      Faery tales  are not just for children.

      Sometimes it is how we express our nightmares.

      Chapter one

      Dear readers,

      I am sorry to say that my grandmother, Wendy Darling, cannot expand upon her story. A week ago, she was watching the sunset over the docks as was her habit. She wanted this house simply for its view of the docks. She had given the family home to Mother on her wedding day sixty years ago. She claimed it had far too little good memories for her. Upon her death, I inherited this home along with everything in it, whether good or evil.

      From her window, she saw the ghost ship, as they are calling it. The broken-down ship’s prow was filled with the heads of ten children. The oldest-appearing head was embedded with a blood-coated steel hook. None of the ten heads have yet been identified. Due to the horror of the situation, it has been difficult to find any information about the ship at all. The ship had sailed into the harbor unmanned and had come to a perfect stop at the dock. The ship’s name, Queen’s Gambit¸ had been gouged until it was barely legible. Vengeance had been painted crookedly above it, the red paint flaking in spots. Since there is no crew aboard, officially many questions remain. I have heard rumors about several journals being found aboard. I hope to be able to read them and perhaps finish this story.

      Wendy seems to have simply lain down in her bed and died. When I found her the next morning, she had the most serene smile I have ever seen on her face. I doubt she saw which heads were on the ship.  Perhaps she didn't need to. She seems to have been happy just to see the ship.

      I have decided to publish her story, the truth of it...to give her spirit the rest it deserves. Though as it was only written in her diaries, I wonder if she ever meant to tell all of it—her story, Hook's story, and the truth of Peter Pan and his Neverland. I do this with dread in my heart for the issues in my family it may cause. I read what she wrote and am devastated by the story she told. My mother has always written Grandmother's warnings off as the ranting of a disturbed mind. I have always felt there was more truth in what my grandmother said than what she wrote. Her story of Peter Pan and the lost boys is quite well known by now.  I am aware of the differences in this story and the one told before. That is due to the fact that Peter Pan wrote the original. If you do know it, be forewarned, this is not that tale of fun and joy.

      I remember her warnings about Peter and the lost boys and the panic in her voice when she would tell me to avoid them. Still as the evil legacy of Peter Pan seems to be at an end, I cannot deny my grandmother her peace. I cannot deny my conscience either, in case I am wrong.

      Sincerely,

      Moira Anne Darling

      Everything that has been said up until now about Peter Pan and the lost boys was a lie. My grandmother spoke the truth in her diaries, where no one could see. I am going to share what I can from her diaries and the journals of Captain Hook that she owned. I am not going to
