Chapter Two

Wendy slept. It would soon be midnight, but she and the rest of London would not notice as they were all fast asleep. The city was quiet and peaceful; the sky as clear as could be with the moon and stars reflecting off the houses with ease. The moonlight inside Wendy's room was soon interrupted by a shadow that appeared through the window. This was no ordinary shadow, for it was large and took on no true shape. Still Wendy slept. Slowly, the window began to open by some force from the outside. Without making a sound, two brawny men slipped into Wendy's bedroom. They snuck their way over to opposite sides of her bed and grabbed her, making sure to stifle her screams as they carried her out through the window and aboard their flying pirate ship.

Wendy fought her kidnappers hard, but a sixteen-year-old girl was no match for two muscular pirates. She punched and kicked, trying everything to break free when a huge SMACK landed directly on her cheek. She was terrified. She had been in this situation before, but things were different now, and she was not naïve enough to believe she wouldn't be harmed. The red mark growing on her cheek was proof enough of that. A tear rolled down her cheek in response to the pain, but she knew she could not let these men see her in a vulnerable state, so she did not let another fall.

Wendy quickly recognized the ship to be the Jolly Roger. She jokingly mocked herself as she tried to think of any other floating pirate ship flying around London. Surely the mastermind behind her kidnapping had to be none other than Captain Hook. She had yet to see him on board the ship, but she was sure he was planning on using her for some scheme in Neverland. Could this mean that Peter somehow made his way back?

The men dragged Wendy below the ship's deck and shoved her into a small cell. Being all alone, Wendy's thoughts consumed her. She began imagining Neverland, and what it felt like to be there. She couldn't help but feel a small inkling of excitement as she pictured the beaches, the jungles, and the lagoons of Neverland. Even if she was being held captive by Captain Hook and his crew, she knew it was just a matter of time before her captors slipped up and she was free.
