Chapter 1
Jenna pushed the bedroom door open slowly, to avoid loud creaks that might awake her siblings from their slumber. She peeked in on tiptoe, watching for any signs of movement. There they were her two small sibling twins, Ally and Jack. Both were entering third grade now when she had just finished high school. Ironic she thought. Her parents chose to have another kid, or kids it happened to be, right when she was old enough to be depended on to take care of them.
"Good-night kiddies," she whispered, closing the open window.
"No!" Jack demanded, sitting straight up in bed. "Leave the window open for Peter Pan!"
"Yes!" Ally insisted, also bolting awake. "He can't visit us if you close the window!"
"Alright already, I'll leave the window open," Jenna, said smiling. "Now you two need to go to bed now or I'll have to tell Mom and Dad." Both scuttled down into their covers immediately, they recognized a possible grounding being threatened. Jenna headed to the door, patting her sibling's feet.
"Wait!" Jack said, his pudgy face appearing above the covers once more. "Can you read us the story of Peter Pan?"
"Yes! We like that one the best," Ally chimed in.
"Haven't you heard that one enough?" Jenna complained, sliding the worn book out of its familiar place in the bookshelf.
"No!" Jack pouted.
"Mom and Daddy never read it to us," Ally informed her sister.
"Okay, come over here you two and I'll start." The two twins sat next to their sister on the bench next to the window. Ally sitting in Jenna's lap comfortably and Jack on the floor. Jenna watched the twins faces while she read the story. Both had a certain glow and smile to them. Peter Pan was something special to them, she could tell. Anyways she wanted to hurry through the story, Josh; her boyfriend was coming over secretly anytime now.
"And then the lost boys lived happily ever after with Wendy, John and Michael and Peter Pan went back to Never land, the end."
"I love that story," Ally sighed.
"Me too. I wish I could go to Never land with Peter Pan," Jack said, lying on the bench, his hands under his chin while he watched the moon out the window.
"Maybe you will," Jenna said, amused at her siblings devotion to the fairytale. "Now you need to get to bed!" The twins scrambled for bed each kissing their big sister on the cheek.
"Night Jenna," both chimed at once, settling comfortably into their beds.
"Nighty night," Jenna replied, shutting the bedroom door. She waited a moment or two to see if either one stirred but all she heard was silence. Sighing inwardly, she walked down the hall to her room. Jenna loved the twins with all her heart. It seemed her parents were always gone, at parties or on small vacations and forever she was taking care of them. In return, both twins loved her and sometimes she felt more like a mother then a sister to them.
But this night Josh was coming over. True, Josh wasn't really a caring, devoted boyfriend. All it seemed he wanted was sex lately. That's all he'd been coming over to her house to do. She finally had the feeling that they were going to break up soon. Anyways they were going to separate colleges miles apart and would never get to see each other.
Well better make it last, Jenna thought. She picked out a special pair of pjays. Honestly, it could fit into the lingerie section of Victoria's secret. Jenna liked it anyways. It wasn't a sleazy thing. It was a kind of short nightgown tank top thing. She really didn't know what the heck it was. Josh had given it to her for a graduation present and she knew he liked to see it on her.
Slipping into the piece of sleepware, Jenna thought she heard a thud. Like someone falling from bed accidentally. She grabbed a short silk robe to tie around her self and raced down the hall. "Ally? Jack?" she called out worriedly.
"Here Jenna," Ally called to her older sister. Jenna found her in a dark corner with Jack and another older boy.
"What are you-who is that boy?" Jenna demanded grabbing her sister and brother away from him.
"Peter Pan, silly," Jack laughed to himself as if he was making some hilarious joke.
"Very funny guys, honestly who is it. Jack, is it one of your friends?'
"No, Jenna. It's Peter Pan. Watch him, he can fly!" Ally giggled as the boy rose up in midair, still sitting cross-legged. Jenna gaped at him and nearly passed out.
"My god," Jenna said to herself. "I seriously need to get some sleep. What the hell is this? Am I hallucinating?"
"You're not hallu-finating!" Jack laughed, clapping his hands childishly. "It really is Peter Pan and tonight we're going to Never land!"
"Peter's is taking us!" Ally said. "Do you want to come Jenna?"
"What-I mean No. You're only children, you can't go with this strange boy," she faltered, her eyes roaming the boy who was frowning at her. "Besides it's the middle of the night and you're supposed to be in bed!"
"Don't be such a mother," boy complained, sticking his tongue out at Jenna. She gaped at him, thinking him to be calling her mother f.
