Finding Neverland // Peter Pan X Reader (editing)

Peaceful.

That's how Neverland is like now. Mid afternoon. Sun at its peak. Bright rays spread over the island and the ocean.

Light blue waves crashing at each other harmonically. Soft sand that covers the beach slowly getting soaked by them.

Behind the beautiful scenery is dark, evil looking forest, full with tall, dark green,almost black trees.
There's nothing calming about them. But still you can't hear a disturbing sound anywhere.

Even the animals are silent, not making a sound, trying to adopt as much of the scenery as possible. It's been awhile since the island felt like home to them. Isn't
it funny, how one day everything is kind and innocent and the next day cruelty is having a blast everywhere?

The newcomers have never had an opportunity to see the bright, welcoming forest. The second between the moment when the moon goes down for the sun to come up, in Neverland,at this moment everything is silent and yello-ish red. Soothing melody echoes in every single place. Warm breeze carrys the morning smell of fresh air and rain, even if it haven't rained for weeks.

That was Neverland. The world created from dreams and feeling that everyone shared while sharing the sweetest moment of their lives. The island that became home for creatures we thought were just a fiction. It became home for those who never had one. They felt loved and wanted. "The happy island", that's what they used to call it, until for an unknown reason the place turned dark. Evil made itself feel like home there. Fright and loneliness creeped in everyone's heart.

Tree's that used to be cooling and caring, became cold. Birds stopped singing, animals started attacking, the ocean that was once warm felt like ice. Flowers stopped blooming. Everything had changed. That's when once called "The happy island" became "Neverland". It was a warning for those who were lucky to not live there at that moment. To never land there, because once you do... you can never leave.

That was until she happened.

Like a rainbow after days of raining, she came into their lives and cast happy smiles all over their faces. Even the angel herself has no idea what she has done to everyone. She has no idea how many times their hearts have prayed to get their sweet lives back. She has no idea how many tears they have shed and how many nights they have stayed awake in hopes for catching a single light of warmness on the sky, but all they got was dark and cold atmosphere surrounding everything.

But with her stepping her foot on the ground, they felt something unusual. Something they haven't felt in a long time. Something sweet and at the same time bitter, something warm but at the same time cold, something soft but at the same time harsh. They felt happiness creeping in their hearts and only God knows how many times they've thanked him for this.

And that's how it is now. Neverland. Peaceful. Somehow going back to being "The happy island". Though it still has a long way to walk there, at least it's not alone. Everything is better when you can see the same happiness on every other person's face.  Neverland gets more powerful if everyone is happy.
