LAST TIME...
"You know where to take him", Pan said to the lost boys.
A couple of lost boys grabbed me by the arms and Pan picked Morgan off the ground cause every other lost boy was too afraid to go near her.
"No, Henry, Morgan!", I shouted.
"Oh, don't worry, it won't be for very long", Pan responded.
"I'm alive!".
"Just until I reset the board, see the game is about to change".
"I will come for you guys, I promise!", I shouted, referring to Henry and Morgan.
Pan disappeared into the Neverwoods, with Morgan, and Felix was close behind him, carrying Henry. I was dragged away in the other direction, but I kept struggling, trying to break free.
Chapter 21- Asking Questions
Morgan's POV
I woke up with a start, trying to recall what had previously happened to me. From waking up to the sight of two complete strangers to knocking six lost boys unconscious to my confrontation with Pan, I remembered it all. I even remembered one of the guys who tried to save me, despite the fact that I don't actually remember what he looked like or what Pan had said his name was, call out for me and Henry. That really confused me, I get someone trying to save Henry, I mean he has a family that loves him, but I don't, I'm just an orphan who found her way to Neverland. But then why was this guy trying to rescue me when I've never seen this guy in my life, yet somehow I feel like I know him.
I sat up and saw Pan looking at me with an evil smirk on his face, like he was up to something, not that I'm surprised, Pan's ALWAYS up to something, it's just a matter of time before I find out. Glancing over to my right, I saw Henry sitting next to me, by the look on his face I could tell that he had also recently woken up.
"What happened?", Henry asked Pan.
"You two fell asleep", Pan answered.
That was such a bullshit lie, I mean for someone who is immortal; he should really be a better liar. Then again, I am able to tell whenever someone is lying to me so no matter how good of a liar he actually is, I am able to see right through his lies.
"We did?", Henry replied, believing Pan's lame excuse for a lie.
"Oh don't worry, it was just a cat nap. The night's still young", Pan responded.
"Wait, I remember something, my dad, when I was asleep I could've sword I heard him calling for me".
"Really?".
"It must've been a dream".
"You know I had a weird dream too, it was where a psycho maniac kidnapped me and brought me to Neverland against my will, but when I woke up, I realized it wasn't a dream", I said, in hope of getting on Pan's nerves.
It worked; Pan shot me a dirty look before turning back to Henry.
"How can you be sure?".
"Because, my dad's dead".
"I'm sorry Henry, it makes sense for us to dream about the things we've lost and the things we hope for, like your father being alive and your mother coming to find you, but eventually you'll find new things to dream about. When you do, they'll start to come true".
"How do you know?".
"Because that's what I did, and now you two are here. Neverland used to be a place where new dreams were born, Morgan, Henry, you two can bring that magic back, and we can be your family".
I just eyed Pan, trying to decide whether I wanted to insult him or just stay quiet. However, Pan seemed to make up my mind for me when he stood up.
Pan offered me his hand, I took it hesitantly. I never know what's going through his head, so it's best to always keep my guard up. As Pan helped me to my feet, Henry got himself off the ground.
"I'd like to play a song, a song for our guests of honor, Morgan and Henry", Pan announced to the dancing lost boys.
Oh, shit, what did I manage to get myself into? Last time the pipes affected me, I totally blacked out and couldn't remember anything, but even worse, I had been under Pan's control.
Pan began to play his pan pipes.
I heard the sweet melody they made, urging me to dance with the other lost boys. But I couldn't, if I gave in that would mean Pan controlled me, and I was NOT going to let that happen, he may be able to control the lost boys, but he was not going to be able to control me. But still, part of me wanted to join in on the "celebration" while another part of me was telling me not to. The music began to sway me, trying to make up my mind for me, but I reminded myself I would stay strong, that I wouldn't let Pan win. I closed my eyes and clenched my fists tightly, thinking about who I am, not an orphan, but a survivor, I'm the kind of person who doesn't give up without a fight and this, despite the whole magic thing, isn't any different. I opened my eyes and realized I could no longer hear the music, I smiled victoriously. Pan would have to try a lot harder than an enchanted pipe if he is going to even have a chance at winning.
