Never land

Wendy looked down in wonder.

It's even more beautiful then I remember

Never land was in full glory, rejoicing that Peter had came back. The dark-night water shimmered with glee, as Peter and Wendy flew over it.

So beautiful….

Wendy sighed. She looked up at Peter, but he wasn't looking at her. Wendy didn't really mind

He has to concentrate on flying, after all. It could be much harder with me in his arms

In his arms…..

Wendy sighed again. She loved Peter. With all her heart. She knew that.

But does he?

Wendy sighed again, as conflicting emotions rippled threw her.

"Hey, Peter? How are the lost boys doing?"

"Fine" Peter said curtly

Wendy didn't like the tone Peter had used. "Peter?" Wendy asked

"Yes?"

"Are you okay?"

Peter didn't want to answer that question. He was in a peculiar mood. Anger was flashing inside of him. He had never felt such an anger, not even when Hook had taken Wendy and his friends.

What is wrong with me?

"Peter?" Wendy asked again.

"I'm fine" Peter said

Wendy was about to say something more when…..

"Wendy! Wendy!"

Wendy looked down, she saw her brothers and the lost boys waving frantically at her

"John! Michael!" Wendy cried happily. "The Lost Boys!"

When Peter was close enough, Wendy jumped down.

John let out a shout as he saw Wendy more clearly

"Wendy! Your face!" Tootles said, as he looked at Wendy, studying her more closely

"It's…..It's broken"

Wendy blushed, and looked down.

"No…. Peter!" John cried, his face turning red. "They didn't!!!"

Peter nodded, not daring to look at Wendy. The anger was still there. It would only get worse if he looked at her broken face.

"They did"

Wendy noticed a shadow at the corner of her eye.

"John!" Wendy looked up, she saw John raise his hand to hit Peter (not hard, he is just a boy)

Her dad with his hand raised……

Peter backed up.

"I thought you would protect her!" John raged, as he walked towards Peter

Wendy ran in front of him, and put her hand on his chest

"Peter couldn't help it John. They would have gotten me, anyway. Peter wasn't there till after they had come into the room"

John put his fist down, but was still glaring at Peter.

Peter was staring at Wendy in wonderment

"Count to ten John. Here I'll count with you….1.…2...3...4.."

John and Wendy counted to ten.

John turned to Peter, he looked down before he apologized.

"I'm sorry Peter. I guess the anger just got to me"

Peter nodded, but he still stayed back from John.

Wendy smiled, even thought it hurt.

"Come on, all of you. I have many more stories!" Wendy exclaimed.

Michael and the lost boys cheered.

"Stories!"

John followed behind, muttering to himself. Peter could only here the words "Parents…Wendy… Abuse"

Peter understood the first two, but he was confused by the word 'abuse'

I'll ask Wendy-Lady later. Maybe she will know.

Peter flew behind the group, un aware of the pair of eyes following him

"So that Wendy was abused, was she?" Captain Hook mused. "I wonder how Peter Pan will feel if I tried to do that too….."

Captain Hook smiled, then chuckled to himself. He knew that Peter Pan liked Wendy. It was completely obvious! To him, anyway.

Love is always perfect to use….for revenge.

Wendy was sitting in the middle of Peter's new hideout

(Hook did find the first one, so they had to find a new one)

"And Red-Handed Jill put her blade up to Captain Hook's neck… 'Do you have any last words Captain Hook?' Hook looked up at Jill 'Yes I do. SMEE!' Suddenly millions of Pirates surrounded Red-Handed Jill" Wendy went on with the tale, telling how Peter Pan and his lost boys came to the rescue, and defeated the evil Captain Hook and his band of pirates

Wendy tucked all the boys into bed. After 3 more stories of course, then she turned around to Peter

"Where will-"

"Wendy what is-"

They said at the same time.

"You go first Wendy"

"Where will I sleep?"

Peter looked around.

