This is my first ever Peter Pan fan fiction. It will be set after the 2003 movie, Peter Pan. Be gentle, and review please. (^_^)
Disclaimer: I don't own Peter Pan.
It's been a long time since her adventures in Neverland, almost four years to be exact. Wendy now stood tall and was almost sixteen, a week away from her birthday. But for the past few days something has happen to the world. Snow has covered the land, and all of London was in panic. Snow storms to flurries, everything was covered. But alas, people still moved on to work around the snow in what was to be claimed as the hottest summer ever. These changes were made things difficult. Back when the lost boys came to live with the Darlings the only real changes were the add-ons to the home. More rooms for the boys and the nursery was turned into Wendy's room. The lost boys and her two brothers would still gather in her room for story time every night. It was something they all refused to let go.
The night was starting to get late as the boys and Wendy all gathered in Wendy's room. She raged on with stories and danced around the room while acting fights with the boys. "Hook raised his right hand and brought it down quick. Aiming for the heart of Peter Pan in hopes as to finally kill the boy who could fly. But alas, Hook's hook was stopped as peter's blade defended his life. 'You'll never defeat me Hook!' peter called out as he pushed the evil pirate away. Hook could only growl at his failure to kill Peter. "I'll get you Peter Pan! It it's the last thing I do!' Hook called out as Peter flew away laughing."
"Tell us another Wendy!" the boys cried out. But sadly as Wendy looked to the time, she knew story time was over. "Sorry Michael, but it's time for bed." she said softly. She motioned for the boys to exit the room, if she continued on, they would all get in trouble for staying up late. Even with the snow storms in summer they still had a curfew. "Please!" John cried out. Wendy frowned a little, "You know better, come on now." she finally got the boys out of her room and shut the door. They were indeed a handful, but she loved them all. She wished that she could stay up late and they could all tell stories of Neverland. But the world was growing up, and so were they.
Wendy made her way to the window and looked out at the night sky. She sighed seeing the dark clouds had taken over the stars and moon. Inside she already knew what was to be expected of her. Once sixteen she would be engaged to someone. She would move out of her home and start a new chapter to her life. Her eyes wondered the sky, searching for the Neverland star, Peter or even Tinkerbell. She paused as clouds moved away as if answering her wishes to see the stars.
There it was, the second star to the right. She smiled. She closed her eyes and made a wish. "I wish I may, I wish I might, let me see Peter tonight." She opened her eyes and looked back to the Never land star. But her attention was brought to the star on the left. Normally the star to the right would shine brighter then the left one. But the left one was brighter tonight... And it was getting brighter by the second. Wendy opened her window to get a better look. A few seconds after the star t the left suddenly went out. Wendy held her breath as she didn't understand what had just happen. She looked back to Neverland still with a small frown on her face. "Please be safe Peter." she whispered as she sat down by the window. Something was going on, not with just the crazy weather, but now with the left star. Maybe something was going on in Neverland too. If only she could see Peter once more, maybe even just one more adventure in Neverland before she would have to grow up. Something to tell her that everything will be ok.
The next thing she knew she had drifted off to sleep. Countless of times would she fall asleep by the open or closed window. She would always feel safe by the window, she thought Peter was always there watching over her. As the clouds cleared the sky, the moon light shined down on her as she slept. A single cloud broke off and slowly rolled it's way through the sky right for the moon. It's thick body covered the moon completely in silence. For a good minute London was covered in pure darkness. When the cloud disappeared and the light came back, a shadow stood over Wendy. A figure of a person loomed into the room. The figure knelled down on the window sill looking over Wendy's sleeping figure. The girl was indeed turning into a very pretty young woman. Her long light brown hair graced her shoulders to her lower back, and her skin was a light peach color that was soft at the touch.
A pair of shocking blue eyes studied her further. Gracing the back of his fingers against her arm, he felt her skin. He let his hand trail up her arm and to her hair, it too was soft. He retracted his hand quickly when Wendy stirred in her sleep. Wendy slowly started to wake up, she pulled her arm off the window sill and brought a hand to her eyes. She rubbed them gently before opening them. The first thing she noticed was a shadow of someone standing in her window. She was about to ignore it but turned quickly knowing that if someone was there it would be Peter. This was not the first time she would wake up to a shadow, but those other times were only her imagination.
When she turned around she didn't see anything. The shadow was gone and of course she let her mind play games on her once more. She let out a deep awaited sigh. Reaching out she closed the window gently, but never locked it. "Waiting for someone?" a voice came from inside the room. Wendy turned with a jolt. Her eyes were quick to meet with blue ones not too far from her. A young boy or man sat in a chair by her small tea table off in the corner. She squinted her eyes trying to get a better look at the person. The shadows covered him well, but his pale skin and his eyes stood out. For the most part she could tell it was a boy just by the sound of his voice. She could also tell that it wasn't Peter.
