It's been twenty eight full years since the Dark Curse was cast over then Enchanted Forest. Twenty eight full years since Lily was taken to Storybrooke. Caught up in the curse's aftereffects and those of Rumpelstiltskin's last spell, she wanders the town unseen. Unaging. Unknown. Unremembered. And, like the other residents, with no real memories of her own. With her mind degraded due to years of solitude, she hopes against hope that maybe, when this blond newcomer shows up, she'll get the happy ending that everyone else is getting. Maybe she'll even find the person she was meant for.

Uriel doesn't know where she is. Or who she is. All she remembers is her name and two yellow eyes with a deep voice. All she has is a dagger and a small brown notebook with rules about weird things. Things called "Dreamshade" and places called "Neverland." All she knows is that she should follow the rules, or she will get hurt. Rule #1: Try to avoid people, especially people named Peter Pan.

ALSO: I will not be sticking closely, if at all, to the plotline of the show, just because.... I can't. I just can't. It's too amazing to change. This work is completely MINE. ~Emma

"Because you've forgotten what it's like to actually feel something." I whispered. Peter's expression softened and the only sounds between us were the steady unsynchronized breaths falling from our lips. He swallowed, the closeness of our bodies making my heart beat faster and adrenaline course through me. The feeling was neither pleasant nor unpleasant as I looked into his forest green eyes. "How can you make me feel so belittled with only words?" his troubled voice fell into a whisper and he gripped my shoulders. "Is it your goal to stand before me and pull me apart until I am nothing?"

To me, Peter Pan always seemed like he can get any girl's interest. After meeting him for the first time, I have decided that my fate didn't belong to him. Peter, untainted by my rejection, took it as a challenge. A game, if you prefer. 10 days for me to fall in love with him which meant 10 days for him to prove himself to me. If I didn't reveal any feelings towards him by then, I was granted access off the island. But if I caved in to him, I, Amber Hawthorne, would never leave Neverland ever again. One problem, everyone knows that Peter Pan never fails. {FINISHED, BUT EDITING}
