Welcome to Foreverland #onceuponnow story

A land of make believe

I walked through the meadow and closed my eyes as the wind touched my face. Finally somewhere that felt so right if only Logan could be here with me now. I opened my eyes taking in more of the breath taking scenery it looked like something from out of Camelot but with a modern feel. I heard a noise in the distance and decided to explore. I walked closer until I came upon the river. I saw a young guy with wavy blonde hair dressed in a black cloaked hood and warrior attire. I did a double take not believing my eyes. He looked like the same guy from the painting but that wasn't possible. The painting was centuries old, I had to get a closer look. I stepped over branches trying not to make a sound. I hid behind a tree then looked back and the guy was gone. I took a deep breath then a blade just passed me at lighting speed brushed past me into the tree. My eyes got big and I looked around suddenly the mystery guy was in front of me.

"Why were you following me?" He asked come closer now his cloak on his head.

"I-I" the state of I was in stopped me from speaking.

He drew a blade from the back of him and came closer. "Who sent you?" He asked his voice hard.

"No one sent me, I was with my class and I got lost." I lied but hoped he couldn't see it.

He lifted a brow in skepticism then pulled the blade from the tree. "You can't get yourself killed out here. What is your name?"

"Sam-m". I stuttered and watched his movements.

He walked around me and when he was satisfied I was not a threat. He placed his weapons back in there place. "Nice to meet you Sam."

"What is this place?" I asked moving cautiously away from the tree that just had a knife in it.

He narrowed his eyes at me. "Your really not from here are you? This is Foreverland".

He started to walk not waiting for me to catch up. I looked around then followed him. He moved branches out the way and glanced back every once in awhile. We walked for about twenty minutes then I saw kids holding hands and dancing around in a circle. They sang a old Celtic chant and the most amazing thing happened flowers started to sprout around them as if the song was giving them life. I pulled out my mini tablet and looked to see if this place was on the map and it kept blinking unknown location. I switched it to camera and started taking video and my guide turned around.

"What are you doing?"

"Taking video for my brother he's always talked about this place. I want him to know it exists."

He walked up to me and looked at the tablet curiously. I put it to his face and he backed up.

"Don't do that." He pulled off his hood and his beautiful blonde hair fell to his shoulders.

"You never did tell me your name." I put my hands on my hips.

He walked up to me and my breath stopped. This guy had a weird power over me that I couldn't shake. I took in his full beauty he was slim but fit with a tattoo on the side of his neck. His grey blue eyes looked down at me. "Tristan L' Fey."

The way the name rolled off his tongue made me bit my lip. He smiled with amusement in his blue eyes and walked away. The children stopped singing and chuckled. Some people looked at me and pointed. I looked around then held myself.

"Who is that mommy?" A little girl with dark red hair and green eyes looked at me. Her mom a slim woman with the same red hair held on to her. "I don't know honey maybe a newcomer."

I looked around for Tristan and started walking through the city. Seriously this guy is going to have me walk around alone. Suddenly appeared in front of a food vendor slicing a apple. I jumped back. "Jerk."

He laughed with that same amusement in his eyes. I gave him a stern look and his expression softened. I started walking off in the other direction. He swore then walked after.

"Sam!!"

I kept walking fighting back tears as people looked at me and backed up.

"Sam!!" Tristan yelled and his walked turned into a jog.

I turned around and he finally caught up to me. "Look I'm sorry your right I never should have left you by yourself."

I crossed my arms and looked at him with anger in my eyes. He suddenly looked down then sighed. "Come on I'll take you to get something you must be hungry."

My stomach rumbled at that moment and he smiled and put out his hand. I hesitated then took it.
