about! LOL

Third, this chapter takes place at the same time as chapter fourteen. So, while Emma had a moment to herself, Peter watches the Lost Boys and decides to pay someone a visit. ;) And on this note, the plot-line will differ from the show's canon plot-line. The plan to rescue Henry will take a lot longer. Plus, because I have disregarded Peter and Rumple's stupid canon back-story, Peter and Rumple's interactions will be a lot different.

Skylark: Yes, these drabbles are all connected; so, they're centered on a plot. ;) And yes, Emma will be Peter's salvation and redemption, but I won't say anything more about it. ;) Like I mentioned above, I have a lot of plans for these two! ;)

Thanks to Skylark and chinapps22 for reviewing. As always, thank you all so much for reading and reviewing my fic. Hope you guys have a wonderful day. Love you all. Until next time! ;)
