Trapped in Neverland

14

~ Tinkerbell's POV ~

It takes us about half a week to reach a safe place, far from Pan and Zaine. Far from the worries of the world. Except for the fact that we have now entered the Faerie capitol of Neverland, a place called Winter Bay.

Hook wishes us good luck, and he and his crew leave me, Felix, Peri, Amora, and Wendy to ourselves.

It is then that I feel an unknown feeling, gnawing at my heart, and then I hear something  — I can hear someone screaming. I start to run, but I'm on a beach, and the sand makes it damn near impossible to move.

I flare my wings, and take to the sky, but then there is a bright flash of blue-green light, that throws me back several feet, and I fall into the sand again, and Peri runs over to me.

"Tink! Are you okay?" she asks.

"I ..."

The feeling fades. I look all around,but now, it feels like there is something missing in the world. Something I cannot go without. Tears spring in my eyes, and I bury my head in my hands. Peri walks over to me, her blue eyes wide.

"Are you okay, Tinkerbell?"

I nod. "The feeling's gone."

"What feeling?"

"You felt it too?" Felix asks.

"A weird pulling sensation," I say.

He nods. "Yeah, that's exactly what I felt."

Wendy and Amora both look at us, with worried looks on their faces. And then there's the sound of footsteps walking through the high dunes of sand that make it hard for us to see the house that is sitting on the beach here.

A girl approaches us. She has long, blue hair. Bright blue eyes, brown skin, and a nervous look on her face.

"Luna?" Wendy says, walking over to her.

Luna, the girl, walks over to us. She looks at me, and her eyes widen ever so slightly, and I stand up again and look at her, dusting myself off.

"Hi, Wendy," she says.

Wendy smiles at her. "I'm sorry it's been so long since I saw you."

Luna then gestures for us to follow her. We do, and when we reach her destroyed house, the windows shattered, the door in pieces on the floor, but it is the floor of the house that catches my attention.

It is shredded, like something massive crawled out of the ground and then went back in after a while, but I can't tell what exactly happened or why.

I walk over to the center of the floor, and look down at the misshapen earth. I feel like there is something there, something buried deep down, but I can't figure out what it is.

"Are you okay?" Peri asks, and looks at me worried.

"I'm just ... I don't know ... I feel something calling to me."

She tilts her head. "What do you mean by that?"

"I'm not sure," I admit. "I'm just trying to figure out what is going on down there."

"Down there? In the earth?"

I nod. "I know it does not make sense."

She hugs me. "Don't worry, we'll figure it out. For now, just try to be okay for a while. Okay?"

I nod again. "Okay."
