Chapter 16: Getting Through and Getting Taken

Wendy stood there staring at the spot where Peter had been last.

Peter had left, not knowing who she was, not knowing who he was himself. He would be lost in Neverland, not being the childish, fun-loving person he was. He probably couldn't remember how to fly, he didn't know how Captain Isaac was after him, he would probably die.

Wendy began to breathe heavily, as all these thoughts ran through her head. She quickly ran out into the forest, but stopped dead. She looked around, fear suffocating her whole body.

Where did he go?! Wendy cried out.

Wendy looked around the forest, it was dark and haunting. It was so dark you could see fairies moving about amongst the trees. But somehow there was a reddish glow to the sky. The air was thick with humidity and Wendy found it hard to breathe. The colorful flowers that were seen when Peter was happy, were hidden. This upset Wendy even more. She gasped which caused her to cough.

Why is the air so thick? Wendy said, her voice straining.

She stumbled back into the home underground and took a deep breath. Tinker Bell appeared, looking around the room frantically for Peter. In finding he was gone, she almost flew into Wendy's face. She quickly drew her head away from the fairy. Tinker Bell hovered in front of Wendy's face, her hands on her hips, waiting for an answer.

Tinker Bell, he woke up, and he didn't know anything. His memory's gone! He ran out and now he's somewhere in the forest, you must help, Wendy pleaded.

As you may know fairies only have room for one emotion Tinker Bell felt complete fear right now, she forgot about Wendy and flew out the window looking for Peter.

Wendy ran outside, she knew she wouldn't be able to stay in the Home Underground knowing Peter was lost.

As soon as she got outside she found the air was even worse, she held her breath and ran into the thick, cluster of thousands of trees, searching for Peter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter stumbled into a clearing in the middle of the forest, he sat down, his back against a hollow log and cried.

Peter had given up on trying to gain control over himself, so he went along with whoever was in control, and in fact he did want to cry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wendy ran through the forest, her feet trying very hard to avoid the pain of the ground. She saw Peter, relief washed over her like water. Just to know that Peter wouldn't be hurt made her sigh deeply. But as the image of Peter drilled into her mind she realized he was crying. She walked to him, but stopped as his head shot up.

Stay away from me! Peter said, standing up.

Peter, would you please listen to me- she was stopped mid sentence.

Stop calling me that! He covered his ears, sat back down and began to rock back and forth.

Oh Peter, Wendy whispered. She walked over to him, he hugged his legs tightly.

Leave me alone, I hate you! Peter screamed, his face red with fury.

Wendy felt as is her heart had been ripped out, any feeling of happiness or hope was gone. Peter, the person who mattered most to her in the world, had uttered the three worst words she could think of, Wendy's chin began to quiver and her eyes flooded with tears. That's when things started to clue in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter sat as his mind was controlled and he cried. He cried tears of fear and frustration.

He heard footsteps, hoping tremendously it was Wendy. His view shot up to indeed reveal Wendy.

Stay away from me! Peter heard himself shriek, as he stood up.

Peter would you please listen to me- Wendy tried to say something else but Peter's voice butted in.

Stop calling me that! His hands covered his ears, he could still hear but the sounds were muffled. He now sat against the wooden log again and teetered back and forth.

Peter saw Wendy mouth something but she spoke so softly he couldn't hear her, she tried to walk over but once again Peter heard himself yell at her. Leave me alone, I hate you! Peter couldn't believe it, it just wasn't real. It was so terrible it couldn't be real. He hadn't said those words to Wendy, he couldn't have.

Such a sadness appeared in Wendy's eye that Peter couldn't take it, he couldn't breathe, he didn't want to live with himself knowing he had hurt her so much.

Wendy whispered beginning to cry.

No, no, no, no, no!' Peter thought, trying to scream with such a strong force. What came next shocked all of them.

Peter said out loud. Wendy looked at him, glassy eyed.
Peter stood up about to walk away, Wendy I don't hate you, I don't! I love you!' Peter once again tried to scream.

Wendy I don't hate you, I don't! I love you, Peter said, nothing but a whisper but Wendy heard it.



I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!'

I love you! I love you! Peter turned around and screamed, but soon after looked around as if utterly confused.

Wendy laughed as Peter's face changed from frown to smile, to frown again and on and on, which made him look sick to his stomach.

Finally Peter's smile' came through and Wendy's heart melted.

Peter was so wrapped up in Wendy not being upset anymore he didn't realize he was running in the forest away from her.

Wendy about to follow him was stopped when Captain Isaac appeared in front of her, It's time we talked, and he grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the ship.
