Hi people. I finally updated! Yay! I need nine comments to update again.
Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Mia
"LAND HO!"
My father's yell made me jump.
I groaned. I was tired. I was cold. I was hungry. I almost wished I was at the castle.
I got dressed. Since I was exploring an Island today, I wore boots, pants, and a shirt. The only jewel I wore was the diamond ring.
I ate a hurried breakfast. By the time I finished, we landed in the water.
I ran up to the deck and to my father.
"Father, what is that island?" I asked, pointing at the island in the distance.
"That, darling, is Neverland. That is where we will find what the King wants."
"What does the King want?" My uncle butted in.
My father opened the envelope. He pulled out a piece of parchment with a plant on it.
"This plant, dreamshade. It can cure anything."
We docked on Neverland.
My uncle and brother started to get off. I followed them.
"Mia, no. You are not coming."
"You can't stop me." I kept walking. My uncle rolled his eyes.
We started looking for the plant.
"This is hopeless," I wined. "We are never going to find it."
"Are you three lost? You look lost to me."
We whipped around. My uncle and brother drew their swords. I, having no weapon, picked up a rock.
A young boy was standing there. He had dark brown hair and green eyes. He wore a brown/green get up, and some dirty brown shoes.
He was quite cute. Or at least, cuter than the prince.
"Hello boy," My father said, putting his sword away. "We are here on a mission from the King."
"There are no kings in Neverland. Just me."
"Just you?" I questioned. "Doesn't it get lonely?"
"Very." He said. "But I am free of everything, so it isn't that bad."
"Free?" That did it. He caught my attention.
"Maybe you can help us," My father said before I could say anything else. "We are looking for something on this island."
"Let me see." My father handed him the paper.
"Dreamshade? That is the deadliest plant on the island. Your king must be pretty ruthless." He smirked.
"It is medicine."
"It is doom. Why start a war when you can kill an entire army with the sap of one plant."
"Maybe we should trust him," I suggested. "After all, he has been on the island longer than us."
The boy smirked (god damn that stupid/cute smirk), then disappeared.
"Whatever. We are going to keep looking for this plant." My father started walking.
We climbed a cliff. Sure enough, the plant was there.
"Maybe we shouldn't take any. Maybe it is a poison." My uncle said cautiously.
"Nonsense." My father cut off a branch from the plant. He cut his skin with a thorn.
After a few seconds, he fell to the ground, shaking.
"Liam!" My uncle knelt beside him.
"You should've listened."
The boy was here.
"Just because I want you off my island, I will help you. The water in that cave is a cure for the poison. However, there will be a price."
He pointed at a cave. My uncle ran in to it.
"Father," I knelt beside him. "I love you. But, I want to be free. That is something you can't give me. "
I ran away from the area, climbed down the cliff, and ran into the forest.
