Trapped. PP |OUAT|

Ever Lasting Love.

|Ever|

"Ever, where have you been? I whistled for you, when I whistle. You run to me. Do you not remember what happened when you didn't listen?" I look down at my dirty hands, the burns still visible. Flashing images flicker in my brain, the pain is indescribable, it is inhumane. But then again, he is Peter Pan. He isn't the boy I fell in love with all those years ago. Now, he is a monster, and I'm trapped, not being able to escape.

"Do you want that to happen again? What about this time, on that pretty little face of yours?" I stutter and I open my mouth when he raises his left hand and I'm blasted to the tree behind me.

"Well?!" I choke, my breath leaving my body.

"P-Pan. Hook! Hook!" He tilts his head, he drops his hand looking at me intently.

"What about that vile man?" I gasp holding my throat. He crouches next to me and strokes my face, he can be loving sometimes, only when he wants something of course.

"That's- He is the reason I was late-"

"What did he do to you?! I'll kill him! Felix!" He jumps to conclusions extremely fast.

"No!No! I, I hardly spoke to him. He called me a Lost Girl so I threatened to slice his throat. I told him- I told him you were waiting for him, that this is the end..." Pan smiles at me and for a second I see the boy I used to and still sometimes love.

"Well, if you see Hook when you're on a walk again, tell him. Pan said 'Game On'."

I wake up at dawn to Pan's voice. I frown, someone is holding my hand. I stay still- pretending I'm still asleep.

"Hook will not touch you. I promise my Ever Lasting Love." I like that name... I just wish he wasn't like this. The Lost Boy's don't like speaking to me in case I say what they say to Pan...

"You're awake." Pan says his voice changed, he went from loving to devil in .02 seconds. I nod slowly, I look around and the Lost Boy's are still asleep, I sleep on the biggest bed of them all with Peter, that's when he comes to bed and not playing games with people.

"Go find Hook. See what he wants. And whatever you do, don't tell him youre my- girlfriend. OK?" I bite my lip looking down, I turn on the bed so my feet are touching the floor.

"Pan?" He turns to me, again, his eyes make my stomach drop, my heart race. But the disgusting smirk on his lips tell me it's hopeless.

"I- Oh, never mind. I will go on my walk now." I hold my breath as I kiss his check- morning routine. I walk away my clothes in hand when his cold hand touches mine, my mouth making an unexpected gasp.

"Be careful." I nod and rush to the clothing room. I take off my gown that Pan found me in the first night we met. I was a big- big fool, love at first sight, I was a stupid naive girl, but I do believe I love Pan, maybe not as much as I did for the first few months...

|Flashback|

A woman, I believe is my mother, begins tucking me into bed, her warm lips touch my forehead, I can't see her face, I will never be able to see her face. She blows out the candle flame, and then closes my door which creaks. Creaking and the wind, it's all I hear through the night. I sigh and get up walking towards the window, I do this whenever I can't sleep. I wait, for him. The shadow, but that night was different. The shadow appears but this time it grabs my hand.

"Wait! I need my stuff, I have been waiting for you to take me to your world for so long! Adventures, pirates, sword fights, NeverLand!" My mother shushes me from the other room and I look around, I have to go, this isn't my place. I stroke my dog, I don't remember his or her name, but he or she will always be in my heart. I take the black shadows hand and am pulled up into the unknown. I laugh, spreading my arms like a bird. I hear an echo and concentrate hard on the words.

"Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning!" That must be Peter Pan! I sigh contently as I am placed on a cloud, I go to scream as I fall through it but hands catch my waist. I gasp and turn around slowly, the wind blowing my dirty brown hair backwards. The boys smile, it was something different. Unique. Love at first sight. That is what I am thinking as I stare at this beautiful boy.

"Hello, I am Pan, Peter Pan. You must be Ever Last. You do have a beautiful name." I smile and he takes my hand in his. He begins to move his head next to my ear.

"You have to believe." I look at him and smile.

"To do what?"

"To fly!" He runs off of the cloud and does spins and spins, I watch in amazement.

"Are you not going to join me, Ever? Believe. In yourself, and me." I close my eyes and bite my lip. "You're doing it!" I open my eyes and I laugh, laugh harder than I have before. I wrap my arms around Peter with joy and we spin together, not stopping. Even if we are incredibly dizzy.

"This is just the beginning. Of our Ever Lasting Love." I laugh and my eyes widen and he begins to lean in, I meet him half way and our lips meet.

|End of Flashback|

My black boots trudge carefully through the Dark Forest, I only have to worry about monsters or animals, whatever they are here. The thing about dating the most powerful person in a realm is that you hardly ever get hurt- unless it's by them of course. Then the pain is extremely heartbreaking. Know that someone you could love so much, could bring pain on you, might not have a lace of regret in their heart.

I huff, looking around, I don't see the Jolly Roger- I mean Hook's ship, he wouldn't of adventured into the Dark Forest. Pan never told me what happened between them but he talks about him like he is shit under his shoe.

"I really don't want to do this, love. But you've left me no choice." A sword is pressed to my back and I stiffen, he pokes me with it and tells me to move.

"The caves, now." One thing I know for sure about Captain Hook is that he is selfish, and he would stop at nothing to keep himself alive.
