Chapter 1: Arrival in Neverland

As the pirate ship sailed through the mermaid lagoon, Lilly's stomach churned with a mix of excitement and trepidation. She had been transported to this mystical place, Neverland, against her will, and everything about it felt off. The lush greenery, the vibrant flowers, and the sparkling water all seemed to mock her, making her feel like a prisoner in a fairy tale. Lilly's thoughts drifted back to her life in the Enchanted Forest, where she had been a strong and independent princess, beloved by her people. But that was before Rumplestiltskin's dark magic had torn her from her home and deposited her in this strange, new world. As the ship docked, Lilly spotted a group of boys, their hair messy, their clothes tattered, and their faces alight with mischief. They were laughing and joking, their eyes gleaming with a sense of freedom and joy that Lilly couldn't help but envy. One of the boys, a blond-haired, blue-eyed imp with a charming smile, caught her eye. He strode towards her, his long coat fluttering behind him, and bowed low. "Welcome, Princess," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up. And you are...?" Lilly's instincts told her to be wary, but she tried to play along. "I'm Lilly," she said, her voice firm. Peter's eyes sparkled with interest as he took in her regal bearing and her determined expression. "Ah, Lilly," he repeated, his voice low and husky. "I think you're going to like it here in Neverland." The Lost Boys closed in around her, their faces eager and adoring. Lilly felt a shiver run down her spine as they began to fawn over her, their words and actions making her feel like a prized possession. As Peter Pan's gaze lingered on her, Lilly sensed a darkness lurking beneath his charming facade. She tried to brush it off as mere paranoia, but the feeling persisted, making her wonder if she had made a terrible mistake by coming to Neverland. With a forced smile, Lilly tried to navigate the unfamiliar surroundings and the strange, new people who seemed so obsessed with her. Little did she know, she was about to become the center of their twisted universe, a universe where the lines between love and obsession were blurred, and the consequences of resistance would be dire. As the Lost Boys continued to swarm around her, Lilly felt a growing sense of unease. She knew she had to be careful, for in this strange and magical place, nothing was as it seemed, and the boy who never grew up might just be the most deadly foe of all.
