Sleeping Beauty (original story)

Chapter Eighteen

Remember the Name

"So Melody this is the longest you have been in Neverland, what triggered the sleep as you call it this time?" Peter Pan seemed generally curious or maybe bored but with unlimited time on your hands i guess dull conversations are in abundance "i think that all the abandonment contributed to it then all the lies from my vileness prince charming or whatever he is was the last strike and i just went to sleep again i didn't realize i was until you kissed me" Peter wanted to hold her hand but someone who is only visiting in there dreams can't really feel anything that happens to them here in Neverland.

"So what are you going to do with my body since you plan on getting out of reality?" Peter was complacent in answering every question Melody had "i plan to bring your body here and preserve it while trying to find a cure or something that can make you real so i can touch you without feeling cold" whenever Melody looked at Peter she saw herself the anger and resentment also the self loathing over mistakes which could never be rectified. "You really want to help me don't you Peter" he looked back at her with Felix on guard as there meetings were hidden from the other lost boys and everyone currently residing in Neverland as they might see these meetings as weakness and exploit it to the fullest and so that is why Melody only met Peter and Felix and only saw the other's through tree's and bushes but was this dream getting to real and too soon now.

As Melody and Peter sat on the log continuing there conversation " who will bring my body here?" she asked wondering how someone who lives on Neverland leave and come back with essentially a cadaver with a pulse then cure a sickness that no doctors can even make strides with. Then again Peter did say that all Melody had to do was believe in him and it will happen that thinking lovely thoughts will make anything and everything happen in Neverland. "I have trusted people in your world who will bring your body here" Melody pried for more answers as to the identities of these mysterious helpers but got no where so she backed off with the hope that this damaged and dangerous boy will open up to her and if she was honest with herself she started to feel things for him that she never knew she could feel with her syndrome. "Peter have you ever been in love" Peter turned to Melody and said a stern "no if i want to remain a boy i can't be in love or i will die which is why i am truly frightened of you Melody i fear i am in danger of falling for you but i can't let that happen" Melody's eye's widened she realized that he never planned on bringing her body here but rather have her slip so far out of conscience that she can Never leave Neverland.

"Don't do this Peter, tell me how to wake up" he put his head down and walked away but Melody pursued with a resolve to live again just to get revenge for being tricked and lied to yet again all the while the other party had ulterior motives with her own life. "Stop following me Melody i have to do this i knew i had to from the first moment you showed up here and since i'm falling for you  i know you will be my undoing" Melody was now in a panic she had no clue how long she was actually gone from her world "do you always destroy the people you LOVE!" Melody's voice sounded as if it was on the verge of crying with how shrill it sounded Peter turned around and forcibly kissed Melody and she bit his lower lip "you have fire, i like fire" she was trapped in a place she once considered a save haven what an oxymoron. "Peter don't go,please" but he turned his back like his father before him on the very thing that gave him a shred a small piece of humanity and most importantly love "won't you die with me if you do this" Peter smiled "who said anything about destroying you here" a light bulb went on so he was planning on killing her physical body great now it's up to Jason or whoever has her body to save her from Pan's tricks, lines and games especially this game of life.
