you seem to turn into everyday words. peter pan. peter/wendy. pg-13. 1/1.
Being lost cannot be everything, being lost is only the beginning of being found.
And she, she cannot end at the beginning itself.

There are no lost girls.
It is a m-y-s-t-e-r-y. Wendy spells out words in her head, rolls them over around her tongue, like mama used to when Wendy was very little and Michael wasn't even old enough to have been born.
She does not ask Peter why. Somehow, she does not want Peter to think of other lost girls.
This is a mystery too.
-
There is blood on her underthings and Wendy does not remember cutting herself anywhere. But she keeps bleeding and maybe she will die. Nobody ever dies in Neverland, though, that would be blasphemy. But there are no gods in Neverland, so there can be no blasphemy. Her stomach hurts a lot.
Peter looks at her, worried, and she is inexplicably coloring up, there is still blood enough in her body for that, "Wendy Darling, are you going to die? Please don't die."
NO BUT ZOE I'M REALLY EMOTIONAL BECAUSE I WAS SO HAPPY AND THE CAST ARE LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT I'VE EVER SEEN AND I THOUGHT WE'D ALL BE TOGETHER FOREVER AND NOTHING WOULD EVER CHANGE AND THEN BOOM FOUR DAYS LATER ONE OF THE FAMILY IS DEAD AND ONE IS SAILING ROUND THE WORLD. IT'S JUST A LOT TO PROCESS.
but now I have Abed and Jeff/Annie so obviously things have changed (AND TROY AND BRITTA AND SHIRLEY AND EVEN PIERCE AND CHANG AND THE DEAN OK. I AM ACTUALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW. WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE NOW? i'm thinking parks and recs.)
(There is blood on the stone ledge she used to sit on) (and blood on her bed) (and blood on her clothes) (and blood rushes to her face, too fast, much too fast when Peter gets her a wildflower to pin to her hair) (it is a bloodless white.)
This. Simply this. Peter was always so deliciously creepy and I love writing that portrays that.
i can't even begin to put my love for this into coherent thought but oh god it made my heart ache and remember how terrible/wonderful hormones can be and the writing is so lovely i could just cry. The closing paragraph SLAYED me and I just can't get over the 'there are no lost girls' idea this is so good this is so good this is so good.
there are no lost girls in Neverland because they leave traces of blood everywhere, like breadcrumbs, like a trail, and they are the easiest to follow.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this line!! Totally apropos. The ideas here are just delicious.

She does not die.
I am glad, Peter says, simply.
