Hello! Finally updating and this time it's a chapter! *gasp* Sorry for the long update time but now I sort of have a schedule which we all know I have tried before but failed hugely… Before I go any further the song for this chapter is… 'Midna's Lament/Desperate Hour' from the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess.
Before I go into the thank you's I have news, there shall be a sequel I'm making it official! I don't know what it will be called yet but I have a lot of ideas for what is going to happen in it! If any of you want to suggest any titles that would be fab and who knows maybe I'll use one.
Now here come the thank you's!
Dream Lighting – Thank you for sticking with me and my terrible updates, it means a lot!
xxBethJoyxx – Thank you for reviewing, following and adding Annabelle to your favourites! I'm glad you are enjoying it!
Alice-Hatter – Thank you for also adding Annabelle to your favourites!
Elle Rhii – Here's the next chapter! I'm glad you think it's amazing.
LouisLover802/Fan-Fiction-802 – It came up with two names so I got confused, so you get two for today! That is a really awesome coincidence! There will be more on Annabelle's and Selena's past coming up in either a few more chapters or in the sequel!
NeonCats – Thank you for following!
Well let's get this show on the road, here comes Chapter Thirteen!
As always I do not own Peter Pan or Neverland, but I do own Annabelle.
Chapter Thirteen: Home.
As my eyes opened I realised I was alone, not only that but it was also night. Had I really been passed out that long?
"Peter?" I whispered unsure of what lurks out there in the dark, I don't want to think what would happen if I encountered any of them.
"Peter?" This time my whisper was louder than expected causing me to cover my mouth, where was he? He told me he'd be right back.
"Peter!" What on earth has happened to him? Maybe he left to get help…but he wouldn't leave me here on my own surely? Especially at night. As much as I'm going to regret this, I'm going to have to shout aren't I?
"Peter! Where are you?"
"The pirates took him to the ship." A female voice appeared from the distance.
"They did? How do you know? Who are you?" Curiosity echoed my questions causing me to worry more about Peter.
"A spider captured him and Bonny saved him, I guess. He's now their prisoner. She demands answers on the Tree Spirits and the Kaw tribe. Although they fear Peter may not last the night, I'm sorry."
"He has to survive!" I choked on my words, Peter could die with no company except…Pirates. He's alone and in danger. I have to go. Anger slowly filled up my emotions. "Why didn't you help him! Who even are you?! Why did you only just watch as he got taken away… We need him." I hesitated "I need him."
"I know you do, I know you all do. I couldn't help because…" The female came out of the shadows "I'm a Tree Spirit, I'm Peters Tree Spirit Tinkerbelle. I wish I could have helped. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"It's you! You're the Tree Spirit from before!"
"Yes, I'm sorry Annabelle."
"Belle"
"Belle, I have to go now. I need to look after Peter. Good luck, be careful on your way up."
"You expect me to walk that alone? Are you crazy!"
"I never said you'd be alone, you never know who's watching over you. I'll see you again soon, sooner rather than later I hope."
"Where's Fox?"
"You'll know eventually."
"I need to know now!" I shouted into the darkness, she was no longer there.
"Fox?" I whimpered.
"It's gonna be okay Bee, I'm here."
"Where?"
"I can't say. If you see me it'll complicate our future."
"Fox…Please I need you." My voice cracked as a tear slowly trickled down my face.
"Shh, it's okay. I'm sorry." There was a moment of silence disrupted by twigs cracking and growling sounding nearby in the darkness.
"Belle. You've gotta get moving." Urgency ran in his voice.
"Why?"
"I'll explain in a minute, just get going! I'll protect you."
Before the growls got any closer I ran the majority of the way up the steep hill until the growling was only heard from the depths of the ravine.
"Okay, we're fine." Fox whispered "They can't get to this part."
"What was it?" I asked as I started walking up the hill.
"Neverland has a lot of strange animals, if you haven't guessed."
"Wow, really?" Sarcasm filled my voice as Fox chuckled.
"They were Wolves. Who were banished to the depths of the ravine."
"Why?"
"They used to run Neverland before the Tree Spirits took control. They were banished because every animal that was around them would be instantly killed or taken hostage. One bite will kill you because they have poison running through their veins which they pump into their prey. They keep hostages more now because they'd do anything to be the hierarchy of Neverland. One of those hostages could have been you then Belle."
"But they're Wolves. How can they keep hostages when they can't talk and don't even have hands."
"During the day they're humans. And the thoughts that were running through their heads just then, made me want to kill them myself." That last sentence made me feel sick. Fox has never acted or said anything like that, what if Neverland was changing him too. I tried to shake of the thought.
"Fox, since when could you read minds?"
"Since I died Annabelle. I can choose when or whose mind I read."
"Fox…you're acting strange. What's wrong?"
"I'm fine. Look we're nearly at the village so I've got to go. Goodbye Annabelle."
"Fox?"
Silence. Deathly silence. He didn't even say he loved me, something was wrong and I don't know when I'll know. The warmth in his voice that was always there just disappeared in a flash as hate took over.
"An – Annabelle?" A voice appeared up ahead, Fox wasn't kidding when he said we were close.
"Yes?"
A figure appeared a member of the Kaw tribe. He looked surprised at me being there.
"Wow! You're alive, come on we must head back home. Tiger Lily told us what happened, you're very brave."
