PART TWO

If there ever was a land I'd loved and lost the most, it would be here, my home.

Neverland feels like my home. I know it isn't, but it feels as if I am whole here, the great chunk missing is filled.

I try to sleep in a high up tree. It feels odd, being back here. Back in the forest that never sleeps, back under the impossibly bright stars and galaxies, where I feel so small but so free at the same time. At this moment, I can only think of what adventures lay ahead, hope, joy, vicious sword fights, mermaids, fairies, maybe even death.

I count how many shooting stars I see that night. There were two. I don't talk to Slightly and he doesn't talk to me. It hurts not talking to my only source of comfort, my only friend in this world I call home.

I hear gun shot.

Only the pirates have guns on the east of the island.

I wake up Slightly because if the pirates are here, who is guarding Peter?