"Ummmmm…Here"

Peter pointed to a pile of cushions in another room.

"Okay….. What did you want to say Peter?"

"What does abuse mean?"

Wendy gasped.

"What? Where did you ever hear such a word?!" Wendy exclaimed

Peter jumped back

"John said it" Peter exclaimed.

"Oh dear"

"What does it mean, Wendy-Lady?" Peter asked

"Well it means to hurt someone."

Peter looked at her confused

"Like punch or kick someone. Or you could hurt them emotionally. Make them feel bad about themselves."

"John said your parents abused you, I believe him" Peter thought back to when he got Wendy.

Wendy's face was bloody, as were Mr. Darlings hands.

"Please stop" Wendy had cried.

"Well….. Things were never really great at our house. My parents….they always fought. Never anything physical, mind you. But many bad words. I think something snapped inside of them, when we disappeared. I don't think they were really nice people from the start"

"I'm sorry you had to go threw that Wendy" Peter said, as Wendy was turning to leave.

"That wasn't the worst part, Peter. The worst part was not seeing you"

Wendy walked out of the room, and into the room that Peter said that was her room.

Peter thought about what she said

"That wasn't the worst part. The worst part was not seeing you"

For some reason, Peter really like that Wendy had said that. He liked it WAY too much, to his opinion.

Captain Hook was sitting in his chair.

"Peter Pan, in love…." Hook smiled "In love"

"Who's in love, sir?" Smee said, Captain Hook's right-hand man.

"Peter Pan, Smee!" Hook cried happily, as Smee sat himself down in one of the other chairs

"Peter Pan? In LOVE?!?" Smee asked, disbelieving.

"I had the same reaction Smee. Imagine our Peter Pan, in love"

"Yes, but WHO'S he in love with?" Smee asked fascinated by the prospect that Peter Pan could love.

"Why that Wendy girl, of course. What other girl could he possible fall in love with?"

"Well what about that Indian? Tiger Lily?" Smee asked inquisitively.

"Oh no, Tiger Lily, she likes that brother of Wendy. John was his name?"

"Ahhh" Smee said.

Silence.

"It's the perfect plan Smee!"

Smee jumped up.

"Yes, I suppose it is" Smee said, after he got over his shock. But he didn't really get what 'it' was.

He is, after all a pirate. Higher Education was never popular with pirates. In fact the only smart pirate WAS Captain Hook. Makes you wonder……..

"We'll capture that child, Wendy, and hold her for ransom! A girl for a boy….. Of course, they will both die in the end."

Smee laughed.

"Yes it is!" Smee agreed "Perfect plan, sir!"

"Yes, it is, isn't it?"

Peter woke up to the most horrible screaming. It made his ears curl back.

"Wendy!" Peter gasped, as he recognized the voice.

He flew to Wendy's room.

He saw Wendy twitching and turning on the bed. Michael was sitting beside her, holding her hand and crying. John was doing the same only on the other side. The lost boys were there, too. There faces were as pale as sheets.

"No! No! Please stop! Please! Don't hurt them!"

Wendy jolted awake. Sweat pouring down her skull.

"Wendy?" Peter asked nervously.

"Oh dear" Wendy murmured as she saw everyone staring at her in concern. She blushed, noticing she was only in her pyjamas.

"Wendy?" Tootles asked, repeating Peter

Wendy looked around at all the concerned faces. Her eyes lingered on Peters.

"Would you guys like to hear another story? I'm afraid this one will be pretty sad"

All of the lost boys nodded

"We like stories!" They all cried.

"Will this story be about why you cry?" The twins asked in unison.

Wendy nodded. "Yes it will be"

All of the lost boys sat down on near, or on, Wendy's bed.

Peter and John were the only that stood.

"No I believe it started before we came to Never land for the first time….. I think it was their anniversary. Now let me see….."

Sorry. I want to but the story on another page. To show the significance of it. I don't know how long it will be though. So just hang in there!!!
