Peter Pan Imagines OUAT

I Don't Need Your Help

I quickly look away from the boy. I still have no clue where I am or how I got here and I want answers. I want to go home. I don't want to stay here with this boy who looks like he might hurt me if I don't follow his rules. 

"Where am I?" I quickly ask, looking back up at him. He squints his eyes, taking another tiny step towards me.

"Who are you?"

"I don't really feel comfortable telling you who I am. I don't know who you are and I don't know where I am!" I respond, my voice rising in anger.

He stares at me for a few uncomfortable seconds before speaking again. "We don't usually get girls here. I want to know why you are here."

"I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M HERE! CAN'T YOU TELL!" I let out a few sobs I was holding in. "I don't know why I'm here or how I got here. I don't even know where h-here is."

"You're in Neverland love," he says softly. His voice is calm despite the tension that was in his voice earlier. "Now, will you tell me who you are?"

"N-Neverland? W-where is... Neverland?" I ask the boy, utterly confused. I have never heard of the place.

"Your name?" he sighs impatiently.

"I'm Y/n, now can you please tell me where I am. Who are you?"

"I'm Peter. Peter Pan. You are in Neverland. A place where lost children go. It's... an Island. You are far from home Y/n," he answers me.

I start to worry again. I am no longer crying, but the last few tears fall down my face in hopelessness.

"C-can I go back?" I ask, knowing what the answer will be, but clinging on to any hope there may be.

"No," he says quietly after a moment of hesitation, so quietly I would not have been able to hear it if it weren't for the close proximity we are in.

I take a few steps back from him. I can feel tears fighting to escape again, but I hold them back. "There's no way off this island then? I'm stuck here?"

"I'm sorry Y/n, but nobody can get off this island without my permission."

I give him an incredulous look, but also a hopeful one. "C-can I... can I have your permission then?"

"I'm sorry. I can't," he answers me, but he doesn't really look sorry.

"What?- Why not?" I ask, desperate to get out of here.

"Cause, if the shadow brought you here, you're here for a reason Y/n. I'm not going to just let you go that easily." He gives me an almost evil smirk.

"That's bullsh*t! I didn't ask to come here!" I yell. I didn't mean to sound so loud, but now that I have, I feel like I need to let it out of me. "I don't know why I'm here Peter Pan. I just want to go home!"

He lets me yell it out while he watches, unfazed, maybe smiling here or there. I go on for about two minutes before he stops me.

"Are you done yet? Look, I didn't ask for you to be here either, yet here we are. I don't know why you're here, or quite frankly, why I feel the need to keep you, but I do, so I suppose you keep your mouth shut and listen to me," he says, clearly frustrated, though he seems to be trying to hide it.

"Keep me?" I respond in disbelief. What does he think I'm a toy? And why the hell is he frustrated? I'm the one who doesn't know where I am. I'm the one who can't go home. I'm the one who feels trapped. Not him.

"I don't mean it like that Y/n. Will you just follow me?" he says, gesturing to the mass of forest behind him.

"No, I won't follow you," I say sternly.

I can see he is getting more upset the more I defy him, but I can't care less. I want to get off this island and I will find my way, whether I have his permission or not.

"Y/n," he says as he reaches to grab for my arm again but I react in time and pull back.

I quickly retreat from him. "I'm going to get off this island Pan, whether I have your permission or not." 

"You can't get off of this island without me. You can try as hard and as long as you want, but there is no way off the island without me Y/n."

"Well then, looks like I'm going to have to figure it out then won't I? I don't need your help, Pan." 

"What are you just going to live in the forest till you figure it out?" he laughs. "Good luck with that."

"I will  find a way off this island." And with that, I walk off into the forest, knowing damn well I am in over my head. I don't need Pan, I will get home.

I will be sure of that.

Hello, I apologize for how long it has been since I have updated. We just recently performed our school play after months of hard work. I have been super busy (You know how tech week is) and I have not been getting proper sleep or nutrition recently, but I have finally gotten back into my writing and hopefully should be writing some more now that the show's over. Please leave some suggestions (I lost the notebook that had all my ideas for imagines in it so I really need some... plz) and let me know what you think! Thank you for reading, have a wonderful night! (or day...)
