Tiger Lily sat in the center of her village weaving a basket
from long dry leaves that she had gathered from the river. She
hummed quietly to herself, enjoying the warm sun as it poured down
onto her, making her hair shimmer.

She was startled out of her peaceful state as a green blur shot out
of the bushes and raced toward her. The thing stopped when it had
reached her and landed beside her.

"Peter!"

"Tiger Lily! Tiger Lily! You've got to help me! It's Hook! He's-"

"STOP!" screamed Tiger Lily, a confused look on her face, "No talk so fast!'

Peter sighed and explained at a normal pace what had happened, adding, "and
we need your help. We'll never be able to fight Hook and his pirates
alone."

Nodding to show she understood, Tiger Lily replied, "We help. Help you
rescue Wendy!"

"Good!" said Peter, "I am glad! We're going to need all the help we can get.
I know Hook's got something planned!"

"Peter will win." she declared, "Peter Pan is the sun, the moon, and the
stars!"

"Yes, I know." replied Peter.

"When we attack?" she asked.

"I'm not sure yet. It must be before sunset. Why don't you bring your
tribe to our hideout when the sun is directly overhead? We'll have a plan
ready by then."

"Right." said Tiger Lily, "Tiger Lily bring tribe to Peter's home. We make
plan."

"Don't worry! We'll win this battle!" Peter then flew off through the
trees, feeling even more deturmined than before.

Hook was waiting on deck when Smee brought Wendy to him. "Good morning,
my dear." said Hook cheerily, "Sleep well?"

"I have nothing to say to you!" declared Wendy.

"Really?" asked Hook, "I thought that you'd want to know how your brothers
were fairing. Perhaps I was mistaken?"

Wendy tried not to answer him, but, at last, her worry for John and Michael
won, "Where are they?"

"They are working below deck." Hook replied evily, "Rowing and other
back-breaking chores. The little one was quite disagreable when we separated
him from his brother, but he seems quite subdued now."

Wendy gasped in fear for poor Michael. "How could you? Why have you brought
us here?!"

"I knew you'd get around to asking that sooner or later." Hook chuckled,
"It's quite simple really. I wanted revenge on Peter Pan. I wanted him to
die, but no matter what scheme I thought of, he was always one step ahead of
me. Then I thought, what thing in this world would he be most afraid of
loosing? I had to figure out what was the most important thing in his life.
It would have to be something big, something that he would die for. For weeks
I pondered, searching for a solution; that Indian brat? No, she would never do.
That blasted fairy? No, he'd miss her, but he wouldn't suffer as much as I
wanted him to. Then, I suddenly thought of what that something was: you."

Wendy remained silent for a couple of moments, digesting this new information.
After a while, she spoke, "Don't be silly! Peter doesn't care that much for
me."

Here, Hook laughed, "Oh, child! How naive can you be? Peter would throw
himself to the crocodile if he thought it would save your life!" Wendy was
silent, so Hook continued, "I knew that if I was to have my revenge, I would
need to capture you. But how? I didn't know where you lived. Then, one of
my men, Cecco, stumbled upon his hideout one day and happened to hear that he
was coming back to get his 'mother'. Well, I knew that this was what I had
been waiting for! So, I followed him to your house and kidnapped you and your
lazy brothers."

"So, this is all a trap for Peter?" Wendy asked.

"Aye, me deary, and you are the bait. Oh yes, Peter and his friends will
come at sundown tonight, and they'll fight my men and probably win. But then
he'll have to face me, and I have the very thing he wants. He will have to do
every thing I tell him...or I will slit your throat!"

Hook broke out into a crazy laughter. Wendy just stood there, too afraid to
move.

Just below where the ship was anchored, a mermaid sat listening. "Very
interesting..." she murmered quietly, "Peter will be very interested to learn
Hook's plan..." With that, she dove under the water and headed for shore and
the waiting Nibs.
