Chapter 21 - Mysteries
Rose's POV -
"Rose. Rose. Rose", a male voice said softly in my ear, his voice sounded almost jingly. Maybe he was a fairy. I was awake but my eyelids were so heavy I couldn't open them.
"Why isn't she waking up?", Peter asked.
"Because the magic I used to heal her used her energy up. I'll be surprised if she even wakes up today", the voice said again. Who is he? Urg if only I could wake up!
"But she's ok?", Peter asked concerned. I'm fine.
"Yes", the man said amused, "she just needs rest". If only I could tell them I'm awake. What do I do? Oh I know. I can make a sound, or can I?
"Lets leave her alone to rest", the man said. No, no, no, no. They can't leave. I need them to know I'm awake. I need to make a sound. Taking in a deep breath, I summoned up all my strength.
I groaned, which got a few gasps.
"Is she waking up", Peter asked, I heard him running towards me. Well I think it was him.
"I...I...I...I don't know", the man stuttered, "this has never happened before. Humans are much too weak. There only one exception but...", he sounded so shocked, confused. Well that's not stereotyping is it. Then I heard the man and Tink talking in another language.
"Rose, if you are awake make a sound again", Peter said slowly like I was an idiot. I felt so insulted today. Taking in another deep breath I groaned.
"I need to go and report this. Ill be back soon to check on her", the man said hurriedly, a door opened and closed. I guess he left.
"Tink what does he mean?", Peter asked. He sounded so lost. But I was curious as well.
"I'll tell you when he gets back", she said after a moment of thought.
"Ok", Peter said sceptically. I guess he wasn't convinced. Then I heard a load of frantic knocking at the door. So much was going on. I wanted to wake up so bad.
"PETER. PETER. PETER", a chorus of voices shouted through the door.
"SHUT UP", Peter shouted back and I heard him open the door, "Mothers resting boys", he said sternly.
"Peter, this is urgent", fox stated in his usual monotone voice.
"What", Peter huffed annoyed.
"Chip...", fox started but Peter interrupted.
"What about him?", Peter asked he was getting less annoyed and more worried.
"He's gone", Fox said in a said voice. He's gone. What do they mean he's gone? Ok now I'm annoyed, all I can do is lay here and Chip is in trouble. I have to wake up.
"What happened?", I said in a raspy voice. Slowly sitting up. Everyone immediately ran to my bed side showing pillows behind me so I could sit up straight.
"Mother your ok", they cheered. I held up a shaky hand to calm them down.
"What happened to Chip?", I croaked.
"We don't know. We thought he was in bed upset. When we went to go to bed he wasn't there", Fox stated. Back to no emotion Fox I see.
"Where...", I started but then I coughed, my throat felt suddenly so dry. As if they read my mind a leather cup was being held up to my face. I drank greedily. That felt so good.
"Where did he go?", I finally got to ask.
After a long silence Edward came through the door way, falling landing face first. I cringed. That had to be painful.
"I bet he'd know", Rufio spat, stepping over Edward as he walked in.
This isn't gonna turn out well. They hate Edward enough as it is. Peter stormed across the room and lifted Edward off the floor by the collar of his shirt.
"Where. Is. He", Peter said through gritted teeth. I couldn't help but gulp.
Chip's POV -
What was that? I quickly turned at the sound of a snapping branch. Neverland at night was dangerous. My hand went to the dagger on my belt. It's gonna be scary on my own but it'll never be the same like Edward said.
After Edward left I acted fast. I got a bag and put my blanket, a few knifes, my teddy bear and my small leather water bottle inside. Then, using one of the back entrances in our room I left. I ran at first. I was so scared. But afterwards I started to get sad and I walked.
I was at the bottom of the Never mountains now. Looking up the top disappeared behind the clouds. I gulped. Why did I want to climb this again? Oh yeah, if I get Peter's kiss off the black fairies they'll forgive me. Hopefully. But last time this happened...I shivered at the thought.
Taking a deep breath I started to climb up the mountain. Lets just hope these are a lot less meaner than the one that live in the caves near crocodile creak. Grabbing the rock above me I started to climb higher and higher.
Finally I reached a ledge. I flopped onto it exhausted. The moon was now high in the sky. I bet they haven't even realised I've left. I look up again. Sure is a long way up. I don't even want to look down, it would either be too low down or high up for my liking with no fairy dust. Deciding to call it a night I pulled my blanket from my bag. I curled up into a ball under it. The blinking stars slowly drifted me off to sleep.
Why's Rose different? What do the fairies know? What happened last time someone went to get Peters kiss? Will they find Chip?