"Who are you?" she asked as she took a step back. "What are you doing in my room?" a small chuckle came from the person in the corner. "Were you expecting someone else?" he asked, his British accent was strong and sounded like it was from an older time period. He stood up and started to make his way into the light. A young man around her age took hold of the moon light. He was a bit taller then her. His skin pale as the snow, his eyes blue, and his clothes... He wore a long black pirate coat that stopped just below his knees and a pair of black bulky pirate boots. In his right hand was a black beaten up top hat with a red band on it. His hair was blacker than the deep nothingness in the sky, short but long enough for it to fall into his eyes. "My name is Shin." he said tilting his head as his eyes looked over Wendy carefully. Wendy reached out and picked up one of the wooden swords she used during story time. "What do you want?" Wendy demanded.
The only person to ever come through her window was Peter, anyone else she could only expect them to harm her. She wasn't stupid and would not let a young face catch her off guard. Shin did not look amused by her reaction. In fact he looked more so annoyed, "It's not what I want." he stated bitterly. "I'm here to find someone, and bring them to Neverland by request." "Neverland?" Wendy questioned. Shin's shoulders dropped as he rolled his eyes. "If you never heard of the place then you are not the one I'm looking for." He said as he moved about the room. He looked to his hands and started to count on his fingers. Wendy watched him curiously. "Who are you looking for?" she asked.
Shin turned back to Wendy a little angered, he placed his top hat upon his head neatly. "A girl named Wendy Darling. I was told I could find her here." Shin moved closer to her, mostly his eyes set on the window. Wendy took in a small breath and stepped back as he got closer. The wooden sword brought up in a defense mode. "Calm down girl. I wont hurt you, I'm sure I just miss counted houses." he said opening the window. Wendy blinked, he apparently didn't know that Wendy was... Well Wendy. The person he was looking for. "Who sent you?" she started to lower the wooden sword. "That doesn't concern you." He said as he climbed up to the window sill. Wendy thought for a moment as she watched him. Her eyes trailed to the sword before she lowered it completely. Just as Shin was about to leave through the window she reached out and took hold of the bottom of his coat. "Wait." She looked up at him. His eyes once again locked with hers. "I'm Wendy... Wendy Darling." she admitted. Something she wasn't sure of, but did so.
Shin knelled down once more now eye level with Wendy, "Is that so?" he asked a bit coldly. "Yes... Now who sent you? Was it Peter?" she asked. Her voice sounding a little desperate for a yes answer. If Peter sent him and did not come himself, then something was wrong. She had a small gut feeling that something terrible was going to happen. Shin smirked, "If he has a hook for a right hand than you are the winner." Wendy's eyes went wide. Hook was behind this.
Wendy pulled back the wooden sword and swung with all her might. Smacking Shin across the face and knocking his hat off his head. "Stay away from me!" she called out as she went to run deeper into her room. Shin held the left side of his face where Wendy made contact, as his eyes narrowed and followed her. Before she could even get three feet away from the window Shin grabbed her arm. His grip was strong but softened by the now showing black finger-less gloves he had on. "If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I don't. Play. Games." Shin stated his words very clear as he pulled her closer to him.
"Now, someone has been waiting to see you my dear. And if you must know more about me, you should know that I always keep my word." Shin pulled Wendy closer to him even more, closing the gap between their bodies. He reached down picking up his hat once more, placing it on top of his head. He than wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her out the window. Wendy closed her eyes tightly as she screamed feeling the fast cold air all around her. Shin's arms wrapped tightly around her body and held her even closer. She slowly opened her eyes after a few moments, she thought they would hit the snow below, but upon opening her eyes she saw London fading away. They were flying... But only Peter knew how to fly. "You can fly?" she asked a bit shocked. Shin snickered a bit at her words. "Lets not get ahead of ourselves." Shin stated. She could feel the wind brush harder against her skin as they picked up speed.
The next thing she knew, they were high above London heading for the stars. The left star was still missing, but she could always find Neverland. "Hold on." Shin whispered into her ear. The lights around them took over the sky, the door to Neverland! She thought she would never see the place again, but here she was, heading back faster than the speed of light. The light finally broke and Neverland came into view. It was as beautiful as ever. The sun was warm and the sky held a few clouds. She could pin point all the land markers, but one stood out. The Jolly Roger. Captain Hook's ship, the place she was being taken to. "Let me go!" Wendy cried out as she started to struggle in Shin's hold.
"Really?!" Shin sounded angered again as his grip tightened even more. "We are almost there girl." his hand slipped and Wendy fell from his grip. She started to free fall towards the waters below. She might have a chance if she could only make it too the water. But luck was not on her side as Shin zipped down after her grabbing her hands, stopping her fall. "I thought I told you that I don't play games." Shin stated. "You also said that you keep your word too." Wendy stated angerly. "And I for one, am not letting you take me to Captain Hook. That is 'my' word." she tried once more to pull away from Shin. Not having any luck she started to call out. "Peter! Peter!" her screams became louder and loud as Shin struggled to still keep his grip on her.
