Neverland's Captive - Ouat Peter Pan

Chapter 17 - Tinkerbell

It had been hours since me and Baelfire had escaped the cages. We were still roaming around the woods looking for Tinker Bells treehouse, I couldn't help but wonder more about him. He said he came here because he was saving a family, but he didn't say it was his.

Eventually, curiosity got the better of me and asked him, "Since we're gonna be here for quite a while, do you mind me asking about that family you saved?". He looked at me in a distrusting way, probably deciding whether he should tell me or not, I mean we did just meet.

"If you couldn't trust me, I wouldn't have cut you down from that tree, we're in this together now, I promise", I say trying to regain his trust in me. He smiled at me and begun to speak.

"I originally came from a land with magic, called the enchanted forest. My papa was corrupted by the power he had, so I used a magic bean to take us to a land without magic, so we could be happy together", he started to explain.

I could see he was halfway through his explanation at this point but I couldn't help but think about what he said about the magic beans. I remember them from what Tiger Lily had said about them, they were able to transport people to any lands they wanted to.

"But my papa was too much of coward and abandoned me in the other world. That's when I met Wendy Darling and her family. They took me in and everything was perfect. Until the shadow tried to take Wendy's brother, so I took his place instead", he says with sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I know what it feels like to lose people but what's important now is getting a way out of here", I explain.

"But we've been looking for Tinker Bell for ages and we haven't found her, I feel like we're just going in circles, this island feels so big", Baelfire explains

"I know but if we don't keep going we'll potentially loose our chance to get off this island", I respond. And a few steps later, as if it was a miracle, I saw the tree house high up in the tree tops with a ladder leading up to the entrance.

A smile of relief appeared on my face and I stopped in my tracks as soon as I saw it. At first Baelfire was confused but then he looked in the direction I was looking towards and realised what I was staring at.

A smile appeared on his face also as he started to run over to the ladder that lead to the treehouse. "Are you coming then", he laughed.

We begun to climb the ladder and when we reached the top I looked around the treehouse. It was quite big considering it was a tree house and it had a hammock in the corner of the room. However, there was no sign of Tinker Bell anywhere but someone was definitely living here.

"She's not here", Baelfire sighed.

"She'll turn up soon I'm sure", I reassured him.

"But what if sh......", Baelfire begun to say but suddenly stopped. I turned around to see him collapsed on the floor and some sort of pink dust in the air.

"What the...?", I say, believing that Pan was responsible. Then a dagger was pulled to my neck from behind.

"Why are you looking for me", a woman's voice spoke. "Do you work for pan?", she insisted, pressing the knife deeper into my neck.

"Tinkerbell?", I questioned.
