Finding Neverland // Peter Pan X Reader (editing)

Prologue

I ran and ran and ran with everything I had left in me.

He knows where I am. He knows everything and I don't even know where I'm going!

You can't escape.

I heard the voice again, whispering in my ear. I shook my head not thinking of anything else but freedom.

I ran until my legs couldn't keep up. I hate this. What did I do?

I can't do this anymore. I'm a failure.

I failed. Once more. I'll try again, I won't give up. But now, he's the winner. Again.

I heard it again. He's chuckling. Laughing at my poor attempt at escaping. The picture of his demonic face full of triumph flashed by my eyes.

I felt the wind blowing on my face. No, not the wind.

He found me. Of course, he did.

and this only meant one thing...

..I'm doomed.

Neverland. Have you ever heard of this unusual land? I have. Even more, I've been there. But it might surprise you how different the real place is.

As a kid, I always thought Neverland was a place where magic caused happiness. I've read about it, I've heard about it and even made up my own stories about a boy who never grows up.

I thought Peter Pan was a hero and I hoped that one day I would be one of his saved lost boys. But I never realized being safe, didn't mean being happy. It meant something else. I'm still trying to figure that out. But it's hard when you constantly have to fight for your life.

I had an amazing life with my family. Just thinking about them breaks everything in me. I wish I could just go back in time and take back everything I've done wrong to avoid this hell. I might have done something to deserve this. I want everything to go back to the way it was before. I miss smiling, I miss everything!

I miss singing to my little brother. I miss his innocent-looking eyes he would give me whenever I caught him stealing my chocolate. I miss playing with him. I miss him.

But the only reason why I'm happy to be here is that my brother is safe and no one can hurt him. And the only way he can stay safe is me being here alone and locked up. So, I'm staying here for that little worm's sake.
