Chapter 14: A Fight for Power Part One.
Thank you all for your reviews, and adds...I got some crazy cool ideas and fight scenes coming up, so stay wit me!
The next morning….
Peter stirred and yawned as he rubbed his eyes. Peter smiled as he savored the warmth of the mink blanket and Wendy's body heat. Wendy laid with her head on his chest and her arm draped around him. Peter hugged her and inhaled the sweet smell of her hair as he squeezed her tight.
"You'll never keep her." Arizaels voice whispered in his ear. "In fact, when I get my hands on you again, you won't live long enough to even worry about her." Arizael threatened and Peter furrowed his brows.
"You're dead Witch!" Peter whispered out loud.
"No, I'm very, very much alive, and I will get my revenge on you, Nibs, Wendy…..and Captain Hook." Arizael informed and Peter pushed Wendy aside and hopped out of the bed.
Snatching up the dagger that was on the night stand he said. "Where are you Witch?!" He spat as he pointed the dagger in the air and did a slow 360 degree turn.
"You really want to know pretty boy?" Arizael asked sweetly. "Do you reeeeaaallllly want to know?" Arizael taunted in an eerie voice and Peter's heart rate accelerated as his eyes rapidly scanned the room.
"I'm not sure you're ready for what your asking for…..I know another one of your weeaknessesssss" Arizael hissed evilly.
Peter swallowed as he felt his body begin to perspire and a strange feeling wash over him. His chest began to heave in anticipation of her pouncing on him at any moment.
"What is this?" Peter asked himself in regards to the strange feeling; it felt like cold shivers going down his spine, and every hair on his body seemed to stand as a strong sensation of anxiety gripped him.
"Come out Witch!" Peter demanded. Suddenly, from the corner of his eye he saw a figure slowly sit upright in the bed; with the blanket over its head.
Peter snapped his head towards the bed. "Wendy, get up, that Witch is here some where!" Peter blurted but the figure did not respond.
"Wendy!" Peter whispered through his teeth and she still didn't respond.
He hopped in the bed and snatched off the blanket.
"Raaahhhh!" Arizael growled and she was clad in her true form. Black and shiny, with bulging yellow eyes, razor sharp teeth, a long bent up nose, a wart covered face, thinning hair and prune like skin.
"AHHHHHHH!" Peter screamed wide eyed as he recoiled back.
Her tongue came slithering out of her mouth towards his face and Peter quickly turned and tried to leap out of the bed but Arizael reached out and grabbed him by his face.
Her fingers wrapped around his head and she pushed him into the pillow. With one hand, Peter grabbed for her wrist to try to get her hand off his face, and with the other, he jammed the dagger into her chest and she laughed.
"Its fear! And it makes you weak!" Arizael spat as she straddled him. Peter snatched the dagger out of her chest and cut severed her hand at the wrist and she pulled back the stump and laughed harder.
Peter ripped her hand off his face and wildly tossed it aside and quickly punched her in her face.
"Ahhh ah ha ha ha!" Arizael cackled as her head went back and Nibs came bursting through the door.
"Peter!" P-" Nibs screamed, but the atrocious sight of Arizael cut him off.
Arizae's head wickedly turned towards him with an evil smile and bulging eyes. "YOU!! I want YOOOUUUUU!!" She rasped evilly and Peter quickly stabbed her in the throat with the dagger and Arizael, by reflex, backhanded him with all her might.
"WHAM!"
Peter's body twisted from the intensity of the blow, and he was out cold.
Arizael got off of him and pulled the blade out of her neck. "I think I know your weakness too…." She rasped and Nibs swallowed then ran to her but his fear slowed him down….
Arizael cocked back her fist and decked him so hard, that his body slammed into the wall and made an indentation.
"Ahhh!" Nibs cried as intense pain exploded in his face and body.
Nibs fell from the wall onto his back and pieces of plaster fell on his face and body. He laid on his back with one arm bent at a 90 degree angle beside his head, while the other was outstretched over his head.
