Chapter Six: The Un-Written Story Writes Its Self
Peter rose with the sun and woke up Emerald the next day. It was best to start the day when the sun comes up so he had more time to teach her to fly. Both Peter and Emerald agreed that if she was going to look for her sister she would have to know how to fly first. So Emerald spent the day jumping on and off a chair. "Come one. Just one more time? I think you almost got it," said Peter. Emerald crossed her arms.
"No way. I jumped off the chair sixty-seven times already." Said Emerald glaring at Peter. Peter gave a cry of frustration.
"Come on. One more time." Said Peter. 'Why is she being so difficult?' thought Peter. He watched as she sighed and climbed back onto the chair.
"How is this going to be any different then last time?" asked Emerald scowling.
"If you have faith and keep trying you'll fly." Said Peter. The suddenly Emerald had an idea.
"Peter how do you fly? What feeling do you get? Anything you can tell me that can help?" questioned Emerald. Peter was taken a back by the sudden questions.
"Well." started Peter closing his eyes as if searching for the right words. When he opened them he was hovering. "Its like a feeling you get. Something in side you that's warm and friendly. You kind of reach into your self and grab it. Then it just obeys your thoughts." Answered Peter. Emerald scrunched her eyebrows together in confusion.
"What is it though?" asked Emerald. Peter thought for a moment.
"I don't really know but my best guess is the collected happy feeling and memories in your life." Said Peter. Emerald frowned. She didn't have very many and Peter had a lot and a way longer life. She wondered if her flight would be weaker then Peters because of it. Closing her eyes she tried it.
"I'm wasting my time." Muttered Emerald. Peter frowned.
"Concentrate." Commanded Peter. She sighed and thought of the time she hovered in the dance room.
'Hmm.I almost forgot about that.' Thought Emerald. Searching her mind she came a cross a few good memories of her sister, her favorite books and songs but nothing much. Suddenly she sensed something and backtracked. In her mind was a warmth and good feelings all packed together. She reached out and touched it with her mind. Something exploded in her and she felt lighter like she was floating. Then suddenly Emerald felt Peter's hands on her waist she stiffened and almost lost her concentration. Keeping her eyes closed tight and her mind steadily.
"Peter what are you doing?" Gritted out Emerald.
"Trust me. You can open your eyes now." Said Peter. She opened her eyes and gasped. She was five inches from the ceiling and ten feet from the floor. Peter was holding her steady so she didn't float into any walls or plummet to an uncomfortable landing. "Relax don't freeze up or something might go wrong." Advised Peter. That sounded like good advice to Emerald so she forced her self to relax in Peter's guiding hold. "Okay now I'm going to let go-," said Peter.
"Wait!" Emerald cried grabbing his arms. "What if I fall?" asked Emerald.
"Don't worry I'll catch you. I'll be here right beside you.," said Peter flashing her a grin. Emerald reluctantly let him go. Surprisingly she stayed floating.
"Okay. Now what?" asked Emerald testing her movement in the air.
"Well I guess you can try moving forward." Suggested Peter. Emerald thought herself forward and she moved! Emerald smiled getting the hang of willing her self places and with in minutes she was flying around the room easier. Peter fallowed her wherever she flew watching.
"This isn't so bad." Said Emerald turning to look at Peter.
"If you want to we can take a trial run out-side? We have a couple of hours before the sun sets." Said Peter.
"Sure" said Emerald. After an hour or so Emerald found that she couldn't dive and fly in a straight line as good as Peter. But Peter reminded her that he had lots more practice and she would be just as good to. Once Peter noticed the sun was ready to set he ended the lesson. They touched down in front of Peter place and went in side. Finding the house kind of cold Peter started a fire in the brick fireplace.
"So now that you know how to fly will you be leaving soon?" asked Peter that was sitting in on of the plush sofa chairs across from Emerald in hers.
"I wont be leaving yet. Not until I find my sister-" said Emerald looking at her hands. Relief flooded Peter. He didn't know why but he felt better that she was staying and why he also felt sad for her to. Emerald explained to him earlier that morning what was going on with her sister. Now Peter had more reason to hate Hook.
