It felt as if the world was gone, darkness covered her and silence was her companion. Her body felt weak and too heavy to even consider moving one finger and the peace she had found in her dreams was just too tempting.

"Luna"

Something whispered from a far, a calling,warning. She stirred not wanting to hear it.

"Luna"

She knew that voice it was familiar in more ways than one, but still she refused to listen to it.

"Luni"

She opened her eyes more to the shock than her own will to wake up. Deep blue met a very much alike pair of eyes. For a moment she thought it might have been a dream or the forest playing tricks on her, it was when a hand touched her that she gave up and almost tackled the boy to the ground as she embraced him in a hug.

"Benedict!"– Luna yelled as she felt her tears go down her face. – "Benedict I can't believe it, are you alright? What happened? How did you get here?"– Her younger brother smiled at her panic and shock as he also embraced her in a hug.

"Slow down Luna you'll hurt yourself."

"Ben, I've been looking for you! You have no idea what I've been though and all you have to say is a funny remark!? – Luna snapped at him trying to calm down before she hit him out of annoyance.

"Yeah I heard you'd had an adventure," – he looked at her with sadness in his blue eyes. – "I really missed you, Luna."

"Who told you about my adventure?" – Luna had taken in her brother and really gave him a look. He didn't look one bit unstable, hurt nor had any sign of any struggle, even his clothes were new. Luna had gotten the idea something seemed wrong, she looked worse than him and she had not been with the enemy. Ben was just as smart as she was and had gotten the meaning of the question.

"Alexis told me what happened over at mermaid lagoon," – he got up helping his sister as well.

"Oh did he now? Did he mention all of this is his fault?"

"It's not Alexis's fault," – Ben said with a hard tone in his voice. – "He was trying to help you Luna."

"Give me a break! Did that ingrate told you he kissed me in the forest back home or how he almost had me killed trying to get to Nick and Peter?" – Luna's voice took a higher tone as her anger flared.

"He did what?!" –Ben looked at her in disbelieve and confusion.

"Oh now you remember to act like an over protecting older brother. What the hell happened to you that you were taken by that ass?" – Luna then recalled something as she looked around her, realizing her mistake.

"What's wrong?"

"Where's Nick?" – Luna asked trying not to sound worried.

"Who?" – Ben didn't seemed to care nor know who she referred to, it then occurred to Luna the Lost Boys never gave their name unless told by Peter to do so, they didn't even let their faces shown out of their ridiculous animal ear hoodies.

"I was here with someone, haven't you seen anyone around?"

"No one I care about besides you."

"Ben, he would be hard to miss trust me."

"I told you I haven't seen anyone else but you in this forsaken, cold forest."

"What's with you?" – Luna asked as she could tell Ben was angry about something.

"Didn't you say you have been looking for me all this time?"

"Of course I have. What, you don't believe me?"

"That's not it. You just look distracted and worried about something else. I'm here aren't I?"

"What's your point Ben?"

"Let's go home Luna," – he took her hand, all anger gone from his eyes. – "We're together again, we can go home now."

Luna's heart fluttered with the understanding of Ben's words. She was happy. She was finally hearing the words she most wanted to hear when she had arrived in Neverland. She had her brother right in front of her safe and sound, there was nothing to stop her and yet something in the back of her head screamed at her. Something was stopping her from jumping up and down.

"How are we getting back home?"

"I found a way, it's near here. We can get there fast if we go now," – he pulled her to him. - "Let's go, we have to go now or it will close."

"Close?"

"There's a connection to our home in the forest, but it only opens sometimes and with specific timing," – he started to walk urging her but Luna, who would run at the opportunity, just wasn't content.

"Ben, how did you escaped from Alexis?"

"I didn't, he just let me go to you. We were worried about you."

"We?"

"What does it matter anyways Luna? We can go home, aren't you happy? What's wrong with you?"

Luna was starting to ask the same thing herself, why she was hesitating in a moment like this she had no answer to. She closed her eyes and looked down, opening them to see smashed berries at her feet.

"Ben, did you bring these berries?" – She said as he looked down.

"No. Why?"

"Are you hungry?"

"Nick…" –she whispered to herself realizing he had brought them for her yet he was not here. Her confusion snapped at what her heart was trying to tell her. Nick was not here with her, he was nowhere around."I trust Dominick" Peter had left him to look after her, she knew Nick would never leave her side unless it was something important. "I'll pick you up here and show you around Neverland when I return" Peter's voice echoed making her realize why she was hesitating from going home with Benedict. "Stay here with me" Luna looked at Ben who was upset at her, she couldn't leave, at least not like this, she could never do that to them. They had saved her more than once. They had made her part of their group, of their family no questions ask.

Here in front of her she had her wish granted, the one thing she wanted the most, her brother and a way home and she was hesitating because this was not the right way. Her heart was warning her, her mind was reminding her and her body would not move. A gun went off near them, the sound echoing in the white forest.

"Luna!"– Ben yelled as she sprinted to the forest her heart racing as she hoped it was nothing she would regret. She stopped at the sight of a red hoodie running past her.

"Nick!"

"Luna! Run! Get out of here now!" – He yelled at her in panic realizing what will happen.

"Nick what's going on?"– Nick's eyes went wide as a shadow appeared behind Luna, worry gripping at his heart.

"NO!"

"NICK!"

A gunshot rustled the forest and then silence once again.