"Come on Ally and Jack, let's go," the boy announced suddenly darting around the room like a bird.
"Yay!" Ally and Jack giggled, jumping up and down.
"Here's some pixie dust!" Peter Pan said, sprinkling golden particles on them. The twins at once floated in air and giggled.
"Wait!" Jenna yelled to the Peter who was out the window by now. "You have to take me along!"
"Ha! You? You're an adult! Adults aren't allowed in Never land!" Peter laughed, flipping upside down midair.
"Well Jack and Ally aren't going unless I come with!" Jenna yelled at him, her hands on her hips.
"But you don't get it," the boy stated, "adults just aren't allowed into Never land.
"I'm not an adult yet! I'm still...a child!" Jenna couldn't believe what she was saying. This was the kind of thing her parents would say, not her.
"Alright, alright. You can be our mother!" Peter said his face lighting up in a smile. Jenna groaned, god, she really had to have taken something that didn't agree with her. She was NEVER reading Peter Pan again; it must have done something to affect her mind. Maybe some brain microscopic insect lived between the pages and she must have inhaled it.
"Here's some pixie dust for you. Now think of something happy and away we go!" he fled out the window with Jack and Ally soon following after. Jenna sighed, she had to pinch herself to make sure this was real. Yup, she still had the familiar sting.
"Well something happy, hmmm what could that be? How about...breaking up with Josh? Yup that'll do!" she remarked as she fled out the window too.
"Come on Jenna!" Ally yelled flying back to yank on her sister's hand and pull her along. Jenna panicked for a moment as she looked down and saw the tops of houses. It would be a long way to fall and a frightful death.
"Come on girls!" Peter shouted, far ahead above them. It looked like they were getting higher and higher in the atmosphere but it didn't seem any colder and they were burning up into crisps or anything like that.
Jenna yawned widely. "Are you tired?" Ally asked, squeezing her sister's hand.
"Yes, I supposed I am," Jenna said rubbing her eyes.
"You can fall asleep and I'll pull you along," Ally offered.
"Okay, just don't like let me fall or leave me behind or anything."
"I won't," Ally promised, holding her sister's hand close. Jenna nodded sleepily and closed her eyes. What an odd place to fall asleep, in the middle of the sky. The last thing Jenna saw was a large star millions of miles away but seeming to get closer and closer. This was the weirdest dream she had EVER had, period.
"Jenna, wake up!" Ally said, pulling on her sisters hand.
"What? Where am I? Didn't I just go to sleep?" Jenna rubbed her eyes then looked down and screamed. "OH MY GOD!"
"Jenna! We're almost in Never land! Don't scream! Peter says we don't want the pirates to fire at us." Jenna gulped.
"Pirates? Where? They don't exist! At least not for the last few hundred years!"
"Silly! Weren't you listening to the Peter Pan story?" Ally flew a few feet above her. Her dirty blonde hair flying away from her face to make her look like an angel.
"Ally I went with your story before but this isn't possible. Even if this is a dream I am telling you, in real life this is NOT realistic!" Jenna was freaking out now, she even felt tears coming on, how embarrassing could that be, crying in front of her little sister. Ally looked hurt.
"Jenna, how can you not believe this is real? It's right in front of you." Jenna looked down below her. They were above a sort of island that ended in the sky but you couldn't tell exactly where. She could see a pirate ship with dirty white sails and there was a dark forest and a mountain where strange teepee's rested.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Ally asked, her eyes shining.
"Yes," Jenna replied, giving in to the majesty of Never land. "Even though it's so unrealistic, it's at least amazingly beautiful. But where's umm, Peter Pan and Jack."
"They're up a head waiting for us. I think they're on some cloud or something! It's so cool. Have you tasted them?"
"Tasted what?"
"The clouds!"
"Clouds are water vapor, Ally. They don't have any taste."
"These ones do!" Ally said, taking a big handful of cloud as they went by a few. The clouds there were slightly pink and extremely fluffy. They had an uncanny resemblance to cotton candy. Jenna took a small handful and licked it cautiously.
"Mmmm!" she said, her eyes widening at the cloud's spectacular taste, "it's like-AHHH!" Something had came shooting towards Jenna looking like a large bowling ball and now she was flying off away from Never land.
"Jenna!" Ally screamed, trying to fly after her sister but she was too far away already.