Nibs panted fearfully with his eyes open and a worried look on his face.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaaa." Arizael laughed evilly as she strolled over to him.
She stood over his head and Nibs immediately kicked his legs high over his head and his feet landed in the center of her chest.
"Pow!"
Arizael laughed as she stumbled backwards.
Nibs used the momentum and flipped upright, then quickly did a backwards roundhouse kick to her face, and she hit the wall.
Thump! "Ahhh haaa ha ha! There's no strength!" Arizael bellowed and in a flash she did a three hit combo...two jabs to Nibs chest with each fist and one uppercut.
"WHAM!"
The force of her strength knocked him into the ceiling. When he fell, she caught him in mid air with a power ball to his chest; it threw him across the room. His body crashed violently into the mirror that hung over the dresser; he then fell on top of the dresser and rolled on to the floor.
"Ha! I knocked you on you're a twice! Shall we try for a third time?" Arizael hollered.
Nibs was on his back again. He panted and grit his teeth as he reached his hand over his head and rolled on his side. The glass that was on his face slid off and Nibs rolled on his belly and tried to get up. "Why the heck does this hurt so badly? I can't get up fast enough." Nibs strained within himself and saw Arizael's grotesque feet running towards him.
"Emmmm" Nibs grunted as he pushed himself up on all fours. Instantly a white light beamed from Nibs fist to his elbow; he lashed his arm out to the side and a white arc came spinning out of it and it hit Arizael in the chest.
"Ahhh! Oh…. Oh…..quite a discovery!" Arizael spat wide eyed with sarcasm as the arc dissipated, having no effect whatsoever.
"I can smell….nay….taste your fear….or maybe its both." Arizael rasped and Nibs whimpered, his face looked like a frightened child.
Arizael zipped up to him and grabbed a handful of his hair and violently yanked his head back making his back arch.
"Ahhh!" Nibs cried and saw her lean into his face and he quickly snapped his mouth shut.
"Your afraid!" Arizael said as she got in his face. Nibs fist went ablaze and he tried to hit her with his forearm but she grabbed his fist.
"Uh uh uhhhh…no, no, no…we'll not be having any of that naughty boy." Arizael reprimanded as she kept a tear jerking grip on his hair and Nibs strained to get his fist free.
Arizael chuckled as she continued to hold on and then she opened her mouth. Her disgusting tongue came slithering out and it wildly lapped away at Nibs face and he screamed through pursed lips.
Arizael continued to laugh and lap away at his face as she applied more pressure to his fist, and it began to crack as the blaze went out and Nibs held his breath.
Peter came to and sprung up in the bed.
"Don't fear her Nibs!" He screamed as he cranked his arm behind him and swung it in an arc across his body with all his might. A firey red arc flew at her, and right before it got to her body, it split in two and spun. Arizael never had a chance to move.
Swooosh cling, cling, cling cling- The sounds of interchanging blades echoed in the air and…. splat!!" Arizael's body was severed in half, at the waist.
Thump, thump. The two halves fell to the floor and……
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" Peter and Nibs sat up in their beds screaming hysterically in unison.
Wendy's eyes popped open "Ahhhhhhh!" she screamed as she sat up in her bed. Wendy looked at Peter sitting there screaming and it was the longest scream she had ever heard.
Layla had leapt out of the bed and fell on the floor; seeing Nibs sitting straight up in his bed screaming ripped the sound right out of her mouth, leaving her horror stricken.
When Wendy saw there was nothing to scream about she shut her mouth and shook Peter but he kept screaming. She ran to the bathroom and snatched up a bucket of soaps and dumped it, then quickly filled it up with water. She ran down the hall and back to the room and tossed the water into his face.
Peter instantly snapped out of it. He wiped his face and looked around wildly as his chest heaved out of control.
Wendy panted from her running, and her eyes shot over to the door that connected the rooms; she heard Nibs still screaming.
Wendy bolted out of the room and refilled the bucket. She ran down the hall and through her room, kicked open the door and tossed the water into Nibs face.
