Chapter 18

Wendy's POV:

As I fell, (it was a long way to the water) I managed to slip my hand through the large hanky tied around my hands, and tore off the blindfold. I saw something hurtling toward me at an enormous speed. Peter! He swooped underneath me and told me to be quiet with a finger to his lips as he caught me. I whispered, "Oh Peter, I'm sorry, I was too harsh-"

"No, Wendy, I was an idiot, I can't make you choose-"

"No, honestly-"

He hushed me with a finger to my lips. I then registered that he was holding me tightly to his body, and he kissed my forehead with a sorrowful smile. Even under the circumstances, Peter kissed my cheek, then my chin; small flickers of love. He grinned at me and captured my lips in a fiery kiss, next pulling away so that our lips never left each other, and whispered, "Maybe we should go kick some pirate ass."

"I agree very much good sir..." and after one last quick peck, me still in Peter's arms, he flew upward. He peeked up over the side of the ship, Tink was creating a diversion by creating a shadow with a crocodile-shaped clock. Everyone, except that calamity of a captain, Hook, was up in the rigging, hunting the "croc" down. Hook was facing the other way, so Peter and I flew up on deck, the boys perking up immediately. Peter looked incredibly proud of himself, and nodded as if to say, "So there." to the boys. Mikey was so relieved, he laughed, and Peter became alarmed, and shot behind the mast I had been tied to. Hook whipped around, eyeing the Lost Boys suspiciously, and they all tried to look polite and silent. Peter fingered his sword, dangling from his side, and smiled that sexy, slow smile. Hook turned back around, and Peter took the chance. He set me down, and I ran to the armory, which seemed like the best place to run, so I could get armed, and grab swords for the boys. I hid behind the door and looked through the crack, watching as Peter flew soundlessly in between Tootles and Curly. Hook turned around, hearing Peter's landing. He eyed the boys as though he suspected they were up to something. They gathered closer to Peter, so he wouldn't notice the extra person. Without warning, there came a splash from behind Hook. He whipped around, and Peter had the boys cut loose. They ran for the armory, where I handed them all swords or daggers. Outside, Hook had turned around and said, "So, Peter Pan. This is all your doing."

"Aye, James Hook. It's all my doing."

Hook sneered, "Proud and insolent youth. Prepare to meet thy doom!"

Peter bellowed, "Dark and sinister man, have at thee!" and engaged in sword dueling. All the pirates had come down from the rigging after Tink was exposed, except the one she made fall into the water. They advanced toward Peter, clenching their blades, yet Hook screamed, "LEAVE HIM!" then hissed, "He's mine."

"NOW!" Peter yelled, and everyone came rushing from the armory, and such a bewildered bunch of pirates, you have never seen. There was a lot of confused fighting, in which I only caught glimpses of how the others were doing between pirates I had fought to the edge, then off the plank. Nibs was riding a pirate down the stairs with the twins piled on too, then they hoisted the sea dog over the edge and dumped him over the side unceremoniously. The fight continued on until around 15 pirates were still on the ship, including Hook. There were 8 of us, the Lost Boys, Peter, and me. I was hoping we'd win. I sought Hook in the small crowd, he had grabbed Tink. No! I thought desparatley, What if he flies! He did. he dropped Tink, her little head spinning, and flew into the air. He had a horrible look of triumph on his face. He flew towards Peter, who had just made another of the pirates fall off the ship, Peter looked at Hook, who screamed, "It's Hook! He flies!" he flipped his sword (still talking in third person) and shouted gleefully, "And he likes it!" as he caught the sword on his outstretched hand. Peter looked taken aback as Hook clashed swords with Peter, but recovered quickly, not used to fighting while his opponent was flying. Oh no! I hope he does alright... I thought, as I dumped another pirate over the side of the ship. I counted again. 10 pirates to go...
