The Less She Could Remember
Chapter Seven
Peter held his breath waiting for Wendy's reply, the anticipation was killing him.
"It's probably because I'm tired or something." she finally said. His heart sake instantly why does she still believe it's all make believe?
That's it! he thought it's time to get with program and get her to remember, at the rate she's going it may take a while.
"Come the sun has set and there's still much more too see." he said trying to sound enthusiastic.
"But we are not going to be able to see anything in the dark." she stated. He began to lift into the air.
"I know it's the best time to see what I'm going show you." Peter smiled offering his hand.
She gave him a confused look but took his hand he helped her onto his back. He flew down the cliff thinking he was going to crash to the ground she held him more tightly almost choking him but at the last second he straightened himself and flew normally.
She breathed a sigh a of relief, he chuckled. "What's so amusing?" she asked.
"You are, I wasn't going to crash, Wendy." he laughed a little more.
"Sorry I'm just not used to this."
"You'll get used to it don't worry." he assured her.
"What makes you so sure?" she asked not even sure how he would know.
"I've got a feeling." was all he said and they continued to sore through the air. He brought her to a small opening and in the middle sat a large tree. Peter descended to the ground Wendy let go of him, he could help but feel sad at the loss of contact.
"Why did you bring me here?" she wondered. Plant life grew all around the tree, along with strange tree stumps with moss growing off the sides, what a strange place, and yet, somehow familiar.
Wendy couldn't shaking the feeling that she's seen this place or has been here before, but if she had wouldn't she remember?
Suddenly, light beamed from under the tree. Golden rays sprouted from inside, curious Wendy stepped toward the tree Peter cocked his head slightly and followed her.
She neared a hole in the tree where some of the light was coming from, she peered inside and what she saw she did not expect. Fairies! Wendy couldn't believe it, actual fairies "Is this really possible? Am I actually seeing fairies?" she asked not taking her eyes off the fairies.
"Yes, what you are seeing is real." Peter answered her.
She barely registered what he said because she was to engaged watching the fairies fly around gracefully, and some were dancing as the floating in mid air, almost as if they were dancing under water.
It was such a beautiful sight. Then she looked up at Peter who was studying her carefully, he watched her to see if this place would trigger any memory. She has the same exact expression as she did last time she was here but she remained silent.
Maybe he should recreate the act and hopefully she'll remember.
He offered his hand for a dance, then her eyes went wide. Wendy couldn't explain but when he offered his hand she saw a little boy, only it was Peter she saw as a boy.
Not sure why she saw this but when she did she stood up and backed away. Peter's eyes widened in alarm, did she remember something? "Wendy?" he said cautiously.
"Please, I need to alone." she said and walked in the jungle leaving Peter stand there.
What was that? And why did she just see him as a boy then the man he was now, this made no sense. One minute everything is somewhat normal then she gets some sort of flash back of dream? Is she going mad? Is this all in her head and she's where in a mad house?
She walked and walked till finally she found the sandy beach and just collapsed in exhaustion. Oh, why does this place feel so familiar? She had more questions than answers and, frankly, it was frustrating!
Her eyes started to feel heavy and before she knew it she fell asleep.
Poor Wendy was unaware that since she left Peter she was being followed, Hook had been sitting quietly and saw Pan fly over. Lucky for Hook, Pan didn't notice him he had Wendy with him.
He watched the couple and noticed Wendy's sudden departure, he had followed her till she sat on the beach. He watched her as he did he formed a plan that would turn her against Pan and come running to him.
It's perfect Hook would get his revenge on Pan and get his woman. And, in truth, Hook's lust grew for her, it took all his might to not throw her over his back and take her back to ship. No, she will come to him, willingly.
Hook walked slowly towards her he knelt down by her ear, "My dear Wendy, Peter is not who you think he is. He kidnapped you when you were younger, and brought you here to Neverland. I tried rescuing you but he kept stealing you away and told you lies about me, he kept us apart, and now he's up to his old tricks again. He's kidnapped you and brought you here trying to make you believe his lies, and keep you away from me."
"It's me who wants you, Wendy, me you want as well. Come to me." he whispered then slowly backed away disappearing from sight.
Wendy awoke suddenly what a strange dream she had but it made everything so clear, and all her questions answered.
She marched into the jungle, "Peter! Peter Pan, where are you?!"
Peter had her calling him he flew right to her voice and found her, as he looked at her he could she had something on her mind.
"I remember." she said.
He went still and a huge smile broke out on his face.
"I think I'm in love with Hook." she said.
Peter's world came to a crashing halt, what did she just say?!
