When Wendy Darling went to bed in her rather big house she hardly expected to be woken up less then two hours later to a burning house. But that was what awaited her as she climbed into her bed that unfortunate night had started out like most nights, Wendy telling her two younger brothers James aged 10 and Micheal aged 4 a harrowing story of the evil Captain Hook with his glistening hook for a hand and small red eyes that darted around a room as if there was something to be hidden. Her brothers loved Wendy's stories and couldn't imagine a night without them. But that night was to be their last , no not because of the fire but because it was the last night Wendy was to share a room with her brothers. Her mother and father believed that when a young lady turned thirteen she should begin to have more privacy and not spend so much time horsing around and instead spend her time learning the manners that was expected of her when she grew up.

Wendy felt a sort of sadness as she felt sleepy and drifted off to sleep. She had grown up here in this room and had many memories, she remembered the arrival of her brother James and how he used to cry softly at night as a baby and she slept with him to soothe him or how when Micheal came he used to climb out of his crib and look out at the stars and then would fall asleep on the floor not to be awakened until later in the morning. Yes she had many memories Wendy thought as she fell asleep James dull snores fading into the darkness.

It was around ten at night when Wendy woke up to loud cries of jolted up in her bed and looked around. james and micheal were on the same bed screaming for help . Flames licked the edges of their bed as Wendy realized her house was on fire . the floorboards creaked under James's bed . "Help Help Wendy help us ! they wailed Wendy carefully got off her bed and took small steps toward them. The flame grew higher and she jumped back. Then the floor gave way and james and Micheal plummeted into the already huge flame below. "Wennndyyyyy!" they screamed their eyes filled with terror and then they were gone.
