Sleeping Beauty (original story)

Chapter Nineteen

Trapped

Locked in a caged enhanced by this pixie dust so her spirit cannot escape another empty cage beside her Melody could not help but laugh at the face that right when she wanted to live she is doomed to die. "Peter be reasonable i promise if you let me go i will not return" Melody remembered the memories of Neverland whenever she went into her sleep and how Peter Pan made her feel normal to how sad she felt seeing how broken he is and lost as the title says he was the first lost boy but was he ever a man did he ever have a family or people who cared for him or were they both just orphans.

"Why keep me here?" Peter turned to reveal his murder plot and how self serving it was "when your physical body dies then your spiritual body will stay here in this way i can love you without feeling it myself from you as you will be undead and trapped so that way i can live..forever" how can someone want to hurt themselves and someone else so much just for self preservation reasons "why can't you let me go!" Melody was worried now and the feeling of being trapped like a prisoner set in "i am sorry" Peter looked away after uttering those words to her then with the cage high up in the air Melody considered her options which again became more existent when she resisted he'd use pixie dust and for some reason it was debilitating to her now she was in a cage which is covered in dust.

Melody had no ideas and no options so she cried and cried without hesitation which irritated her guard Felix "shut up" he grumbled at her with his dirty blond hair and dirt covered face with dark eyes almost lifeless which frightened Melody "how long have you lived in Neverland,Felix?" he only ever does what Peter ask's and barely speaks for himself then again everyone in Neverland seems to just be a pawn in Peter Pan's game but what power did he have and how can she use any information to escape or to bargain for her release.

"I been living in Neverland since i was ten and now i am a teenager but this is my home my family never wanted me anyway" Felix's words rang true to Melody because in her heart of hearts she knew that because of her debilitating syndrome,illness whatever you wish to call it that it lost her the love of both parents and made her life and unbearable hell for which there ironically is no waking. "My parents didn't want me and my mother gave me over to the government but before that my dad left because he got sick of me being the way i am so i truly have no one in the world" Felix heard her words and gave her an apple "sorry..that sounds beyond cruel" all Melody could muster was a smile crooked smile.

This all made Melody think of the legend of Peter Pan which brought back memories of how she loved the character from both the Disney movie and the one Jeremy Sumpter played how Peter always portrayed a cocky but cute and confident, fun, easy going yet dangerous also broken boy who in a way was beautiful to her maybe because there pain was shared and that in there pain she wanted to live a dangerous life considering the only excitement she got was from her hospital bed. Peter came back "let's go" he opened the cadge with no other information then those two words and no chance of escape as the dust and rope which tied her to Pan made it impossible but what was going to happen now was everything nearing the end.
