Peter Pan

Chapter 7

A.N: Chapter 7! Finally! SHOUT OUTS AT BOTTOM TO ALL WHO REVIEWED THE LAST CHAPTER!!

Peter, Wendy and Tinkerbell flew higher and higher into the stardusted night sky. As they ascended into the heavens, Wendy continually performed flips and somersaults as Peter had done in her room. She even mimicked like she was swimming, doing the frog kick stroke. Peter laughed at that and did the same thing beside her. Tink flew a few paces behind them, eyeing Wendy carefully.

Right away when she saw this new Wendy, Tink knew she was not the same one as Peter had loved. And still did. After hie Wendy left Neverland and taken all of the Lost Boys with her, Tink began to see dramatic changes in Peter. He had quit eating all together, he would not speak to anyone just daze off into space, and every night before he retired to his hammock he would fly to a rock by Mermaid Lagoon and sit and look at the stars.

Now that Peter had found a new Wendy, Tink wanted to be wary of her every move. Even if Peter looked at this new girl the same way he used to with the old one, Tink still wanted to best for him. What if this girl was to break his heart as her relative had? Tinkerbell would not stand for it if she did.

Now the two flying teenagers were soaring high amongst the clouds, zipping in and out of the puffs. Wendy saw a flock of cranes gliding by in a pack and she flew up next to one of them. She had always watched them from her window when it was time for them to fly south. To her they were these graceful, flawless creatures that were often taken for granted. Now that she was actually seeing one up close, gazing at its brilliant plumage and its movements, it was positively amazing.

Peter flew so that he was floating on Wendy's back and he gripped her waist. She glanced at his hands on her waist and she looked up at him. He just smiled at her reassuringly and in the next second they rocketed toward the ground. Wendy shrieked and was about to cover her eyes with her hands when Peter unclasped his right hand to take hers away from her face. He bent down and whispered huskily, almost seductively into her ear,

"Don't you dare close your eyes," Wendy gasped and did as she was told and Peter grinned as they came ever closer to the hard ground. At the very last second, Peter steered himself and Wendy out of harm's way and he let her waist go but immediately clutched her hand. Wendy laughed with joy and relief and closed her eyes this time, letting the cool breeze whip in her face.

Peter swooped low and skimmed the surface of a lake with the tips of his fingers. Wendy did the same on her side. Peter smirked evilly and turned and splashed water on Wendy's face. She gasped with disbelief but quickly recovered as she was soon splashing him back.

"Hey, you can't do that!" Peter laughed.

"Says who?" Wendy questioned.

"Says me, that's who!"

"And why not, oh great and mighty one?" Wendy asked sarcastically. Peter cocked an eyebrow.

"Because I said so," Wendy rolled her eyes.

"Great reason," she muttered under her breath, even though Peter heard it but ignored it. She splashed him some more.

Up ahead of them was a heard of wild horses, galloping freely in a field. Wendy unclasped her hand and sped away and up to a gorgeous brown and white horse. She flew up next to it while it was still galloping and reached out to pet its head. The horse neighed from Wendy's gentle touch and she leaned down and whispered in its ear,

"Every turn's a surprise. Not that I'm complaining," Wendy giggled, petted the horse once more and flew directly upward. She joined hands with Peter again and he looked at her closely. She looked happy. So happy she'd be fit to burst: Her cheeks were a rosy pink, flushed with excitement. Her hair was windblown and tousled from the harsh weather she had just flown through. Her crystal blue eyes literally were like diamonds, sparkling with anticipation, wanting more. If it was one thing Wendy did not look it was sad and depressed. Peter loved to make people happy and with Wendy he had succeeded in doing so. That was his goal and he had reached it with satisfaction. If she was happy, Peter would definitely feel the same way.

Peter bowed to her in a gentleman fashion. "Well, milady. Shall we?" Wendy giggled. She has the best laugh, Peter thought.

"After you, good sir," Wendy said and she tried to do a curtsey but failed miserably. Instead she bowed as Peter had done and he laughed. Tink jangled irritably up above them and Peter tightened his grips on her hands.

"You better hold on tight, Wendy. It's going to be a bumpy ride." He said and Wendy nodded. The two of them looked up and they raced to the stars, led by Tink, going higher and higher until a cloud obscured them from view. When it passed, Tinkerbell, Peter Pan, and Wendy Darling were gone from the midnight sky.

Amanda sat wide-awake in her bed; fists clenched tight, jaw clamped shut and eyes red with anger. She was pissed, to put it simply. If someone were seeing this in a cartoon version, one would think that her ears would begin to smoke steam and her head would explode.

"Why? Why did she leave me? She promised..." Amanda whispered fiercely. During the middle of Wendy's leaving speech, Amanda had awoken but never opened her eyes. When she heard Wendy's voice and the words "Neverland", "leaving", "I'm sorry" and "goodbye", she knew Peter Pan had come and Wendy was going back with him.

Amanda threw off her covers, got out of bed, stormed over to the small pink diary that was on Wendy's bedside table, picked it up and threw it hard across the room. It soared in the air and hit the opposite wall that was next to the window with a SMACK. She whimpered like a lost little puppy and sank to her knees and cried. She sobbed and sniffed and hollered until she felt like her body was drained because she had never cried so much in her life.

