Chapter 13: A Test of Humanity

The pain Lucy had witnessed had not only been kept to the young girl. The pain of every wound inflicted on the poor helpless child surfaced a scar or a drip of blood on the older Lucy.

By the time the torture had ended, Lucy was near death and was flat out on her back, her arms stretched out either side of her; like Jesus on the cross.

She was near death and she had visions of all of her family around her. She had visions of her mother and father, back home in London. They were one big happy family, with no problems at all.

Though this dream soon faded, as Lucy thought the point of death was finally about to consume her, she closed her eyes. What seemed like an eternity, was a mere second in reality. Opening her eyes Lucy looked around the dark walls a little.

She hadn't passed on, she didn't think and the pain was gone. The blood erased. Sitting up a little, Lucy looked around. There was a small opening in the side of the rock face and a small light began to shine through. Sun Rise.

Crawling on her hands and knees to it, she broke away bits of jagged rock with her bare hands to make the opening wide enough to fit her through. Just.

Sliding out a little, she looked out. There were a group of people below her, quite a way down. Ahead of them a group of men. But they seemed, different. Her gut feeling told her that much. They got closer to the group of people, who seemed to be stuck with no where to go.

As they got arrived, they pulled out their weapons and aimed them at the people below her. The people below her consisted of men and women, children who were scared and crying out loudly. The drop from where Lucy was was enough to possibly kill yourself, should you wish to.

The men began to load their weapons with what looked like gun powder. Two other men who had already loaded their weapons stood back making sure these people below her didn't move.

Lucy was sure they hadn't noticed her there; she couldn't understand why these people where being killed. But then as if by magic, something magical happened before her eyes.

The men who had finished loading their weapons stopped and observed all the people, they began to glow a mystical purple colour. Their bodies began to lift off the ground slowly; the males of this group now floating mid air lowered themselves and offered a peace with the men who threatened to take their lives.

In a moment of pure despair, the leader of the group of bad men aimed his weapon and fired. The form of the dead man now falling to the ground with a thud. The other men began following suite until the males of the group were dead, leaving only the women and children, who now had all landed back on the floor too.

It appeared without the men they had no power. The men and the leader moved forward. The leader of the pack walked up to one of the women, putting his hand on her waist, he turned her around harshly. Her face was smashed against the wall as the leader looked around.

Take the rest of them back to the camp! He ordered. The men complied, grabbing the women, bar the one the leader held and now their were only two.

Lucy watched as the man dropped his trouser pushing the woman forward. His member was ready in his hand, Lucy couldn't take it, and she couldn't let the poor woman be raped.

Though she could possibly end her life, Lucy sat on the ledge and pushed forward, just in time, falling she landed on top of the man, who fell backwards, Lucy on top of him. Recovering from the drop, Lucy was shoved away forcefully, her head almost smashing against a rock. The man stood, his trousers still round his ankles. He was an old and grey man. His form was thin and bony.

He pulled his weapon up and Lucy rolled as he fired, he missed her, but only just. Standing Lucy grabbed a thick tree branch and swung it as hard as she could at his head. Luckily it connected and the man fell to the ground. Dead.

Lucy breathed a little, dropping the weapon and looking to the woman, who slumped down on to the floor. Walking over to her slowly, Lucy bent down on her knees and took the woman gently in her arms.

The last thing she remembered from there was a feeling of being complete and a feeling of not knowing what would come next.

--------'--------v-------

Back in the real world cave, the elderly woman from before had appeared. Wendy sat up from the arms of Peter and stood. Captain Hook, who was now really very worried bout Lucy, stood too.

The elderly woman walked around Lucy's form slowly. Turning her back on the three to stare at Lucy she spoke,

"Lucy has passed her tests." She said simply.

"That means she can stay in Neverland, That means she coming home!" Wendy said excitedly. That was the first time she'd ever referred to Neverland as home.

The elderly woman turned and looked to Wendy.

"I have spoken with your daughter, mere moments ago..."

-----'-----v----------------

Lucy looked up for a split second, the woman she'd saved, turned into an elderly woman. Lucy fell backwards shocked. The woman held her hand out calmingly.

"Its okay child. The woman you saved is at piece with your God now." Her voice soft and unwavering. Lucy stared at her leaning back on her hands still trying to comprehend what was going on.

"How did you..?" She started but didn't know how to put the sentence. The elderly woman nodded and smiled a little looking to Lucy with a gentle caring smile.

"Where I come from, things like this are everyday things, you are a part a few selected people Lucy. You have no future, you were born without purpose, therefore your void of being a human, and you seek to live in a world that is not your destiny."

"My destiny? Void?" Lucy asked more confused than ever. The elderly woman held out her hand and Lucy looked to it before slowly taking it. In a matter of seconds Lucy felt a mass of energy come and go from her body.

"Come with me, come home." The elderly woman said. Lucy was wary of her, she'd been tricked before. Sighing, she shook her head,

"This is a trick." she finally replied. The elderly woman shook her head and knelt before Lucy, taking both of Lucy's hands.

"The place you will go will be the home you should have had, the parents you should have been born to. Lucy you were not meant to be born here, there was a confusion and you were sent to a world that didn't exist in your mind, you were forced to live a reality that was not your own. Lucy the parents you think are your parents are not. You are one of us."

Lucy suddenly felt a sudden wave of realisation, she was curious about this world and what lay ahead of her. She thought about Neverland, but she had to find out about this world, about what this woman was saying and what this incredible sensation of power was.

"I will go with you." Lucy said softly. Then after a few seconds her body left in a glorious glow of multi coloured light.

----------'-------v---------

"You spoke with her?" Wendy asked, the three people all looked on curious.

"Lucy has decided that she wants to explore her new reality and that she has declined returning to the real world for now."

Wendy heart felt like it broke into a million pieces. Her head spun and she felt hot tears begin to fall down her cheeks. Captain Hook began to walk out of the cave when a rumble beneath his feet caused him to look back.

Lucy's form grew bright and the light expanded to fill the whole room for a few seconds before it finally vanished. Captain Hook, Wendy and Peter now stood alone, in the once full room.

Long chapter soz, lol I'll try and get another out tomoz I promise :D