Nibs gasped then fell backwards on the bed and started to wheeze.
Layla was still sitting on the floor with her hand over her mouth awe struck.
"Layla snap out of it and take care of him!" Wendy screamed and Layla continued to sit.
Wendy threw the bucket; it hit Layla in the head and she snapped out of her trance.
"Oh my gosh what the heck?" Layla said and sprang to her feet. Wendy ran back to Peter's room and saw him sitting in the bed hugging his knees and rocking himself.
"It was a dream or was it? A dream or was it? A dream or was it? A dream or was it?" Peter deliriously repeated over and over until he sounded like a broken record.
"Peter…..it was a dream, just a dream." Wendy said as she cautiously stood by his bed side.
Peter kept his eyes wide as his faced looked terrified. "I saw the most ugliest of things….I never knew something so…..horrifying could….be." Peter said, his voice sounded shaken.
Wendy furrowed her brows and then took a step closer and reached out for him.
"NIBS!!" Peter screamed and started up his hysterics again and Wendy pursed her lips. "I have no choice." She said to herself as she took a step back then turned her body to the side a bit.
"Peter stop screaming." Wendy said calmly but Peter kept screaming Nibs name.
"Niiiiiiiibbbbbbbbbbbbssssssssssssss!!" Peter clenched his eyes shut and screamed and Wendy smacked him in the face with all her might and knocked him off the bed.
"CRACK!"
The scream was snatched from Peter's lips when her hand connected with his cheek, and he hit the floor startled.
Wendy took a few steps back and Peter pushed himself up on his hip and looked at her ferociously.
Without saying a word he got to his feet and walked past her to see about Nibs.
Wendy scratched her head as a look of confusion washed over her beautiful features. She blinked her thickly lashed lids a few times then followed Peter.
While that went on, Layla had hopped in the bed and put her arm behind Nibs neck and sat him upright. Nibs sat up and his head flopped forward as did his long hair.
"Nibs….Nibs are you alright." Layla breathed as she wrapped her arm around his neck and used her hand to prop his chin up. With her free hand she pushed the hair out of his sweaty face and Nibs cut his eyes at her.
"What happened? Your hearts beating out of your chest." Layla breathed, for she could hear his heart pounding.
Getting no answer she glanced down, and the red marks on his chest caught her eye. Layla gasped as she pressed her fingers on Nibs chest and he hissed.
"What is that?" Layla asked as she ran her fingers over the red marks.
There was one on each side, and as she examined them more, she concluded that they were bruises from someone's knuckles.
Layla's eyes grew wide.
"She broke my hand." Nibs mumbled as he lifted his arm and placed it in his lap.
Layla's mouth dropped as she looked down, his hand was balled up into a fist with black and blue blots here and there.
"Who Nibs? Who broke your hand?" Layla asked. Nibs shifted and supported his weight.
She removed her arm from around his neck as Nibs held up his head and kept his gaze at his hand.
Layla adjusted herself so she sat Indian style, still beside him, and she decided to soothe him by rubbing his back.
As she reached her hand towards him, her eyes fell on the many bruises that marred his back.
Layla gasped and pressed her hand against him in shock and Nibs arched his back as he grit his teeth. "Ahhh." Nibs grunted in pain and she quickly snatched away.
"You didn't see her? You didn't hear her?" Nibs asked Layla as he looked around the room, that's when Peter walked in followed by Wendy.
"Are you ok?" peter blurted wide eyed, then his eyes directly on his balled up fist.
Peter's eyes grew wide and Nibs looked at him with his brows turned up. "You saw her too?" Nibs whispered and Peter's face went blank as he ran to his bed side and grabbed his wrist to inspect his hand.
"I need you two to leave….. please." Peter said and the two ladies left the room.
Peter looked at Nibs chest and ran his fingers over the bruises to inspect them as well, and Nibs continued to look at him.
Nibs looked at Peter's nose and noticed the dried blood and the red bruise that covered the side of his nose and mouth.
