Chapter 4: Where am I?
A/N: Hey! Sorry for not uploading for the past 2 weeks. I just have been really busy on Friday, although I thought Fridays were going to be my free day. I have just been preparing to go back to school and it's been kind of hectic with my schedule. So instead of Fridays I think I'm going to change my uploading days to Saturday, because that is my new free day for the school year. So have any of you been watching Doctor Who? What did you think of the season premiere? Do you like Peter Capaldi or hate him? I personally have mixed feelings. I think he's a great actor and he is a great Doctor, but I don't like how River Song might not be in season 8 at all. Moffat said he ran out of ideas for her, and Matt Smith begged Moffat not to write River for Capaldi because he felt like River was just an 11thDoctor thing :/. So I personally don't really have a reason to not like him, I just really want River in season 8; because she's my favorite character in Doctor Who. I'm going to change the subject to Once Upon A Time here because I feel like this show needs love too. Who's excited for the premiere on September 28th? Do you guys like the idea of Frozen coming? I love it! Okay sorry for all the rambling. You can PM the answers to these questions I asked or just comment them in the review section. Also, give me new ideas in the review section for what you'd like to see happen next. Don't forget to write your opinion on this chapter! So my idea for this chapter was suggested in the review section. I also was thinking about doing this even before someone suggested it, but I still decided to write it! The new chapter starts in 3…2…1…
I blinked for about a millisecond. Who knew that would be the biggest mistake I ever did. One minute I was listening to River and Amy chat inside of the TARDIS. I opened my eyes and jumped. I was now inside of a dark and eerie forest with the TARDIS nowhere to be seen.
"AMY? RIVER? DOCTOR?" I called out, but the only response I got was the rustle of the trees in the wind.
I began to realize that I was stuck here. Amy, River, and The Doctor weren't here. I knew they would eventually find me, but I couldn't just sit there and wait to be saved like a helpless princess. So I began to walk aimlessly. Mostly because I was curious as to where I was, partially because I didn't know what to do with myself. I've never been this remotely alone before. The more I walked deeper into this forest, the darker it got. I looked down at my feet. There was just clouds of black smoke flowing through the bottom of the forest floor. I began to feel a mist of harsh winds hitting my back: which made the hair on my body stick straight up. I felt like the wind was whispering my name.
"Roryyyy…" it called, "Roryyyy."
I turned around to see nothing, but the black mists of the forest rising higher and higher. I turned back to what I thought was the front, and continued walking. While I was walking, I felt a large bump beneath my shoe. I looked down to see what it was. But yet again, I couldn't see it because of the darkness. I decided to put all my weight on it to see if this would help me depict what it was. The strange bump snapped in half due to the pressure and made a loud noise. I soon figured out that it was just a branch. I was about to continue walking on, when I decided to look up. That was when I decided I made a bigger mistake in breaking the branch.
There were what looked like teenage boys in front of me. They were all dirty and raggedy looking. I started to turn around when I noticed they were closing in on me. I noticed by the look on their faces that they weren't going to be welcoming.
"H…Hello there," I mustered out as I waved my hand by my torso timidly, "I'm Rory and you boys are?"
"We're not here to talk. We know who you are," said one of the boys. He was obviously the oldest of the boys. He was tall and covered in a black cloak with a hood covering his face. There were little blonde hairs sticking out by the top of the hood.
"Well if you know me, then how do I not know you?"
"He summoned you," was all the eldest boy had to say.
"And 'He' is…?" I said curiously.
"Come on boys," the elder boy said as he motioned to the boys. Two of the boys emerged from the darkness and grabbed ahold of my arms. I bent my arms and elbowed both of the boys in the chest. I found an opening in the circle. The opening was from the boys who grabbed me. Since they stepped up to grab me, I was able to get out by running through the spots the originally stood at.
I ran faster than I have ever ran before. The more I ran south, the lighter it got. I ran towards the light. The only downside to running away from these boys was my age. They were younger than me, therefore they had more stamina than me. I could feel their breath on my neck as I was running. This sent chills that ran down my spine. I decided to think on my feet, no pun intended. I saw a path coming up on my left. I decided to run faster. I passed up the path. I decided I was going to keep running until I lost them. I could feel my knees giving out beneath me. I couldn't let them give out though. I needed to escape these boys, for I could tell they were up to no good. This made me wonder where these kids' parents were. Why would they let their children out in this dark forest alone wearing dirty and damaged clothes?
