As I try to run out of the bay window he grabs my arm. "No Love don't do that!" He says. He pulls me up and holds me tight. I kick him in the shin and he stumble a tiny bit but not enough to make a difference. "Be nice!" His eyes were green and his hair was dirty blonde. He was wearing a dark green outfit and had brown belts and some leaves on him.
"Let go!" I snap kicking him again this time making him fall back out the window. Crap! Did I just murder someone?! I look out the window but don't see his body or any sign of another human life. I don't see any hands so he can't be holding on to anything.

I back up and close the window without locking it. "That was rather rude Love." I jump. Standing behind me without even a scratch stands the mysterious boy who was once holding me tight. As he steps closer I bend down and pull out my pocket knife that I keep on my ankle.
"How the hell are you here?!" I gasp.
He laughs and steps closer.
"Who are you?!" I say raising the knife.
"All in good time Love." He snickers. He takes one more step pinning me against the window. It flys open and I realize I should have locked it.

He grabs my arms and pins them to my side. Then he grabs the rope and ties me up.
"Let me go!" I bark.
"Soon enough Love." He grins. He pulls out of his pocket a small glass pint that has a purplish powder inside.
"What are you-" before I get to finish he puts it up to my face and plows. My head starts spinning ad before I know if he picks me up and throws me over his shoulder and jumps out the window. Then I pass out.

My eyes start to flutter open and all I can see is tiny bits of grass and wood pieces.
"Are you sure it's her?" A hear a voice call. It was kinda husky with a Austrian tone.
"Yes I'm sure!" I recognize that voice. It was the boy who took me!
My eyes fully open and I see him standing right above me.
"Rise and shine Love." He smiles.

"Where am I?!" I demand. I try to move but I'm tied to a tree.
"Calm down Love," he says picking up a piece of my hair and putting it behind my ear. "You'll hurt yourself."
"Calm down? Oh I'm sorry was I not just snatched from my room by a complete ignorant guy?" I glare at him with dagger like stares.
He just looks at me, smirks, and raises an eyebrow. "Now now don't be rude!" He says putting up a finger.
"I'm gonna ask you one more time!" I lean closer. "Where am I?"
"Oh my God! Just tell her!" The boy with the husky voice calls from behind the one in front of me. He's gathering wood for the fire in front of us.
The mysterious boy turns to me and smiles gently. He picks up my chin and tilts his head. "We're in Neverland!"

"You're kidding right?" I laugh. "What are you on? Are you two? Neverland isn't real dude!"
"Are you telling me that you don't believe in Neverland?" He asks.
"I'm telling you that I don't believe in fairytales. Period!" I bolt out with another laugh. Neverland! Is this guy for real?
"Of course you do," he stands up and walks around me and the tree I'm attached to. "Cause your the truest believer Love."
"You're mad!" I snarl. "What kind of joke is this?"
"It's not a joke Love," he replies helping make the fire. "It's real."

After a couple of minutes of watching them build a fire I realize I can reach my pocketknife. I quickly grab it and slice away the rope. After I'm completely free I start to run.

*=*=*
I feel I've been running for days, I haven't stop once, not even to look back. Finally I stop and lean against a tree. I don't see where I began so I must be far. "Gotcha!" Someone pulls me behind a bush and cover my mouth with their hand. I look up to see a boy with dark brown hair checking over the bush. "You're safe now." He pulls his hand away from my face.
I just stare at him blankly.

"My name's Conner," he tells me. "I was once part of the group of the guy to took you. But I was kicked out because I told them not to take you and to leave you alone. Now I'm on the run."
"So what?" I finally say to him. "Am I supposed to trust you? You just grabbed me when I was running away from my kidnapper!"
"You have of trust me or else you have no one!" I hate to admit that he has a point. So I won't.
"I don't need anyone." I look at his neck and see a small glass pint just like the one the boy had. But in this one was a green powder.

"It's pixie dust," he says. "But I don't believe so it won't work."
"Well," I say. I look over and see a cliff. "If I'm leaving then I'll need a weird powder to help me." I break the pint of his neck and walk over to the cliff.

"There they are!" The mysterious boy calls running with some other boys. He looks at the pint. "No!" He turns to Conner. "That's the wrong one!"

I don't take anymore chances. So I jump! As I fall I except the fact that I'm gonna die. "You idiot!" I hear the mysterious boy yell.
"What you said to show her the powder so she proves that she believes. So that's what I did!" Conner yells back. He was part of it the whole time!
"Yes but since that was on you so long it was pre-beliefed! She doesn't need to believe to use it!" The mysterious boy shouts.

I look down to notice that I stopped falling and am floating. "What the heck?" I ask myself. "Whatever." I shrug and float away with the wind. I land over by a cave and fall to the ground. "Ow!" I stand up and see that I'm inches away from the edge of the cave which leads to opening where one step can lead to death.

Crinckle!

I snap my head around to see a fox sitting next to me. "Hi there little guy," I reach my hand over to pet his head. "Where did you come from?" He backs up and stands on two legs and his fur turns into flames. "Why not!" I shout into the sky. "Cause this couldn't get any weirder!" The fire coated fox walks back over and looks at my with big puppy eyes. "You wanna stay with me for a while?" I ask it. And to my surprise he nods. "Well then I can't just call you fire fox now can I? How about Spiral? That's it I'll call you Spiral!" Spiral jumps up and does a flip. "Nice man!"

I look down at the opening of the cave. "Well Spiral, if I jump them I guess I'll eighther die or be saved by some freaky powder." I look back at him. "Wanna come with?" Spiral jumps up and deflames. "One. Two. Three!" I jump out with Spiral hanging on from my shoulder. I float up and just start laughing. "This is so a dream." Right?
