The Lost Love

10 The Only Healer

The dream was vanishing little by little, doors and windows disappeared, and furniture vanished in front of them. The roof was no longer there, it collapsed on them, trapping them inside the corridor. Just what Juliette need, to die again in a dream. Pain is in the mind, so dying would hurt too, just like being shot. And here comes the worse part, the part that Juliette need to perfection, waking up without feeling a thing.

Juliette opened her eyes and breathed hard, almost chocking with the suffocating air. She felt no pain this time, which was a reliving thing, all her old wounds gone, but she didn't know how.

Pan was still lying on the bed sleeping, still trapped in whatever was left of the dream, or in limbo perhaps. Right now, she didn't care, she was shocked and scared. Kissing Peter Pan? The Peter Pan? Insane. Why on earth did Juliette kiss him? Impulse, desire, madness, and everything that made a girl want a boy.

She looked at her hands and legs which were dirty, she wasn't take a bath in two years. In the tent there was a bed, chairs, a small nightstand, and what it looks like another tent connected to this tent. Where is the bathroom supposed to be? Juliette wondered.

"So there is no bathroom?" she whispered to herself.

There was no sign of consciousness in Pan, he was sleeping like the angel he will never be. How was it possible to turn this evil?

"Juliette?" Peter mumbled in his sleep. And she turned to him, just to find him wide awake, trying to stand properly.

"Why did you it?" she asked. In response, Pan smiled weakly.

"Because you are worth it. The pain I felt when I woke up... Was nothing." He said.

Juliette just stared at him, without blinking or moving. She wondered why he cared so much, he just needed a mother for Collin and a Lost Girl, not a relationship or anything. She was still angry, furious actually, Pan has destroy the last place that felt like home to her, and the place was not even real.

"Where is the bathroom?" she asked. And Pan blinked in surprise, clearly he expected more from her, not a short question like that.

The water of the small lagoon was cold, but was one of the things Juliette missed. Her worries washed away with she soup and shampoo that Pan gave her. Who would think that Peter Pan knew what shampoo she used? The lagoon was far enough for the boys to accidentally catching her naked, and Pan made sure of that. Not only spells, he had actually built a wall surrounding the lagoon.

Without noticing at the beginning, she started singing.

"I'll use you as a warning sign

That if you talk enough sense then you'll your mind

I'll use you as a focal point

So I don't lose sight of what I want

I've moved further than I thought I could

But I missed you more than I thought I would

I'll use you as a warning sign

That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind"

Juliette was wondering about her purpose here, in Neverland. Pan said that he needed her to be the Lost Girl of Neverland and the mother of Collin. There has to be something else, something important that Pan was not telling her.

Pan was dying, dying to know what happened to Juliette in that forest. What made her so cold, what made her humanity and faith vanish?

"Are you okay Pan?" Felix asked.
