I woke up. The sun was not up yet. I am lying on a soft bed. It is a small bedroom. I stood up, walked down the small stairs. In front of me is a forest. I started walking into it just to find Peter. My hand lightly pushed the leaves out. After a while, there someone appeared. A tall guy stepped out. He holds a weapon in his hand. 

"Follow me."- He said. 

"Why I need to listen to you?"- I asked. 

"Because that is the order of Peter Pan."- He said.

"He want to meet me?"- I asked.

"Yes."- He answered me.

"Who are you? You work for he? Why he can ordered you?"- I asked.

"I'm Felix. I work for he and you asked why he can ordered me? Stupid girl, you need to know that Peter Pan is the King of Neverland, the King of the Lost Boys. Here, if he allow anyone to leave, then that person is allowed to leave.  If he doesn't allow, no one is allowed to leave."- He said.

I didn't know that Peter Pan is the King of Neverland. If Felix said the truth, I will can't go home. He is a evil person? But he very kind with me. Although he looks a little scary. He treated me very well. I can think that he is a evil person. I followed Felix to a big camp. There are a lot of boys. I looked around. Then, a hand took my hand. I turned back. It's Peter. He pulled me closer to him. He looked into my eyes. I looked at he too."

 "I need you to go home, Wendy."- He said to me gently.

"Why?"- I asked.

" It's not important."- He said.

" Can I come back? Can I meet you again?"- I asked him.

"Yes, you can. Now, go. The shadow will lead you home."- He said.

"Okay."- I said.

He looked at me and nodded. Then he walked away. I stood and looked he gradually disappearing between the forest. I started walking to the sea where the shadow dropped me and looked back several times. I stood in front of the sea. The shadow came and raise hand. I took its hand and flew back home. It dropped me right into the window. I walked inside. It flew away. The sun has rise for a long time. John and Michael aren't in the bedroom. I sat on the bed. I think about Peter and last night. I still remember every moment. I very wany to meet Peter again. I don't know why but I have a special feel about him. I always think about him. About his image, his voice, his eyes, his gaze and his face. When I take his hand, he holds me in his arms, it's warm and familiar. Maybe because I met him in my dreams. He is sweet although he looks a little scary. When I fell asleep, he taked me to the bedroom. I wanna go back. Stopped thinking, I walked down the stairs. 

Two days past, this night I will back to the island. I opened the window, looked outside. The shadow came to my window again. "Let I meet him again."- I said. It took my hand. We flew over the sea. It dropped me down. I looked around, called out:" Peter. Peter." I heard some noise, I asked:" Peter? Is that you?" A guy stepped out. It's Peter. "Peter!" I smiled and ran to him. I was going to hug he. He touched my shoulders, maked me unable to get closer to him, unable hug him. I stopped, looked at his face. His face grimaced, looks not happy.

 He asked me:" What are you doing here?" 

" I going back to meet you! Why you look unhappy."- I said. I took his hand and said:" Tell me! You can tell me everything. You don't like me? You don't want I am here?"

 He let go of hands. He looked into my eyes and stepped one step back. He shook his head and said:" No, no. You shouldn't come here."

 "Why? You don't want I am here so you chase me away. If you don't want, I'll go."- I said. I ran away. 

"Wait! Wendy, wait!"- Peter said.

I heard his voice calls me. I kept running. I turned back. I saw he ran after me. He stopped running, stood in place. I ran slower. He looked down like he is thinking something. Is he thinking should he stop me? I ran continue. He took my hand. 

"Wendy, I do not mean that."- He looked into my eyes and said. 

"So what do you mean? Why I shouldn't be here?"- I asked.

"Because I think you don't like me, don't want see me. There are just boys. They will not treat you well."- He said.

"I like you, I want to see you. This is the reason that I came back."- I said gently. " Look! The sun is settings. So beautiful!" I looked at he and smiled. He looked at me. This is he. A sweet guy. Not scary, not aggressive. The one I want to know, I want to care. We stood together and watched the sunset. The sun was set. The stars started appearing. The sky was dark. 

"Wendy, the sky was dark. Let's go."- He said gently.

"Where?"- I asked. 

He took my hand and led me go to somewhere. Back to the small bedroom where he took to sleep. "The sky was dark. Wait for me here. Don't go anywhere."- He said.

"Okay."- I said. I stood in place and he walked away. He disappeared in the forest. I think maybe I can go around there. Just near here so he won't shout. I stepped out the bedroom. Looked around and started walking. I stepped slowly. Under my legs are a lot of plants. I saw a beautiful, small, red fruits. I gently picked a little fruit. I carried them back to the bedroom. Putter them in a small cabinet. I sat on the bed, waited for him. I walked out again. I saw some light of torch. Someone is here? I ran to it. I saw four women and two man. A woman wore clothes like here. Three others wore clothes like in my world. Who are they? Why they here? Peter said I am the first girl comes to this island. He lies me. I followed they. I heard they said:" Where is Peter Pan?" They want to find Peter. Should I lead they to his camp? Maybe he knew they because there is a woman wearing clothes on this island. I missed stepping on a tree branch. They discovered someone followed. They went to the grass that I was hiding. I stood up.

 "A girl?"- The woman with the long blonde hair said. 

Then a man wearing shirt said:" Maybe she works for Pan." 

"No, I am not. I'm not work for Pan."- I said.

"So, who are you? Why you follow us?"- The woman with black hair said.

"I am Wendy. I fallow you because I heard you said you are looking for Peter."- I said.

"You know where is Peter Pan?"- The man with a hook said.

"Yes. I can lead you to his camp."- I said.

"Why we need to believe in you? If it is a trap."- The woman with black short hair said.

"But it is worth a try."- The man with a hook said.

I walked to Peter's camp. We throught the forest. To a place doesn't have any light, any camp. It's not like camp. 

"So, where is Pan? Apparently the girl cheated."- The woman with black hair said.

"No, she didn't cheated. There are traces here that were once a camp. Pan moved the camp. So we don't see he."- The woman with the blonde hair said.
