~I thought I'd leave y'all with a cliffhanger at the end of that last
chapter. Thanks to blahblahblah for reviewing and don't worry there will
be more chapters~
~Chapter Two~ ~Into the Night~
"Peter, you're shaking! What's wrong? Why do you need my help?" Wendy asked, unable to comprehend what it was that Peter wanted.
"A new band of pirates has invaded Neverland. They've come looking for treasure and they believe that the Indians or I know where it is. In truth there is no treasure. It's just a myth that was spread after the remains of Captain Hook's crew came back here. I need your and the boys' help because it's just me, the Indians, mermaids, and fairies now. The mermaids and fairies are unable to help us so Tiger Lily told me to come for you and the boys. We need as many people as we can get and you're the only ones that the rest of us can trust." Peter explained as he sat at the foot of Wendy's bed.
"Okay, I'll come. We'll have to go tell the boys but first I want to clean that wound. It looks dreadful. What happened?"
"I was in a swordfight with the captain, Miles Rice. As I flew up, his sword cut near my shoulder and went all the way down as I went up."
"This Captain Rice sounds worse that Hook!" Wendy exclaimed as she retrieved her washbasin and rag.
"He is, more fierce and more wicked." Peter said, wincing as Wendy began to clean his gash with the cool cloth.
"There," Wendy said as she finished.
"Oh the cleverness of you!" Peter said.
"Of me?" Wendy asked, surprised that Peter recognized her for something that she did.
"Yes, of you. You're the one who did all the work. It was me and my ignorance that caused this wound in the first place." Peter said kindly.
"Well, we really should talk to the boys. You go talk to the older boys next door and I'll go down the hall to talk to the others." Wendy said, trying to hide the fact that she was blushing.
"Boys?" Wendy whispered to the four sleeping forms in the darkened room.
"Hmm?" She heard one of the twins whisper.
"Peter's here." She whispered back.
"Peter!" The twin practically screamed.
"Peter?" The other boys said obviously wide-awake.
"Yes, Peter. He's here because he needs our help. There are some new pirates in Neverland and he and the Indians need our help to fight them off. Peter said that they are fiercer and wicked than Hook or his men ever were. We have to go help them so quickly get some things in a bag and meet back in my room. Peter is in the other room getting the other boys up and ready." Wendy explained.
After everyone gathered in Wendy's room with a small sack of things and greetings were exchanged between Peter and Michael, the Twins, and Curly, he asked them, "Are you ready?"
"Ready!" They all cried in unison.
"Tink," Peter called as Tinkerbell flew by his side. He retrieved some of her fairy dust and sprinkled it on all of them. Within moments they were all hovering inches above the floor. "Come on!" Peter called over his shoulder as he flew out of the window. The rest grasped each other's hands so they wouldn't loose each other on the long journey to Neverland and flew after Peter out into the night to the rescue of their beloved Neverland and their Indian friends whose lives were at the mercy of a fierce band of pirates.
