Monster

Chapter One - Neverland

Authors note ~ this is a darlingpan Fanfiction, you'll meet Wendy later in the next chapter. Please read this chapter though, it's short and just an introduction. The rest of the chapters are much longer! Enjoy my story.

A land where all stays young and healthy. A land where there is magic and imagination runs wild. Sounds like a dream. But Neverland is not a dream, though it was once the place where children visited in their sleep and thought happy thoughts it had all changed. Now it was a place of nightmares, where only the brave and stupid stepped.

It all happened when a boy landed in Neverland. So many stories were told of how he had gotten there. Nobody really knew the real answer but the most popular belief was that he was once an older man who gave up his own son in exchange for youth, mortality and power. Then he took some lonely boys from villages during the night and took them back. They were named the lost boys. Sailor's feared the very thought of accidentally sailing passed that island because once you were there you couldn't leave. Pan was in tune with every grain of sand on that island. If you wanted to leave, you needed his permission and that was hard to come by unless it benefited him in someway or you were leaving to do work for him.

Not many people knew that Pan had a sister. She had died when Pan was actually a child , years ago, before Neverland. But when he gathered the power of the Island, he transported her rotting body to Neverland and brought her back, using Neverlands waters. He never told her this, that she had ever died. He wiped that memory and held onto her close. He felt her warm body against his and felt his eyes tear up. She was warm! No longer ice cold and lifeless but warm! As she opened her beautiful brown eyes, Pan stood up and wiped his eyes (clearing any sign of weakness from him).

"Liliana!" He smiled. "How did you sleep?"

"I slept good, really good. I've never felt so awake in all my life. How long was I out?"

Pan couldn't help but smirk. "A very long time."

He had never cared for anyone like he had his sister. Normally love didn't come easy to him, his stone heart wouldn't let affection in, not to his son, his father, mother. Nobody. But when his father abandoned Pan and his sister he felt a huge responsibility for her, being the eldest, and cared for her every need. He made sure she never went hungry, he treated her with clothes and toys and once a cube of sugar. She was the only thing that kept him sane and now with her back he felt hope again.

"Come, look around our new home. I have some boys I'd like you to meet, don't worry they will treat you like royalty, or else they'll have me to deal with." He said darkly and at the last sentence the lit up face that had greeted his sister back from the dead seemed to change and almost morph into the dark and eerie face he often had when he was imagining the many cruel things he could do to those who hurt his sister.

Liliana was taken aback. Her brothers kind and young face didn't seem as innocent and untouched as it had when she had last seen him. She nodded slowly and allowed him to take her hand and help her up. His grip was tight and his hands were rough and dry as though they had worked all day. But their was no dirt or coal or any sign of ware on them.

"Where are we Peter?" She asked.

Pan didn't answer, he just kept walking through the dark forest. The shadows hid the evil smirk that he almost permanently had on his face. Then he reached the darkest part of the forest, in the middle. The minute Pan entered, all the lost boys stopped dancing and looked directly to Pan and the girl next to him.

"Hello boys, time to welcome our very first lost girl."

Liliana was breathing heavy, her stomach had dropped at the look of these dirty and mischievous looking boys. She looked up to Pan who seemed to glow like a God in the shadows as he looked over his lost boys.

"Now then, Edward, Felix, tell me something. Tell me have you got the prisoners I wanted and the ship?"

"All of 'em Pan." Edward said.

Pan looked over to the direction of the cages, eyebrows narrowed "Okay boys, let's play."