As I ran, I felt them getting further and further away. I decided to run around when I thought it was safe. I looked behind me and realized they were nowhere in sight. I decided to enter the trees and shrubbery that were on my left. I thought that if I were to continue to go left that I would at some point come across the path. As I turned left, I bumped into something. It felt like a huge log. I flew over it and completely face planted into the ground. I began to freak out because the last time I bumped into something, those psychotic boys had found me.
"Shit. Shit. Shit." I began to mumble under my breath. I started to pat myself off when I noticed the log I tripped over. It wasn't a log. It was a boy. He was tiny and had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. He looked vulnerable. I could tell just by looking at him that he wasn't a part of those gang of no good boys.
"Oh I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" I said trying to help him up and pull him to his feet.
"No don't touch me!" He said as he began to fight me off. He rolled back into a ball hiding behind the bush.
"Hey hey hey! I'm just trying to help. Are you hiding from those lunatic boys too? A gang of teenage boys started chasing me and I just lost them."
"They are after you too?"
"Yeah, who are they?"
"They are the Lost Boys. They are Peter Pan's minions."
"Peter Pan? Is this some type of joke?"
"No. This is serious," the boy began to explain, "I got kidnapped from my family and was brought here."
"So are you saying that this forest we are in right now is Neverland?"
"Yes. We are in Neverland. Trust me this is a place you don't want to be. Pan is real. It may seem from the fairytales that he is a good guy, but he is evil."
"But why does he want you? And why does he want me? Those Lost Boys said that he summoned me, but I don't know him. I didn't even know that he existed until now."
"I don't know why he wants you. I don't even know why he wants me. All I know is that he doesn't want us for something good. I think he wants me to join his bandit of orphan minions. He kidnapped me from my family. But knowing them they will find me. Our family always finds each other."
"Yeah my family does too," Rory said reminiscing about Amy, River, and The Doctor. I never really considered The Doctor part of his family, but he has always been there for my family and me, "so what's your name?"
"Henry Mills," The boy said coming out of the bush. The light shined upon his face so I could see his whole face, "what's yours?"
"Rory Williams," I said shaking holding a hand out for Henry to shake. The boy gladly took it and shook it, "nice to meet you, Henry."
"Nice to meet you too, Rory."
"So how long have you been hiding here, Henry?"
"For about 20 minutes."
"Do you have a plan on how to escape the Lost Boys?"
"Just hide here, I guess."
"Well that sounds..." I said as Henry interrupted me.
"Shhhh," Henry said, "listen." There was a rustle in the trees and a twig snapped.
"Hello?" said a teenage boy who tapped me on the shoulder.
"Who are you!?" I said suspiciously. He looked like he could be one of the Lost Boys.
"My name is John. The Lost Boys were just chasing after me." John said heaving.
"Pan's after you too? It sounds like Pan is expanding his army." Henry said.
"Yeah, he kidnapped me from my family and brought me here. I've been on the run for a couple of years now. I just have been praying every day that my family would come and save me, but every day I lose hope just a little bit more."
"A year?" I said skeptically. I began to feel as though The Doctor would never be able to find me based on what John just said.
"Yeah, it's been tough. I'm surprised Pan hasn't caught me yet." He said, "I've been staying at my own secret camp. Pan hasn't been able to find me there yet. Do you guys want to come back with me? There is enough room for three people."
"Sure why not?" shrugged Henry. I felt something wrong with this situation. But I decided to go because I wanted to look out for Henry.
"That sounds good to me." I said.
"Alright follow me." John said as he turned around. Instead of taking the path I saw on the left, we just began to weave through trees and bushes. We walked for about 20 minutes. John was reminiscing about his home life before he was kidnapped. He said he got in a heated argument with his parents just three hours before he got kidnapped. He also said that was the last time he had ever spoken to him. John said there is a pattern with Pan's kidnappings. Most people get kidnapped right after having an argument with a loved one. I began to think of my argument with Amy just literally seconds before I was kidnapped. I didn't think it was that bad of an argument, but it was still an argument. Maybe that was all Pan needed to kidnap me.
As we finally got to the base, John said, "Welcome to the base!" It looked as though twenty people lived here.
"Why is it huge?" Henry asked.
"I don't know I just like room. Some of my friends live here as well."
"Friends? I thought it would be just the three of us?" Henry asked.
"Well I have some other friends that use this base."
"Who are they?" I asked feeling like this was sketchy.
"The Lost Boys."
"What?! I thought you were running from them?"
"Why would I run from my own friends, Henry?" said John as the Lost Boys started coming out from the trees.
"Henry, his name isn't John," I began to explain,"his name is Peter Pan."
A/N: So what do you think? How do you like Henry and Rory together? Any new ideas for what you want to happen next? Review please! Thank you!
