Long Way Home

Meeting Him

After a bit of flying the shadow dropped me off in a large clearing with a campfire in the center. As soon as my feet touched the ground the shadow flew away leaving me all alone in a huge, thick forest. All I could see were the tall trees, going on for miles. "I'm glad you made it safely here" a voice called out. I turned around and was face to face with a boy. After staring at him for a few seconds, all my mind was saying is he's attractive. The boy had brown hair, green eyes, and warm soft smile on his face. He wore a green faded shirt, with cuffs on his arms, dark brown pants, and tall leather shoes. All I managed to say was " Where am I?" He laughed at my question and said, "Neverland of course." I stood there in complete shock staring at the boy. He then said, " Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Peter, Peter Pan." He held out his hand for me to shake, I took it with one finger, "Sophia Sandov, is my name." "I know," he said " My shadow brought you here." "That was your shadow, I thought that was my guardian angel!" I said. " It was somewhat like a guardian, except I'm taking over that job now." Peter said. " What do you mean?" " First off let me say sorry for what I have brought upon you." Peter said. "What happened?" I asked. " How about we talk about all of your questions somewhere more private, and all your questions will be answered." He said, gesturing to the trees as if there was someone there that would steal the information and was listening in on us." How do I know I can trust you, after all you might be a killer." I said. "You'll just have to believe me that I will do you no harm." Peter said offering his hand for me to take. I hesitate but, I reach my hand out to grab his." Okay," I said while taking his hand. When we began to walk I noticed something hanging around Peter's neck, a vial of sorts. It had dust inside and it was glowing a light green color. "what's that?" I asked pointing at the vial around his neck. " Awsome!" Peter said. " That's pixie dust, now we can fly instead of walk. It hasn't been working in years. Apparently someone believed in me." Peter said giving me a smile. I looked at him and started to blush. "At least something good came out of it." I said. "Yep, now let's get going." Peter said. Peter started to come closer and I got more nervous, I looked into his sparkling green eyes and gave him a smile. Then he sprinkled a bit of pixie dust over my head. "Now, think happy thoughts," Peter said. I was thinking of my old home and all the happy memories there, but I didn't start to fly instead I stayed firm on the ground. What happened, I thought that my home is my happy memory. Since that didn't work I thought of everything that happened today, flying with the shadow, meeting Peter and that moment when he was so close to me. I started to smile and felt very warm inside, and I started to hover above the ground. "Good job!" Peter exclaimed. He took off with racing speed but I was a pro at flying, I caught up to him in a matter of seconds and asked him" What did you think of to get you to fly?" "I thought of you," he said. "What about you?" "I thought of you," I admitted and started to blush again. "Hey, there is nothing to be ashamed of, I am devilishly handsome." He said and jokingly pushed me. I started to laugh at that comment. "Hey, we're here," Peter said. We came to a beach, it was very nice and clean. The waters were crystal clear and I could see tons of fish. "Amazing, huh?" he asked. "Yeah, now, you promised to answer my questions. What are you sorry for?" I asked while we sat down on a washed up log. "I'm really, really sorry." He said burying his face in his hands. "Hey" I said putting my arm on his back. "Don't start crying on me. I won't get my answers and I'm thinking your cute." He looked up at me, like a hurt puppy. "Promise you won't get mad at me?" He asked me."How could I? What happened obviously, was in the past and you didn't know me so you probably did what was best for you. Not some girl that you don't even know." I said. "Okay, I'll tell you." Peter said and began his story.
