Lily P.O.V
As i open my eyes i gasp for air, coughing up the water that's stuck in my throat. I feel cold wet sand underneath me, and slowly i sit up straight. It's dark and cold, but stars shine bright in the sky. I look around trying to take in my surroundings as my eyes adjust to the darkness. Where am i? How did i get here? Questions that i already know the answers to.
''Neverland'' i whisper.
I stand up, wiping the sand of my bare legs and notice a small hole in my dark green nightgown. ''Crap'' I whisper underneath my breath. I turn around facing a tree line of a forrest, the trees are tall and bright green. Carefully i place my feet trying to make my way towards the forest, it is cold and the wind chafes my skin. Where did the shadow go? ''Hello?'' i squeeze out, And I jump at the sound of my own voice. There seems to be no sign of life besides from the soft sound of the wind. But i decide to continue walking hoping to find something.. or someone.
Pan P.O.V
The night is young and the stars start taking place in the dark sky. As every evening we have a camp fire with the lost boys dancing around it. I walk over to the big campfire in the middle of camp and sit next to Felix who is the one i trust the most.
"Give me food" i command.
"Off course Pan" he hands me a bowl almost half empty, where there should be plenty, of berries and grapes "Isn't there more?" "The boys forgot their round today".
Everyone here has duty's, for example collecting grapes, berries, anything we could eat. Clean water so we can drink it, or clean up around the camp. None of the boys like to do them, so they bet on them during games. We also bet on weapons.
"Why? Wasn't it clear? Cant anyone do something right in the first place?"
I feel my temper rise and turn my hands into fists. Felix rolls his eyes and continues sharpening his knife. I take a grape and eat it, trying to calm myself down. All the boys are dancing and yelling as usual. A shock runs through my body, and i drop my bowl.
"What is it Pan?" Felix asks. A smirk crosses my lips. He damn wel knows what it is, after all.. He has been here for over 30years. I look back up from the ground and look at Felix. "We have a visitor" i smirk. His eyes widen out of excitement and he gets up right away "A new lost boy?" "Perhaps" i say calmly. Felix grabs his knife and puts his hood over his head. "Then let's find out" he says. I too get up and look over the crowd of boys, my eyes fall onto Thomas and Sean. I put my fingers between my lips and whistle, Getting all the boys' attention. ''Thomas! Sean!'' i shout. ''Go with Felix, we have a new guest''. Bothe of them get up and their face changes into a playful smirk, ''What ever or who ever it is, bring him to me'' i smirk. The three nod and head of to the beach. We all know what this means. The shadow brought us a new lost boy. And it was about time.

Great i have walked in a circle for two times now and all i see are trees and the beginning of the beach. Maybe i missed something on the beach?
I run a hand through my hair and walk back to the beach. Where the heck am i supposed to go? I sit down on the sand and try to think. I look down at my night gown and its covered in sand. Great. I wave of the sand with my hand and look up.
I have never seen the stars like this. They seem brighter, lighter, bigger. A sigh leaves my lips and i hear a branch crack behind me. I jump up and turn around. Nothing. What the? "Hello!" My voice is shaking. "Hello? Is someone the-" my voice dies and my heart starts beating faster. There are three boys about my age standing in front of me. Their eyes are wide of disbelieve and confusion.
"Your a-a girl?" One of them asked in a confused tone. He is long and has short brown hair. . "Yes i am, why do you sound like that is weird?" i say with a small voice. "How? That isn't possible" another boy spoke. The second boy was a bit smaller than the first boy. He had gingery hair and freckles across his face. "What..?" Was all i could say.
My eyes shot towards the third boy, he is the tallest of the three and is wearing a long cloak with a hood on. Underneath is hood appear long locks of gold blonde hair in front of his long rectangular face, a scar crosses over his left eye. All he did was smirk. "Don't mind boys, Pan would like to hear about this" he says. "Who is Pan?" i ask in confusion. But i don't get an answer. He takes my arm and pulls me along with him into the dark woods.
I don't understand what is going on. Who is Pan? Where are we going? Was this after all the right choice? A thousand questions run through my head but my voice wont allow a word out. We walk through the jungle and in the distance i see a big light. I guess from a torch or fire.
We reach a big open field, with a big tree on the right side. I was right, the big light was indeed from a fire, a campfire surrounded by logs to serve as seats settled in the middle of the camp. Behind the field, tents surrounded the tree line. Boys young and old are dancing around the big fire, some of them playing instruments that look like flutes.
''Where are we?'' i ask the long slim boy with the hood as he finally lets me go. ''Camp'' the boy with the dark brown hair and eyes says as he inspects me. The hooded boy walks towards someone sitting on the logs by the fire, ''Pan!'' he shouts. I frown my brows to get a better look as the boy on the logs turns around. Instantly i get in trans, his eyes, they are green. But not normal green, emerald green, with a spark i can see from here. His messy chestnut brown hair falls down his face, his jawline illuminated by the fire.
He lookes at the hooded boy expectingly, they talked for a few seconds and before i know, the boy that had been sitting on the log is standing in front of me. I leave a gasp, overwhelmed by how fast het got here. He is taller than me, but not too tall. His arms are strong, his veins tracing down his arms. He walks around me in a circle, inspecting me from head tot toe. In his eyes lay the same confusion as the other boys had that found me, also a slight of disbelieve.
''How did you get here?'' he asks in a cold tone. For a moment i hesitate if i should answer, if they would believe me, if i would sound weird if i did tell them. But from his tone i can tell that i should better answer. ''The s-shadow, he came into my room and offered me to come here an-'' ''The shadow?'' he cuts me of. ''That is not possible, the shadow only takes boys, this should be a mistake'' My eyebrows knit together, a mistake? Why would it be a mistake to bring a girl here? ''What? Why? Why can't a girl be here? i ask him. ''Because girls are weak and useless and we don't need them'' My eyes widen in disbelieve. I can't believe what i hear. ''You will leave now!'' he growls. ''Useless?'' i scold at him ''No i will not leave! The shadow said i could get a better life here and i won't throw that chance away!'' i spit at him. The boys that had gathered around us stare at me in disbelieve. Witch is already better than how they had been looking at me before, all there was to be seen then was lust.
His eyes widen, the spark i saw earlier replacing with a dark glow. He grabs me by my throat, bringing his face closer to mine. ''You will not talk to me in that way!'' he growls in my face. I frown deeper and slap his arm away, as he removes his hand of my throat. My heart beats faster, i will not leave because he tells me to, who does he think he is!. ''I will talk to you in any way i want! I will never go back to the awful life i had! i am here now and i will prove myself i am not useless!'' a sickening smirk forms on his lips. ''I can tell you are a though one'' he sneeres.
''You are lucky i like games''. I am lucky he likes games? What is that supposed to mean. The boys start chuckling and whispering to one another, i am definitely missing out on something. ''What do you mean?'' i ask softly. ''You get three days to prove yourself to be useful. If you do prove yourself, you get to stay'' he smirks darkly. I swallow and bite my lip, a habit i have kept sinds a long time ago. ''And if i don't?'' i mumble.
The smirk on his face gets even bigger than before, his eyes darken, the bright spark completely gone and no where to be seen. ''Then i get to kill you'' he chuckles.
