Perfect Sins

My name no longer means alone

Chapter 2      

                               

I looked at Thomas, watching every movement that I made. As if he were making sure its me.

"I'll show the boy around." I say turning my attention towards my father.

"Thomas." Thomas said chiming in.

"Fine," I say. Still looking at my father with a bit of anger, "The boy Thomas."

Thomas coughed and laughed a bit.

" Fine. Little stroll around town shouldn't hurt. " My father said nodding at me and then rolling his eyes as he walked into the other room.

I then turned my attention towards Thomas, crossing my arms.  

"Walk with me." I say gesturing out towards the door and he followed me out. We were then walking out on the side of the road inside of the white line.

"Why are you here?" I say still focusing my attention on the road.

"Pardon?" He says looking in the same direction I am.

"You had to come from somewhere."

"I did."

"Then why are you here?"

"To take you to a better place."

I then stopped and looked at him, "What?"

He then stopped and turned towards me, "I said I want to take you away from here, all of this shit of a world. Its bloody disgusting."

"How the hell do you even know   anything ab-"

"I know someone who wants me to save you and keep you safe."

"Do I know this person?"

"Of course not."

I then squinted at him and my eyebrows were filling with rage, "Then why the hell should I trust you or the person?"

Thomas laughed, "Love there's a lot of things you don't know. But I'll ask you one simple question."

I shrugged, "And that is?"

"Do you believe in magic?"

That. That question made me remember..everything. Exactly who I am. A Stiltskin. A beast. A..monster.

I then snapped back into reality, "..Yes."

"Then let me take you somewhere..if you believe."

"And that is?"

"Neverland."

"Neverland?," I questioned, "That place exists?"

"Yeah, I am a lost boy after all. I'm basically Pan's-"

"Pan's right hand."

"Um..yes how would you know that?"

"I - um," I smiled at the ground then back at him, "I've always been a fan of Peter Pan and Neverland. I just never knew they existed."

"There's also a girl. On the island."

I gave him a concerned look, "A girl?"

"Yeah, we call her Jane, short for Jaelyn."

I smiled at the thought of not being the only female on the island. I mean it would be fine but weird.

"I thought Neverland was just for Lost Boys."

"It was. Sometimes you just have to save the right people," Thomas laughed, "Now she won't be the only girl on the island."

"D-Do you think she'll like me?"

"I think ," Thomas smiled, "You two are closer then you think."

"Great! I get to have a friend that understands me!"

"I'm pretty sure she will."

"How can you be so sure?"           

"She has the same marks on her, on her arms and legs."

A suicidal girl.. Like me.. I think we'll be the best of friends. I don't have to be..alone anymore.

"I can't wait to meet her!" I say laughing.

I actually feel happiness. As if my name no longer means alone..anymore.

"You seem quite happy to have friends."

I smiled a little bit, "I guess its a feeling I'll have to get used to."

"Maybe." Thomas said looking towards the sky.

I then looked over at Thomas, "Thomas."

"Yeah."

"Take me away."                                 

Thomas smiled, "Gladly. Just tell me when and we'll go."

"Now." I stated firmly.

"N-Now?," Thomas stuttered, "You really want to get away don't you?"

"More than you know. They don't like me. I'm so al-." 

Before I finished, Thomas..hugged me tightly.  I never felt a hug this secure in my whole life. Not even in my mothers arms. Almost cozy. I hugged back, resting my head on his shoulder as I breathed in and out on his shoulder as I closed my eyes. Just letting me feel..accepted. I loved this feeling.

"You're not going to be alone anymore." Thomas said into my hair.

"Take me home.." I say.

"Close your eyes, love. I'm going to take you away."

I then closed my eyes and a moment after I opened my eyes and let go of Thomas' grip. Examining where I was. I was on a beach near a.. ocean. Its so open and is full of adventures. I then turned my attention back at Thomas who smiled at me, extending his arm out towards the woods behind him, "Welcome to Neverland, Violet."
