He isn't back yet

He isn't back yet

Oh my god he isn't back yet

What to do what to do? Oh my god! I cannot sleep; I have been trying for the past who knows how many hours but nothing is working...what is sleep? What is dreaming? What is dozing off? Oh my god where are you pan?!

If he did something to hook, I would have heard a yell. If something had happened to Pan, I would have heard him yell...Neverland would have changed, Neverland would have died but...but that could not possibly happen, Pan is too powerful. What I am afraid off is what he could possibly do to the pirates. No, I am not worried about the bloody filthy disgusting outrageous pirates, I honestly wish they suffer, suffer hard! But still, hook is stubborn, he would want revenge. Then again Pan is much more stubborn, he would fight back and this will definitely cause a huge problem.

He should have shown up by now. What could have possibly happened? Pan used his magic to drown the entire ship? Every single pirate has a dagger in their heart? Probably heads hanging from a tree? Maybe Pan threw them to the mermaids, or maybe he stung them by dreamshade. God too many, too many thoughts not enough space. Man I need to rest. I am exhausted and my wounds are hurting again. Atleast when I am unconscious I wouldn't feel any pain. Okay that's it, I need to sleep. Come on Clara, come on.

Think happy thoughts. Think of...ballet. Perfect pointe, steady spin, outstanding splits god I miss ballet. Hmm...Let's think of flying, with Pan. Above Neverland, the beautiful lights, the lost boys cheering and then probably falling to my doom-WHAT no no okay let's think of something else, hmm...let's try counting sheep.

What was that? Who was that? Oh my god someone is in my room. What to do what to do!!! Hide under the blanket? Pfft like that's going to help. No but it's worth a shot; maybe whoever it is will think I am asleep and leave me alone. Ya right it's Neverland, no one leaves you alone here.

I was asleep. How long? Probably fifteen minutes, it feels like it. God I wish I slept more-oh god footsteps

Closer

To my bed

Oh god. I can hear my own heartbeat. Please don't be a pirate, or a Kronin, or anyone. I hope I am imagining things. I put my hand over my mouth to prevent whoever it is from noticing my unsteady breaths. What is that? It sounds like something dripping...water? Sweat? Calm down Clara, calm down, just calm do-"AHHHH"

"CLARA CLARA Calm down, it's just me" Pan. He put his hands up in the air as surrender. I took in a big gulp between my heavy unsteady breaths. My hand was over chest feeling every single skipping heartbeat.

"Calm down" He said gently as he lowered his hands.

"My god Pan you gave me a fright" I said feeling sweat forming on my forehead and on the roots of my hair.

"Sorry"

"W-why were you sneaking up on me like that?" I said as I sat straight up on the bed feeling a headache coming along.
