Next thing I knew I was hurled into the air and dropped onto the ground hard. I Landed on all fours causing me to face the dirt with a loud "oof". I kept my eyes shut, like a kid would when they were told to close their eyes and wait for their surprise, and boy I couldn't wait for mine. When I couldn't wait any longer a slowly opened one eye first and then the other and then slowly put my hood down to find what I was hoping for. And did something I haven't done in a very long time. I made the most biggest, the most genuine smile. I was afraid my face would get stuck like this.
I stood up and wiped the dirt from my pants. I was surrounded by a bunch of trees and rocks. And the sky was so blue, it was as if someone had painted it with the brightest color they could get and make sure they didn't miss one spot. And the sun was radiating on my bare skin. I would have thought I was still in the enchanted forest if it weren't for the lovely and beautiful green mountains, that stood out more than a peasant at a royal ball. I giggled a little bit. Overwhelmed by all the options I had to choose from. Not knowing what to do first. And they it came to me. "There's only one way to be 100 percent sure if I'm really am in Neverland!" I said to myself. I squealed in excitement, Pixie dust!
I walked around the forest for only a good five minutes trying to find the trees that grew them. Even though I haven't been here for a long while nothing has really changed, maybe a few new trees grew here and there, but, other than that, it was still the same old Neverland I left all those years ago. So it wasn't all that hard to navigate my way around.
I stood there looking up at the tall tree. Not wanting to wait any longer, I took a deep breathe and started to climbed up. Sure, I could just poof myself up there but...where's the fun in that? Before I knew it I was 25 feet in the air and nearly inches away from the branch that held the plants that was my key to flying. All I needed was to step on one more branch-. But my thought were interrupted by a noise from behind me. I turned my head around, an eyebrow raised. I opened my mouth to say something when I was pushed off the tree by an unknown force and went falling towards the ground.
Without second thought I stopped myself in mid-air when my face was only about five inches away from the ground and held myself there for a moment and then allowed myself to continue falling on the ground again. I landed on my stomach with a loud "OOF!". All those happy thought that once lived in my mind were now gone and replaced with anger and rage.
Show yourself you coward!/strong" I cried out loud as I stood up, not bothering to wipe the dirt off my pants this time.
"Who are you?" I added with anger in my tone. Then, out of nowhere, a black figure, kind of like a shadow, with big white glowing eyes came face to face to me. "The more important question is, who are you? it said.
You see, most people would be scared by the sight of this, black shadow thing. But not me. I've lived long enough that I have seen way worse than this joke.
"I asked first" I grunted through my teeth. He floated around me, observing me, like I was a new animal he had never seen before. "I' He began "Am shadow". I squinted my eyes and shook my head in disbelief " Yeah, I can see that, wise one. What I really want to know is why you pushed me off the tree!" He didn't really have anything but eyes. But I swore, if he had a mouth he would have smirked at me right then and there. If only I could punch him. But I knew my hand would probably just go right through him. "I was sent to see if anyone had come onto the island, a friend of mine told me he sensed someone come...and I guess he was right." My eyebrows furrowed together. "Who sent you? Are you meaning to tell me there are others on this island?". He chuckled "You have no idea" he began "You didn't really think you had this island all for yourself, did you?".
I did actually. But I wasn't going to admit that to him. So I kept quite with a scowl on my face. " You are in for a-" but he stopped right there. And turned his head around. As if someone had called him and he was trying to find where that person was calling from. But I didn't hear anything. And without second thought he started to fly away from me and toward the mountains.
"Hey!" I shouted after him "I'm not done with you" he turned his head around and glared at me with his big white eyes "I have a feeling we'll see each other again" he stated and then turned around continued on his way. Leaving me angry and confused.