"You saw her?" Nibs breathed and Peter didn't know how to answer the question. He couldn't decide whether he wanted to tell the truth or tell a lie. For he felt Nibs fear, and he never knew Nibs could fear anything.
Peter was also startled by his own fear, for the only time he actually felt fear, was when Wendy was holding him in midair while he was paralyzed.
Peter saw how Arizael used Nibs fear against him and discovered the same thing she discovered. That fear makes them weak.
Peter glanced at Nibs face and then stood from the bed.
"You seen her didn't you!" Nibs asked louder and Peter nodded his head.
"I don't know what your talking about….seen who?" Peter asked dumbly, he didn't want Nibs walking around in fear of Arizael actually being alive, so he continued the deception.
Nibs eyes grew wide and Peter slowly turned his head away from him, for it was very hard for him to lie.
"Her, Her! You saw that ugly beast! You were with me, I felt you! We dreamed the same dream." Nibs cried wide eyed and Peter shook his head again.
"I don't know who you're talking about Nibs, you just had a bad dream." Peter said simply and Nibs had a look of shock as he raised his arm.
"Is this a bad dream? How do you explain this?" Nibs spat as he grew angry.
Peter looked at him through the corner of his eye. "You tell me, I came in here and found you like this…..how am I supposed to know?" Peter said softly as he kept his head turned away.
"How do you explain your face!" Nibs hollered and Peter quickly found an answer.
"I fell out of bed looking for you." Peter lied simply and kept his head turned.
"Arizael was here….or I dreamed about her…." Nibs rasped angrily and Peter turned his back on his second in-command.
"Which one is it? She was here, or wasn't she?" Peter asked simply as he opened the door and walked away.
"Is he serious? Is he really serious?" Nibs said out loud then he eased himself out of the bed. He limped over to the dresser, picked up the healing salts with his good hand, and then made his way to the bathroom.
As Nibs made his way down the hall he walked up on one of the bathrooms and heard Peter gagging.
Peter had gone straight to the bathroom to dispose of the bile that had formed in his throat while he was talking to Nibs.
Images of Arizael's true form flashed in his Peter's mind again and again. Memories of what she did to him; how she forced herself on him, replayed in his mind again and again.
Peter hurled until there was nothing left to hurl and he slouched against the wall in front of the toilet. Nibs pushed the door open and it swung and slammed against the wall as he stood in the doorway.
Peter weakly turned his head towards Nibs with a distraught look on his face. Nibs stood there brooding with a straight face, his jaw set.
Then Nibs spoke to Peter's mind. "You can't lie to me….you saw her and you know it." Nibs said and Peter breathed heavily then closed his eyes and turned away from him.

Everyone bathed and dressed themselves then went out for breakfast, because Layla didn't feel like cooking.
They sat at a booth in a diner on the corner and dined for three hours. Layla had to keep tipping the waitress each hour because they worked the poor woman to death. Peter and Nibs never said a word to each other but Wendy and Layla chatted away.
Every now and then Nibs would glare at Peter through his straight black brows, long lashes and bangs while Peter would cut his dark green eyes away from Nibs and act like he couldn't see him.
After a few hours of that, Nibs finally spoke. "You're a liar Pan." Nibs abruptly accused. And the girls turned their attention to the boys, their faces questioning.
Peter glared at Nibs through his brows and thick lashes; and his pursed lips twitched.
Nibs hazel eyes went into angry accusing slits "You know you saw her." Nibs said firlmly and Peter continued to glare. "Saw-who?" Peter asked firmly.
"Yeah, saw who Nibs?" Wendy asked as she tilted her head to the side and her hair fell off her shoulders. Wendy was sitting besides Nibs and across from Peter, while Layla sat besides Peter and across from Nibs.
Nibs stared into Peter's eyes and his eyes dilated and Peter quickly tried to break eye contact, but Nibs held him there as he tried to get into his mind.
Peter slowly forced his eyes to look upward as he tried to break away from Nibs beaming eyes. "The truth is in there, you're such a bad liar." Nibs rasped and Peter managed to blink. Peter shut his eyes as he turned his head away.
