Peter Pan and the Lost Girl

Chapter One

Wendy Darling

Wendy Darling flew over the city of London, laughing as the wind rushed in her face and tugged at her blue nightgown. Quickly she soared passing the tall buildings and apartment homes. She looked down and saw Nana barking up at her as she flew above their own home. She saw John and Michael laughing through her bedroom window and her parents sitting and talking quietly in the foyer. She suddenly felt a sharp pang in her heart and just wanted to go back home and speak to them. She tried flying towards them, but felt a tug on her arm. She looked to see what was stopping her and ended up looking straight into the warm and bright eyes of a flying boy. He had tousled auburn hair and his eyes were a pale green. He was dressed oddly for an average London citizen, and he even had a dagger strapped to his side.

Her heart longed to be with John and Michael, but she couldn't look away from this beautiful stranger. There was something about the look in his eyes that made her heart stop, that made her crave more of that feeling. She saw his gaze flicker to her lips and all thoughts of John and Michael went away. She heard her heart beating loudly and wondered if he could hear it too. Slowly he started to lean in, his eyes closed, and she mimicked this action. And right when his lips grazed hers in the slightest bit, she woke up.

"Wendy, honey. It's time for you to wake up." Mrs. Darling said softly. "I'm sorry but you have lessons today and I can't let you sleep in."

Wendy groaned, upset that her mother had stopped her from kissing the flying boy. "I don't want to." It was bad enough that her mom had woken her up from a lovely dream, but now she had to go to her piano lessons.

She had to admit that she was rather good at piano, but she never liked it. She never fancied the idea of being a proper lady, because, in her opinion, they were rather dull. She had always been fascinated with adventure and mystery, and it seemed that a proper lady never had much time for that.

"I won't ask you again. Get up," Mrs. Darling said sternly. Wendy didn't move. She responded to Wendy's reaction saying, "Fine. Madame Serevônté can wake you up."

That got Wendy moving.

Madame Serevônté was the meanest, most foul creature there was. She just so happened to be Wendy's piano instructor also. Whenever Wendy would play a wrong note, Madame would yell at her and threaten to take away the piano lessons. Of course, that wouldn't bother Wendy, seeing as though she hated piano, but she didn't want to make her mother upset. After all, she was the one that wanted Wendy to do piano. Mrs. Darling always wanted to do piano, but never could because of her family's money situation. Because of that, she definitely didn't want Wendy to miss out on what she did. But Wendy wasn't angry or at all upset with her mother about it. She was glad that her doing piano made her mum happy, but she just wished that she could enjoy it too.

Wendy pulled herself out of bed and pulled on a white dress with her usual baby blue bow and went around the room looking for John and Michael, her two brothers, but she couldn't find them anywhere. She gave up on looking for them and headed straight for the bathroom. She looked at herself in the bathroom mirror and couldn't help but touch her lips. The feeling of his soft, pink lips still lingered on hers, and she found herself wanting more of it. Wanting more than ever to meet this peculiar stranger. But, she knew he wasn't a stranger, because although she had never met him before, that dream had her feeling as though she had spent her whole life with him. She looked at herself and suddenly felt very self-conscious. She found herself wondering more than once, Is this how he saw me?

Wendy quickly cleared her head of those thoughts. She forced herself to not think of his soft lips, or his beautiful pale green eyes. Right now, it was time for piano.

Wendy ran downstairs only to see Mrs. Darling talking to Madame Serevônté. Oh no, she thought. I'm late.
