Quick note I just realized I could tell this funny story now with out ppl looking at me weirdly. So like awhile back I had a dream that took place in the desert but me and my family were going to disneyland and like we were in a bar and BAM Peter pan (Robbie Kay) is there so I'm like "Mom teehee he's cute" and "she's like omg you should totes flirt with him" so I like just ran to the table and was like "hehe you're eating peanut butter that's funny cuz you're Peter Pan" and he was just like "what?" and then I army crawled my way out of the situation. Even in my dreams guys I am forever alone. On that happy note I wrote a long chp for you guys so enjoy!
Sarah opened her eyes as the sun began to rise above the horizon. She was surprised and happily relieved that she hadn't fallen off of her tree branch in the middle of the night; however, she did realize she couldn't move her neck from the position it was in.
"OW OW OW OW OW" she muttered as she tried to put her head straight and an intense amount of pain shot through it. She placed a hand behind her neck and massaged it for a bit.
"Ok time to go find Alfie" she said as she began to climb down. When she reached the ground she focused on where she remembered seeing the smoke the night before and followed her guess. The jungle wasn't that bad in the daytime.
"This could be relatively easy, 'try and find us first, but be careful this jungle's dangerous'," Sarah imitated Pan making herself laugh. However it seems she had spoken to soon and fell flat on her face and found herself in a net made out of rope.
"Great, just great" she snapped as she tried to wriggle her way out of it. Just then a girl with dark hair and tan skin dressed in a native american sort of dress came out from behind a bush. She looked completely frustrated at finding Sarah in her trap, because it was obviously her fault.
"Another lost boy perfect, you boy's don't know the meaning of boundaries" Sarah heard the girl mutter to herself.
"Actually no I'm a girl, who just happens to be lost. But I'm not entirely associated with them" Sarah told her and the girl gave her a confused look.
"It's a long story" Sarah just admitted. The girl then practically came rushing toward her with a smile on her face.
"Hi" she greeted her in a friendly manner.
"Hello" Sarah tried to smile at her politely. The girl just stared at her awkwardly.
"I'm Sarah" Sarah introduced herself, she may have been stuck in a rope trap but anytime was always a good to use your manners.
"Tiger Lily" the girl told her.
"You're joking" Sarah muttered under her breath.
"No I'm not. Is Peter nearby?" Tiger Lily asked looking around her.
"Nope it's just me by myself walking through the forest" I tried to explain to her as quickly as possible.
"You're by yourself?"
"Yes that's what I said" Tiger Lily gave her a sympathetic look and then took out a knife that she had in a satchel of hers and then cut a rope that let Sarah down. When she untangled herself from the net Tiger Lily gave her a hand and helped her up. Then she glanced at her in a funny way.
"Do you have a brother?" she asked her. Sarah looked at her a bit surprised.
"Yes?" she answered cautiously. Tiger Lily's smile grew wide, which was a good sign.
"Walk with me?" Tiger Lily asked. Sarah glanced off in the direction she was supposed to be heading. Sarah had expected this minor speed bump in her hunt for her little brother to be over and forgotten about now that she was out of the net but she didn't want to be rude.
"I'm walking that way as well" Tiger Lily put in as she noticed Sarah looking off into the distance. Sarah smiled at her and nodded.
"I like your red hair, there's not many people who have that on the island, and it's good luck. Well at least I think it does. I know it means you've been kissed by fire or something like that but I wouldn't say that's good luck because technically then wouldn't that mean you got set on fire as a child? Anyways it's a saying that we have in my tribe" Tiger Lily rambled. Sarah giggled at her statement.
"I've never heard that one before" Sarah admitted. The two were silent for a moment.
"You know my brother then? Alfie?" Sarah asked. Tiger Lily looked at her almost sympathetically as if there was something she didn't want to tell her because she was afraid it would hurt her.
"He's a sweet boy, he's one of the few Pan always has around with him. He likes him because he's a good thief. He's been successful on all of the raids Pan's ordered him to do on the Jolly Roger and anyone else who comes into Neverland," Sarah was taken aback for a moment sure she had known her little brother had a bit of a pit pocketing problem, but that was only on minor things like Halloween candy from another kid or money from her purse. It seemed strange that being here hand changed her brother into a professional clepto-maniac.
"He say's he has big plans for him" Tiger Lily continued. Things began to make sense then as to why Alfie came back and why Pan wanted him here so badly. Tiger Lily looked at Sarah wondering how she would react to the news. Sarah just kept quiet to herself for a moment.
