*short chapter, sorry*

It didn't take long to find the fountain - the most difficult task was actually trying to find something to carry the water in. After minutes of searching for something suitable, I had to settle for a leaf which I cupped in my hands and had to carefully carry it back down to Peter. If I wasn't in such a hurry, I would have realized just how beautiful Neverland was. It reminded me of when I was younger and I used to run out into the woods to 'adventure,' Little did I know that in a few years, it would be my reality. But I didn't have time to be sentimental. My mind was on only one thing: Peter.

Seeing his lifeless body laying on the ground was the most painful sight in the world. Nothing in my life could compare. I had to fix this. Carefully kneeling down next to him, I gently pulled up his head and poured the water into his mouth, anxiously waiting for his eyes to open...

A minute passed. Then another. Nothing was happening, and I couldn't take it. "Peter for fucks sake, wake up!" I screamed, desperately trying to stop the tears from falling. For someone who didn't cry, I'd cried an awful lot over the past few days.

I jumped up from the ground and started to run. I don't know why, but I just felt the intense need to get away, and running felt like I was escaping the pain. My legs took me out of the clearing and into the depths of the forest surrounding me. I'd given up my chance at having a family to be with Peter, but he was dead, and not even the most powerful of magic could change that. This time, I truly had lost everything, and I had no one to blame but myself.

Or so I thought.

"I thought you would have learnt this by now - you can't run from me,"

I froze in my tracks. Could it be? Slowly, I turned around...

Peter grabbed my waist and pulled me in to kiss me. As our lips collided I felt a warm feeling rush around me. He was here.

He pulled away, giving me the chance to open my eyes. There he stood, the smug grin I'd grown to love in all it's glory.

"Y..you were dead," I stuttered, holding back tears of relief and happiness.

"And now I'm alive. Thanks to you. But why did you come back?"

"Don't you know?"

"You had a chance to have a family, but you threw it all away... for me?"

"Of course I did. I love you, Peter."

His lips formed a soft smile, and in that moment I knew that I didn't need a family. I could be perfectly happy with him in Neverland for the rest of time.

He gently pulled me in and wrapped his arms around me, and with my head rested on his chest, I knew exactly where I was destined to be. I knew I was finally home...