"I understand. You can stay here at my place as long as you like. If you need anything ask." Said Peter. Emerald looked up and gave a sad smile.
"Thank-you" said Emerald quietly. For a while they sat there in silence.
"So-" started Peter breaking the silence. "Do you know any good stories?" said Peter also breaking the murky mood. Emerald smiled softly and pulled a book out of her bag she left sitting next to the chair. She read him part of The Lord Of The Rings. It took some explaining about the elves and hobbits to Peter.
"No Peter not like us. They can't fly. No they can't all fight either and there are no pirates there. Peter there not real." Sighed Emerald.
"But how do you know? I mean you didn't think NeverLand really was here until you came here. So what if there is a place called Middle Earth?" asked Peter. Emerald new he had a point so she gave up.
"Fine Peter maybe there is." Said Emerald. Peter perked up at the thought of other worlds to explore. After the little interlude she continued reading until he fell asleep. Of course she didn't know he fell asleep right away until his snores carried over her voice did she notice. Emerald closed her book and shoved it into her bag. Her hand brushed something ice cold in her bag startling Emerald.
She reached into her bag again and pulled out the old leather book she found. It was freezing cold. Emerald didn't know how she could stand holding it. Opening it she found the writing from before. Then she turned it-. It was blank but the third page was full of writing. Emerald clutched the book until her knuckles turned white. Curiosity got the better of her and she read. To her horror everything was written there. Everything since the boys picking on her to her sitting there and reading the book its self. She watched as the sentence was written out like a typed writer before she eyes. Her whole body shook with fear.
~*~
Her whole body shook with fear.
~*~
That's what it said. Then more lines started typing its self down. At first it seemed like a poem to Emerald but then she realized it was a song~
The second star to the right Shines in the night for you To tell you that the dreams you plan Really can come true
The second star to the right Shines with a light that's rare And if it's Never Land you need It's light will lead you there
Twinkle, twinkle little star So I'll know where you are Gleaming in the skies above Lead me to the land I dream of
And when our journey through Each time we say "Goodnight" We'll thank the little star that shines The second from the right
~*~
The songs words suddenly turned red and melted sliding off the book and onto her lap. Emerald was to scared to move of make a sound as she watched the red ooze fade away. She had the sudden urge to burn it. She flung it into the fire but the ice-cold book wasn't going that easy. The book didn't burn instead it glowed blue and so did the fire.
Suddenly all light in the room vanished. The fire was no longer there and the lanterns where no longer lit. Emerald tried to call out Peter's name but it was like she had no voice anymore. Then she heard something it started out soft but then it grew in tempo. It was the song in the book. It sounded sad and lonely.
'Why wasn't Peter awake? Why didn't he here anything?' thought Emerald. Suddenly her mind went blank as the book used to be. She had to go somewhere. She didn't know where but she had to. Her feet carried her to the door and out. Emerald's eyes where glazed over and un-seeing as she walked trough the forest. Roots, vines, and other planets seemed to clear out of her path making a smooth walkway to where ever she was going. She obviously reached somewhere because she stopped and stood there waiting with un-seeing eyes.
~*~
Peter woke with a start and opened his eyes. Will at least he thought he opened his eyes it was all pitch black. Peter turned pale. The whole place was dark. "Emerald?!" cried Peter getting up and feeling his way around. 'Where is she? Why isn't she answering?' thought Peter. Fear pumped through him. He found a lantern and he lit it hoping not to find her dead on the floor covered in blood. To some relief he didn't find her dead on the floor but her not there at all was almost as bad.
"Emerald?!" he called again. Peter searched the other rooms frantically. It wasn't until he was done searching the whole house did he find the front door wide open. Peter walked up to the door grasping his sword at his hip in one hand and a lantern in the other. He saw a trail of dainty foot prints (Emerald's) leading out of it and down a forest path he had never seen before. The trail was clear and smooth with out any imperfections. The full moons light created an eerie feeling around it. An un-natural feeling.
