Chapter 4
The lost boys
The beauty of the sight before her nearly took Wendy's breath away. The ocean reflected all the beautiful colors of the morning sunrise and
birds sang lovely melodies in the tops of green trees. Wendy felt as though every bit of her was finally free. She took a deep breath of the
ocean air and closed her eyes. Suddenly she felt Peter grab her arm and pull her quickly to the right. "You better keep your eyes open, you
almost ran into that tree." Wendy's cheeks felt hot with embarrassment. "I guess I was just so entranced by all the beauty."
"You must be tired too. We've been flying all night."
"Really? It's only felt like a minute. I'm still not sure wether this is a dream or just a dream come true." Peter and Wendy flew on for a while
until they came to a large tree. They finally landed and upon seeing the tree up close, Wendy realized that is wasn't just a tree but a home.
When Peter opened the door and stepped in, twenty or more boys piled in around him. All of them looked to be around Peter's age and
younger. They all spoke at once, and a great eagerness shone in their faces. When Peter stepped aside to let Wendy in, everything fell
silent. All eyes were on her. And then they did something which took Wendy completely by surprise. They all knelt down on their knees with
their hands folded together and their heads down. Wendy looked at Peter for an explanation but he only bowed his head. "I've never had a
welcome like this before." Upon her speaking all of the boys looked up. Then with a signal from Peter, they got up one by one, kissed Wendy's
hand, and then left the room which looked like some sort of a parlor. Not a fancy one, nor was it very clean. The floors were dirt floors and their
were chairs that looked like they had been carved from large tree stumps. There was a small fireplace and only one window. Just by looking
around, Wendy could tell that either a woman had never lived here or at least there hadn't been one for a long time. "What was all that for?"
Wendy asked Peter as soon as all the boys had gone. "They've never seen a woman before. The only time they've heard about women were
from my stories. And in my stories, women must be treated with great respect." Wendy's heart warmed upon hearing this. These were the lost
boys which had also been in her stories. They had never had mothers of their own, not sisters, nor aunts. All they'd ever had is each other and
Peter Pan. She was also very touched that Peter would talk about women is such a kind manner. Back at home, Wendy had never been
treated thus. She had grown up with two brothers and therefore boys at her school had never exactly treated her as they would any other
girl. They didn't mistreat her. No, they simply treated her as they would a boy. She had always been different from the other girls. Other girls
wanted to get married and have children, but Wendy wanted to go on adventures and have fun. "Peter, they've never had mothers, have
they?" Peter turned to her with a slight look of pain in his dark brown eyes. "No. None of us have. At least, not that we can remember. That's
why you're here... Well at least one of the reasons."
"What do you mean?"
"Well these boys need a female in their lives. And there is a lot going on in Neverland right now. It's not the beautiful happy place it once was. There is a dark curse here and there is only one man that can be behind all of this."
He paused for a moment and anger blazed in his eyes. "Captain Hook."
