Behind the Shadow

Chapter One

BEFORE YOU START READING:
Isabella's name was originally Karla. So I must of forgot some parts where it says Karla instead of Isabella. I won't be hurt, but please tell me in a nice way. Thanks(:

"Isabella, make sure you wash the dishes alright?" My sister Steph says as she gets ready.

"Where you going?" I ask.

"None of your business. Parents are out, and me and Evelyn are in charge." She smiles. Evelyn then comes to the living room.

"Me, Steph and Rose are leaving to eat. You're staying here because you haven't done your chores."

I stand up. "What?! That's because my bike broke halfway here! If you would have-"

"Just. Do. It." Rose says.

"But-"

They all leave and I huff to do the dishes.

I'm tired of them. Everyone. I feel like that one girl Cinderella. But of corse, magic isn't real. Nothing is real in fairytale stories.

I finished my chores, and looked at the clock.
"9:35." I groan. "I'm starving damn it."

I head to the kitchen and made myself food. I look up and see my reflection from my microwave.

My wavy brunette hair kinda messy from doing chores, my eyes brown and tired. Ugh
I heard something moving in my room. Quickly, I grabbed a knife, and went in my room.

"Who's there! If it's you girls, it's not funny! I have a knife." I walk in and there's nothing. My bookshelf is broken, and my books have fallen. Except one.

"Neverland? Why didn't you fall off?" I say to myself out loud. I grab it, and began to read parts of the book. I smile once I see Peter Pan.

"I'd love to meet you." I smile. I turn the page to see his shadow. Scary, but interesting. I sat on my bed and read again.

If you believe, then it will set you free.

What will beset free? I shake my head and walked outside to hear my dog barking.

"What? What is it girl?"

She barks louder, then runs off as if she's running after something.

"No! Don't jump over the fence! Mona! Come back!!" I shout. I only have my pjs on damn it. But I run after her anyway.

She then runs into someone's backyard. Hopefully this person isn't home..

Mona then stops and stares up to the sky.

"Mona, bad girl!" I held to her. "I don't want to lose you girl." I kiss her nose, then wind hits through me.
Crap it's cold.

Mona barks up.
I look up to see something. A figure that's too far up to know what it was. I squint. What is that?

Say it...

Something whispered. Say what?
The Stars shimmered. The wind began to hit hard, clouds headed over.

Say it!

"Say what!" I shout and held myself for warmth. The figure flew closer to me. Soon I noticed it looked familiar.
But then Mona ran away.
"No! Mona come back!" I followed her but something held onto my legs making me fall.
I turned to see flamed eyes. A black shadow holding onto me. I screamed in fear.

"Leave me alone!" I yell. I couldn't grab him, kick him. He was only a shadow.
I ran back to my home and into my room. I locked my windows and door.

Then the glass shaders. The shadow comes in.

Do you believe.

He whispers and it echoes around me.

"Leave me be!" I shout. I take a candle and it backs away. I walk towards it, and it was working.

But I wasn't paying any attention, and slipped out my window. But I catches me before I fell to my death.

The shadow? Neverland. PETER PAN? It made sense now!
The shadow sets me down.
Closed my eyes and said, "I believe."

It reached out its hand to me, and I grabbed it.

Then you shall be free.

He pulls me up into the sky, and flys to the star that was shining the brightest. The second star to the right of the North Star.
We got closer, and dark shining magic surrounded us.
Then, I blacked out.