What confused Peter more as that her footprints didn't appear forced or accompanied by anyone else's. Meaning she went supposedly on her free will. Peter closed the door and un-easily fallowed her trail on foot. Peter watched every shadow and was contently on his guard. Something wasn't right as far as he was concerned. The suddenly there he found her in the middle of nowhere staring at nothing not moving an inch. Peter approached her slowly and she didn't move to acknowledge him. "Emerald?" whispered Peter afraid to draw un-wanted attention. Emerald's eyes came back to life and started seeing things again.
"Peter?! What?! Where?! I-" Emerald was completely baffled.
"Are you okay?" asked Peter. Their moment didn't last long when suddenly the ground started shaking underneath them opening into a hole just big enough to fall trough. They didn't even have time to fly out of the way so they fell. Landing at the bottom of the hole didn't stop there. Together they slid down another hole that the bottom of the first hole sloped down to. Peter managed to wrap his arms around Emerald to take the impact of it all. He tucked her head under his to protect it from smashing against any rocks they might run into.
Then they came to another opening that lead them to a free fall. Peter twisted in the air and took the hit to his back. He wasn't going to let Emerald be hurt. His pointy ears picked up the sounds of large rocks that had fallowed them. He couldn't rest just yet. Arms still wrapped around Emerald he body rolled them out of the way just in time as rocks fell where they where just laying. Emerald who was clenching onto Peter like life was trembling in fear while lying on his chest curled up in a ball.
"Are you alright Emerald?" asked Peter sitting up his back protesting. Now Emerald was seated on Peters lap gripping Peter's tattered green shirt. Emerald suddenly realized where she was and with. She pulled away and muttered an apology.
"Is it over?" asked Emerald looking around and then the now plugged up hole in the ceiling.
"I think so," said Peter seeing the only way out was a small tunnel barley enough standing space. He didn't know where it would lead. Then he noticed the reason why they could see. Glowing yellowish colored moss on the walls supplied enough light to see where they are and each other. Emerald looked at Peter and gasped. He had a small bleeding gash on his forehead. Peter touched the spot where Emerald was staring at and looked at his fingers now touched with blood.
"Oh-Its nothing." Said Peter vaguely aware of the throbbing pain in his head. Ripping another piece but smaller off her already knee high dress she started cleaning his wound.
"Nothing my ass. You got this because of me and I owe you." said Emerald trying to clean it in vain. Peter watched her with an odd look on his face. "What?" asked Emerald seeing it. He suddenly reached out and pulled her into a gentle yet tight hug.
"Don't ever go anywhere with out me again. I was so scared. Scared for you. I've never been scared before and I don't want to ever be again." Said Peter griping her tighter.
"Peter?" Emerald whispered shocked. Emerald knew this boy was getting to her then and there. She was about to tell him what happened when they heard someone coming? Peter scrambled to his feet and pulled out his sword. Emerald got up and Peter pushed her behind him protectively. Emerald frowned. She could protect her self but she didn't argue.
"Fuck" Peter swore quietly there where people down here. They where coming down the only tunnel in and out too. He didn't know if he could hold them off if they where enemies.
(A/N: WOW! This is long! 2337 words. I only write around 1300 words a chapter. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!! I'm sick and I still wrote this.
NOTE:
I would like you to note that Peter and Emerald have only know each other for three days so to speak. So there will be no kissing yet. So OC-Haters you can put down your pitchforks for now. They hugging scene was caused by Peter experiencing fear for the first time. Fear can do strange things. But also because he has strange new feeling for her to. He doesn't realize it yet but he's starting to like her in a different way.
Emerald is more in touch with her feelings because she knows what they are. Un-like Peter who is new to them. I would like you also to notice Emerald softening to him. The Emerald feelings are surfacing to fast. So I might throw a wrench into the works. But I don't know how yet. More twists and turns await them and so dos death.
I'd like to note that three characters at least are going to die-
*EvilFangedGrin*
Go ahead and guess. Because you wont expect it. Also two are leaving forever-
*EvilCackle*
They story will get darker but a few jokes will be squeezed in.
