And no one wants me
I have no one
And no one has me
I have no one
And no one has me

"Bang On"
The Breeders
Neverland
"That's me, don't wear it out" the boy said proudly. He was the epitome of immortality; face still round with childish delight and skin still sun kissed. Then again, this was Neverland and nothing was ever quite what it seemed. Somehow, she wasn't as surprised this time around.
"Will you be our mother?" The question was so innocent and it held an emotion she couldn't detect. Maybe it was loneliness. It had also been brought to her attention that Peter hadn't recognized her. The moment she saw him she had the strongest desire to hug him to her and tell him who she was. That all changed when she realized he didn't remember. The sudden urge to run came over her, but she firmly took a hold of it and pushed it aside.
It might be better this way, she told herself. If anything, for him. He seemed happy, surrounded by all his companions. Just imagining the look on his face when he found out she had grown up was incomprehensible. She firmly shut the lid on her emotions.
"I would love to."
That seemed to be the correct answer. Everyone had started cheering loudly, happy to let someone else care for them, if only for a little while. What they didn't know wouldn't hurt them at this point. A small hand encircled her wrist as she snapped out of her woolgathering thoughts. The hand led to an arm and the arm led to Peter. It seemed he wanted her to follow him. She would comply, for now.
Underground
"That's right precious. Dream of me." The Goblin King was currently lounged on his throne watching Sarah through a crystal ball. Waiting. Only time would tell and he had plenty of that to spare. His sensitive hearing made him aware of an approaching pair of footsteps followed by the creak of a large door. He practically knew what was going to be said.
"Majesty, they just arrived." A little goblin of no more than 2 feet replied. Badger was his name. Or maybe it was Budger. Bugger? It was of no matter. Everything was coming together as planned.
"Excellent."
In less than a second the scenery shifted around him and melted away, becoming a much darker ensconced area. A circular table was in front of him. He sighed (dramatically to some) and calmly took a spot on the right side.
"You're late." A voice hissed accusingly. His eyes narrowed. As if she had any right to tell him HE was late. Before he knew it, he was opening his mouth to retort hotly back, "I've heard your…lover has finally decided to wake up. After all these years, how it must feel to have him back." The look on her face was priceless, although he would have to watch his back more carefully now.
"How dare you!" the words were whispered dangerously. He just smirked knowingly. His eyes roamed the faces at the table until they locked onto a mottled grey pair. Quirking an eyebrow, the man (if you could even call him that) opened his mouth to reply, "Don't mind me, 'm just enjoyin' the entertainment." The Goblin King's smirk reappeared at that. Sure, he might not be the exact role, but he played his part carefully, seemingly enjoying to cause the mischief he did.
"Indeed." The meeting had finally started as the final guests arrived. He couldn't wait for everything to play out. Only then would Sarah be his and his alone.
Sooooo...I have to apologize to all you reviewers for the long wait. A lot had been happening for me the past year including a new job. To say they've been overworking me is an understatement. Anyways, it took me a little bit to pick up where I left off. I figured all you could use a new chapter. This was probably the hardest chapter for me to write. I wasn't quite sure how I wanted Peter and Wendy's role to play out. In most stories I've read, Peter either always remembers her or she tells him about herself. I figured a change was in order.
More chapters will be coming up, I just need these villains to work with me. Apparently they've been fighting with each-other a lot lately. I've added a few new villains to the story (as of now they are still unknown) and will introduce them properly when the time comes. I hope you are all happy when you learn the names. This story was fairly small when I started out, but I realized that in order for it to work out it has to expand. Hopefully, it will be a long story with many chapters. Yes, most are very small, but there are so many characters that I feel the need to squeeze at least two in a chapter. In the future, longer chapters will be added.
On a side note, is there any villains/fairy tale characters you would like to see in this story? I'm hiring new characters, fairy tale and villain alike. Hook tried to threaten me at first, but he finally started getting along with Captain Sparrow. Something about the rum? Anyways, this is NOT just a fairy tale story. I'm going to be adding other characters/villains as well. So on that note, I'm off to yell at Jareth about stalking Sarah. I mean, there IS a difference between watching and being a perv. Ugh, why did I start this again?
