Peter Pan 3:the lost girl
Chapter 3
(Kat's POV)
I was far enough away from Bloomsbury street that I knew I was making good time. I had only one thing in mind, Neverland. I knew how to get there, second star to the right and straight on till morning. Only problem was HOW to get there. I knew I couldn't fly, and pixie dust wasn't exactly something you can easily pick at your corner drug store. So I figured I'd just walk, get as far away from my mom and her "grown up" ways as fast as I possibly could, and figure the rest out later.
I walked for a while longer and soon I saw a single shop open. It looked like some kind of inn or restaurant or something. It looked very different, it was in the river and it looked like a giant pirate ship.(probably just a stunt to get more customers, or something) I saw what I would guess was the place's owner, a short man with white balding hair, and a brown vest, striped shirt and shorts. He looked very much like a pirate so I could only assume he worked there. I walked up to him and he turned to me and smiled. "Well good evening young lady. How are you?" he asked me. "Um, fine I guess, just a little tired, I've been walking for sometime now." I said a little hesitant. "Well, why don't you come on in and I'll fix up a bite to eat and you can rest here." he said with a cheerful smile.
I didn't know him but I liked him. He reminded me of my grandpa on my dad's side. He was always so funny and nice. But he passed away right before I started High school. I walked on after the old man and he got me a place to sit down, then disappeared behind a pair of swing doors. He came back out with some bread and water. "So, what's your name, miss?" he asked. "Kassidy Miller, but everybody calls me Kat." "Oh, well my names Smee." he said. I laughed a little and said, "right, like the first mate in Peter pan?" "Precisely!" he said cheerfully. All of the sudden I felt a little lurch, like the place was moving. I looked around and then looked at him and he was just smiling as though nothing has happened.
"What on earth was that?" I asked. "What was what?" he responded. I just shook my head, guessing I probably imagined it. We sat there and talked for a while till he asked me if I wanted to meet the real owner of "this fine establishment". I sighed and said "What the heck" and followed him to an office towards the back.
Inside was a tall man in a deep red overcoat with black hair and a long face that ONLY a mother could love. His hands were behind his back and he had this weird smile dancing on his lips. "Good evening" He began, "and how are we this fine evening? Allow me to introduce myself, I am Capitan James Hook-" I couldn't help myself, I doubled over in laughter. "wow, my mom would really stoop THIS low?" I choked out. "wow, that's' really good, now seriously who are you?" I snickered. he got this look of offence on his face and said, " I am Capitan hook and you, Wendy, are doomed.". I looked at him like he was crazy. My name wasn't Wendy and even if it was, how on earth did he know that name, was he expecting my great grandmother? I mean we didn't exactly look alike. He sneered again and in a flash second, I was face to face with the sharpest sword I had ever seen. I gulped, smiled, then turned and bolted for the door and then for the upper deck for the exit.
Only one problem, once I was on deck, I realized that there was no exit because we were flying, passing Big Ben, the clock tower. And headed straight for my one and only destination. Second star to the right and straight on till morning.
