Mermaid Sisterhood (A Neverland story)

Chapter 4

"Did you do what I asked you to do?" Lindsey asked determined. "Yessss massster" one of the heads of the two-headed snake hissed. "We kept an eye on the girl, just as you asssked us to do" the other head continued. "Good. Now what was she up to?" Lindsey asked. "Ssshe just swam around here in the lake and sssshe looked really happy" one of the heads said. "That girl is way too obsessed with swimming, it's starting to become dangerous for me. I should ban her from swimming and I don't like her running in the woods all the time. But that would make her even more suspicious than she already is. I just have to continue the act for a while longer. Soon the time has come for us to make more detailed plans. My powers are almost restored. Now off you go my precious babies" Lindsey talked more to herself than to her two-headed snake but it listened eagerly as always. An evil spark lit up in the snake's all four eyes when Lindsey started talking about that the time was soon here. They had been waiting for far too long. 13 long years for revenge.

******************************

After Adrianna's nightly swim she was really happy and content that she had made the decision to do that. She had sneaked quietly in again and she fell asleep instantly.

That night she had a really weird dream, it felt so real. Neverland was under her and she flied over the island just observing everything. Suddenly she started falling from the sky and she fell, fell and fell for an eternity, it felt like. Her eyes teared up because the air was rushing in her face. The trees and the ground was getting closer really fast and just before she hit the branches of a tree, she woke up with a scream and didn't stop screaming before Lindsey ran in to Adrianna's room and calmed her down.

"Adrianna, take it easy, shhhh, everything is fine. It was just a dream, mummy is here". Lindsey held her tight. Adrianna started breathing normally after the calming words. A few tears made their way slowly down her face. "The dream felt so real mum, I was falling and it was horrible" Adrianna sobbed. "It was just a dream sweetie, now try to get some sleep" Lindsey said with a smile as she got up from Adrianna's bed and went back to her own room.

Adrianna took a few deep breaths. A dream had never affected her like this before. Last time her mum had to comfort her after a nightmare, she was like seven. She was so confused once again. It was like the dream had tried to tell her something. Suddenly it struck her like a lightning. When she fell from the sky she had heard a voice say "We need you. Neverland needs you" and then she saw something green flash. She knew the tale of Neverland perfectly well so of course she thought of Peter Pan first. Peter Pan wore green. Could it be him? Neverland needed her, what did the voice mean by that? She knew for sure that she wouldn't get any more sleep this night. For a little moment she regretted going swimming, maybe that was the reason she had had that horrible dream. But that was only for a little moment because the swim alone had been so wonderful and now that she had calmed down, she was actually excited about seeing Neverland. A little part of her still hoped sometimes that Peter Pan would come to her window and take her to Neverland.

Little did Adrianna know that she was about to go to Neverland real soon but not in the way she could have ever imagined.
