The Lost Warrior
I do not own Peter Pan
My own Peter Pan story where Neverland is no longer the place where you can escape growing up, but where growing up is part of survival and yes they do age in this Neverland, it's the pirates that are eternal. It's mostly based around PP 2003 (my personal fav.) but also has elements from Hook and the novel. I also have a few characters I made up, here both boys and girls can fall out of there prams, but boys are still the majority. I also like the stories where Peter has a sister, and I have one myself, so I added one here, she's a good character around Michael's age and Peter watches over her and the other Lost Boys and Tigerlily has a big role here as well; becomes very Peter/Wendy as it goes on, enjoy.
Chapter 1: Scars of the past
It all started on a dark stormy night at the Black Castle, a girl about 13 or 14 was hiding a small boy no more then 7 or 8. Her name was Rain, she was called that since she was born on a tropical rainy day, she was the oldest and as the oldest and it was her job to protect the others, who were only small children themselves. After hiding the boy, she faced the pirate captain who was simply known as Hook, she pulled out her sword and fought him, the boy watched as Hook disarmed her, and then knocking her on the castle floor he pulled out an iron hook which he plunged into her. The boy reacted pulling out his dagger and with a flash he chopped off Hook's right hand where he was holding his iron hook; the hand fell to a giant crocodile which was swimming by.
Hook screamed and looked at the small boy; his eyes started glowing red and he pulled out his sword with his left hand and was about to kill the boy, when he heard the sound of Indians approaching. His crew pulled him away "another time boy" the pirate captain yelled.
The small boy named Peter looked at the wounded girl, "I'm so sorry Rain, please forgive me, I didn't mean to go out by myself." The girl smiled at him, she took his hand and his body started to glow, "protect them Peter, as I protected you" she closed her eyes, "Rain, Rain" Peter cried.
London years later
"So the brave Cinderella found herself hopelessly surrounded by Pirates" said Wendy excitedly.
Wendy loved to entertain her brothers with stories, stories of adventures and romance and deep down she yearned to have an adventure of her own. Little did she know she had another listener right outside her window, a boy about 13 who loved her stories, for him they were a release from the day to day trials of Neverland.
Their dog/nurse Nana noticed the boy and started barking at the window, he took off in a flash. Wendy and her brothers John and Michael headed to the window but didn't see anyone, Wendy looked up and saw what looked liked a glowing star.
Later on the Darling family all had a family night and they were entertaining guests, one was there aunt Millicent, the other was a woman who was a friend of their mother Mary. Mary played on the piano and their father George along with their children sang. The young woman Lillian, enjoyed the show.
"That was beautiful" she said
"I'm glad you enjoyed it" said George
"What else could we do" asked Mary
"Why doesn't Wendy tell us a story" said John
"Oh John, I'm sure she doesn't want to hear a silly story" said Millicent
"Exactly I would love to hear a story" Lillian responded
Wendy was about to tell the story of Snow White, when Millicent interrupted "I dare say Wendy, you are developing a woman's chin."
Wendy was confused, Millicent asked her to step forward so she could appraise her, Wendy did but she couldn't keep herself from giggling.
Millicent was telling all the grown ups that Wendy was growing up and that she should learn to be a proper lady, she should spend more time with her and less time with her brothers. Mary asked Lillith what she thought "I think children should be children for as long as they can" replied Lillian
"Oh" said Millicent, "certainly you must think that they should grow up at some time"
"Of course, but I believe that children are very precious and you should cherish them for as long as you can"
"Didn't you have a child" asked Mary
"Yes, I had two, a little boy and a baby girl, they were lost during the boat sinking"
"Oh my, I'm dreadfully sorry" said George
"Thank you for the lovely evening" Lillian said "but I believe its time for me to go home"
As she got up she walked passed Wendy, John and Michael who were listening from the stair case, she smiled when she saw the three, "have you three been spying" she asked with a smile.
"Were sorry" said Wendy
"It's quite all right, I won't tell anyone" Lillian said with a smile
"Were sorry about your children" John said
"You must miss them" Micheal said
"I do, but just between us, I can't help feeling that they are still alive somewhere"
"How do you know" asked Wendy
"Mother Intuition" replied Lillian
Lillian looked at Wendy "my son, he would be about your age now" she said picking up her coat.
