Chapter 11-Waiting for Peter
It took the others a while to realize that Peter was gone.
The 'house' was completely finished, along with some minor mistakes, such as gaping holes in the roof and a piece of Curley's furs nailed into the wall.
This was about the time that Nibs thought he'd find Peter. He called out very loudly and he even checked all of Peter's usually (and predictable) hiding places, but he could not find the boy.
As one can imagine, Curley got very worried. He ran back to the boys, who were standing about admiring their handiwork, and broke the news and gently as possible.
"Peter's gone! He's been taken! We're all gonna die!"
The boys disintegrated into a panic. They all ran in circles, arms splayed high in the air, screaming. It all ended very abruptly with Tootles running into one of the twins.
"Now, now boys!" said Wendy very calmly.
Tootles and the twin picked themselves up and brushed themselves off.
"We shouldn't be too worried about Peter. Maybe he's just gone on a little…trip…"
The Lost Boys thought about this for a moment before answering Wendy. Finally Nibs spoke up.
"Maybe…" he said hesitantly.
Reluctantly the other boys agreed that Peter could have just taken a trip somewhere, even though it was highly unlikely because he hadn't said anything to them and he had just gotten back from one.
Deep down, Wendy was worried.

The Jolly Roger was heavy and dark-wooded in the shaded light of the lagoon.
Captain Hook stood on deck, awaiting the return of Noodler and Smee. If only they would hurry up with the damn boy! Hook paced with agitated anticipation, sneaking looks out of the cabin window. Every creak of the deck sent him into panic.
Finally he saw them, rowing their was rhythmically across the lagoon. Hook abruptly stopped pacing and sat down delicately at his seat. He placed his red hat of his greasy black hair and fluffed the feather up. He tightened his hook carefully, digging the tip slightly into his heavy desk, waiting….waiting.

Peter didn't even try to escape.
He actually smiled as they crossed the lagoon to the Jolly Roger. Noodler shot Smee a look as they paddled.
"Lovely day out here, isn't it?" asked Peter good-naturedly.
In truth, it was a very nice day. Smee looked to the sky and shrugged. "Yes, I guess it is."
Noodler looked up too. The sky was bright and clear, the clouds sparse, allowing blue sky to shine through. Peter tucked his lip over his bottom jam and blew. Hard. A high whistling filled the air, vibrating off of his cheeks and into the air. Noodler and Smee looked around, clearly surprised.
In no time something shot over the volcano in the middle of the island. It curved down, hesitated momentarily at about 1000 feet away and then shot forward. Faerie dust surrounded them, lifting the boat from the water and into the shallow air. Peter zoomed off the rowboat seat, like a rocket headed sky bound. His hands were still tied behind his back.
Hook would not be happy.

But Hook wouldn't know. At least, not for a while.
He was waiting at his desk still. The groove from his hook on the wood was growing deeper.
The blood red feather on his hat was swaying faintly in the wind, to and fro, brushing slightly against his shoulders. And he waited. Why he didn't turn around he doesn't even know. Perhaps it was the hope that, Peter Pan would come through his cabin door, begging for mercy.
But where did Peter go? Here's his escape…
