**READ SMART GUY FIRST** **COMPLETED** It's been five years since you left the academy. Five years since you left the only family you'd known. Five years since you left the love of your life. You lived with Layla in Hawaii for the past five years, but your mind never left the academy. You graduated high school at the top of your class, found a man who you were sure you loved, and you forgot about the academy until... Until Layla's 21st birthday.

A girl doomed before her own birth to be violently wanted by every person in her entire world, and then imprisoned for her entire life starting at age 5, of course wants nothing more than to escape. His Shadow is called to her, and takes her to Neverland, where she gets her freedom. And when you give an evil boy an innocent girl, opposites attract. I love the TV series, but I think Peter Pan should get to love somebody, so here's who and here's how they fell in love, as I believe it should go. Sorry for the bad summary, I promise the story is better! *Rating cautious, may change for some chapters TBA **I do not own the Once Upon a Time TV series, nor do I own their characters. I do own this story, and my main female character. ***Copyright***
