Peter Pan. That is what he will become. But this is the story of when he was Peter. Just Peter. Before Captain Hook. Before the Lost Boys. Before the Magic. Peter starts off living a plain life in the ordinary orphanage he has been raised in since birth. Dull. Lonely. Miserable. But Peter wants more than this. He's a dreamer. He dreams of friends. Of a family. Of freedom. Just as the real world starts to get into his head, Peter's life is suddenly turned upside down. One fateful night leads to the newfound hope that maybe Peter will finally get all he ever wished for. Or it will all come falling down. All he knows is that nothing will ever be the same, and he can never go back. Peter. Not Peter Pan. Yet. So how does this transformation occur, you may ask? Just follow the second star to the right and straight on til morning... {COMPLETED} Revised chapters so far: Chapter one Synopsis credit (except for some slight modifications): @kenzie_rae01 (aka my best friend ♥) The cover image was found on Pinterest. I take no claim of it other than some modifications. All images placed in chapter headers were also found on Pinterest, I take no credit. This. Is. The. One. I have struggled for as long as I have been writing with sticking to just one story. But this one is the very first I have ever completed. Revisions will be underway soon, which I will write how the progress is going as to what chapters have been revisited. I hope you fall in love with my characters like I have. I hope you want to join their world like I do. Happy reading :) All Rights Reserved.
