Okay, hello everyone! Sorry I haven't updated, getting ready for my first finals ever! AHHH ;D! First is math and MAY BE if my math teacher didn't suck it would be easier to understand, but hey what can you do when you aren't teaching over half of the time. Oh well, at least the year is almost over.
I now present to you the seventh chapter of I'll Always Wait for you. BTW if I may suggest some story subjects to you, look at the nanny (tv show ), phantom of the opera ( movie and musical ), love never dies ( musical ), and howl's moving castle ( movie ).
When Peter beheld the scene of his Wendy in the arms of another, his heart broke. The way he embraced Wendy during the kiss had him convinced that she was lost to him. It all just made him want to go away, Peter just wanted to forget that woman so his heart could be whole and undamaged once more. Over the years he had tried to do that very thing. Peter had flown to Pixie Hollow to speak with the queen about erasing his memories. Of all the creatures of Neverland she was by far the wisest and if anyone knew how to help him it was her. However his hope for a blank slate was dashed when she explained to him that she could do nothing. Wendy would always be with him she said. Well where was she now? With that Jarrod no doubt doing what, he had no clue. Actually he did know. Yes Peter Pan knew about what grown ups did when they got married, to have children, or just because. While exploring the streets of London long after Wendy had retired to her chambers Peter heard talk. He regretably was curious about the Londoners and what they did and one night he peered into a bar window. The drunken sailors were talking so loud he couldn't help but hear the whole conversation. It disgusted him. How could anyone find such a pleasure in that sort of behavior? It was then he decided that he wouldn't find out. After that encounter Peter stopped flying over street lights, and ceased looking through the bright windows full of men and women. All his time after that was Wendy and nothing else.
Peter flew away from the church as soon as they kissed, but it was day light and he couldn't find the stars. He panicked. Peter had always been able to see the stars. Even in the day light he could feel the radiant light that eminated from Neverland's portal. If he couln't feel his star, how was Peter to get home? In desperation he flew to the only place he could think of.
The London Park was deserted. It was still rather early in the morning for others to be out so Peter flew in unseen. It was peacefully quiet. The trees and grass were green and vibrant. Dew drops from the morning's mist hung off of the blades tips where lady bugs and butterflies drank greedily from. The early morning sun's rays bounced off of the patches of tulips and dragon lilies below bringing out their deep purples and reds. Squirrels scampered across the stone paths and chased eachother around the wide trunks of trees and up into the green branches. Overhead birds sang to one another on the tips of the lamp posts that lined the trails. The scene was quite beautiful, and Peter instinctively knew that it was the work of fairies. He strolled down the path that merged with others, and all circled the same thing. Underneath the hanging branches of the willow trees was a great big lake. Couples would often take a boat and row to spend some time alone from their chaperones, leaving them to wait by the waters edge. Peter walked through the puposely parted branches to the dock. He flew to the center of the lake and looked in. Then proceeded to trace a group of symbols over the water, and thought of his sanctuary, Neverland. If this was the park where the fairies spread the seasons then he could return to Neverland. Anxiously Peter stared into the crystal blue waters, he did not have to wait long because instantly the water stared to swirl to reveal a picture of his island. With a sigh of relief Peter dove into the water portal and out the other side to mermaid lagoon. He didn't even stop when he heard the suprised gasps of the fish tailed women as he flew through the other side.
The bright Neverland sun blinded him as soon as he entered. Peter blinked a few times to adjust his eyes to the light and found himself high above the trees. Peter looked down below at his happy and joyful Neverland, and was suddenly disgusted. It was too much. Peter wasn't the same person he was when he left. Well if we're being perfectly honest he wasn't the same person he was when Wendy left, but at least he could still have some happiness in his life. Now what was the point. All he wanted to do now was hide away forever and shut down. Lucky for him he knew just the place to wallow in his dispair.
So here he was at skull island in an underground cavern with only a small fire to keep him company. Long ago Peter had found this place and rigged the perfect system that would allow him fresh water and plenty of food. In fact he was just about to fetch some water when he heard the faint sound of bells. Peter sighed as they approached. It was Tinkerbell. How that little fairy seemed to locate him every time he wanted to be alone was beyond him. When the bells suddenly stopped Peter turned around and gasped when he saw Tink collapsed on the cavern floor. Quickly he rushed to her side and scooped up her tiny body. Peter brought her over to his prepared feather matress and pulled out some of the stuffing from the animal skin sack that contained it. There he laid his friend down and brushed her hair aside.
"Tink?", Peter nudged his friend."Tinkerbell". He continued to push her until she stirred. Tinkerbell slowly opened her eyes and sat up.
"Peter?", she jingled. Peter smiled a sad smile.
"Tinkerbell i'm not leaving here, so please before you argue with me let me speak. I'm not what I was, and haven't been for a long time. Today I witnessed Wendy's marriage and I don't think I can protect this island. She doesn't love me and I was foolish to ever think we could be together. I just need some time to breathe and forget about her. I don't know how long it will take, and if you don't want to stay with me I completely understand."
Tinkerbell was suddenly furious with him. How could he just give up like this? Couldn't he see that Wendy loved him as much as he loved her?! Tinkerbell was just about fly up in his face and say so when she stopped. Queen Carian said that it would be a long time before Peter would return to the world, but how long exactly was a long time? Oh Queen Clarian she thought, how long must Peter wait? It frustrated Tinkerbell not knowing when he should return, but suddenly something hit her. It was a wave of warmth that only could be the queen. She was suddenly faced with a mound of pixie dust. The dust swirled and formed words only her mind could see. Her tears, they read. Tinkerbell's brow creased in concentration. Whose tears, Wendy's? Before she could get a response the warmth left her and she was once again with Peter. She opened her eyes and looked into his hopeful ones.
"Yes", she said," I will stay with you."
