"Edward, I am sorry for what I did," I speak as he helps me up onto the back of his horse.
He looks up at me and smiles softly.
"I'm not," he states before leaping up himself onto the brown leather saddle, "I thought about what you said about magic and I've decided to give them a chance."
My heart skips a beat at his words.
"I also need to tell you something..." he says, requesting the horse to start moving forward at a resonable pace.
My hands wrap themselves around his torso, enjoying the warmth that comes along with it. Even under his shirt, I can tell he is a well built man.
"Okay..." I whisper out, leaning my head on his back and closing my eyes.
"The thing is Wendy," he starts, "I lied to you."
What does he mean?
What could he have lied about?
"I am the new government member and the vote depends on my choice whether we ban magic creatures or not."
He's the new member?
He's the decider of the vote.
It feels nice that he has told me his secret. So nice that I suddenly want to tell him mine. But I know that if I do, he may hate me for it. But if I don't, he will hate me when he finds out I've been lying this whole time about who I am.
I'm going to have to tell him.
But not now.

The opportunity came too soon as I walked down for breakfast with Edward at my side. He always manages to look beautiful, his hair stroked back in a posh manner. It somehow makes him more stunning, my heart missing a beat every time I look at his face.
He was silent, the space for me to confess while he was still in a very happy mood. I knew it was wrong to keep something from someone when they should know.
"Edward, I have something to tell you," I start.
He hums in a response, brushing a finger softly down the side of my face.
"I lied as well,"
Breathing in and out, I try to see how this will end. If he gets angry again, there's no telling if he will stop me from leaving.
"Tell me Wendy," he whispers.
"You know how I said I was human..." I start.
"...you're not..." he completes, letting go of my hand.
"Edward!" I call out as he walks past me, "Please!"
Tears run down my cheeks as I run after him, my hand grabbing onto his wrist. He stops immediately, turns around and looks deep in my eyes.
Then his lips softly meet mine.

It's been three years since Edward kissed me for the first time. He went to the council, choose that magic should be treated fairly and then swooped back home. The witch that was working for him was given one of the largest rooms in the house and better payment for her cleaning. The dwarves in the kitchen usually ate meals with us at dinnertime.
All is well.
"Wendy," Edward whispers.
I look up from my seat beside the fire, the warmth heating my face. Edward is standing in front of me with the fire's glow lighting up his beautiful features. Everything seemed so peaceful, the look on his face making me feel completely at home.
"Wendy, will you do me the honor of being my wife," he speaks, kneeling suddenly down on one knee.
I won't lie and say I wasn't taken by surprise. But I knew this question was soon to be asked. Edward and I have been slowly growing our relationship from dating to marriage.
"Of course," I answer with a large smile.
He grins back, leans in and gives me another one of his soft and pleasurable kisses.
The ring slides onto my slender finger, gracefully sitting there in the light of the fire. I stare at it for a long time before going to bed.

The rest of this story is going to go by fast because I really want to make the Peter Pan one
It's been nagging in my mind for ages but I had to complete this before going onto the sequel.
Just a few more chapters and this will be sorted.
