Eric stumbled through the brightly colored jungle. Every caw, rustle tap of snap made him jump a foot off the ground. He had been running around for about half an hour, but that was only Eric's guess, his watch had been lost in the waves of the ocean. He sat down on a stump to rest a minute when he heard shouts from not too far away.

"BOY!" Slightly screamed, "WHERE ARE YOU?"

"HELLOOOOOOO? ARE YOU OUT THERE?" Tootles yelled. Eric ducked behind a tree as they passed him. Why were they looking for him? Eric wondered. He ran away from the screaming boys. He ducked under branches and found himself on a rocky ledge. Beneath him was a shimmering lagoon. He sat on the edge or the rock and looked down at the clear green-blue water. Without warning Eric felt something touch his shoulder!

"AHHHRRGGHHH!" Eric yelled as he toppled of the rock and began to fall towards the lagoon. He looked above him to see a butterfly flying near the ledge. A butterfly? He thought. My death will be caused by a butterfly? Dear god that's sad……curse all the butterflies. Before he knew it he hit the water and sunk. He tried swimming, but something was pulling him down. He looked, girls! No…..he looked closer…..mermaids! He struggled but was outnumbered. Soon he realized they weren't pulling him down anymore but up. Thank goodness, Eric thought I think my lungs are gonna explode! When he finally surfaced, Eric found himself in a cave. Mermaids surrounded him smiling and splashing. Eric tried to duck underwater and swim away but they grabbed him and put him on a rock in the cave, they were no longer smiling. The mermaids took him swimming away as rejection and with them being beautiful creatures and all, were not used to that. They pinned him down on the rock and one of the mermaids drew out a sharp shell. Eric glared at them, hiding his fear, as the mermaid brought the shell closer and closer to his neck. Suddenly from the opening of the cave came a great crow! Peter swooped in and stole the shell just as it pierced Eric's skin. The mermaids scattered at the sight of Peter since they knew they shouldn't have been doing what they had done. They greatly respected Peter and knew by the look on his face he wasn't happy. Eric slowly sat up on the rock. Peter dove down next to Eric and casually sat cross legged in the air.

"You okay?" Peter asked

"Yeah……thanks for…you know…saving me" Eric said.

"Oh, no problem I do it wall the time for the Lost Boys."

"Peter?"

"How'd you know my name?"

"I dunno…….it was like I always knew."

"Yeah……that's the way it was with Wendy." Peter got a far off look in his eye. They stayed silent for a moment.

"So, this is really Neverland?"

"Yeah,"

"Whoa…….this is unreal"

"It is real! I just told you that. Don't you listen?"

"Yeah, I guess I just forgot for the moment" Eric chuckled. And that's what he did, he forgot. The rest of the day he flew through Neverland with Peter, Tinkerbelle and the Lost Boys and never did he once think about life before this.

Ok. Whaddya think? Pretty please review!
