Wanting Neverland {On Break To Edit!}

Magic~Chapter Three

"Great! We've got a deal! First let's get you into some proper clothes." He says making his beautiful wings disappear.

"Oh, and let's also do something about that." He said, pointing to my injured left foot.

Before I could answer, he opened the door of the room next to us and he lead me inside. The room was small and dimly lit. It was filled with dark brown cupboards that had various drawers of different sizes.

Peter pulled me to a chair and sat me down. He kneeled down on one knee in front of me and grasped the bottom of his dark green shirt. He tugged on his shirt until the hem gave up a long strip. He began wrapping my foot with the strip in silence, as I listened to the steady creaking of the castle.

When he was done, he walked behind me and I felt the tight cuffs release my sore wrists. I brought my arms forward and scanned the deep, red marks the cuffs had engraved there.

I sat on the chair patiently, watching Peter stride to one of the cupboards. He pulled out a plain grey t-shirt, dark blue jeans and worn black Converse. He handed me the clothes and walked towards the door.

"Change." He says, exiting the room.

I rolled my eyes. He could have at least said please. I averted my wondering eyes to the Converse. Between the tears and stains I could tell it was an older version of the shoe, the style was a little bit different.

Shaking off the thought, I took off my PJs and put on the t-shirt. It was so big, it ended at my thighs. Then, I wore the jeans, they exceeded my feet, so I rolled them up to my knees and folded the waist down a few times to make it tighter.

Finally, I pulled on the Converse, they were uncomfortable, but they fit. I opened the door and Peter greeted me.

"Here's what you have to do" he started immediately.

"First, I'm going to take you to a tavern and there, you'll have to use this powder to knockout the crew. All you have to do is sprinkle it in the air and get out so you don't fall asleep yourself. Then, and only then, will I wake you up from this... dream."

I gave him a nod in response. He grasped my hand, putting my palm upwards. He reached into his pocket and pulled the black pouch with the sleeping powder in it along with a dagger. He pressed the pouch and dagger in my palm until I bawled my hand into a fist.

When he let go of my hand I put the dagger and pouch in my pocket.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Actually, one more thing" I started, smiling at his annoyance. "When we first ran into each other, you told me it was dangerous to be outside. You said something about it being the day of the sun. What was all that about?"

He sighed in anger and glanced away from my weary eyes for a second. There's something really off about this guy, like he's putting on an act. I just can't figure him out.

I don't trust him one bit.

"This land runs on two things, magic and sunlight. As you may have noticed, it's been night time since the moment you got here. That's because in this land, the sun decides to only show up once a month."

"This is problematic since magic runs on sunlight. So, on the day of the sun, magic is unlimited unlike every other day-"

"Hold on, hold on, hold on." I cut him off. "You've lost me. So, magic runs on sunlight?"

"Yes, and the sun only comes up once a month."

"Okay, but magic?"

"Yes magic, are you deaf?"

"Holy shit this is the coolest dream ever!" I squeeled.

I shook my head, getting back to the conversation.

"Okay, so you can use an infinite amount of magic when the sun's out, making it dangerous. But what happens when the sun's not out?" I asked, curious as to how my mind even came up with these obscure ideas.

"As I was saying, before you so rudely interrupted, after the day of the sun we have a limited amount of magic left for the rest of the month." He explained.

"Gotcha, I'm ready, let's go!"

A gasp fell out of my mouth as Peter grabbed my hand tightly and began to sprint. The two of us flashed down the narrow hall, till we reached two enormous doors, which I presumed lead outside.

Peter pushed one of the two large doors open with ease and continued to sprint outside.

"Slow down!" I screamed, but he ignored me.

My eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness of the night, but I felt a gust of wind blowing on my face and sensed the movement of his wings.

"Oh my gosh!" I screamed, shutting my eyes tightly as I felt my feet lift off the ground.

"What-are-you-doing?" I yelled, so fast it sounded like a single word.

"Isn't is obvious? We're flying!" He answered flinging me forward and catching my legs so that he was carrying me bridal style.

"This is crazy!" I screamed feeling the wind fly through my hair.

"Hold on to me really tight." He says.

"No!" I screamed in frustration. What on Earth was this guy doing?

"Suit yourself." He says, suddenly speeding up so fast I couldn't breath.

My head flew backwards and my arms instantly slung around Peter. I shut my eyes once again and rested my head on his chest.

"You did that on purpose!" I screamed into his chest keeping my eyes closed.

After a few moments of silence, I built up the courage to open my eyes. I turned my head away from Peter's warmth and my curious eyes widened at the breathtakingly beautiful scene displayed in front of me.

The trees danced below us and the stars shined like never before. The bright moon was full and confident. For the first time I admitted to myself that I wished this wasn't a dream.

If this wasn't a dream, then my life wouldn't be pointless and dull. I'd be living in a world full of adventure...a world where I might not have to be all alone.

I let go of Peter and wiped away the single tear that dared to escape my eyes.

We stayed flying in silence for a bit until I caught a glimpse of light and we began descending.
