Chapter 3: "Do you believe in magic?"

~Earlier~

Wendy:

The two adults that were trying to destroy magic laid there, lifeless. I began worrying. Then me and Henry start running toward the forest. There were boys chasing us.

'What would they want from fourteen year olds.' I thought.

We kept running, until Henry was pulled into a bush.

"Henry..." I scream but my mouth was covered by a hand and I was pulled into the Bush also. I bite the hand as I hear a small yelp of pain.

"It's okay. I'm trying to keep you away from them." The voice came from a boy. I met his eyes and stared for a while then looked at Henry who looked terrified.

"How can we trust you?" I asked.

"I was one of them once. He's looking for me too."

"Wait who's looking for you? More importantly who's looking for us?" Said Henry, finally.

"Pan, Peter Pan. I'm not sure why he wants you but he wants you, and he will get you." This startled me.

"Why does he want you?" I ask.

"Do you believe in magic?" He asked showing a small tube with what seemed like dust inside. It hung from a string around his neck, safety hidden under his scarf.

I shook my head.

"Yes." Henry said finally. I looked  at him surprised.

"Well, this is pixie dust. I stole it from Pan and now he's trying to get me."

"How do you know if it even works?" I ask.

"It doesn't. It's useless." He said putting it back under his scarf.

"I think I know how to use it." Said Henry, pulling the tube making the string snap. He held it in his hands. "You wanna fly?" 

We followed the boy to end up at a cliff.

"I know how to get to a safe spot from here. But..."

"We need to fly." Finished Henry as if he were already an expert at this.

"But that's impossible." Said the boy. Then Henry stepped back taking me and the boy with him.

"You just need to believe." He said sprinkling the dust over our heads. Then we started running towards the edge of the cliff and to my surprise we didn't fall to curtain death. We flew, it was unusual, but quite enjoyable. I could see most of what looked like an island.

"So what is this place anyway?" I asked the boy.

"Neverland.!" He yelled with glee. Then he pointed to a small opening. "There!"

We started flying down to where he indicated. We landed, but it wasn't the smoothest landing.

"See what you can do when you believe." Said Henry.

"You couldn't be more right, Henry. And Wendy, you should practice your landing more." He said with a smirk.

"H-how do you know our names? We never told you." Asked a frightened Henry.

"Lets make it a game; a puzzle to solve." He said.

"You lied you are a Lost Boy. You work for Pan."

"Not exactly." He said then stepped dangerously close. "I am... Peter Pan."

A look of fear filled Henry's face as well as mine while Pan stared down at us.

"Come on, boys!" He yelled pointing a knife to the sky. Suddenly the boys we saw earlier all came out from various places as they surrounded us. I find Henry's hand and hold it like a frightened child. Then the boy, Peter Pan looks at us with an evil expression.

"Lets play."

*Wow! I haven't done a longish chapter in a while! I hope you enjoyed this update.(wow I'm really awkward) uhm...goodbye.*
