Chapter 11:
All I hear are shouts and cries surrounding me inward giving me a claustrophobic feeling. In the corners of my eyes I see either Peter or a lost boy, John, Michael or all of them fighting a pirate 3 times their size and winning leaving them badly injured not wanting to kill. Eventually one pirate attacks me and my fighting skills are pretty good until I lose my sword. After that I lose my balance and fall. Once I get hold of it the pirate is ready to kill me with his gun pointed at me. Just as the trigger pulls back a slice gets in the air followed by a sound of a puncture with skin and a wince. I look and see a dart has been lodged in his skin on his bicep and he falls down and behind him with the firing tube in her mouth Tiger Lily.
"Welcome back blue bird." She says with a smile in her face as she helps me up. "Thank you Tiger Lily." I say as I retrieve my sword. "Keep your eye on Hook I can't find him can you?" she asks "No I haven't watch out!" and a large pirate shadows over her and I push her out of the way and get stuck in another one on one battle. In a split second look to my right I see Tiger Lily trapped in a battle of her own. The clashing of our swords is not in sync with the other so there is always sound to be heard. This pirate does not seem to give up and fights harder than ever. Losing air I back up and feel the edge of the ship come in contact with my back. Just as he stabs I move out of the way so he is still in the lunging position while I am on his left side and is somewhat frozen there. I grab a plank of wood from behind me and give him a whack in the back but instead if him falling down the plank of wood cracks in half and the pirate does not move or flinch. He turns around and begins to laugh as faces me.
"Why can't you just fall?" I wine at him. "Because I am not letting a little girl throw me off!" He ends his comment with a smirk and fury lights up in my eyes. The sword is thrown at my face and I miss it by a sliver of an inch and grab it out of the wood and charge at him with a yell. He just stands there but then he breaks out into a run and his back slams into the flag post then I charge towards him in which I don't stop like a raging bull and the swords pin the fabric on his coat to the post and he just stares in shock.
"Once you find your way here to Neverland you never grow old so to you I will always be little to you." I say as I walk away from him.
The scene on the ship is still chaotic with kids and pirates and so far the kids are winning. "Wendy duck!" I hear and do so and when I look up I pirate is sent flying overboard and a rope filled with lost boys on it and the rope comes to a halt by my face. "Thanks boys where is Peter?" "I haven't seen him since he threw that one pirate overboard." Slightly says leaving me astonished. "What about the captain?" "Peter says he is after him now. Why do you ask?" Why did I ask that actually? My mind flows with ideas and I remember one thing about this experience as I would have called it…Hook can't fly. "I have an idea. Keep fighting them as long as they are distracted." and I run off into the battle zone. Surprisingly I don't get killed or wounded probably because I decide to go around when my path to the captain's quarters is blocked by a one on one fight. Going around the ship is much quieter but my plan comes to a brief halt when I realize no stairs are there to guide me up. I look up and see the window has a handle on the outside so I can easily open it but how do I get up? A quick glance to my right and I see a full rope and the blood in my brain boils.
"Thank you mom and dad." I say as I begin to tie the rope to be a lasso. After my brothers and I returned home from Neverland our parents put us in a survival course and self-defence classes that included sword handling just in case we slipped out that window again. I had a love/hate relationship to that but it certainly paid off tonight because I had the rope made into a lasso within 2 minutes. I got up and after 2 failed attempts third times the charm and the rope is around a hook. I press my feet against the ship and next thing you know I'm climbing up and my hand reaches the edge of the window and I pull myself up. The window is clear so I see the captain's quarters stay the same and no one is inside so I pull myself up and climb over the window and expecting to land on the floor with a thud and brace myself but I land on something soft.
I shoot up immediately and somehow I ended up falling onto a recliner that is goldish and brownish with pillows at the front. I get off of it and see everything is still the same as it was before. "Peter are you in here?" I whisper and hear nothing so I guess I'm on my own. Being weaponless all the weapons around me give me temptation but there is one I am wanting. I run to the table, open the box and see the sword still there not a print on it. I hold it and an aroma of power overcomes me and looking into the blade I see my blue eyes, then a flash of grey eyes followed by a flash of green eyes then mine again. I turn around ready to attack but see no one there and I make my way to the large window and look out at the sea. I see a lifeboat thrown into the water and then nothing exciting after that. Although something comes towards the window and when it reaches the window I see Peter. He smiles at me and puts his hand against the window and I do the same. I hold up the sword and his grin grows wider. But then fades as he mouths something I can't make out and flies up. My eyes follow him and worry fills my thoughts and something moves my hair from my back to my shoulders. I feel something glide on my chest I look down and see my thimble and the clip snaps. How? Who?
