Chapter 8: The Mermaids

Peter stared in absolute horror, as Wendy fell off the plank, he looked and heard a splash, he knew it, she would be attacked by the mermaids, and fed to the sharks.

Captain Isaac watched as Wendy, fell overboard. He laughed as he looked over the boat, Oh, look she went under, the mermaids will find her and kill her. He walked over to Peter, I thought I asked you to take him below deck? He asked the two pirates holding Peter by his arms.

Sorry, sir, the pirates muttered, throwing Peter down the stairs, hopefully gaining some praise from the captain.

I will be in my quarters if you need me, only if someone must be threatened, or killed. Understood? Captain Isaac said to the his crew who were locking the door, of where Peter was.

Peter landed on his shoulder, He said trying to get up. He placed his hand over his shoulder.

Back with Wendy..........

Wendy saw the mermaids, as she fell. She landed in the water and went under. She saw the mermaids coming towards her with spears and their evil cat-like eyes. She quickly swam up to the surface. The mermaids came up as well, spears pointed at her. Wendy could hear Captain Isaac, she swam towards the boat, in fear of being seen.

The mermaids smiled evilly, ready to kill Wendy. Then she had an idea, She said as the mermaids came closer, but stopped.

You are all friends with Peter, right? Wendy asked them as they nodded.

Ok, well he's up there and he's going to be killed if someone doesn't save him, you kill me, you kill him, She said, the mermaids thought.

Now you can not hurt me, and help me save Peter, your choice? The mermaids put their spears down.

What do you need help with? A merman, about Wendy's age, asked, and talked as if he was talking into a sink, his voice had an echo and was misty.

Well, first I don't want you to kill me, and I don't need help at the moment, I might need you guys though so be ready, she said, looking up the side of the ship.

Now I have to go back to the tree house, She said starting to swim away.

I should come, The merman said quickly. You know in case a shark or something comes, and what if Captain Isaac sees you swimming. I could say something, so I should come, The merman said after Wendy had looked at him funny.

Wendy said, swimming again.

By the way, my name is Jeremiac, He said.

I'm Wendy, she said looking back at the ship every once in awhile.

I know, I saw you with Peter and the other mermaids, the first time you came here, sorry my sisters were rude to you, He said swimming with her.

She asked looking at him.

Well the one that tried to take you under, Alantica, she's not my sister, two of them were, He explained.

Wendy said understanding the mermaids a bit.

They arrived at the shore, Um, thanks, Wendy said to Jeremiac.

You are welcome, He said to her. Call if you need anything, He said and he disappeared into the depths of the oceans of Neverland.

Wendy walked back to the tree house, by herself.

She walked in and was greeted by Tinkerbell and Rosebell, they looked at her with a questioning look. They had left the ship early and had not seen the pirates take Peter.

The pirates took him, The fairies looked at Wendy's wet hair and clothes. They made me walk the plank, the mermaids are going to help me save Peter.

Wendy walked over to a chair and sat down, All I have to do is think of a plan a good one, or Peter could get killed, Wendy said as the fairies flew over to her.

Back with Peter......

Peter still lay on the spot where he fell, his shoulder in major pain.

He rolled onto his back, Peter said sitting himself up, with the hand not holding his shoulder.

Peter looked around, He asked not remembering what happened, from the pain.

He shook his, No they didn't, they couldn't. Wendy? Peter asked slightly remembering the events that had happened minutes before.

Peter was positive Wendy was dead, and shortly after he would be too.

Author's Note: Yeah, I know very short! Once again I'm not good with the names so the mermaids got crappy names. I was rushed to finish this chapter, because I was grounded yesterday from the computer, so I couldn't update. Today I really wanted the chapter out so I made a short one like a fan fiction snack. I'll have a longer chapter soon. Thanks for reading and especially reviewing!- Pottersweetie
