Wendy flew through the evening sky as fast as she could. If she wasn't so worried about Peter she would have loved it, but all she could think about was his beautifull, happy face. If he died because of her she would never forgive herself. Finally they reached the spot were the had to be carefull and not let og of eachother, but this time Wendy was alone, except for Tinkerbell, so she had to travel on her own. They came through the place very quickly and then they were in Neverland. At least they should have been. But this place didn't look like the place she had left three years ago. It was sad. It was like the whole place was morning over something. The sky was overclouded and the mist was thick. She turned to Tink.
"What happend?" Tink watched her for a moment, like she was considering wether or not she should tell Wendy something. Then it looked like she had descided.
"Come with me and I'll tell you something, but not here. It's not safe. If the pirates see you Hook will og nutz!"
They flew fast into the woods and continued through the forest until they came to a mountain. They then flew up a long way until they came to an empty cave. They went inside and Tink hurried over to a big stone further in. Then she knocked it twice and it went aside. Wendy was suddenly overwhelmed. She walked through the entrance and there it was warm and cozy. There were fairies everywhere. Working and relaxing. Tink looked at her. "This is Peter's own hiding place. Nobody knows about this except the fairies. Not even the lostboys have heard of it." Wendy was impressed. It wasn't very big, but it was nice. At the end of the cave there was a huge bed carved in to the mountain with a lot of blankets on it. They went over there and lay down. When Wendy had gotten some food and a warm drink the fairies left them alone. Tink checked that they were completely alone and then turned back to Wendy.
"What I'm about to tell you must never, ever leave this room. Understood?" Wendy looked slightly confused, but nodded. Tink saw her expression and said: " You will understand why. If the wrong people hear this it will mean the end of Peter Pan and his Neverland."
Wendy gasped. What?! She could see on Tink's face that she was serious. Tink cleared her throuth and started.
"I'm going to tell you the true story of Peter Pan."
------------------------Peter----------------------
Peter woke up with a groan. He had a really bad headache. He tried to move his hands, but wasn't suprised when he couldn't. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the floor with his hands tied on his back. He thought back on the moments before he had been knocked out. That laughter. He knew perfectly well who it was that had hit him. It was the very same man standing before him now. Hook.
Peter looked up at him, eyes filled with hate and disguste.
"What the hell do you want with me?!" he yelled angry, trying to get lose. Hook just laughed and went over to his chair a few feet away. Someone grabbed Peter from behind and brought him up on his knees. Hook looked at him fore a moment, like he was thinking about something. Then he leaned over to him and said:
"I guess you wanna know why your still alive so I guess I should tell you. You got something I need."
"Really? And would that be?", Peter answered with a sarcastic tone. Hook smiled viciously.
"Your biggest secret…", he almost whispered the last word. You could see Peter's face turn white for a second, but only for a second.
"My what?!", he said, his face now completely emotionless again.
Unfortunately for Peter, Hook had seen his panicked face, even though it only lasted for a second. He smiled again and leant back.
"Don't try to fool me, Pan. I know you know exacly what I'm talking about. Don't you?" When Peter didn't answer he continued. "I have heard some of the secrets about you and this place Pan. But only parts of it. Therefor I need you to fill in the blankspots for me. And at the end you will give me "The Key"…"At the mentioning of the key, Peter really lost all colour in the face, but he didn't say anything. However that seemed to please Hook. He was right. Peter knew exactly what he talked about, therefore the legend must be true. The legend he had read in an ancient book he had found in a chest in the woods. It was named The Legend of Peter Pan.
------------------Wendy---------------------
Wendy didn't say anything. She just looked at Tink. She was going to tell her something incredible important and it seemed to be hard for her. Then she started:
" We all know the story of Peter Pan. How he ran away from home after hearing his parents fight about his future. Then he met me and decided to never grow up and we went to Neverland. But no-one know how Neverland ever became Neverland. But I do. Peter made it. He is very powerfull and without Peter there is no Neverland. You have probably noticed that when Peter bacome sad or angry the weather change with his mood. And when I almost died Hook thought he was dead because the weather change and there was a big storm. He was completely right. If Peter dies, so does Neverland the way we know it. The reason why the weather is as it is now is that Peter is captured. He's confused and angry and unhappy. And trust me, we will know if he's in pain or dies."
Wendy just looked at her for a moment before saying: " But how can this be? Why does the island react to Peter?" Tink continued.
" When Peter came to the Island it was all winter here and almost no life. The mermaids couldn't live here because of the ice, the animals didn't have any food (the pirates didn't come before after Peter) and so on. But Peter made a pact with he island and it's surroundings. He was a boy who loved being it. Therefore he was to be a boy forever and he would keep Neverland beautifull. Everytime Peter leaves it is winter here, but when he comes back the summer comes. He's so happy that the island became so to. That's why it's affected by Peters mood. Because of the deal. But it wasn't that easy to make the deal. He had to have an object that could keep this magic from other people, like Hook for example, because if it gets in the wrong hands it can be terrible consequenses. This object is called "The Key". Although it's called that it doesn't mean it has to be a key. It's called that, because it's the key to Peter Pan's greatest power. The power of being young and strong. The key is of course hidden so it can't be found by people like Hook, but there are no-one who knows about it.
If Hook gets a hold of this key it woulf mean the end of Peter Pan and Neverland. Hook will become immortal and he will have the power to do whatever he wants for always and nothing can stop him. That is the true story of Peter Pan. You understand what that means don't you?"
Wendy gaped at what Tinkerbell had just told her. Was Peter really that powerfull? She nodded to Tink. " Yes, I do. Hook must never get that key. But why is that something your worried about? Peter would never give it anyone…" Tink looked at her and sighed." You really don't get it do you? Peter has only one weakness in this enitire world…" Wendy looked at her. "What kind of weakness?" "YOU"
Wendy just looked at her for a moment. Then reality seemed to sink in. I get it. So maybe we should move the key or something. Just to be sure."
"That would be a great idea Wendy, but there's a BIG problem."
"What?"
" The only one who knows where the key is hidden…is…Peter Pan…"
