Chapter 4: Meeting the girl, Evangeline

While Peter flew around Mermaid Lagoon, which was near the spring, he heard beautiful singing. He followed the noise and saw an orange-haired girl with blue eyes, wearing pirate's garb. He and Tink hid behind a bush and watched the girl's every move. She was fetching water and talking to a male fairy, and she was also singing.

Peter thought, "She's working for Hook, no doubt! He probably hired her to search for Tink, the Lost Boys, and I. Tink and I have to capture her, before she can go back to Hook." Peter waited a moment, then whispered, "All right Tink, we have to capture the girl before she and her fairy can go back to Hook. Are you ready?"

Tinkerbell shook her head and showed Peter the necklace. She thought that the girl might be Evangeline and the fairy must be her partner.

"Don't be silly, Tinkerbell. That girl couldn't be Evangeline. She's wearing pirate's garb." Peter whispered. Tinkerbell still insisted that Peter should ask the girl if the necklace belonged to her.

Just then, a small blue-jay flew down and perched on Evangeline's hand. "What news do you have for me this time, Cloud?" Evangeline asked. The small bird chirped in her ear. "Pirates… kidnapped my sister, Angeline and Princess Tiger Lily… and took them to Skull Rock?" Evangeline translated aloud.

Tinkerbell looked at Peter as if she was saying, "Her sister's name is Angeline, just like Evangeline. This is the one, Peter."

Peter scoffed and continued to listen. "I have to go rescue them right away. Good work, Cloud. As a reward, you get to eat these blueberries I picked just for you."

Cloud ate the berries, but the bird shared with Evangeline's fairy, Terrence. Evangeline was still trying to take off her pirate disguise.

"She's gonna make a break for it. Tink, now's our chance. We have to strike now. CHARGE!" Peter shouted.

Tinkerbell waved her hands and head as if she were saying, "Don't do it Peter!" "AHHHHH!" Evangeline screamed. Tinkerbell flew over and grabbed Peter's shirt collar, trying to pull him off her. Terrence grabbed the shirt collar as well and Cloud poked Peter in the neck until Peter shooed him away.

"You filthy pirate! You're trying to help Hook find me which means, you won't escape from me!" Peter angrily exclaimed.

"I'm not a pirate! It's a disguise." Peter looked into her eyes and saw she was telling the truth but, also saw that her eyes looked beautiful.

He then thought for a minute, "Wait a minute, there are NO female pirates in Captain Hook's crew. It must be a disguise."

He then helped her back to her feet and apologized for his behavior. Then he asked, "Sorry about that; I really thought you were one of Hook's pirates…What's your name?"

"My name's Evangeline and I already know yours. You're Peter Pan, right!?"

"Well, yes. HOLD UP! You said your name was Evangeline?"

"Yes, you're correct."

Peter couldn't believe his eyes and ears. He was speaking to Evangeline, the very same person that killed Hook. "Well Evangeline, I have a question to ask you if you're not busy." Peter said.

"All right, what is it?" Evangeline sweetly asked.

"Well, I was wondering if this locket… is yours."

"It is! That is undoubtfully mine, Peter."

"Are you sure, the only letters printed on here is 'EV' and the rest are covered in sand."

"If you don't believe me, open the locket and you'll see for yourself who it really belongs to."

Peter hesitated for a minute, thinking that the necklace was a beacon for hook or an item containing a magic trap that would make him and Tinkerbell become captured. But, he took a deep breath and unlocked the necklace. He saw something: It was a photo, engraved in the necklace of Evangeline, her sister Angeline, her father Chowilawu, and mother Pandora. He looked up at Evangeline, and then back down at the picture and realized three things, 1: The necklace belonged to the girl, Evangeline, who stood before him, 2: he remembered Tiger Lily said Hook killed Evangeline's parents and that to get revenge, she killed Hook, and 3: She was wearing her pirate disguise, which she used to trick Hook. Peter apologized to Evangeline and offered to put her necklace back around her neck and return her sword.

She explained to Peter everything that Cloud had told her, "My messenger bird, Cloud has told me that Hook's men have captured Tiger-Lily and my little sister, Angeline and has taken them to Skull Rock. I have to hurry and rescue them."

Peter grabbed her arm as she tried to fly away and said, "Hold on. I'd like to come with you. Surely I can be of some help to you because I won't let you go alone."

Evangeline smiled and nodded "yes". The two called their companions to their side, grabbed their weapons, and set off for Skull Rock together.
