Sorry about the sporadic updates! Things have been pretty busy with finals coming up.
Chapter 6
"Wake up! Wake up!" Rebecca heard. Startled, she almost rolled straight into the tree trunk to her side. The lost boys apparently found it very comfy to sleep in hammocks strung between two trees. Rebecca however, was not very good with hammocks. She had tossed and turned most of the night trying to get comfortable and each time the hammock had swung back and forth, back and forth which she supposed should have been a comforting motion but to her it was just a reminder that she wasn't on the ground. Nearly crashing into the tree woke her up more immediately than Sarah's shouts.
"What, what's going on" she asked sitting up and rubbing her head.
"It's….It's James!" Sarah gushed, tears shimmering down her cheeks. "He's…he's missing."
"Missing?"
"Peter Pan says it's just as well. Apparently, he was a pirate this whole time. Can you believe it?! A pirate in our camp!"
"Really? Pirate?" Rebecca said, it was odd in the stories of Peter Pan they never said much about the pirates. All she knew was that Hook was majorly the bad guy in the stories, but then the books also made Peter Pan seem a lot more charming than he was. You would think the books were written by some love sick girl. Speaking of which, she had never thought to check who wrote those books. She made a mental note to check it out later.
"Yessss" Sarah wailed. "I can't believe it! All the time, I've been crushing after a pirate. "
"Why would he be here thou, I thought pirates hated Peter Pan."
"Exactly. He was spying on us. Imagine if I had showed him where…" she lowered her voice, "Where Tink was and the fairydust."
"I'm actually surprised you showed me." Rebecca admitted. "Although I guess I did kind of follow you."
"Well I mean it was too late anyway." Sarah sighed. " I just wish James wasn't one of them. Now who am I going to crush on at this dreary camp! Maybe if I had someone to make him jealous except no one is our age except me and….and you." She stopped, looking at Rebecca with more interest.
"Oh no," Rebecca said, "I'm not interested in being anyone's sweet heart. You'll have to find a new Lost Boy."
"But you're always so nice to me! And you didn't tell Peter about the cave or anything."
"Sarah, that's what friends do. Honestly. Besides, you don't really like me. You're just upset over the whole James being a pirate thing."
"I know!" Sarah admitted. "Ugh, I just feel like James never really gives me any special attention you know, but the instant you came in he was always giving you special attention. He stares at you all the time did you know? Maybe we can find him still."
