Lost In Neverland

I Have a Proposition

Emma followed the mysterious boy through the trees and underbrush.
"So you never did tell me your name." Emma murmured trying to sound casual and the boy turned flashing her a smile.

"I'm Peter." He told her slyly and she stopped short.
"Whoah whoah whoah wait! You name is Peter?"
"That's right."
"As in Peter Pan?" She asked eyes shining with excitement and he grinned.

"Yes, I do believe that is my name." He told her calmly and she smiled.
"I'm Emma,Emma Swan." She told him and he tilted his head to the side smirking oddly.
"Oh I know" he informed her creepily and Emma frowned.

"Uh how did you kno-"
"Does it matter? Now follow me I want you to meet my lost boys." He told her as he began walking again and Emma frowned but shrugged as she followed him.

She followed him for a good twenty minutes or so then they stumbled into a rundown campsite.
"Boys!!" Peter yelled and about ten or so boy crawled out of the tents, hammocks and from the bushes.

"Alright line up single file" he exclaimed and they did from oldest to youngest. "Alright this young lad here is Toby he's five and our youngest lost boy, next up is Buddy he's seven, Raphael or Ralphie is seven also, this is Max he's eight,Frank here is eight also so is Tommy, Lucky is nine and so is Sticky , then Eli here is ten." He finished and Emma smiled at the boys
"I'm Emma, I'll be twelve in about two months." She greeted and Toby smiled wrapping his arms around her legs.

"Hi Emma, are you here forever?" He asked catching Emma off guard.
"What...uh well..er...I don't ...no buddy see my family is probably looking for me." Emma reasoned and Peter laughed getting close to her ear.

"No Emma I don't think they're and besides you're one of us, an orphan." He exclaimed and Emma frowned at the word, she had heard all her life the word she had been branded with since she was just an infant. How she despised the word, no loathed it, but its what she was.

"Which is why I have a proposition for you, stay here where you'll belong, be our mother." He offered and Emma gasphed looking at him curiously.
"You'll never age, you will be free of responsibility. Best of all you'll have a place where you'll belong. You don't have to answer immediately, take your time think it over." He whispered.

Emma frowned as Buddy and. Toby took her hands.
"Come on Emma you can have the best hammock we got." Buddy offered and Emma smiled maybe staying just until her parents came for her.
"So is this all of the lost boys?" Emma asked and Peter grinned shaking his head.

"No these are just the young division , there are many more lost boys out there." He whispered as he turned and disappeared through the trees.
Emma frowned then smiled at the boys.

"Well how about we all get ready for bed then and I'll tell you all a story." Emma offered and Ralphie snorted.
"We've heard all the fairy tales out there!" He complained and Emma grinned brightly.
"It's not a fairy tale this a story of my life." She told them.

All of the boys began to sit around her in a circle, intrigued to hear more. Emma smiled as she pulled Toby onto her lap.

"Well once when I was around six years old I lived with this incredibly nice foster family they were two old people me and my best friend lived with them she was like a sister to me sadly though when I was seven i was taken from that family when the old couple died, it was so sad it made me feel like I would never be happy again,but things did brighten up and I met a young girl named Carrie, she saved me and I lost her to a horrible woman. I guess it was just fate though because I was able to be reunited with my family two weeks ago." Emma finished and Toby hugged Emma

"I'm sorry you lost lots of people." He whispered and Emma grinned
"It's alright little man its made me stronger." She then helped him into his hammock and helped all of the other boys into there hammocks.

"Emma?" Max asked softly and Emma smiled .
"Yes m...max?" She asked and he smiled leaning on his hand.
"Will you tell us another story tomorrow?"

"Sure max I'd love to." Emma whispered as she crawled into her hammock the boys had given her. Emma looked up at the stars and smiled softly.
"I will find you I will always find you." Emma whispered as her eyes grew heavy and she let sleep take her over.
