The American Adventure!

Ch. 23 Too Late!

Wendy waited. She waited in that little black cell and cried. She waited to either be taken to her death or be saved by the brave Peter Pan. Wendy cried for there was a possibility Peter didn't even know she was in Neverland, and if he didn't know she would surly die at sunrise.

As Wendy laid there in the darkness and cried softly to herself she slowly fell into a slumber.

DREAM

Wendy felt moist all around her.

It wasn't the usual dream she had been having before; this one was more dark and drastic.

This time she saw no mystery man or Peter. She was alone. She was scared.

But then suddenly fish looking things began to float around her. Wendy looked closely at them curious of what they were.

Her eyes went wide. They were mermaids. She could tell from their appearance. But if they were floating around her that meant she had to be underwater.

Wendy looked up towards the surface and seen the little sun light that rested atop the swirling water.

Wendy suddenly had to breathe. She tried to make her way up to the surface, but couldn't once she realized her ankles were chained to the bottom among the reefs of the water.

Wendy tried to scream for help at the Mermaids that were still swimming around her. But all that came from her mouth was a bunch of air bubbles that replaced the scream for help.

Wendy struggled in fear of drowning and tried to swim with her arms while making an attempt to break the chains by pulling. The mermaids just continued on swimming around her and sometimes pointed and laughed at her attempt to escape.

Why wouldn't they help her Wendy thought?

They never liked her since the day she first came to Neverland so of course they wouldn't help her! She had taken up all of Peter's attention from them and that they didn't like a bit.

As Wendy struggled for her life she suddenly saw a flash of metal in front of her and then she heard a voice. "WENDY...It's time to die!"

END DREAM

Wendy opened her eyes and dreaded the sight. Hook was standing right in front of her, with a few men and Smee standing behind him holding candles that lit the dark cell brightly.

Hook: Good Morning Wendy! I know it's early but I wondered if you would join me for a little execution that's about to take place.

Wendy glared at him and spit at his feet.

Hook continued to smile.

Hook: I'll take that as a yes! MEN...get her to her feet and take her above!

Two men grabbed her by her shoulders and stood her up, at the same time she cried out in pain from the deep wound in her shoulder.

Hook: Oh, poor Wendy! Does that still hurt? Well, don't worry about that. Once you're dead it won't give you any troubles.

Hook laughed evilly as he led the way up followed by an also laughing crew, a scared Wendy, and a sorrowful Smee.

MERMAIDS LAGOON: NEVERLAND

Peter still sat there and stared at the locket in his hand with mixed emotions.

Wendy could be here in Neverland he thought. Maybe she came to apologize; to apologize and then stay with him in Neverland. He smiled at the thought of finding Wendy and bringing her to the new lost boys to be their new mother. What great new adventures they would have with Wendy here.

Peter jumped up in joy from his thoughts and yelled out his happiness.

Peter: YIPPEY! SHE'S HERE!

He landed back down softly on the stone he had been sitting on, while the mermaids smiled at his happiness, but was confused at why he was so happy all of a sudden.

Mermaids: Squeek! Squeek! Squeek! Squeek? Who is here Peter?

Peter: Squeek! Wendy!

The mermaids looked at him in horror.

Mermaids: Squeek! Squeek! That girl?

Peter nodded and held up the locket to them.

Peter: Squeek! Squeek! Squeek! Yes, and this is hers.

The Mermaid who had worn it and thought it was pretty now looked at it in disguise.

Mermaids: Squeek! Squeek! Squeek! Get it away! Away with it!

They began to swim back under water to get away from the object that belonged to that horrible girl. But Peter called out to the one who had found the locket before her head touched the water.

Peter: Squeek! Squeek! Squeek! Hey wait! Wait!

The mermaid stayed above water but far from the shore where Peter stood. He began to fly over to her but she yelled at him to stop for she didn't want to be close to the locket.

Mermaid: Squeek! Squeek! Squeek? What do you want?

Peter: Squeek! Squeek! Squeek! I just wondered where you found this.

The mermaid pointed towards the open water.

Mermaid: Squeek! Squeek! Squeek! Squeek! Squeek! Squeek! Over there below the surface in the reefs. It was almost directly under Hooks ship.

And with that she disappeared into the dark and cold water leaving Peter shocked of what she had said.

HOOK! How could Hook have Wendy! Peter had watched Hook secretly without any of the pirates knowing, and nothing had ever happened. It was always so boring and still. So how could Peter miss Wendy if she was being held prisoner on the ship.

I know Peter thought. Wendy must have come right after I left my nightly watch on Hook. That Codfish must have seen her and grabbed her causing her locket to fall from around her neck and into the water below. Yes that's what happened. Peter smiled at himself for thinking up the great explanation of how Wendy had gotten captured without him knowing.

Thinking he needed help, Peter put the locket away in his vines and flew up into the sky and headed towards the tree where the lost boys and Tink were still probably asleep. But he quickly changed his mind and turned towards the direction of the Jolly Roger. He could rescue Wendy by himself he thought. He did it before and he could do it again for he was the Peter Pan.

So he flew off towards the Jolly Roger thinking of what a great adventure it was going to be to face Hook again finally and rescue Wendy at the same time.

JOLLY ROGER: NEVERLAND ALMOST DAWN

We now see Wendy standing on the deck of the ship with her hands tied behind her back and her mouth covered tightly. Pirates where standing and laughing evilly all around her, Hook stood at her right getting ready to say some sort of speech, and Smee stood next to him blowing his nose in order to try and not to cry. And what was at her left was the thing that frightened her the most that morning. It was the plank. The thing she would take her last step on towards her death. Where was Peter when she needed him?

Hook cleared his throat to begin, but couldn't for the crew was laughing and making fun of Wendy.

Hook: Smee?

Smee brought his hands to his mouth and gave out a shout.

Smee: ALL QUIET! YOUR CAPAIN IS ABOUT TO SPEAK!

All became quiet.

Hook: I am very sorry to say that we will soon witness the execution of one of our own. The best story teller we ever had...Red Handed Jill.

One man began to cry out loud for he remembered the great stories Wendy had told those years ago. Hook not really caring took out his gun and shot the man over board causing Wendy to jump in fright. But Hook continued on.

Hook: But from all this men we will finally get our revenge. We are about to kill the person the Pan cares most about. BY KILLING HER WE WILL GET OUR REVENGE FROM PAN'S PAIN. NOW PUT HER TO THE PLANK AND LET OUR REVENGE BEGIN!

The whole crew cheered in response.

Wendy was being pushed towards the plank. She tried pushing back but it was no use; they were to strong. She tried to scream but her mouth was covered tightly. Wendy was now on the plank being pushed towards the end with a sword to her back.

The crew began a chant: DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!

As Wendy walked towards her end she thought of her life back on earth.

Goodbye Family!
