Chapter 1

Peter Pan dove down into the forest toward Hangman's Tree that calm night. It had been months since the Darlings went back to their home in London. He had stopped coming to their nursery because now that they were in the real world, they were forced to grow up. Sadly, Peter could not interfere with their future. One good thing came out of this; he would never have to rescue Wendy again. She was just too… girlish. Peter hated that. Nevertheless, John and Michael were gone as well, which left him to "baby-sit" the Lost Boys. On the outside, he was still the young boy who refused to go into adulthood, but inside… He was lonely and wanted someone his own age to talk with. Sure, the Lost Boys were his friends, but they didn't understand many things. However, he didn't let it bother him too much for Tinkerbell was his best friend. Even though she was a stubborn pixie, it kept him pleased. A memory of the bomb from Captain Hook made him wince, and he remembered Tinkerbell's heroic actions.

Flashback:
Peter sat in his chair, and watched the clock near six o'clock. "Twelve seconds. Well, I guess I can open it now."

At the last possible moment, Tinkerbell fluttered in the lair. Peter grinned broadly and held the package up. "Hi, Tink. Look what Wendy left," he said and Tink began to grab the box away, "Hey, stop that! Stop it! What's the matter with you? Hook? A bomb? Don't be ridiculous!"

The alarm began to ring and the box shook violently. Tinkerbell knocked the present out of Peter's hands just as it exploded...

End of Flashback

Lost in his thoughts, Peter did not see a figure floating in his path and the two collided. It was a bit of a shock because he and Tinkerbell were the only ones who could fly in Neverland. After a short recover, Peter discovered that this stranger was a girl dressed exactly like him. It was like looking into a mirror. "Who are you?" Peter asked, his hand moving toward his dagger.

The girl rose to her feet and brushed the sand off her dark green shirt. She didn't seem to care that the flying boy was reaching for his weapon. "My name is Linia. You need not take out your knife."

Peter paused and looked over Linia. She had an uncanny resemblance to him, and their builds were alike. Well, maybe the girl's was a bit different because of "special" details. Her hair was medium brown and strapped into a ponytail and her eyes were light brown. It was almost disturbing to look at her since her clothes were matching Peter's as well. It was if she was Peter's twin sister. He couldn't help his curiosity so he asked this mysterious girl, "Where did you come from and how come you look exactly like me?"

"It's a secret."

Peter raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms. "Answer me!"

Giggling, Linia leapt into the air and flew out of sight before Peter could respond to her actions. A confused expression came over Peter's face and he scratched the back of his head. There was something strange about Linia, like he already knew her. "I have to find out what is going on with her."

Peter floated into the sky and with a burst of speed, took off after Linia. With ease, he caught up to her and grabbed her arm. "Stop and tell me who you are!"

Turning to face him, Linia smiled slightly. "I did that already. But you didn't tell me who you are."

A pale blush came over Peter's cheeks when Linia smiled at him and he couldn't speak for a moment. "Peter.... Peter Pan!"

"So you're Peter Pan. Nice to meet you..." retorted the girl and she flew away from him towards Mermaid Lagoon.

"Wai-- Nevermind... I'm sure I'll see her again." Peter sighed and went back on his way home.

Flying down to her rock that was behind the waterfall, Linia looked for her mermaid friends in the water. Not one fish girl could be found, and it was dead silent. "That's not normal, even if it is evening."

Linia looked around for her friends, thinking that they could have gone for a swim out in the ocean. Her soft eyes shifted to the ocean waves and she spotted a pirate ship drifting away. The ship was bigger than anything Linia had seen before. Practically everything on it was three times bigger than herself. It had come from the lagoon... Linia could feel it. "I ought to check it out."

She had no time to rest and up she went back into the air, following the pirate ship as fast as she could. Once she had caught up with the ship, she floated low behind it, trying to see what was happening on the deck through a grate. It was a horrifying sight to see. Nearly all of the beautiful mermaids were tied to a pole, shoulder to shoulder with each other. Half were sobbing while the others screamed angrily at the tall, muscular men that stood in front of them. There was a certain man that caught Linia's eye... He was standing a few feet away from the riot while examining his silver hook, chuckling to himself. However, he didn't look as strong as the rest of the crew, but his smile was sickening and untrustworthy. The man was dressed in a red trenchcoat with a crimson hat upon his head. Ebony strands of hair fell down to his shoulderblades and his dark eyes were frightening. "He must be the captain." Linia whispered to herself.

Approaching the merpeople, the captain gave a fake smile and spoke in a smooth voice. "Begging your pardon, me ladies. As soon as you tell me what I need to know, I will set you all free into the ocean. What happened to the great Peter Pan?"

Rhapsody, a pale blue haired mermaid shouted at him. "We'll never tell you, Hook!"

Captain Hook's eyes began to turn red and he growled. "You'll talk unless you prefer to become sushi!"

The girls turned their noses in the air and said nothing. Hook could take their silence no longer and raised his thin sword into the air. "Then I'll make you talk!"

"Hold it right there!" A voice called out, and a figure was standing at the lookout tower of the ship.

Turning around, Captain Hook couldn't help but smile. "This is too good to be true! Peter Pan has come all by himself to fight!"

Linia began to pull out her dagger when she heard what the captain had said. He thought that she was Peter! "Oh well. I'll just go along with it for a while."

The ship crew began to panic because they feared Pan more than Hook himself. They positioned themselves in front of the mermaids so their enemy could not free the girls. Linia jumped down and flew at the captain. In an instant, their blades met and the sword fight began. Their skills were nearly equal, but it seemed that Hook had the upper hand. He had spent more years in sword fighting and began to overpower Linia. "You've gotten good, Pan!" Hook grunted, "But not as good as I!" and with these words, he kicked Linia in the stomach and hit the dagger out of her hands.

With a small cry, Linia fell onto the wooden deck and found the sword blade pointed at her chest. Captain Hook was about to make the final move when he noticed something different about his challenger. "Wait a moment... You aren't Peter Pan!"

The bystanders gasped as Hook announce that this fighter was indeed a girl. He could tell by the shape of her body. It was no way like a man's. Although he discovered that this fighter wasn't his true enemy, Hook kept the sword point at Linia's chest. "You must take me for a fool. Playing such a prank on the great Captain Hook. Well, now you die!"

As Hook raised his sword in the air, Linia shut her eyes and prepared for the end of her short life. She heard the sound of two blades clash together and her eyes opened again, seeing Peter Pan standing in front of her. He was grinning at her. "I see you can handle yourself. Go and free the mermaids!"

Hook swung at Peter and stared into the youth's eyes. "I see you have a new friend, Pan. Once I am through with you, the girl is next!"

Linia got to her feet and ran to the mast, finding the pirate crew blocking her way. "Wonderful..." Linia muttered angrily.

The pirates rushed at her and at the very last moment, Linia leapt over the line of men. By the time they knew what happened, they fell overboard and landed in the water with a large splash. Without wasting time, Linia sprinted to the mast and untied the mermaids. They immediately pulled themselves to the edge of the boat and dove into the ocean. Linia ran to the edge and watched them swim back to the lagoon. Rhapsody turned and waved to Linia, calling out in her sweet voice, "We'll see you back at the lagoon!"

Nodding, Linia waved back to the water child and started to search for her dagger. Without warning, a blade struck her across the back and the pain overwhelmed her, causing her fall unconscious.
