Well I was 10 reviews short of 100 but maybe I will get them for this chappie! Thanks for all who reviewed, especially Rolletti who is so supportive and nice! Sorry it took me so long to update, I have been super busy with school (ucky) and stuff. I am going to Bumbershoot tomorrow which will be soo cool. I am seeing the Killersâdoes anyone know who they are and if so do you like them? I love them and would recommend them to everybody. Well here's the story you all are waiting for (I hope lol)! Oh and this is going to be a really short chapter until I have time to write a longer one so bear with me and no flames please lol.
Wendy did not know how long she had been asleep, she didn't even know she had fallen asleep, but she awoke to bright light all around her and she found herself tied to a chair with ropes that were too tight. She looked up, squinting her eyes against the blinding light, but as soon as it had appeared it went away and a door slammed. Wendy let her head slump to her chest. She felt exhausted and she couldn't feel her hands or feet. All too soon sleep claimed her. Wendy dreamed. She dreamed that Peter was standing before her, smiling, holding a valentine of all things. She recognized it as a valentine that she had made a neighbor boy when she was young. The boy had been afraid of cooties and had thrown it away. Suddenly the valentine transformed into a dagger and Peter, still smiling advanced on her, and he lifted it up to strike-
A light came on again, startling Wendy out of another dream. She had been having many dreams lately, all full of death and sadness. She felt sick, she had not eaten for at least three days and the rocking of the ship made her queasy. The light disappeared again, leaving her in darkness. Wendy knew that three days had passed since she had been carried below and it had been three days of absolute agony. Every time she fell asleep the light would go on, as if they knew the exact moment when she slipped into unconsciousness. The lack of sleep and food was making Wendy weak; she had already thrown up everything in her stomach and there was cold water up to her ankles making her shiver. Her thin clothing did not keep her warm and harsh coughs wracked her body until it hurt to breathe.
Wendy had been sure that Peter would have come for her by now. Every moment she expected him to come down the stairs, sweep her up into his arms and fly away. But her fantasies did not become reality and every moment that she had to sit in this chair, becoming weaker by the second, drove her mad. The light came on again. Wendy snapped her head up, her eyes watering.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!!" She screamed, her voice ragged. A cold laugh came from behind the light and Wendy recognized it as bone chilling laugh of Captain Raven.
"Oh Wendy Darling, are you losing it so soon?" Raven asked and Wendy, still blinded, heard heavy boot steps advancing upon her. Wendy was too weak to be afraid and she squinted her eyes in a vain attempt to see her enemy. "Now that you areâemotionally unstable I am sure that you will be more willing to answer my simple questions." The boot steps stopped right in front of Wendy. "Am I right?"
Wendy gathered all of the saliva that she could scrape out of her dry mouth and hurled it out in front of her, something that she would have never thought of doing back home but in Neverland it did not matter.
"Well that was uncalled for." Raven said and suddenly Wendy's chair was shoved back and she fell to the floor, her head hitting the ground, sending sparks across her vision. Wendy lay on the ground, gasping for the breath that had been knocked out of her and trying to stay conscious, although she didn't know if it would be better to be awake for whatever Raven had in store for her.
Raven stooped down next to the dazed girl and seized a chunk of her hair, wrenching her face close to hers. "You are going to tell me everything you know or you will wake up with your foot in your lap." Raven threatened.
Wendy had sworn that she would not give in to torture but the threat of having her foot cut off terrified her. She could not betray Peter, he meant too much to her.
"Why are you protecting Peter Pan Wendy?" Raven asked, her voice suddenly becoming very kind. "Do you really think that he would do the same for you? Peter would give you up in a heartbeat if it meant that he could keep his limbsâand you know it."
'Don't listen to her!' Wendy's heart screamed at her but her head muttered something different. 'You do know that she is right Wendy; you've known it all along. Give Peter up, he is not worth you losing your life. He has no potential, he is just a boy despite his appearance, but you, you have real potential, you were meant to grow up to be something great.'
'But you love Peter and he loves you; that's all that matters. Never give him up, you know that he would never betray you, he is probably on his way right now.' Her heart said and Wendy wanted so badly to believe it but her mind would not be put to rest.
'Stop being so stupid, no boy, even Peter Pan is worth paying the ultimate price for.'
Raven looked at the girl who had slipped into her own world. Her eyes were glazed over and her jaw lay slack. The she started muttering, she was having an argument with herself it seemed. Raven decided to listen, she had time, she had all the time in the world.
'Didn't mother always tell you to listen to your heart? Well Wendy listen to me! Peter is the one who owns your special kiss; he is the only one. Aunt Millicent told you it was like slipping in and out of heaven and you have experienced that with Peter. Sure it is hard but it is worth it!'
'That's so cliché, stop listening to your, sappy heart! You are better off without love, it is so impractical and it only leads to situations like this.'
Ebony was getting tired of listening to the insane ramblings of this half-concious girl. She dropped Wendy's head with a thud and began walking out of the room, a little disappointed at not learning anything but feelings a little triumphant that it would not be long before her torture worked on the girl.
"Wait." A tiny, raspy voice called out of the dark and Raven turned around and headed back.
"What is it Wendy dear?" Raven said in a mock, singsong voice.
"Can you read and write?" Wendy asked and Raven was baffled by this question but decided to go along with it.
"Of course my dear why do you ask?"
"Get something to write on." Wendy said and Raven shouted for someone. In an instant a crewmember appeared.
"Get this lady a piece of parchment, quill ,and ink out of my quarters." Raven demanded and the man disappeared, returning a few moments later with the requested items. "What is it that you would like me to write?"
"H-C-N-E-W-U-O-Y-L-L-E-H-O-T-G-O" Wendy recited. Raven stared at the letter she had written down. "Got that? Now reverse it." Raven did as she was told and it too her a moment to realize what Wendy had said. Fury exploded inside her as she read the paper.
GOTOHELLYOUWENCH
Raven unsheathed her sword, deciding it was time to dispose of the useless girl. She swung the weapon up in a great arch and with all her might she struck downwards at Wendy Darling.
