Peter took my hand in his and led me off the pirate ship. The Lost Boys who had been traveling on foot had just gotten to the shore when Peter and I flew past them and into the forest. Juan grunted and the twins fell over. They were exhausted. Sean ran back into the forest with some Lost Boys but Chris, Juan, Ben, and George all sat on the beach too tired to move. Juan fell asleep after a while and the Lost Boys all ran off without him. When Juan woke up, he nearly started bawling when he saw everyone left him.
"They left me!!!! Those jerks left me!!!! Guys!!!! Wait up!!!!" Juan shouted and ran head over heels into the forest.
I sat on top of the Home Under the Ground and watched for the Lost Boys. Tink was flying about busily and was waiting to scare Conner. Peter had gone inside a while ago to fall asleep but was having no luck at all. He tossed and turned in bed but couldn't find a comfortable spot. I walked inside the tree and into my room. Good God! What did Peter do?
"PETER!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY ROOM? WHY ARE MY CLOTHES SPRAWLED ON THE FLOOR AND WHY IS MY SECRET….. PETER!!!!!!!" I screamed. I stormed out of the room holding my underwear in one hand and the key to my secret door in the other. He looked at both a turned dark red. Peter was seriously embarrassed. Anyone could have seen that. I slowly walked toward him and raised my underwear high over my head. Peter starred at it curiously but only for a spilt second because I whipped him across the chest with it. He cried out and clutched his chest.
"ACK! I'm dying! Spread my legend Sara…. Don't forget me…." Peter murmured and fell to the ground. Wow. Good acting. Must have done theater before he came to Neverland. I kicked lightly.
"Peter get up its not working. You can't fool me." I said.
"Really?" Peter asked sulkily. He realized he blew his cover and started silently cursing to himself. I laughed at him and helped him to his feet.
"Jeez Peter. You need to stop being such a Drama….. King! Yeah, that's it! Drama King!" I exclaimed.
"Drama King?" Peter asked mockingly.
"You know. Like Drama Queen only for a boy it's Drama King." I explained. Peter looked at me like I had six heads and then rolled his eyes and walked into his room. Score one Peter. Zero for me. Salmakia sat on the ground. She looked like a sphinx except she didn't have a mans head. Her head was between her paws and she looked at me with heavy eyes. She must have been exhausted after the long last two nights we had had on the pirate ship. Just as I was about to talk to her, Sean came bursting into the room holding a sword and a scroll. I looked at him curiously and he smiled wide.
"What's that?" I asked pointing at the scroll. Sean handed it to me and dropped his sword on the ground.
"It's a treasure map! Let's go find the treasure! Oh please Sara can we?" Sean pleaded. I opened up the scroll and examined it. It was a treasure map and it was right here in Neverland. What luck! After a night of dealing with pirates now we get to act like pirates and hunt for treasure. What fun.
"I'll ask Peter." I said and turned to leave for Peter's room. But before I could push the curtains back to get in, Peter jumped out of the room holding a sack and a sword.
"Let's go hunt for treasure!" Peter yelled. He crowed loudly and flew about the room. My face brightened with happiness. But it quickly dulled down as I saw that there were no other Lost Boys with Sean.
"Peter. We can't go yet. Sean left behind the other Lost Boys and I'm sure they want to get in on this." I said. Peter stopped flying and stood beside me.
"Oh fine. Let's wait for the others." Peter said and sat cross legged on the floor. I sat next to him and pulled Sean down with me.
"So what should we do now?" Sean asked.
"I have an idea." I said and walked over to the nearest candle. I blew it out and did the rest with all the others, all except one. The one candle that was still lit I took and brought over to Peter and Sean. I placed in the middle and told them to join hands. Sean looked skeptical but Peter was all for it.
"We are going to contact the dead. Beware. One of us is going to be possessed." I said evilly.
"The dead…." Peter and Sean stuttered together. I simply nodded and held Peter's hand tight.
"OH SPIRITS OF THE GREAT BEYOND! SPEAK TO US! WE ONLY WANT TO KNOW OF THE WONDERS OF THE DEAD!" I yelled. There was a sound that was a lot like a dial tone and then came a voice.
"Who would you like to speak to and what purpose?" asked the voice.
"Get me Captain James Hook! Tell him it's Peter! I need to tell him something!" Peter yelled into the air.
"Ok let me get him for you. One sec." the voice said and then all was silent. All of a sudden the candle blew out and there was a terrible moan. Possessing time! My heart started to throb as I felt my head turn numb. My hair stood on end as the cold reached my breast. Then my arms. Now it was at my legs. Finally it was at my toes and I blacked out. My body fell unconscious but something was lifting me up. It wasn't me but a ghost. There came a raspy growl from my throat but not from me. It was Hook. No doubt in what was left of my mind.
Hook? Is that you? I thought.
The one and only. Came Hooks voice. My body stood up and I felt my arm reach for Peter's throat.
Get out of my mind! Get out of my mind! I screeched. All of a sudden, I felt a piercing pain run up my spine. I was still in there but I couldn't say anything. I couldn't do anything. All I could do was feel and think. Nothing more and nothing less. Peter was terrified but he kept calm and looked deep into my eyes. He must have seen Hook because his face twisted into an unimaginable shape.
"Hook. Why did you take Sara's body?" Peter asked.
"Because I wanted your love to kill you!" came Hooks voice. The little consciousness I had was pounding at Hook's mind.
Get out! You can't! I won't let you kill Peter! No no no! Get out of my body. I screamed. My body lurched forward as I landed a blow on Hook.
"I must admit. The girl puts up a strong fight. But I'm not done with her body yet. Now then, why did you call me?" Hook said.
"YOU HAD A SON!!!! SINCE WHEN?" Peter yelled. Hook grinned.
"Since before I came to Neverland. And now he's come for vengeance? Well, I applaud him greatly. But if that's all then I'm going back." Hook said. Slowly, I felt myself regain strength as Hook left. My body warmth returned and soon I was fully awake. I looked around nervously. It was clear, I was back. Peter greeted me with a warm hug and Sean pecked me on the cheek. I smiled brightly and walked over to Salmakia. She was sound asleep and lying on her side. Best not to wake her. Tink came out of Peter's room and sat on Peter's shoulder. Suddenly, there came a shout from the compartment at the top of the house. I ran over to the door for the compartment and opened it up as well as getting the mattress. From all sides of the Home came the Lost Boys. Some landed on the mattress while other went down the slides. Two of the Lost Boys that went down the slide ended up tumbling into each other and bonking heads. I counted the number of kids in the room. Yup, everyone was here.
"Ok! Who wants to go treasure hunting?!!!! Anyone who doesn't come has to clean the house!" I shouted. All the Lost Boys gathered around, as well as Peter and Tink. Salmakia was just waking up and slowly strutted over to my side and leapt into my arms. Tink flew over the Lost Boys, sprinkling her dust. The Lost Boys floated in the air and then took off into the wilderness followed by me and Peter. This should be interesting.
