"Dear Peter,
When are you coming to visit? Nibs gets sicker each day. I keep telling him to hold on a little while longer so he can see you. The doctors hold no hope for him. Each day his breathing gets worse. He has a terrible cough and is running a 102 fever. I stay with him each night, holding his hand telling him stories about you. When will you come?"
Wendy let out a long sigh. She needed Peter more than every, and he wasn't writing or visiting. She was certain he had forgotton. She laid her head down on the desk where she sat.A cool breeze sent a shiver down her spine. " I don't remember leaving the window open,"she thought.
Suddenly, a hand covered her eyes. She was about to scream when another hand covered her mouth.She stomped hard on her attacker's foot, but he didn't let go." Ow! That's no way to treat the one you claim to love!"the attacker replied. Wendy let out a muffled cry as he relesed her.
"Peter," she whispered," I thought you had forgotton." " Me forget, never,"he replied.She silently took him in. Wow, he had changed. His once boyish figure was fading into that of a young man. He no longer wore leaves, but he now wore loose open shirts and loose trousers. His boyish body had devoloped into a musclur body.He had grown a whole foot. His once dark blonde hair now glowed light blonde from sun. It hung right above his eyes. His skin glowed from sun. The only thing that hadn't changed was his bright green eyes.They still held that boyish mischeif look in them.
Peter watched her take him in and he did the same. She'd changed too. Her girlish figure was devoloping. Her once flat chest was now becoming that of a young lady's.Her waist was tinier than it was the last time he had seen her. She had gotten taller. Her skin was still the pale color it always was. Her curly cheasnut brown hair was pulled back by a black ribbon. She wore a scoop neck long sleeve white top with a loose black skirt which fell to her ankles. Her once lively baby blue eyes where now dark blue and sad looking. He could hardly stand the sadness in them.
"Are we just going to stare at each other or can I see the boys?"he asked jokingly.
Wendy felt heat rushing to her cheeks," Oh how rude of me, yes let's go see the boys. We must be quiet though"
They walked down the hall silently to the boys' room. Wendy did a quiet rap on the door before entering. The boys were all sitting on the floor whispering quietly. They had been waiting on Wendy to tell them a story, but she had never came. She motioned for Peter to enter the room. The look on the boys' faces was one of bewilderment. Suddenly they all started talking at once."Shush, we do not wish wake Mother or Father. If you have to say something to Peter, raise your hands."Wendy told them. All of their hands shot up at once.
"John, you may go first."Wendy said.
"Who is he?"John questioned curiously.
" I am Peter Pan. Do you not remember me?You stayed some time with me in Neverland."Peter answered.
" I must be dreaming. I have never met you in my life. You look like a savage though." John said rudely.
"JOHN! Hold your tongue! Never have I seen you act so rudely in front of company.You will behave in a civilized way,not as a child." Wendy scolded.
" He is not company.He is some boy whom you all talk about.You are the one acting as a child. You brought him here to take you away from all of this trouble with Nibs.You were only pretending to care about Nibs till Peter got here. That, my dear sister, is not very proper."John said cruely.
Wendy gasped and raised a hand to slap John, but Peter caught it before it hit John.
" You two musn't fight. Wendy, it is ok he does not remember me. I am perfectly fine with that, but please do not hit him in front of the others," Peter said calmly," And as for you John, you're sister did not send for me. I chose to come. Nibs is a dear friend to me, as many of the boys here are.You should not say those things about your sister. She spends almost all her time with Nibs. She loves Nibs, and she would never pretend to care about him. So I will remind you to hold your tongue"
"I ,sir, do not care about what you have to say.With that, I am excusing myself from this conversation."John turn and walked out of the room.
" Well I think it is getting awfully late and that you boys shall go to bed.Wendy and I have some things to discuss."Peter told the boys.
He helped Wendy tuck them in and kiss them all goodnight. They clicked off the light and walked out.
A/n: Kind of a confusing chapter. I know it's not a letter but I couldn't really write a letter for this chapter. It's kind of a cliffhanger. I will update soon.
Love