"Help!" Jenna screeched, panicking. Then she hit some sort of invisible barrier and was hurled frontward back to Never land but flying now to the pirate ship, which kept getting closer and closer every tenths of a second. She hoped fearfully that maybe she would possibly miss the large wooden ship and land in the water next to it. Well a little fairy decided to grant her wish and instead of hitting the ship, she plopped into the water next to it.
Jenna hit the water with tremendous force and struggled to get to the surface. She faintly remembered something about a carnivore crocodile and kicked even harder to reach the top. "Help me!" she burbled when she reached air. She gulped steadily, flailing about. "Help!" she screamed, louder this time.
A man appeared at once and leaned over the side. He had tan skin and a deadly look about him. His front two teeth were gold fillings and his left ear was pierced. A piece of black clothe wrapped around his head. His small black eyes widened when he saw Jenna drowning in the water. "Man over board," he yelled and other pirates immediately gathered at the side of the ship at once. A coarse rope was thrown into the water near her and she swam to it. It stung her hands but she held on with all her might as they pulled her up.
When she reached the side of the ship she tumbled over onto the floor, water dripping from her. Jenna became vividly aware that she had lost her silk robe and all she had on was the thin hot pink lingerie. It clung to her uncomfortably and she noticed with great discomfort that she did NOT have a bra on and her breasts were visible through her tank top, which stuck to her wet body.
A few pirates grinned and jeered at her while others just simply gazed at her body, most notably her breasts. She covered herself immediately and demanded that a pirate get her robe back, which was now floating in the water below.
"As you wish, Miss," a pirate laughed, taking a long hook stick from the floor and trying to get the piece of clothing. Which Jenna could see were just a lot of ill hidden weak attempts. "Oops, I think I lost it," he said as Jenna watched the pretty, silk robe gradually go deeper and deeper into the dark water until she could see it no more.
"Bastard!" Jenna yelled, lifting her hand to smack it but he grabbed it and yanked her closer to him where she could smell his horrid breath. "No offense Miss, but I think you'd look much, erm, better without it."
"Pervert!" she screamed struggling to get away as he made kissy noises at her. Other pirates gathered around them and started jeering. "Let me go!" she demanded, twisting in the pirate's strong grip. He gripped her waist and started letting his hand wander lower. "Stop!" she begged, tears of frustration gathering in her eyes. The pirate still wouldn't let go. He kissed her neck sloppily and she felt saliva linger there.
"Why won't you give ole peg leg Sven a kiss dearie?" a old croaky pirate laughed, poking Jenna in the side with the butt of his gun.
"No, please, let me be!" Jenna pleaded her hands up in defense. A shot rang out and the pirate holding her fell to the ground dead, blood dripping from a bullet hole in his head. Jenna gasped looking up to the direction of the shot. There stood a man with black hair as cold as midnight in the winter. He had a handsome mustache that curled out slightly at the end and had a small goatee, which had two braids in it. [He's the spitting' image of the pirate version of Johnny Depp, only more evil, maybe even more hotter, wait is that even possible?].
At the end of his left arm there stood a sharp metal hook, protruding from his sleeve. Jenna staggered back in shock and knocked into several pirates who grumbled angrily that she stepped on her foot. "What is all the commotion?" the man yelled, which Jenna presumed to be the fearsome Captain Hook.
"This girl, sir, she just fell down from the sky into the water. Peg-leg Sven just wanted something in return for saving her and she got all hussy," a fat pirate explained, at the end giving the imitation of squiggling animal.
"Well that is the natural reaction of woman to such a request," Hook replied with faint sarcasm. "Girl come over here." Jenna paused with fear but several pirates pushed her buttocks forward and she stumbled to the ground. Cautiously she walked up to the pirate and looked at him levelly.
"Come into my quarters," he demanded, pointing his normal hand to a door that led into a large room. She hesitated and looked up at him angrily then walked in with dignity. The crew laughed behind her as the captain made an unseen gesture.
"Yes?" she asked her head held high.
"Excuse me?" Captain Hook asked, his brown eyes roaming over her body.
"How dare you!" Jenna yelled. Her patience level had long since worn out and she had had it with these disrespectful men. "Do you mind? Not only has your crew nearly raped me, but you look at me like I'm some-WHORE!"
"Well my darling, you do have a stunning figure," the Captain purred, touching Jenna's long light brown locks. Jenna fumed at him, and crossed her arms against her breasts.
"Would you like something to drink, love?" Hook offered, getting up from the couch and pouring her a glass of brandy at a small table in the corner.
"And now you intend to get me drunk so you can have your go with me? Is that it? Why do you men have no respect or decency at all?" Jenna asked, her voice rising.