I looked around the camp for Henry to see if the pipe had affected him. My smile vanished when I saw Henry dancing around like a fool, along with the other boys.
I quickly glanced at Pan, then back at Henry. Pan's eyes said it all, Henry was exactly where Pan wanted him, under his control and easy to manipulate like the rest of his mindless army of lost boys.
Pan looked at me, noticing for the first time that his enchanted pipes hadn't been able to affect me, like they had to Henry.
"You don't want to dance with the others?", Pan stated, more than asked.
"Not interested in looking like a moron, like the rest of you", I replied.
"But you ARE one of us".
"Why, because no one cares about me like everyone else on this damn island? Don't you get it Pan, I'm my own person, I DON'T listen to your orders like everyone else on Neverland. I'm different; nothing that you can say will make me change the way I think about you or this fucking island you call home".
"Oh but you are. You came to Neverland to get away from your past. You wanted to have a sense of belonging, where you actually fit in for once. As much as you deny it, you really do LOVE Neverland and you truthfully don't want to leave Neverland. You're more of a Lost Girl than you think".
"Stop putting words in my mouth! I'm NO Lost Girl! I stopped being one the moment you betrayed me".
"That's where you're wrong, you don't just decide to stop being a lost one, it's a part of you, you will ALWAYS be a lost girl, there's no running away from it. You are what you are, my little lost girl".
"I belong to nobody, and I'm sure as hell am not lost, I know exactly who I am".
"Do you, do you really? Who are your parents? Do you even know anything about them?".
"So what, I don't know a single thing about my birth parents. Why does that matter? I've been surviving without them for sixteen years, for all I care, they can be dead".
"That's a lie, and we both know it. You want to find out who your birth parents are and why they gave you up. You know nothing about yourself, who you really are, where you're really from. You can't know who you are until you find out where your family is from".
"What do YOU know about family? Or about me? You don't know me".
"Neither do you".
"Sometimes not knowing is for the best".
"You're just saying that because it makes you feel whole, but you're not". You'll never truly find yourself until you find your birth parents. But let's face it, even if you do find them, you won't find yourself, all you'll be thinking about is why they let you have such a hellish life. You haven't forgiven them, that's why you fit perfectly with the lost boys".
I wanted to argue, but it was true. I wanted to know why they had just given me up when I was a baby. I had to suffer for so long because they didn't give a damn about me, but why? I just wanted to find them, but not to reunite or talk to them; I wanted to yell at them for all the pain and suffering they caused me.
"You know I'm right", Pan finally said after a long, awkward silence.
"Fine, it's true, but what does that prove? You were right about ONE thing, I wouldn't exactly say you know me", I replied angrily.
"Why do you have to be so irritating?!".
"Why do YOU have to be so fucking annoying!?".
"Maybe a song will help you clear your mind".
Before I could object, Pan quickly pulled out his pan pipes and began to play.
This time was different however. I could still hear the sweet melody the pipes made, but I couldn't resist them. I didn't know anything about who I really was, I felt more lost than ever. I began to sway to sound of the music and was shortly joining the other lost boys, and Henry.
Peter Pan's POV
Finally, she was a tricky one to get under the pipe's influence. Yes neither Henry nor Morgan had both at one point hadn't been able to hear the music, but what really baffled me was that Morgan was able to resist even when she had been able to hear it. Morgan sure was a hell of a challenge, much like her father, but I wouldn't let this stop me. I would find a way to get Morgan exactly where I want her, no matter what the path is to do so.
Felix walked over to me.
"Pan, what are you going to do about the girl? We should move her, in all my days on Neverland, there's never been someone who can hear the pipe's music and be able to resist it".
"Where's your sense of adventure Felix? Besides, if we move her, both of them will ask questions. We've come way too far to throw all of that away. We just need a plan; a plan to make her feel like she belongs here and that she is indeed a lost girl".
"It won't be easy, but I have faith in you, cause Peter Pan never fails".