"Well it's a good thing I'll be here with him then, I mean that's my job...to protect him and make sure he's safe." Sarah told her, with a little shrug of her shoulders. Tiger Lily gave her a sympathetic smile again, she knew now that this girl was stuck here for her brother's sake and was glad she wasn't taking it that badly.
"I think you'll like it here. And once you do get to know Peter he is quite charming and you do have to admit he's a bit adorable and..." Tiger Lily just gave her a girly smile not bothering to finish the sentence when she saw the look Sarah was giving her.
"A baby grizzly bear is adorable too but I'm pretty sure it could still maul my face off" Sarah put in and Tiger Lily's girly smile slowly faded away. Again the duo had a moment of silence.
"How'd you know Alfie was my brother?" Sarah asked.
"You two have the same color eyes and those lovely little freckles on your noses. Your's are more prominent obviously because you're so pale. That might change though the longer you stay here" Sarah chuckled.
"Believe it or not it's impossible for me to have a tan" Sarah then began to realize they were walking into a camp and she saw children running around and hunter's and gatherers preparing for the next meal, it was like she had stepped back in time. Everyone greeted Tiger Lily with a warm smile and gave one to Sarah as well. Clearly being chummy with the princess gave you perks. Sarah's heart deflated though when she noticed the bonfire in the middle of the camp and saw that it was emitting white smoke, similar to the smoke she saw before.
"Do you always have a fire going?" Sarah asked. Tiger Lily nodded.
"I saw it last night when I was hiding in a tree"
"You slept out in a tree?" Tiger Lily laughed. Sarah nodded a bit embarrassed now.
"That was smart, sounds terribly uncomfortable but smart"
"Thank you" Sarah accepted what she thought was a compliment. A woman came around with a basket and offered some berries to her and Tiger Lily. Normally, although she hated to admit it, Sarah was a picky eater when it came to trying new things, but considering the fact that the last thing she had eaten was a granola bar at 10 in the morning she was willing to eat anything set in front of her. The woman eventually gave Sarah the whole basket because she kept asking for another serving.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry" Sarah apologized once she realized she devoured an entire basketful of berries.
"I would have done the same if I were you"
"You have more right?" Sarah asked hoping she hadn't just eaten the tribes whole winter supply of berries.
"Yes there's more" Tiger Lily laughed and Sarah laughed with her. Tiger Lily then let out a sigh and turned to her new companion.
"Can I be honest with you?" she asked. Sarah gave her a nod as answer.
"You're basically on a suicide mission" Tiger Lily told her the truth. Sarah had a guess at what she was talking about but wanted further insight into it.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"None of us know's where Pan's camp is not even my tribe he likes to keep it secret. Also this is a big island, it's so big that any lost boy he sends out always has a companion with them as a safety precaution. I don't think he expects you to succeed with this" Tiger Lily explained. Sarah let out a hollow breath.
"I had a feeling that's what you meant" Sarah told her the truth.
"You are welcome to stay here, and wait till they come here to ask for our help with a raid though" Tiger Lily offered.
"How often does that happen?" Sarah asked.
"Very rarely these days, since Captain Hook disappeared" Sarah bit her lip as she thought for a moment. Alfie needed her. Him coming back here seemed to cause a sort of tension between him and Pan and she wasn't willing to stay safe while he was possibly going to be punished for trying to run away.
"Well I guess I'll just have do something unexpected then" Sarah told her. Tiger Lily gave her a smile.
"Hang on a moment" she told her as she got up and then returned a few moment's later.
"These are for you!" she exclaimed as she set several thing's down in her lap. Sarah examined the pile and saw some clothes for a girl surprisingly, a satchel, a pair of shoes, and a sword.
"Captain Hook left it on the beach one day and said he didn't want it anymore to many bad memories or something like that...so I kept it. Didn't really see the point in using it but I thought that it might come in handy" Tiger Lily explained.
"Thank you!" Sarah thanked her.
"Now I know you want to find your brother as soon as possible but I have a good guess at where Pan could be hiding but you'll have to wait a while"
"Tiger Lily! You're the best!" Sarah exclaimed.
For the first time in what felt like forever Sarah actually got a good night's sleep. It turns out without the pressure's of homework sleeping can be good for you even if it's only for four hours. Tiger Lily had shaken her up from her sleep.
"Come on we need to go now" she whispered to her. Sarah groggily nodded and grabbed her newly aquired things as she let Tiger Lily drag her god knows where. They began to slow down when Sarah noticed the ground was softer.
