They had all done something that had made others look up to them. Either from doing that with a bow an arrow, to a sword, to even some light and dark magic.

When El was seven a shadow had come for her in the middle of the night trying to take her to a place called Neverland under a boy named Pan's orders. Thankfully her family had saved her from such a monster. Though she kept having dreams thanks to Pan, and when she would wake up she would have burns and bruises running down her skin. Her family then decided to take her memories and magic away. They took away things Elena didn't even know she possessed. Life after that had been good she had always felt alone and burdensome, but she wasn't in danger. That was until one night Pan had somehow wormed his way into her dreams again giving back her memories that were stolen from her, and leaving a promise with her. That he was coming for her. She didn't know what any of this meant, but she knew she had to find out. She found a book all about Pan thanks to her fathering being the author but before she could read it the shadow came again taking her to Neverland. She soon meets Peter Pan a boy she had never expected to be so cruel and evil. Who is looking for revenge on her family and is planning to get it through her. Can she stop him before it's to late, or will a feeling conquer all just like it always has with her family? True Love is said to break any curse so can it break the curse that has berried itself in Peter or will it overcome Elena instead?