Peter kept his eyes closed and put his hand over his eyes and bowed his head.
"You know, you shouldn't try to do that until I get my essence back…that hurt." Peter said simply as he rubbed his eyes and kept his head rested in his hand.
"Yea, I can't wait till you get it back, so I won't have to save you from that monster…..you can save yourself." Nibs spat as he stood from the booth and stormed off.
Wendy's brows raised and she turned to Peter.
Layla raised her finger in the air "Check Please."

Meanwhile………
The man that the nefarious Captain Hook struck a bargain with, had went over to the police department and walked right into the sheriff's office with a sealed envelope.
"Good afternoon Sheriff." The man rasped and the Sheriff jumped in her chair, for she was on her computer and didn't see him come in.
She snapped her head up and rolled away from the computer monitor and stood. "Who the hell are you?" She asked firmly with a cigarette between sun dried lips.
"Simply an informant….and a friend of Bob and Joe." The man rasped as he took a seat in the chair that was in front of her desk.
"Oh yes….they were two of my best detectives…." The Sheriff said as she took her seat and took a drag from her cigarette.
"As my loyal friends went into their unfortunate coma's…..they left this information with me….I know you have use for it, for we have mutual goals." The man said silkily as he handed her the envelope.
The Sherrif took the envelope from his cold hands and broke the seal. She reached in and pulled out its contents.
"Gasp….the evidence. I thought this was lost." The Sheriff said as she laid out the pictures of Peter, Nibs, Alec, Wendy, Layla, and John.
"I saw this boy at the hospital; he was the one I tried to apprehend." She pointed to Nibs picture. "And this one, he was in the bed, and so was she!" The Sheriff said as she pointed to Peter and Wendy.
"These troublemakers were right under our noses!" She said then slammed her fist in the desk. "We could have had them." She rasped as she seethed.
"They would make us…..very rich…..and powerful people. If you haven't noticed…they are special." The man pointed.
"Oh yes I've seen and I've heard…so what do you want?" She asked.
"I just want to tell you where to find them, and then we can work out the specs later." The man said coolly as he handed her a paper with Layla's address.

After the incident at the diner, the teens caught up with Nibs and headed back to the mansion on foot. The day went on and the couples broke off and did their own thing.
At sunset Peter was standing on the balcony overlooking the property when Nibs walked up behind him.
Peter quickly turned and Nibs stood there with a half smile on his face. "Are you ready? I wouldn't put it past Hook to come by tonight, and it will be dark soon." Nibs asked and Peter sighed. "Yea."
Nibs extended his hand. "Take my hand." He said and Peter took it and Nibs quickly kicked him in the stomach.
Pow!
"Ahhh!" Peter cried as the pain surged through his body and he doubled over and tried to snatch away from Nibs.
Nibs pulled Peter's arm high above his head to make him stand straight and Peter stood and looked at him. A wave of pain washed over his face, and then anger mixed with understanding. Peter tried to conceal these emotions but they got the best of him.
Nibs stared at his face and knew Peter was lying. "Your not fighting back…..you must know you deserved that…..and much more." Nibs said as he jerked Peter's arm and Peter pursed his lips and stood on his tip toes, for Nibs was a few inches taller than him.
Peter looked Nibs in the eyes "Later Nibs…." He said simply. "We can talk about it later, right now-" Peter stopped and furrowed his brows as he twisted his wrist out of Nibs grasp.
"We need to focus on Hook and getting my essence back. Neverland needs us." Peter reasoned and Nibs softened a bit then went back on the offensive.
He furrowed his brows and looked Peter firmly in his face. "Did you see her?" Nibs asked simply and Peter stared at him for a few moments and his lips parted.
"You can't lie, don't become a liar, it's not like you…..and you suck at it." Nibs reasoned and Peter closed his eyes and exhaled.