"You can swim right?" Tiger Lily asked. Sarah was almost going to nod as an answer to her questions but she didn't know where to look it was completely pitch black outside.
"Yes" she answered.
"Good now, whenever the lost boy's come over they always have this sort of orange pollen stuck to there clothes from a flower. I've searched as far as I can and that pollen is not on this side of the island. However, if you were to swim across this lagoon I'm positive that you'll find that flower on the other side. And if you find the flower you'll be closer to finding your brother" Tiger Lily explained.
"Why do we have to do this now, in the dark of the night?" Sarah asked.
"Well this is the hard part there's...things in the lagoon that'll grab at anything they can, but like everything else they need a time to sleep. My father told me this is the safest time to try and swim across if you were stupid enough to give it a go" Tiger Lily muttered the last part.
"And I'm stupid enough" Sarah agreed. She could hear the sound of the water lapping at the tide and started to walk near it.
"Try and swim as soundlessly as you can. If that's possible" Tiger Lily warned her.
"I will"
"And when you get across whistle for me like this" Tiger Lily told her and she did this whistle that sounded strangely familiar to Sarah.
"Hang on do that again?" Sarah asked with a smile on her face. Tiger Lily repeated the noise. Sarah was right.
"Is that the? Nooo nevermind" Sarah said to her afraid she would laugh at her if she told Tiger Lily she was making a mockingjay whistle. Quite unexpectedly Tiger Lily threw her arms around Sarah in a hug. Sarah then returned the hug not quite realizing that they were at the hugging stage now in their friendship.
"If you live come back and visit" Tiger Lily told her as Sarah stepped further into the water. With that Sarah dove into the water. She didn't think it would be possible but the water seemed to be darker than it was outside. It was freezing as well. When she came up for breath to try and see if she was across she was caught off guard for a moment as she didn't even realize if she was still in the water or not. Once her eyes adjusted she could almost see that she was about halfway across. She dove back down and touched something that made her flinch back for a second it had almost felt like a tendril of hair but she had dismissed it as seaweed. Finally as she felt the lagoon floor get shallower her frantic heartbeat had slowed down a bit and she let herself take a quick break. It was then that something grabbed onto her leg and before she could take a breath she was dragged under water. She clutched at anything she could but it all just slipped through her fingers. Next she felt pain shooting up through her arms. Using as much adrenaline that she could she felt around for what was attacking her and grabbed onto something that felt like a face. With all of her strength she pushed her thumbs into what she assumed were it's eyeballs which made it let go of her for a second and with that second of freedom she swam, what felt like quicker than an olympic athlete to the shore. As she caught her breath for a moment she laughed to herself. Never before had she done something as awesome as that. She didn't know what she had faced but all she knew was that she had just saved herself from becoming somethings dinner.
This has to be what Buffy feels like Sarah thought! Her whole body was shivering even though Sarah began to feel a warmth all over her body, but she ignored it and continued up the beach. Before she went further she did the whistle Tiger Lily had told her to do and it was quickly returned. And so she continued on with her trek but something odd was happening though, she had gotten out of the water but the ground seemed to still be moving.
"She's not coming for you" Peter told Alfie as he saw the little boy look off into the distance searching for Sarah. Alfie just glared at him as a response while Peter sat down next to him.
"I know you love it here. Everyone does in their own way" Peter whispered to him. Alfie just scooted away from him ignoring him.
"Who needs your sister anyways. Do you honestly think she could survive this place on her own? I thought you told me once I was the older brother you always wanted" Peter repeated Alfie's words right back to him. Peter looked up from his spot and saw the Lost Boys were gathered around something a bit far out. He got up to see what they were looking at and Alfie out of curiosity got up followed behind him.
"Move aside" Peter ordered as he nudged a few of them out of the way. Alfie let out a gasp at what he saw before him. There on the ground was his older sister but she looked terrible. Her pale skin was an unhealthy color and she had dark shadows under her eyes, she seemed to be shivering as well but there was a sheen of sweat across her forehead. Alfie saw Peter grit his teeth at the sight, his sister had actually surprised him. Peter reached down and pulled down the sleeve of Sarah's sweater to find bite marks on her arm.
"Mermaids" Peter explained for all of them. The group of boys around them gasped at the sight. Alfie saw there was some sort of internal struggle going on inside Peter and he couldn't believe his eyes as he picked up Sarah off the ground and brought her towards the camp. Alfie smirked though as he heard Peter mutter something like
"Stubborn, annoying ginger" as he passed by.
