"Fly with me." That's all he says. I know that it's a terrible idea, but, he's so.. so.. charming. His hand is held out to me, while his body is floating outside my window. His green eyes suck me in, his smile makes me melt, but I know he has secrets. Dark secrets.

I bite my lip, weighing my options. "Why?" I ask him, leaning out my window.

His smile wavers. "I know how you feel. You're not loved... But! Neverland will protect you. I've been 12 a long time." His hand shakes. I grab his hand, tight.

"Okay. But..." I look back at my door, waiting for my parents to burst in saying they loved me. But they did not. Even I told them, that I was leaving. "Let's go." I place my foot on the sill.

He pulls me out so fast that I scream, arm and legs flailing in the air. He places a hand on my waist, steadying me. "It's okay. I got you."

I smile up at him, feeling what I have needed all those years.

Love.

"That little shit." My best fairy friend grumbles on a high perch above my head.

"What was that." I look up at her. Today was a rainy day, so we stayed at the Pixie Dust tree until it let up.

"My sister. She's annoying sometimes." Tinkerbell flutters down to me.

"Periwinkle? She's just excited." I say matter-of-factly. "She's just excited that you-"

"Alexis! Tink! We need you're help!" Imara runs to us, fear and concern written on her face.

"What is it?" I ask, standing.

Imara wipes her tear-soaked face. "Peri was kidnapped." She coughs into her hand. "By Peter Pan."