Nibs leaned in and grabbed the back of Peter's neck. Peter snapped his eyes open and Nibs whispered in his ear. "She was hideous wasn't she?…..And you had sex with her….again and again." Nibs breathed, his voice taunting Peter. "Just imagine that beast riding you….screeeaaaming and moooaaaning as she runs her slimy hands aalll- over you…"Nibs spat and Peter cringed.
Nibs grabbed Peter by the jaw and turned his head towards him and Peter's eyes went into slits. They were nose to nose now.
"That's why you were throwing up….because you SAW her!" Nibs yelled in Peter's face and Peter scrunched up his face and snatched away from him.
Peter took a few steps back, his face clearly disturbed. "Yes I saw her! Ok?! I saw her!" Peter yelled and Nibs quickly punched him in the mouth.
"Pow!"
Peter's face snapped to the side; his mouth hung open as he clenched his eyes shut and furrowed his brows.
"Then why did you lie to me!" Nibs growled. "Why did you try to make me think I was crazy?! How could you Peter?!" Nibs snapped livid and Peter wiped the blood off the side of his mouth as he straightened himself.
Peter furrowed his brows and looked down. "It was to protect you. Your afraid of her and she knows it….I know it.. And she completely beat you're a, and mine, because I was scared too. I never saw you loose a fight like that before. So, I didn't want you walking around fearing that she is alive, until we could do something about it." Peter explained and Nibs softened again and looked away.
"What's it gonna take Peter?" Nibs asked annoyed and freaked out at the same time.
Peter looked into his face and barred his teeth. "Getting my essence back, now give me some of your power already, and we'll deal with her when its time." Peter said sternly as he held out his hand.
Nibs eyes began to burn a bright hazel as he held his hand over Peter's.
Nibs hand went ablaze as a red spinning orb emitted from his palm and hovered over Peter's palm. The spinning ball grew larger until it was the size of their hands and Nibs pushed it down into Peter's hand.
The blazing orb touched Peter's skin and his eyes burned bright hazel as well, and shockwaves of Nibs power extended from the palm of his hand and spread all over his body.
Once the blazing orb was fully absorbed by Peter, Nibs continued to pour more of his strength into Peter by rapidly dropping smaller orb's into his hand. Peter's body shined bright red as they stood in a trance.
Wendy and Layla were spying on them the entire time and they couldn't take their eyes off of them.
"Did you ever wonder…..what they are?" Layla whispered and Wendy nodded "All the time." with her mouth agape.
"There not even human…..and I don't have a problem with that. But sometimes….I wonder….what they really look like under that skin." Layla stammered wide eyed.
"I hope human….I try to get close so Peter can tell me, but he always shuts me out…..you?" Wendy asked as she continued to stare.
"I haven't even tried. I just get that vibe that NIbs won't answer if I ask." Layla said.
"Well when he gets his essence back and everything is under control I'm going to ask." Wendy said firmly.
"Ask what? If he's a monster under there?" Layla asked dumbly.
"Something like that…but…I want to know his secrets and I'm tired of waiting." Wendy said as they stood and walked away.
Once Peter and Nibs were done they sought after the girls. Peter and Nibs ate another burly meal, then, just like a teenager, they got bored…..
The last bit of the sun had just set……..
Nibs and Layla headed over to the barn to tend to her horse, Peter went to the indoor pool for a swim, and Wendy went into the bedroom and decided to check up on her mother.
None of the teens were aware that quite a few set of eyes were watching them.
Hook's crazy forget-me-not blues scanned the property then he turned his head to the burly man and said "Your main prize is in the barn, where you will have a chance to avenge Big's death. Send some of your men after Pan and I will go for Wendy myself. If he gets past your men, he will come for Wendy, and I will be waiting for him. Once you subdue Nibs, bring him and meet me in the house."
The man smiled. "What about the police?"
"They should arrive just in time to get in the way- should the children overpower us….I know that cop woman wants revenge as well." Hook answered.
"Yes she does, and she won't hesitate to take them down." The man said and Hook smiled then they all scattered towards the mansion.
In the barn………
Nibs stood by with his hands in his pockets, he wore a pair of black cargo pants tucked inside of some black boots, a black long sleeved t-shirt, and that black utility belt that hung from his hips, and it was full of weapons.
