Chapter 1: Neverland

Alright so I uploaded this fanfic on fanfiction.net a long time ago, but I decided I would add it here too, maybe update it a little, correcting a few errors.

I DON'T OWN ONCE UPON A TIME (I WISH..)

I DO OWN MYA

Chapter 1: Neverland

The wind blew in my face as my father's ship swung left and right, making it incredibly hard to keep your balance.

"Hold onto me!" My father cried out, and I obeyed, grabbing his black leather coat. "Don't let go, Mya." He said as the ship fell into the portal (created by a vegetable) that would take us to another land.

I shut my eyes tightly, until the sea was calm again. We had arrived. I slowly opened them and sure enough, there was an island in front to us.

"Welcome to Neverland!" My father exclaimed, and the crew cheered. I just stared at this Neverland place. It didn't look very 'welcoming', but my father promised there would be a way to kill the crocodile here. The man who killed Milah. She had been like a second mother to me.

I wasn't on deck when she was murdered, but my father was, and he rightly wanted revenge for her death. And so did I.

"So, any idea of a way to kill the crocodile?" I asked immediately, after the crew had settled down.

"Aye." He replied, staring forwards, "there's a plant here that might be able to kill him."

"Might?" I asked, unconvinced.

"It's our only chance to set things right." He told me, "don't you want revenge for what this-" he struggled to find the right word, "monster, has done?"

I nodded. "Of course I do. But what if it doesn't work? You could get hurt, or worse-" I started, but he interrupted me.

"I'll be fine. But I'm not going to stop until he dies." I knew he was determined, but what he said frightened me. It was as if he didn't care if he died trying to get his revenge. As if nothing else mattered.

"Okay. So when do we start looking?"

"Eager I see." My father noticed.

"That I am. So, should I go prepare a-" He cut me off in mid-sentence.

"You are not going anywhere."

"...What?" I asked confused. "I seriously hope this is one of your very poor jokes."

He shook his head. "No joke, Mya. This island is dangerous. I'll be going alone."

I tried to reason with him, I really did. I even tried my 'puppy face', that was my big move, but he didn't budge. "You won't be going. That's an order." Damn, he was serious this time. "And my jokes are not poor." He added relevantly.

I raised an eyebrow at him but he ignored me and told the crew to anchor the ship, right before he left for the island, searching for this plant.

Maybe I was crazy for going after him, but I wasn't going to let him go alone. Not after he told me he was willing to die. That scared me. I had already lost my mother, and Milah. I wasn't going to lose him too. When I knew no one was watching, I grabbed a dagger from the ship and put it in my pocket (it doesn't hurt to be prepared), and I set off for the island.

So that was the first chapter (yeah, I know, it sucks- to be fair I wrote it two years ago or so, so cut me some slack ahah) I promise it gets better.. so don't give up just yet!
