"How was your day dear?" Maggie asked. From the shadow on the sheet I saw her take Peters hat. It reminded me of my childhood days when my neighbors and I played "house." It's exactly what was being done.
"I went to the ship and Hook refused to fight!" Everyone gasped and Peter droned on. "I even offered to fight without flying, and he still didn't want to!"
"Oh really Peter, maybe he's sick." Maggie said putting his hat on the horn of a goat head that hung on the wall.
"Then, I challenged him and his crew, one versus a million, and he turned me down." Peter was disturbed by these events and floated to an elephant head and sat on it's tusks. "I saw a girl in his cabin moons ago, and I looked for her, to capture her, so that Hook would fight, but I couldn't find her."
"Oh dear, oh dear!" Maggie sighed
The boys had forgotten about me, but Peter noticed the sheet right away. "Say, mother, what is behind that sheet?"
"We have a patient in the hospital." she answered, and at once the boys started chippering about their find in the woods. Slightly reported it was a girl and Peter flew to the curtain and tore it down.
I sat frozen in my spot and I saw a young boy, perhaps as old as Maggie, floating in the air. He was clad in skeleton leaves, and a leather belt. His copper brown hair had never seen a comb, and it needed to be cut. He flew closer to me, his sword in his hand. "Oh really Peter!" Maggie cried.
"Mother!" he shot back, "This is no patient, she is the girl who is Hook's friend."
It was silent and Maggie had buried her face in her apron. I was going to die.
Peter took the sword and slit my shirt. He was ready to drive it in, and I shut my eyes. But it never happened, I slowly opened one eye and then another. Everyone was looking at me with eyes wide open, and mouths that hit the floor.
Peter hovered closer and inspected the necklace I wore around my neck. "I demand to know where you got this!" Peter bellowed, ready to tear it off my neck.
I grabbed it from him and cupped it in my hands. "I got it from a boy named D.B." My eyes started to swell in tears. "I met him on Hooks ship and he gave it to me before he died." I let it fall to my chest and I buried my face into my hands.
I had begun to tell the story of my life with the pirates. At times Peter seemed as though he would rip apart in furry, at other times it looked like he was about to cry. At the end, they were all crying. Maggie said the boys had seen a lot of unfairness, but had forgotten it all.
Maggie sat on her rocking chair and all the boys huddled around her. She rubbed their backs, and ruffled their hair, everything a mother would do to her crying child. I didn't feel right. I wiggled through a tree and walked somewhere, anywhere, to get away from what was happening.
For the first time I tried to think of my life before Neverland, but nothing came to mind. All I knew was that I was Kelly Pan, and was seventeen, too old for the Lost Boys, and too innocent for the Pirates.
