Rose stared down at the swirling gray water,wincing as the ocean roared below her. She knew this cliff well. She came here often when the boys became too much to handle, and she needed some private time. This time however the Island sensed that something dangerous was about to occur, and it was throwing quite the hissy fit.
Rose smiled at the thought of Neverland trying to curb her decision. How sweet of it to dote on her that way. She loved Neverland more than a person would love a home. It was like a Mother to her. It fed her, clothed her, gave her shelter, and never abandoned her like her own mother had. She was definitely going to miss her Mother Island.
Before she could take a deep breath and jump the wind caught her long red hair whipping it around her face. She knew Neverland was going to put up a fight, but she had made up her mind. Even pushing past the guilt she felt, she knew this was the right thing to do. Rose had fought Hook once before and was willing to do it again. Especially when Peter was involved.
She knew now that she loved him. Her body wanted to cringe every time she had the thought, but her heart felt differently. But Peter didn't love her; he had Wendy now. As much as it pained Rose to think so Wendy was very beautiful, and she knew Peter thought so also.
Wendy had long golden hair and blue eyes like the sea. She walked with a grace and elegance that Rose knew she could never master. Peter could never admire Rose's wild red hair and sun freckled face, and he most certainly could not love a girl who acted as much like a boy as he did.
She scanned the water looking for the green scaly back of Neverland's beast. She would lead that crocodile to Hook's ship even if it killed her, and she was certain that it would. It wouldn't matter much anyway, Peter had Wendy and the Lost Boys to take care of him.
She spotted the croc about a hundred yards away. Taking a deep breath she took one last glance at the frothy, frigid water before she ran and dove off the cliff, thankful Neverland hadn't tried to stop her. She smiled as she fell thinking of Peter's proud face when he discovered her plan.
