Peter Pan x Wendy Darling (OUAT)

8. rock and roll

🌻 Wendy 🌻

"What are you doing here?"  Peter comes towards Devin, grabbing me off of him. There was something off about him like a new sudden darkness

"Peter, please. Listen I'm-" he cuts him off, slapping him, leaving a brutal mark on his cheek.

"What's wrong with you?" I shout at him, I tug on his shirt but he just pushes me again, throwing another punch at him.

Devin spits blood out and had the most suspicious smile on his face, "screw you."

Again Peter punches him, clenching his jaw.

"He's been lying to you, Wendy. All this time. You can't trust him. He's pathetic. He loves you! The great mighty Peter is in love!"

"Shut up! I-" Peter was about to throw another punch at him until I stood in front of Devin, glaring at Peter, "Get out of the way."

"Please, stop!" I beg him but he just shakes his head, trying to get me out of the way, but instead I slap him, leaving a mark on his cheek.

He clenches his hand and you can tell he looked like he was about to me. He raises his hand up, but I stood still.

"What are you going to hit me?" I ask him, seeing that he stops himself, turning away from me in disgust.

I run to Devin who looked horrible. He has a black eye now and probably a broken nose. If I didn't stop it, he would've been killed. Peter doesn't care.

Devin just gives me a small smile and groans in pain. Peter just stares at us. I can't read his face.

I was about to go towards Peter until Devin grabs my hand and quickly takes me away from Peter and deeper into the woods.

I don't know what he's thinking but I continue to run with him. I couldn't help but wonder why peter didn't run after us. He could've easily stopped him but he doesn't

Of course sooner or later Peters going to find us and either kill us or let us leave but I doubt he'll go with that decision.

As Devin continues to run, I nudge him to stop. I'm not good at running anymore.

"What's going on?" I ask him, as Devin let's go of my hand.

"It's not safe here anymore."

"What do you mean? What's going on?"

Devin begins going back and forth contemplating whether or not to tell me as I just stare at him.

"Listen, I know you love Peter-"

"what?!?"

"Just listen, I know you're in denial and it's fine. I know you never loved me and it was dumb for me to even try," he sounded so heartbroken and out of breath and he doesn't even look into my eyes, "but he's been lying to you this entire time." He's a liar and you can't trust him."

"What do you mean? Lied about what?"

"Look that field I took you to... you've been there before and you felt it didn't you?"

I look at him in confusion, the field of flowers. I had a feeling I've been there before with someone else, someone who I loved.

"And your dreams of that girl? You always wake up screaming. Well they're not dreams..."

"They're memories..." I say, finally understanding, "why can't I remember..."

Devin just bites his lip and turns away from. I already knew the answer but I just want to hear it from him.

"Peter took them."

"But why? Why would he do that?"

He shrugs, "he loves you... you love him. But he didn't want you to leave. Well he was going to ask you to stay with him but I guess he couldn't stand the other option of you leaving. Look Wendy, he does care about you a lot..."

"But my memories, Devin... my family, I can't remember them. I don't even- I-"

"He thought he was protecting you."

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know... Peter has a lot on his hands right. You and a kid."

"A kid?"

"I don't know, Wendy."

"He's going to find us, Devin.." a part of me wants Peter to find us but only me. I want to know why he did what he did. Why take my memory away?

We continue walking forward. I have no idea where we're going but it was better than staying back with Peter.

I have no idea what I'm feeling anymore. I wanna still believe peter is good but a part of me is saying he isn't who I think he is... I don't know when my memories are clouded up.

"He's going to make me forget you..." Devin speaks up, looking at the ground, "you're going to forget me."

"I could never forget you, Devin."

"You have before, Wendy."

I just look at him in despair, if this has happened before then just how much am I missing. I don't know anything and I'm just a game he can play with.

Devin looks up at the trees and shakes his head, "He's here."

He merges into the dark, disappearing as I stood up running in his direction but I don't see him at all.

I begin yelling his name several times, but I'm lost. I am by myself again... I'm strong, don't be afraid of the dark... I can do this... I can't.

I'm such a baby, I really can't do this. Peter probably erased my memory several times because I'm not strong enough.

I begin biting my nails because I knew someone was here with me. I wasn't alone but for some reason I'm still scared.

Suddenly, I felt someone grab my hand but I immediately jumped taking a few steps back.

"Don't come near me... please." I beg, seeing peter stare into me. He never looked so vulnerable.

"Wendy, trust me please. Look I-"

"You took my memories away...why? How- how could you?"

"Don't you do that, please. It's me."

"I- I can't trust you. You took my memories away, Peter... I can't remember my family.."

"We're your family."

"Don't. You made me forget!" I yelled at him in disgust.

"You asked me to! You think I wanted to do that!?"

"What? What are you talking about?" I ask, looking at him in confusion, "you're lying..."

"You think it was easy for me? You didn't just forget them, you forgot us. I can't make you forget certain things, Wendy."

"I want them back... all of it."

"Wendy-"

"I want them back. I don't care. Please! I need to remember..." I beg him, still not going closer to him...

"Okay, but you need to give me time... we have a new member.."

I didn't really care that he said we have a new member and it may be selfish but I want to know more about my family and myself... I don't even know who I am.

"What about Devin?"

"He's fine..."

"What are you going to do with him, Peter? Please don't hurt him... if you do that I will never-"

"I won't do anything." He sighs, putting his hand out for me to grab,"do you trust me?"

I look at his hand and then at him, "no I don't."
