Chapter 14: Remembering Home
Peter felt like he was in complete harmony when Wendy touched his lips and shared her feelings with him, it was almost like magic. He felt like he was finally at peace, that there was no dark force that could touch him, like he could do anything, like he was in love.
"Pan your pink" he heard Hook say
"I'm in love" he happily said back, he felt like there was not a thing Hook could say to him that could possibly bring him down and just then he started to feel the power surging through him, he opened his eyes as he was quickly starting to feel stronger, stronger then he ever felt before. He looked up at Hook who looked at him in complete shock and out of nowhere Peter let out a loud scream, a scream which had more power then Long Tom could even dish out.
All the pirates were quickly blown all over the place, while everyone quickly ducked and grabbed on to something Slightly having warned them all to brace themselves. Wendy lay on the floor giggling and watching as pirates were blown all over the place, all the others were memorized by the site. John and Michael were both lying next to Emily, John turned to her, "he has he ever done this before?" he asked loudly.
"No" Emily screamed back
"I wonder what else he can do" Michael said
"I think we are about to find out" John said looking at Peter who just then shot up into the sky.
Peter closed his eyes with a big smile completely taking in the moment; he then turned to Hook who had been thrown back into the rigging thanks to Peter's little sonic boom and was trying to untangle to himself, when he looked up Peter had appeared in front of him.
"Allow me to help you captain" Peter told him punching him in the face; Hook went flying all the way down to the deck, crashing right through the door to his private quarters.
Peter quickly emerged in front of the spot where Hook landed and waited for him to get back up again. Hook then tried to take another swing at Peter with his hook, this time using all his speed, but Peter was way to fast suddenly appearing behind him, before Hook turned around, Peter had kicked him back down to the deck.
"That was for Rain" Peter told him flipping down to Hook's position
Hook looked up at Peter "No" he screamed out "it is not fair"
"Lots of things aren't fair codfish" Peter retorted back
"I have won" Hook screamed out taking yet another swipe at Peter
Peter quickly ducked under him, "no you are alone"
Hook charged at Peter again, Peter just dodged him again, "you are unloved" he added
"You are" Peter said
"Done for" Wendy added, Peter turned to her and smiled
"Hook, alone, unloved, done for" Peter chanted
"Hook, alone, Hook unloved, Hook done for" all the others started chanting
Hook then looked up into the sky, and decided to use the fact that he could fly to try and make it out of Neverland, he quickly shot up in the air
As Hook was flying up in the sky he then suddenly heard the dreaded noise that kept him awake at night, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, he literally stopped in his tracks.
Hook then looked behind him and saw Peter there
"You" he said angrily
"Not this time" Peter responded looking down where even in the darkness of night the form of the crocodile could still be seen.
Just then Hook could hear the chanting of the others down on the ship and just like Peter a moment ago he started to lose his happy thoughts and slowly started to fall.
"Happy thoughts, happy thoughts" Hook frantically said to himself "ripping throats, lawyers, dentist, dead puppies, dead kittens," he then looked up at Peter
"Pan, mercy!" he screamed out
"You who have shown no mercy, why should I show you any?" Peter responded back
"Because you are nothing like me, remember" Hook shouted back
Peter knew that Hook was right; he wanted to be nothing like Hook and showing mercy was a big part of not being like Hook, he quickly flew down, grabbed Hook and took him to the deck of the Jolly Roger. Just as Hook looked up Peter had his sword pointed right at him and looked at him sternly.
"Give back all the power that you have taken and then take your ship and go, and don't ever let me hear about you being here again" he told Hook menacingly
Peter then turned to walk away, Hook put his head up his eyes once again started glowing, "you noble intentioned fool" he whispered to himself he then got up and tried charging at Peter with his hook.
"Peter!!!" Wendy screamed
Just then Peter back flipped right over Hook and literally kicked him right in the back, Hook went flying right over the ledge of the ship, he quickly crossed his arms and closed his eyes as he fell head first right into waiting jaws of the crocodile who jumped out of the ocean to catch its pray.
Peter looked as the crocodile went back into the ocean and took Hook who had just become the crocodile's dinner along with him; he turned around when Emily quickly ran to her brother and quickly jumped into his arms.
"It's over Emily" he told her, "it's finally over" he said hugging his baby sister tightly
Just then Queen Mab herself flew to the ship, she briefly spoke with Tinkerbelle, who looked down at Peter
"What is it Tink" Peter asked "still holding Emily in his arms"
"She says that you have fulfilled the path of the lost warrior and that she will grant you any wish you want, for you have earned it."
Peter turned around to look around at the lost boys, he knew what he wanted but "what about them?" he asked himself
"What are you waiting for Peter" Slightly told him "you know what you want"
"And what about all of you" Peter asked
"We will be fine" Nibs said "Hook is gone now and well I think you earned it"
"He definitely earned it" Tootles said
"Go" the twins told him at one time
Peter smiled at his friends then turned to Queen Mab, "If I wish to return home" Peter asked "back to my mother, along with my sister, can you grant it?" he asked
"I can use my magic to find your mother, and tell you where she is, but you must go to her yourself" Mab told him "But you are still the lost warrior, should Neverland ever need you again"
"I will come" Peter said "I promise"
Mab flew to Peter touching the side of his head she then used her power to call on the magic inside Peter, Peter closed his eyes and saw images of his mother from the past and images of her now. Peter could see it, the boat sinking, Tinkerbelle saving both his life and Emily's, he could see his mother with them before they were separated, he could see his mother now still believing that her children would come to back to her.
"Mother" Peter said to himself "I know where she is" he said to Emily
"We are finally going home" he said picking up his little sister and hugging her, and then he turned to look at Wendy
"Thank you" he said smiling at her
Wendy bowed to him, Peter put Emily down and bowed back to her
"Now that you are going home" Wendy said solemnly
"First I plan on escorting you and your brothers home my lady"
"And don't worry Emily and me won't be to far away from you, after all I couldn't think of anyone else I would want to have happily ever after with" Peter said
Wendy smiled and pulled Peter into a kiss, the two then slowly started to hover into the air.
Everyone watched them and then watched as the queen returned to the fairy court just then they heard a voice that sounded like Hook's coming from behind them
"Avast ye swabs"
They turned to see Peter and Wendy standing on the main deck of the ship, Peter wearing Hook's hat
"Who is to help me as I pilot this here captured vessel back to the mainland" Peter said in his faked pirate voice
"Yes sir" said all the lost boys, just then several fairies came and repaired the damage to the ship then covered it in pixie dust and lifted it in the air.
John joined Peter and Wendy up on the main deck, Wendy looked at him
"John is everything all right?" she asked
"I can't seem to find Michael, he was by my side a moment ago" John said
Peter looked around he also noticed that Emily wasn't on the deck with them either
"Where did our younger half's get to?" Peter asked
Meanwhile inside Hook's cabin, Michael and Emily were staring at a large box that looked liked a treasure chest.
"You think there is treasure inside" Michael asked
"Well if there is, I don't believe Hook will need it anymore" Emily said
To be continued
Note: this chapter ended up being the hardest for me to write, I mean really hard so it may not be perfect, but I did the best and I hope everyone enjoyed it. The next and final chapter is more or less fluff, happiness, mixed in with humor and a tad bittersweet, but that's Peter Pan for ya.