"You want to be this difficult, then fine! Have it your way." Shin let go of her, letting her fall once more. Instead of hitting water she hit wood. She had landed on the Jolly Roger's deck. She sat up rubbing her side as that's where she hit the hardest. She was only thankful that she wasn't dropped from too far up. It that were the case things would of ended up badly for her. She looked around to see Captain Hooks crew now surrounding her. She gulped at the mere sight of them. They all looked the same, just as she had remembered. But they had a small questioning look in their eyes. Some seemed to not even know who she was.
"Is this the girl?" Shin asked as he floated down next to her. He stood about a foot away from Wendy with his arms crossed over his chest. As the pirates stepped aside a tall man came forth. His hair long curly and black, and his eyes pierced blue with a hint of grey. He curled his black mustache with his left hand, while his right was tucked away under his long red pirate coat. The man knew how to dress for a pirate, even one who lived in Never land. Following close behind him was a short chubby man. His hair white and his nose stood out like a sore thumb. "I believe it is." Hook pulled out his right hand to reveal his all famous hook. He took a few more steps forward and leaned down to meet Wendy eye to eye. "It's been a while." he said coldly.
Shin stepped in between Hook and Wendy, "Aren't you forgetting something?" Shin had a strict tone to his voice. One that sounded like it would scare off crocks. Hook stood up tall and looked Shin over, "Yes, your payment." Hook smirked a little as he and Shin started to stare one another down. "Mr. Smee." Hook called for the chubby short man, yet he still held his eyes upon Shin. "Why don't you get Mr. Blackwood's the item we promised?" Smee smirked in his own way as he nodded, "Right away Captain." He ran off to the Captain's quarters and returned quickly with something under a black cloth. He handed it slowly to Hook's left hand. Hook held up the item and watched as Shin's eyes followed it. "As I promised... Here is your Bellfire." Smee took away the black cloth to reveal a glass jar with a red pixie inside.
She had long flowing black hair, and skin like Shin's. Her eyes were a blood red that matched her wings and clothing. Most of it was red, but a small hint of black lace or patches in random spots. Shin looked at the jar and than back to Hook, "Let her out." Shin once again held his ground as he carefully watched the pirate. Hook smiled, "You make it sound like I'm not a man of my word." Hook handed the jar back to Smee who opened it. The pixie known as Bellfire zipped out of the jar and to Shin's coat. There she hid inside it away from all eyes. "All pirates are the same Captain. I've been around them long enough to know that you all have tricks up your sleeves and then some." Hook smiled even bigger. "I can assure you that I 'am' a man, no, pirate of his word." Hook bowed a little towards Shin.
"He's lying!" Wendy called out. One of Hooks crew members took hold of Wendy and brought her to her feet. "Quiet girl." Hook and Shin both turned their attention towards Wendy. "There... You have your girl, now I shall be off." Shin went to take a step towards the side of the ship but but was pulled back by the neck of his coat. Hook used his hook to snag the boy's coat, "Are you sure you want to leave right away?" he asked. "I mean you did do a lot of the work, why not stay for the show?" Shin narrowed his eyes at Hook and looked over to Wendy who was struggling against the Pirate's grip. "Besides i have another surprise for you." Shin turned back to Hook quickly. He knew something was up, all pirates were indeed the same. But before he could even breath the sound of metal clicking together was heard. He looked down to see shackles cuffed to his wrists, followed by a thick and heavy chain held by four of the strongest looking men on the ship.
Shin's breathing feel heavy as anger filled his mind. "I knew it..." Shin kept his eyes to Hook. "You lied!" he yelled as he went to step closer to Hook, but was pulled back hard by the pirates holding his chain. "I didn't lie, I said i would return your little Bellfire. I said nothing about letting you go." Hook laughed as the four pirates pulled once more on Shin's chains, and soon grabbing his arms pulling him back away from Hook. "I swear you wont get away with this." Hook laughed even more as Shin was ruffle dragged away down to the bottom hull of the ship. Wendy watched in horror as the events before her unfolded. At first she was surprised to see the pixie, but she felt a bit bad for Shin in a way. He went to kidnap her to get his friend back. She thought for a moment that Shin was working for or with Hook, but now she knew that he was being played by Hook. It was no surprise when Hook had Shin shackled and than taken away.
"Mr. Smee!" Hook called out. "Yes Captain?" Smee replied quickly. "Why don't you help make Miss Wendy here feel at home?" Hook turned back to Wendy. That creepy evil smile crossed his lips as his blueish grey eyes were now fixated on her. She could feel the fear building up inside. He had to have some kind of evil plan in mind, but the one thing that really crossed her mind... Was Peter... Why hadn't she seen him yet? Where was he? She started to feel very scared as Smee and other pirates came closer to her. She squeezed her eyes tightly and screamed as loud as she could, "PETER!"
She wasn't sure if Peter was still alive, or even if he would hear her cries for help. She only knew that she was in grave danger, far away from home, and all alone.
