Peter Pan
Disclaimer: I do not own Peter Pan,all rights go to owners.
Prologue:
Wendy began to prepare dinner. She wiped her brow as she continued to clean the vegetables. She hummed a small tune as she lathered the various vegetables with water.
''Mother,Mother!'',John and Micheal ran into the hideout,flustered and worked up with the Lost Boys in tow. Wendy turned round and arched an eyebrow.
''What's the matter?'',she looked searchingly at the crowd of boys and narrowed her eyes.
''Where's Nibs and Curly?'',Wendy asked slowly,shaking a terrible thought out of her head. Tootles shook his head and pointed from behind him. Behind him was an unconscious Peter,his auburn hair falling over his closed eyes,supported only by Nibs and Curly.
''Peter?'',Wendy cried as she abandoned her work space and knelt down to lift Peter's chin,he was out cold.
''Thank you boys,I'll take it from here'',Wendy whispered. She draped one of Peter's arms on her shoulder and guided him to one of the rooms in the hideout and gently placed him on one of the soft fur covered couches. She quickly ran into the kitchen and grabbed a white flannel before drenching it in some water. She ran back to Peter and placed it on his head. Perspiration evident on his face.
''Oh Peter''',Wendy whispered,blinking back tears. Peter was never sick,and having a fever here was...quite deadly,not like that of back home in England,when Mother could provide the best remedies for you to get better. She dabbed the flannel at his face a couple of times and then ran back into the kitchen,filling a bowl with cold water and then ran back. She placed the bowl on the ground and knelt down beside it. She dipped the flannel into the bowl and dabbed at his face again. The boys all stood by the entrance. Wendy looked up.
''Boys?'',Wendy asked.
''Will Father be alright?'',Curly asked,sniffling.
''Oh,Curly'',Wendy smiled and beckoned them over. They all filed in one by one,opposing to their usual trampling-over-one-another to get into a single room.
''Everything will be grand,really,you'll see,Peter and all of you guys will be out climbing trees and playing pirates,you'll see'',the boys nodded slowly.
''Go on boys,out you go,go out and play,you can all go collect berries for dinner?'',Wendy suggested. The boys all nodded and filed out in a single line,into the entrance. They must have been really depressed if they were all exiting in such an orderly line. Wendy turned back to Peter and touched his face softly. ''Peter'',she whispered.
