SHADOWS WEAVE through flashes of light as I move through the portal.
Time moves endlessly until it doesn’t. Until everything stops and I’m
pushed through the icy barrier that leads me to another world.
My knees and hands collide with the rough ground and a sharp slice of
pain shoots through them. I wince and glance over at the portal, the icy
wind whipping my long blonde hair across my face as it closes with a flash.
And with it, my last way back to Neverland. My home.
Or what it used to be.

I can never go back now. Not after everything that happened. Not after
everything he did.
I fist my hands as my eyes burn and blur from the tears that threaten to
spill.
How could I have been so foolish? How could I have been led so easily
and been blind for so long?
Because you’re a fool, Tink. A stupid, naïve fool that believed anything
and everything Peter said.
And all because he once promised you love. His love.
Something he never had to begin with.
I shake my head, disgusted at myself for not spotting a monster when he
was staring right at me. With my past, I should have been able to see

one, and the first thing I do is feel sorry for myself.
I pull my long blonde hair around me to help guard against the cold bite
and glance around.
Where am I? I could be anywhere. That portal didn’t have a location on
it when I made my escape from Peter and Neverland.
A grunt and slashing sound filters in from somewhere around me. I turn
only to find a large, dark metal structure sitting in front of me. It’s wide
enough to hide a dozen men, but still doesn’t hinder the small light filtering
through on each side of it. My eyes travel up its size as it towers above me.
It’s at least double my height. My gaze finally lands on the night sky above
and its dulled starlight.
A pang of pain shutters through my chest as I look up at them, already
missing Neverland and its beauty.
But even though they hold none of the vibrance that Neverland has,
they’re there. And along with them is a familiarity that makes me feel less
alone.
I take a deep breath and nearly choke on the putrid smell that invades
my senses. It quickly seeps into the small space around me, making me