Nibs watched Layla bend over, and as she did so, he admired her firm backside. He watched her body move as she picked up a wad of hay, walk over and toss it over the fence so the horse could eat it.
"That's a nice looking horse, you ride it much?" Nibs asked as he walked up beside her.
"Her name's Ella, I used to ride just about every day. That is, before I left." Layla answered as she stroked the horse's face.
Nibs stroked the other side of the horse's face, and the horse enjoyed the nice treatment from the teens…. until it sensed something.
"All of the girls have horses, and we used to race them for fun." Layla smiled as she reached for the horse's hair.
The horse breathed and threw its head up as it stomped its feet.
"What is it girl?" Layla asked concerned.
The horse saw the vampires creep into the barn and silently crawl up the walls and hide on the ceiling.
The horse began to make noises and wildly pace around it its fenced in area.
"What's wrong with her?" Nibs asked simply as he watched the horse act up.
"Something's bothering her….I wonder what could disturb her so?" Layla answered as she pushed her hair behind her ears. "Come on girl, want to go out?"
The horse hollered and stood up on its hind legs and continued to make noise and bang on the walls.
The poor horse was trying to alert them. For the ceiling was crowding up with vampires, and the teens were oblivious to it.
……………………………………………..
Peter skinny dipped in the pool then swam over to the corner where the spa jets were. He closed his eyes and laid his head on the head rest, then sank down to his chin and relaxed in the bubbles.
Moments later about ten vampires crept in and silently low-crawled along the floor, and slid into the pool with him.
The extra bodies in the water made the water ripple and wash over Peter's face.
Peter snapped his eyes open, then sat up and looked around. There were ripples in the water but that was it. Not seeing a cause for alarm, he laid back down and closed his eyes.
More vampires creped into the room and hid behind the fancy sofa, chairs, and even the towel rack. While others accumulated on the ceiling.
…………………………………………………
Wendy was sitting in her room with her back turned to the door, talking to her mother on her cell phone……
"Yes mother, everything is alright……"
"Peter's fine….."
"We'll be going back shortly…."
"Yes mother…..yes mother…..ok mother….." Wendy answered.
Peter (Hook) maliciously pushed the door open with his foot while Wendy carried on her conversation.
"creeeeeek" The door made an eerie sound as it slowly opened and he stepped in with is head hung low. He glared at her through his straight brows; his eyes red and dilated with a thin ring of bright green around it.
"Are you still thinking about selling the house?"
"No you can't mother…..its been in our family for generations how can you sell it?"
"I will buy it then….." Wendy said angrily as she stood and glanced at Peter who approached her very slowly. She kept on with her heated conversation and stood in front of the mirror and ran her fingers through her long tresses as she listened.
"Don't worry about where I'll get the mon-"
"I have some saved!" Wendy shouted and Peter stood behind her and placed his hands on her waist.
Wendy was too furious and into her conversation to bother regarding him. She continued to stand in the mirror but she was looking down while she listened to her mother give reason why she wanted to sell the mansion.
"But they're not after- when did- did anyone come by the house since then?" Wendy spat and Peter slowly creeped his hands around her waist and held her.
"Peter not now!" Wendy snapped but Peter didn't let go.
Wendy grabbed his wrist with her free hand and tried to pry him off, but he wouldn't budge, he just held her tighter.
"H- Hold on mother." Wendy said annoyingly, rolled her eyes, and looked up into the mirror.
"Peter cant you see that……." Wendy trailed off as her eyes fell on Peter's horrifying reflection.
An exceedingly wicked smile crept over his mouth, as his lips curled back they exposed his razor sharp jaws, and Wendy dropped the phone.
Ha Ha! How's that for a cliffhanger. I always lie when I try to give snippets, but the one I gave last chapter will happen. Well I don't lie, but my muse always adds things to the story. The second part of this chapter is on is on its way. But I won't post it until yall review. Come on, show me some love, the story is now where near over.
