“Until Neverland.” Carlo reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lighter, flicking it on till a yellow flame dances from it.

“No,” I whisper, a hand reaching by way of the bars, desperately attempting to achieve for it. Nevertheless it’s no good, he’s too distant.

“You all the time did reside in a fairy story.”

With that, Carlo lights the nook of the journal on hearth, burning all my letters from Puck with it.

“Daddy,” I whisper by way of my tears, feeling the final of my struggle and my soul disappearing from my physique.

“Fairy tales aren’t actual, and your life, Bonnie Rhivers, has all the time been the furthest factor away from one. There isn’t any Neverland. There isn’t any fortunately ever after. You get a disappointing, empty life that ends in nothing however darkness. Welcome to Hell, Bonnie.”

He nods at two of his males, who open the gates and maintain me by the arms. They seal my mouth shut and tie my arms collectively roughly behind my again, and I hunch to my knees on the ground, watching Puck’s phrases burn into ashes on the bottom.

By blurry eyes, I watch Carlo pull out his gun and goal it instantly at me.

Recollections of my life flash earlier than my eyes. My brother, Dax, Maria, even my mum.

And Puck.

My life has by no means been grand or beautiful. Nevertheless it has been a life I’m pleased with. It’s been a life I’m grateful for. As a result of though that is my finish, I obtained to know what dwelling actually felt like. I obtained to know the way it felt to be beloved and cherished and adored.

I obtained to know the way it feels to be in a fairy story.

I’m not a Misplaced Boy anymore. I turned Wendy Darling. And Puck was my Peter.

The sound of the gun firing is the very last thing I hear as I clutch my abdomen and disappear right into a void of darkness.

And my final thought, which sends me away in peace, was though I do know I’ll by no means see them once more.

I’ll by no means see King once more.

I’ll by no means see Dax once more.

I’ll by no means see Maria once more.

And I’ll by no means see Puck once more.

I do know for positive that I might be with them sooner or later quickly.

In Neverland.

Iwake up in a concrete field. Three gray partitions, and on the opposite facet to make up the sq., is a steel barred gate, sealing me inside.

I hear individuals speaking, steel bars clanging, and after stepping near the gate, I go searching to see no less than three flights of the identical factor over and over.

Simply rows and rows of cells, occupied by males in gray jumpsuits.

In my cell is a mattress on the ground and a bathroom bowl, with a gray jumpsuit and towel resting on the mattress.

What the fuck?

For hours, I don’t see anybody however for the individuals of their cells. I don’t converse to them, they usually, partially, appear to disregard me. I don’t know the place I’m, however I’m retaining my playing cards near my chest for now.

The place the hell am I, and what has occurred to Bonnie and King?

I spend my day torturing myself with ideas of Bonnie useless and King combating his means out of Carlo’s males’s arms, when hours later, there is a commotion exterior of my gate.

There’s a dozen or so males strolling up the flight of stairs and in direction of my cell, and over one in all their arms, I spot King draped limply over a shoulder. Is he alive?
