He's a Hero to me. (A Peter Pan - OUAT - story)

{chapter thirty seven}

Caleb follows us and we find a small table.

"Where would I go if I went with you?" Caleb whispers.

"Neverland," I say. "It's a beautiful place,"

"There's a couple other boys, and I really think you'll like it," Peter says.

"You live at the actual Neverland?"

"Yeah. And he's, he's actually Peter Pan," I say, smiling.

"Woah,"

"So what do you say, Caleb? Come back with us. Get to know your older sister," Peter says, smiling at both of us.

"But if I don't leave, where would I go?"

"Well, you'll probably have to go back to the orphanage," I say.

"I don't want to go back there..."

"So you're coming with us?" He nods. I smile.

"Great. Do you have any friends you want to say goodbye to?" he nods. We take him to the orphanage and let him stay for a bit. Peter takes me to my old house. I go through my old belongings, and grab a couple things I wanted. My old teddy bear, a locket with my birth parents picture, and a pocket watch that belonged to my real father. They died when I was 6 and I was adopted by the abusive ones when I was 8. Peter takes me back to the diner, where the Charming's were waiting. I was tired. It was a bit past dinner time, but I felt like I could go to bed.

"So, how about we get you guys some dinner, and a room at the inn? I think you're all too tired to make that trip now," Charming says. I nod.

"Yeah, that sounds good," I say. Then, the tiny bell at the door rings, and a small boy walks in. It's John.

"John!" I say, very surprised about how he was here. He comes over to us, and climbs in Peter's lap.

"How did you get here?" He asks him.

"The shadow took me! He said you needed my help," John say. Peter sighs.

"God, the shadows acting up again," he mumbles.

"So four rooms?" Charming asks.

"Four?"

"John, Wendy, and both of you?"

"Two rooms. Peter and I will stay together and John can stay with us, too," I say.

"Okay. Granny you hear that?"

"Got it. Ruby will cover the food, and I'll get the rooms ready," she says. I smile. John leans into Peter and lays his head on his chest. Gold walks in, not bothering to say hi, but keeping his eyes fixed on us. I try to not let it bother me, but when the dark one has an interest in you, it's hard to ignore. Ruby brings out the meals we got earlier. We all eat and after, Granny comes out saying our rooms are ready. I smile, and get ready for my first night back in town in a long time.
