Chapter 2: Trouble In Neverland
Wendy shouted.
She had spun around and was face to face with, Peter Pan.
He asked, with the smile Wendy had seen in her dream.
Is it really you? She asked hugging him.
Yeah, it's me, He said hugging her back.
No, Captain Hook is going to come back, she said letting go of him and stepping back.
What do you mean? He asked.
In my dream, you were here, She looked down and paused. But he took you away, She looked up.
Wendy, he died. He's not coming back, and no one will take me away now, he said as she hugged him again.
She stepped back again, she looked at the door,My brothers, and the lost boys, they'll want to see you again, she said.
No, they can't see me, He said quickly.
She asked sadly.
Wendy, I can't stay here long. She looked at him, confused. Captain Hook's brother, Captain Isaac, has come to Neverland. I've been hiding in different places there. It's impossible to fly around when he has his new crew looking everywhere, Peter explained.
But why can't you see my brothers or the lost boys?
If I see them they'll want to know why I haven't come sooner. And if I tell them, don't you think they'll want another adventure? Peter tried to make her understand.
But you have to admit it was fun beating Captain Hook, She laughed.
Wendy, you don't get it. This isn't fun anymore. Captain Isaac means business, he's not like Captain Hook, he's tougher. You know what he did? Peter almost yelled.
She whispered softly.
He is ruining Neverland, he is going to change everything there. He can make me grow up, he can kill all the fairies, the mermaids, the indians, and me. I'm not having your brothers or the lost boys, in that much danger, Peter told her.
Peter, if it was so dangerous to fly in Neverland, why did you? Why did you come here? Wendy asked, happy to see Peter, but startled with the news he was giving her.
I had to see you, I missed you. And I do miss your brothers and the lost boys, but I had to see you above all of them, Peter said as he went pink.
Oh Peter, Wendy said as she hugged him. You need someone to come back with you, to defeat Captain Isaac. I could come, she said looking at him.
No Wendy, you can't come. It's too dangerous.
Peter, it's too dangerous for you to go back by yourself, Wendy pleaded him as he walked over to the window. She now noticed, he was taller.
She asked as he turned around. Your taller? She said putting her hand over her mouth.
I told you he can make me start to grow up, and he has, Peter explained looking away.
You have to defeat him, Peter. I'll help you, Wendy tried to persuade him.
I shouldn't have come, Peter said, running to the window, and jumping out with Tinkerbell who hadn't said a thing or done anything the whole time.
Peter wait! Wendy called.
He turned around and flew closer to her window. He crossed his arms and looked at her.
Peter, are you sure you'll be okay in Neverland by yourself? She said standing at the railing, looking worried.
No, I don't know. I don't even know if you'll ever see me again. Good-Bye Wendy, Peter said sadly.
Peter wait! She called again, but he had disappeared into the night with his fairy next to his ear.
She fell to her knees in front of the window. She almost instantly started to cry, Why? She asked herself. Please let him come back, please, she whispered to herself. He was here with her, she had hugged him, she talked to him, she had slightly argued with him, it wasn't a dream. He was here, but taken away from her as quickly as in her dream, and she would possibly never see him again.
Wendy cried and cried, she missed Peter already. She leaned against the rail, she thought of Peter, when she was in Neverland, when she fought Captain Hook's crew, when Peter had saved her so many times, when Tink hated her for almost kissing Peter, when she kissed Peter. She cried harder, Why Peter? She asked the few, sparkling, stars that hung in the sun risen sky. He never did anything wrong, why him? It's not fair, Wendy stopped herself, she was talking like Peter was already dead. Already dead? What am I saying, he can't die I have to believe that. But Wendy knew, she wasn't in Neverland anymore and she couldn't pretend. The way Peter described Captain Isaac, proved to her that he was eager to kill Peter, and nothing was going to stop him. Wendy just cried more after this thought.
The sky had completely lost it's, few, lingering, stars. The sky was pink like, rosy cheeks. Wendy usually loved when she got up early, to see a morning like this. But this morning Wendy was still leaning against the railing, thinking about Peter. Her tearstained cheeks were cold, in the morning air. Now that she thought of it, she was cold too.
She stood up and walked over to her bed, and climbed in. She lay there against her pillows, too tired and miserable to care about anything. Wendy soon fell asleep. To her horror she had another nightmare, this time it was a continuation of her last dream: Captain Hook brought his hook upon her, she lunged out of the way. He looked at her with a disgusting smirk on his face. Wendy looked at him, What do you mean I'll be with him shortly? She asked.
I have killed Peter Pan once and for all, with my glorious hook, and now you shall come to the same painful end.
She screamed as the hook came inches from her throat.
Wendy awoke to her brother, Michael, knocking on the door, Come in, she said ut of breath, after bolting up in her bed.
He popped his head into her room and slowly came in, he walked over to her bed, Wendy, you missed breakfast, we called you down. Do you want to eat now? He asked looking at her.
I'm not very hungry right now, thanks, She said putting on a sad smile.
Her brother asked.
She looked at him with a questioning look, We heard you crying last night, was it about Peter? He asked slouching.
I wasn't crying last night, you must have been mistaken, she said looking in different directions.
Okay well, I'm going to go downstairs, if you're hungry Mum has some food for you, He said and slowly walked back to the door and closed it.
Wendy, unwillingly, got up and got dressed. She found a light blue dress, that reminded her of Peter's eyes. She wore her hair half up- half down. She miserably opened her door, as her brothers and 2 lost boys ran past her. She put on a false smile, and a false mood and walked down the stairs. Half-ready for a day of pretending, the unhappy pretending.
Author's Note: Not much of a cliffhanger? I think I tortured you guys enough last chapter. Oh well, thanks for the reviews, keep reading and reviewing!