When would the lies stop? Why couldn't Wendy just suck it up, face the truth and quit lying all the time? Amanda never, for one second, believed the fib Wendy had told when she said she had forgotten their bond agreement. It didn't matter what big sister said anymore, Amanda knew she wasn't telling the whole truth. The way her eyes darted back and forth and the way she kept fidgeting with her fingers practically shouted, "I'm lying! Look at me, the little two-faced liar!" Of course she never noticed when it was apparent to everyone else. Wendy was never a very good actress when it came to such a thing called lying and Amanda suspected she never would be.

The door to the bedroom opened with a creak and in shuffled little Mrs. Darling. Seeing her distressed youngest daughter in a heap on the floor, she pushed the door open further and ran to Amanda. The girl instantly latched on to her mother like her life depended on it and she began to cry again, but only a little. Mrs. Darling lifted Amanda's chin so that they were looking each other square in the eyes.

"Amanda, dearest what's wrong? Why are you out of bed?" Mrs. Darling asked calmly. The reason why she was up at this late hour was because she kept hearing continuous clanging noises...like swords.... When they stopped she fell silently back asleep but was awoken again by another noise. It was loud and sounded like a THUMP. So, seeing as how she did not like being awoken twice in one night and needed her "beauty sleep", she decided to investigate, leaving her husband snoring peacefully. Lucky.

"Mum, Wendy's gone and it's all my fault!" Amanda wailed. What in the world was she talking about? Wendy wasn't gone; she was right there sleeping. Mrs. Darling looked down confused at Amanda.

"Mandy, what-?" she looked toward Wendy's bed where the girl would usually be snuggled deep under the covers. But all she saw were blue pillows and a large dark green comforter pulled back. Mrs. Darling scrambled up and scurried over to the bed. Her face paled and she backed away slowly. "Scott...." She began to call. "Scott, get in here! SCOTT!" she yelled and she ran out of the nursery and back into her room. She shook her husband and he rolled over.

"Huh? Hwh-what's going on?" he asked groggily.

"Wendy's missing," Mrs. Darling said, standing over him. Mr. Darling sat bolt up right, fully awake.

"WHAT?! What do you mean "missing"?" Mr. Darling yelled.

"I mean she's gone, someone took out daughter! Oh, Scott what are we going to do?" Mrs. Darling stood back to let Mr. Darling out of bed. He did not answer her as he walked to the nursery only to find Amanda still on the floor. He knelt down next to her like Mrs. Darling did and put a comforting arm around her.

"Amanda, honey where's your sister?" Mr. Darling asked gently. She sniffed but did not look up as she had with her mother.

"She went somewhere. Somewhere far away," Amanda said.

"Like where?" Mr. Darling asked.

"She went with a boy," Amanda heard her mother gasp and this time she did look up. "Oh but he didn't take her against her will, Mum. She went on her own."

"On her own?" Mr. Darling repeated. "But what kind of a kidnapper does that? Just let them decide to be kidnapped,"

"She wasn't kidnapped!" Amanda shouted desperately. She stood up and walked over to the window and looked out of it. She sighed. "She went with Peter Pan to Neverland." Mr. Darling turned and looked at his wife.

"Wasn't Neverland...?" He pointed at her and she looked nervous.

"I'm calling the police," Mrs. Darling said, completely ignoring Mr. Darling's question. She walked out of the room again and down the hallway where she picked up the white cordless phone and dialed 9-1-1. "Yes, London police please," she waited patiently to be put through.

Meanwhile, Mr. Darling stood up slowly and walked over to Amanda, who was still at the window. She had her arms crossed and her face screwed up looking like she was about to cry again, but seemed to be holding it back. He sighed and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Why didn't you come to get us before? We could have stopped all of this," Mr. Darling said.

"How was I supposed to know what was happening? I was asleep. I don't blame her for leaving, either," Amanda muttered.

"What do you mean?" Amanda turned to look at her father.

"Couldn't you see she was miserable here? No friends, no one to hang out with her own age, and with mum constantly screeching at her it's a wonder she hasn't left sooner! You say you love Wendy, and I know you do, but you were always too busy with work or other things to even see that she was hurting," Amanda said. Mr. Darling looked shocked at this. Of course he paid attention to Wendy! She was his little girl, his pride and joy. His heart! He could never ignore her. Could he?

"Mandy, this doesn't make sense. You know I would never do anything like that to her. Or you. Is that what this is about? Are you jealous?" Mr. Darling asked. Amanda laughed.

"Me? Jealous? Over Wendy?! Dad, she was jealous of *me*. You never saw the look on her face whenever I got something and she didn't? You've never noticed how she always used to give me little side glares every time she would pass by me?" Mr. Darling shook his head. "Of course you didn't. Because you weren't around to see it. Any of it. I always felt bad, even if I did show that I was enjoying it. I always got all the attention, it was me, me, me. Never about Wendy, you and mum left her out to dry. Every time she had a birthday where were you? Where was mum? Every single special moment that went on in her life you ignored it and gave all the attention to me. Well I don't want it anymore. I'm sick and tired of being the good little girl, the evil sister. Next time you need to be out on a "business job", which you probably don't even get in the first place, think about what's best for your family instead of what's best for yourself."

And with that, Amanda pulled away from Mr. Darling, walked out of the room quietly, past Mrs. Darling, who did not notice because she was still on the phone with the police, and down the stairs where she resided in the living room for the rest of the night.