"My dear, we have not had a woman among our midst in a long time and you are quite hard to resist."
"Pig!" Jenna said accusingly, turning away from Captain Hook. "Why don't you just leave this wretched ship then?"
"We can't."
"Why?'
"We're stranded here. If you try to sail away, you get several hundred yards away and then suddenly you tip over the edge and are gone. Several men have tried, so don't think about it."
"I'm not! I can fly away from here anytime I want!"
"Really, and how is that so?" Jenna stopped; she had just treaded into dangerous ground. Peter Pan and the Captain were sworn enemies. If she told him about Peter, he might hurt Ally and Jack. Oh, confound it all, Peter Pan was the one who got her into this mess. She could have been killed!
"Peter Pan," Jenna said, watching for a reaction in the Captain's face at all.
"Oh is that so?" the Captain asked, no concern or interest whatsoever displayed on his features.
"Yes, that brat got me here in the first place."
"Well, we'll make quite good friends then, as I also have a loathing for Peter Pan," Hook spat Peter's name as if it was vile poison on his lips. Jenna laughed softly. "What's so funny," Hook asked, his eyebrow raising.
"Well everyone knows that you and Peter aren't the best of buddies," Jenna said giggling. Captain Hook also joined in on the laughter.
"What do you intend to do in Never land?" Hook asked politely, his demeanor changing totally from when he was in front of the crew.
"Leave with my brother and sister as soon as I can."
"They're with Peter I assume."
"Yes."
"You should know that they're never coming back then."
"What?"
"Once Peter meets new children, they never go back to their parents."
"It never said this in any books." Hook smiled.
"The truth about Never land is never in any books, love."
Jenna sighed, "You know you're nicer then the tales make you out to be."
"You may think that now, but I'm sure your opinion will soon change."
Jenna eyed him nervously, he was still grinning and looking at her breasts. "Freak!" she yelled and threw a red tasseled pillow at him. "Do you have any clothes I could borrow?"
"Yes, that depends."
"On what?"
"On the price."
"For what?"
"You."
"Bastard!" Jenna yelled as she threw a painting from the wall at him. Hook laughed and leaped towards her. Jenna in turn screamed and ran away from him.
"Darling, I'm not as bad as you think."
"Really?" Jenna said as she darted behind a cabinet. "Then why are you trying to chase me then?"
"If you've lived without sex for three hundred years then you would be chasing another of the opposite sex just like I am now."
"Scoundrel!" Jenna accused loudly, trying to find another hiding place.
"Got you!" Hook yelled as he tackled Jenna to the ground and lay on top of her.
"Please don't," Jenna protested weakly.
"Why not?"
"You don't even know my name," she protested.
"So?"
"So that's all you want? You're going to use me like a whore, just for sex."
"What else would I use you for?"
Jenna slapped him hard on the cheek, leaving a red mark. He growled then grabbed for her once more.
"Haven't you ever heard of love?" Jenna asked, crawling out of Hook's way, who was now crawling on all fours.
"Yes, why?"
"Wouldn't you like that?"
"Love," Hook laughed and stood up. "My dear, I am unloved and lonely, that's how I will always be."
"How do you know that no one will ever love you?"
Hook ogled at her with shock. "What is your name love?"
"Jenna."
"Jenna, how could anyone ever love me? You obviously repulse the sight of me and there are no other women here."
"I could get to love you," Jenna suggested, not believing what she was saying. Hook stared at her. "Really, you don't know how love works do you?"
"Are you joking? I have never had a woman love me, much the less felt love. The only feeling I have ever felt towards a woman is lust. As I am sensing now." Hook started approaching her once more.
"Well then I will teach you the ways of love," Jenna stated, standing up and wiping the dust from her hands on her thighs.
"You would do that?" Hook asked, hope in his eyes.
"Yes, if you agree to terms."
"Such as?"
"Well your crew must never ever touch me or I'm gone, agreed?" Hook nodded. "Second, you must never touch me unless I let you." Hook nodded slowly, regret obvous in his eyes. "And third you must let me see my siblings."
"Agreed," Hook rubbed his hands together anxiously. "Now where do we start?"
"Start?" Jenna laughed. "You can't just start to love someone. That takes care and loving things. Like small tokens or gifts." Hook sighed, lying on the couch.
"This will be hard," he admitted shyly, reminding Jenna of a small boy.
"Yes," she laughed. Captain Hook was handsome there was no denying that, but his motives and ways of life would take some changing, definitely.
