When I awoke I wasn't on the beach anymore but what looked like a camp.
"Well look who is finally awake" said a young boy sitting on a log while sharpening a knife. He couldn't be older than seventeen. The boy put down the knife and walked over to me lowering himself to my level. I gave the boy a look expressing my confusion.
"Oh did i forget to introduce myself? I'm Peter, Peter Pan And these are my lost boys." About four or five boys stepped into my line of vision.
"Where am I?" I questioned still groggy from just waking up.
"You're in Neverland. The place full of magic and where no one ever grows up." Peter replied. I stood up slowly leaning against the tree for support.
"Why am i here?" I questioned
"Well you see, your parents didn't love you just like everyone else's here. I send my shadow out at night to go collect kids who feel unloved and lost. He brings them here to live forever with me. No one ever leaves Neverland because they never want to. Isn't that right boys?" Peter shouted and there was an uproar of cheers from the boys. "Well now you're one of us." Peter said placing a hand on my shoulder. "make yourself at home. Some of the boys and I have to go hunt to get us some dinner. So we'll be back soon and we'll show you the ropes." Peter yelled about going to hunt causing the boys to erupt in cheers. He and some of the boys ran off into the woods while one stayed back.He was leaning against a tree pushing the dirt around with his foot while watching the boys run into the woods. Once all the boys were out of sight He looked at me for a quick second then walked over to sit on a log by the fire. He looked up once more like he was going to say something but then looked back into the fire as if deciding not to. I decided to go over and sit with this boy. The boy had black hair with fringe just like mine except pushed to the right while i pushed mine to the left. He had ocean blue eyes with a little green mixed in. He seemed... lonely was the only way i could think of putting it.
"Hi" I said quietly. I was never really the most outgoing or social person back home. I would have never been the first to say hello to someone, but here goes nothing.
"Hi" he said back even quieter than mine. "I'm Phil" he said getting little louder.Revealing a british accent like mine.
"I'm Dan. Why didn't you go with the other?" I questioned.
"It's all a game to him" he said catching me off guard.
"what is?" I asked wishing he wouldn't be so cryptic.
"It's all lies" he said " Everything Pan says or does is a lie.He makes everyone think he's their savior but he's really just a monster. He was on the island before anyone else and once he realized how alone he was, he started taking kids and manipulating them. The worst part is when the kids get to old he gets rid of them"
"What do you mean by gets rid of them? Where do they go and I thought you couldn't grow up here?"
" wow your a fast believer huh?" Phil asked surprised.
"I've seen it before. My father used to bring home these magical objects after his business trips and I would secretly watch as he would try and figure out how they worked. I always want to try but dad kept the locked up tight so I could never get to them." I explained quickly wanting Phil to get back to his story.
"Well I was one of the first boys he brought to this island and at the time I was the youngest of the group. When the oldest boy went missing i didn't think anything of it but then the other two boys went missing and I was the only one left. As more boys were brought and disappeared I started putting things together. Your body might not age but your mind does. The boys that were taking they started getting smarter and disobeying Pan. I don't know what happens to them, all I know is one minute they're here and the next they're not. "
"Well maybe Peter just sends them home."
"I doubt it. He has this weird thing about adults. He despises them. He believes no one should have to become an adult."
"So How long have you been here than?" I questioned hoping to get more information about this boy. He seemed as though he wasn't used to talking to anyone.
"I don't know, time works differently here, but It's probably been a couple of years now"
"A couple of years!" I exclaimed "Haven't you ever tried to get off the island?"
"It's like Pan said you can't get off the island once you land he won't let you, but to be honest i'd rather stay here and take my chances then have to go back to my old life but some of these boys didn't have it so bad. I just wish Pan would let them decide if they want to stay or not."
"How do the other boys not notice that Pan's getting rid them one by one?"
"I think they know deep down but they don't want to believe it. Pan has them brainwashed into thinking they love the island.Well I shouldn't say that, because most actually do, they have fun all the time with no rules, it's every boy's dream. Not to mention this batch of boys did have terrible lives before, so Pan did help them get away."
"So why-" he cut me off by covering up my mouth with his hand and putting his index up to his lips. Behind me I heard the crunching of leaves. He dropped his hands quickly looking into the fire once more just as Pan and the other lost boys walked back into the camp from the woods. Two boys carried a post with a hog tied to it. They were all screaming and laughing. Peter came and sat next to me on the log putting a hand on my shoulder which i shrugged off me nonchalantly.
"Well I see you met Philip" He said happily
" It's just Phil" Phil said coldly glaring at Pan.
"Ok Phil. Why don't you go show our new lost boy here the island while the rest of us get ready for dinner? I'll come and get you when it's time to eat." Peter asked. Phil shrugged and stood up giving me a look that said to follow and I did. Phil turned around to face Pan again
"And his name is Dan. which you would know if you even bothered to ask." Then he started walking back into the forest. I looked back at Pan who was now clearly angry with Phil. Turning back around I smiled at the thought of finally having someone stand up for me.
"You coming or not" Phil called standing at the edge of the woods.
"Coming" I yelled as a caught up to him and we entered the forest together.
