"Well boys, it seems fairly obvious to me that Peter returned for Wendy and took her back to Neverland with him," John explained to his brothers for what seemed like the millionth time.
"But why would Peter not take us with him as well?" Nibs questioned for he, (as well as the other boys,) was slightly hurt that he had not been taken back to Neverland too.
Of course this did seem rather odd to the boys and all were in agreement on the topic.
"Do you suppose Peter had nothing to do with Wendy's disappearance?" Michael asked cautiously. He was rather inquisitive for a boy of eleven.
A silence fell over the group who were gather in the nursery as they had been every night since Wendy's disappearance. (It had been a week if you keep track by standard time.)
They had not really considered this possibility.
"What else could have happened?" Curly asked confused.
But again there was silence for no one could come up with an explanation other than Peter Pan.
Mr. and Mrs. Darling had instantly reported Wendy's disappearance as a kidnapping for the years had erased their memories of the existence of Peter, and although the boys, (and Nana!) tried to explain their theory, they simply would hear none of it. The London Police had been searching all through the week but to of no avail for they lacked both a suspect and evidence.
The boys, of course, knew the police would be of no use in finding their sister. But at present, it seemed that they too had nothing to go on other than their Peter theory.
"Well one thing's for certain!" Toodles exclaimed suddenly, breaking the silence and grabbing the groups' attention. (Perhaps Toodles had an idea.) "Wendy is most certainly missing."
The boys all groaned and sighed in unison. They were getting nowhere. Deciding to call it a night and start fresh in the morning, the boys quickly changed and readied themselves for bed. After one last check from Nana, the nursery door was closed, (but certainly not the window!) and the boys drifted off to sleep.
Not long after the last boy began to dream, a shadow appeared in the Darling's window. Peter landed softly in the nursery and looked around. He could not understand why his stomach seemed to be doing flip flops, but as he passed each bed, and as each did not contain Wendy, the flip flop feeling seemed to increase. After passing the last bed in the room with no sign of Wendy, Peter began to panic.
'She must be here! She must! he said to himself.
Deciding that the boys must be aware of Wendy's wareabouts, Peter went to John's bedside and nudged his shoulder.
"John! Wake up!" Peter whispered. He did not wish for all of the boys to wake. John woke quickly, and much to Peter's relief, silently. When John saw who had been the cause of his waking, he gasped and began to speak, but Peter's hand quickly covered his mouth.
"Where is Wendy?" he whispered (perhaps a little more forcibly than needed.)
John shrugged.
"What does that mean?"
John used his hands to pry Peter's off his mouth.
"She is not with you?" John asked alarmed, and quite loudly.
"Shhh!" Peter hissed (but politely,) at John. "Why would she be with me? I am here to take her back to Neverland." he finished pridefully as he smiled his trademark smile.
"Wendy is gone. She's missing. We all believed she had already gone back to Neverland with you," John informed Peter sadly.
The smile was quickly gone from the face of the magical boy. In it's place the pain and hurt that had tormented him for so long returned, (for the first time since he had decided to return for Wendy he noticed,) and Peter was again afraid.
'Wendy, gone? This isn't right!' Peter's mind was racing.
An unfamiliar feeling of need and desperation filled him.
'I must find her,' he told himself, 'but if she is not her then where-' Peter's train of thought was interrupted by a sudden realization. His feelings of need and desperation were quickly abandoned (for the time being,) for those of fury and anger.
Without a word Peter turned for the nursery window.
It was as Peter moved that John first noticed.
'Peter has grown!' he thought amazed.
But before he could question Peter on the subject, he watched as the boy would could fly descended from the window and into the night sky.
"Wait!" John cried without thinking and quickly made his way to the open window.
Peter stopped and turned.
"Where are you going?"
"To find Wendy!" Peter answered determinedly.
"What about us?" John questioned referring to himself and his brothers.
"I'll send Tinkerbell to bring you all tomorrow night but now I must hurry!" Peter yelled quickly as he turned back and began to fly towards Neverland.
John could not be certain (for he was very tired,) but he was almost sure he heard Peter mumble something about Hook as he flew into the night.
