Chapter One: Scarlet Letters
The night was cold, pouring with rain and hard rocks of hail falling from the pitch black sky. As thunder banged and lightning flashed, a teenage girl at the age of fourteen sat quietly in the darkness of her living room with a letter in her hand.
Dear Scarlet,
My beautiful Scarlet. Here is the last letter that I will ever write, and I hope that you and Danny will understand the fate I have come across. The fate of Death. I love you Scarlet, and even when I'm gone and you are grieving, I will still love you. It will seem as if your whole world is falling apart, but its not, and even if it does, you'll find away to put it back together with me by your side. please remember that I am always with you and tell him that I am sorry, and wont be their for his seventh birthday.
From: Your guardian Angel and Loving Father
Suddenly, her whole world was falling apart. She began to lose air faster than any normal person should. She closed her dark blue eyes as tight as she could, wishing that it would all go away, but even wishing wouldn't bring him back, not now, not ever.
"Scarlet..?" A little boy came from the shadows, small and innocent.
"Danny, what are you doing up so late? It 3:00 o'clock in the morning." Scarlett pushed away the tears with a brave smile. She faced her 6 year old brother with the best smile she could manage, but still, it wasn't enough.
"I had a bad dream that Daddy wasn't coming back... That he died in the war..." Scarlet looked away, knowing that she would have to tell him some day in some way.
"Danny... I have to tell you something..." Scarlet looked down at Danny with a breaking heart. "Daddy is going to be gone longer than accepted. But he wanted me to tell you that he loves you very much and that he's always with us, even though he's far away." Danny smiled as Scarlet sat there in painful silence. He deserved to know the truth, but she couldn't bring her self to tell him that their father was dead.
"I know that silly!" He laughed, running over to his sister and jumping into her lap. "He's just been gone for a long time, and with Mommy in Japan, its like we're alone." Scarlet's eyes where glued to his, the same brown eyes as her father.
Danny was only six, but looking at him was like looking at their father in different times. It was amazing how much they resembled each other, even there attitudes where the same. Childish, yet mature. Danny's eyes where filled with pure love and innocents, how could she tell him that his roll-model was dead? Danny kept smiling, thinking about how there Mom would react if there Dad went to Japan to see her.
"Hey Scarlet, do you think Daddy went to go see Mom in Japan?" He asked as Scarlet began to laugh.
"What makes you think he's in Japan?" She questioned as Danny stood up, facing her with arms in the air.
"Think about it CC! Daddy's been gone for a whole year! How could he live without seeing Mommy's beautiful eyes! He must be in Japan!" He said as Scarlet just smiled. Ever since Danny was two and was able to speak simple words, he called Scarlet CC, only because it was simpler to say. With a smile, Scarlet stood back up and grabbed her little brother, flipping over her shoulder and heading up the stairs.
"Whoa!" Danny laughed, remembering how his Daddy would carry him up the stairs like Scarlet did, over his shoulder. "Put me down you silly goose!" Danny loved to call her silly and add something after that, but CC didn't seem to mind, in a way, she actually liked it.
Scarlet reached the top of the stairs and put him down. Danny ran into his room while Scarlet fallowed. "Come on, come on! You have to read me a story!" He begged while grabbing his sisters hand and dragging her along.
"Okay, okay, calm down." Scarlet laughed as Danny jumped onto the bed and held up his favorite story of all time, 'Peter Pan Returns to never land.'
"I should have known" She said while grabbing the book and letting Danny sit in her lap.
"It was late one misty evening and Hook was sure that once again he'd found Peter Pans hideout. Hook and his blood thirsty crew went ashore, leaving the JollyRoger unguarded, and that's when Peter Pan arrived! He and the lost boys slipped aboard and there they found it- Hook's remarkable treasure! Peter told the Lost Boys they'd hide it and Hook would have to hunt them down to get it back! It was all a great game for Peter and the boys. And then, from out of the mist, he was there- the evil Captain Hook! A fierce and ferocious sword fight was fast underway and Peter was down for the count.
"Give up, boy!" Capten Hook had peter at sword point, but never would Peter give in, not to him.
"Never!" He shouted, using his feet to trip Captin Hook into falling off the ship.
Splash! And at that moment, a shimmering magic covered the ship. It was Tinker Bell! And the JollyRoger lifted into the sky as Peter and the boys escaped with the treasure.
"You've not seen the end of me, Peter Pan! I'll get you for this, if it's the last thing I do!" So you see, Danny, Hook will never win... not as long as there's faith, trust and pixie dust."
Danny closed his eyes and yawned, stretching his arms into the air and reaching for the sky, slowly drifting into a deep sleep.
