Sorry the chapter is short again, but i'm hopeing submitting it right after the other one will somewhat make up for it.
Focus
The scream penetrated the quiet underbrush, cascading off the very large tree in the center of the clearing. Well at least he knew she was nearby, if only she would keep up that screaming then he wouldn't have to worry about tracking her down.
"Warren, take Quinn and Twin that way," he pointed lazily toward the left, "Cricket and Moe will go right." the boys walked toward the area where he was pointing. "Fallen, Gaffer, and Highbred are going that way," indicating behind him with his thumb, "I'm going this way." Pointing in front of him, and the direction the scream had first come.
"All of you should search until you get to the edge of the woods, then come back." Each boy in turn walked toward his areas, looking in every bush and also in every tree. Peter darted off into the bushes, scattering the plants as he expertly fly through them, his hand clasped to his sheathed sword.
As the trees brushed by his face he let his mind wander, if this wasn't Wendy's relative then why was she living in the Wendy's house. What about that thing she said about Wendy's granddaughter, and then it hit him, the pained looked echoed in his eyes.
"Now let us take a peep into the future shall we,"He stopped in his tracks, brushing away the memory along with the thoughts. Focus here and now, over and over he said that in his mind as he looked everywhere for the lost girl.
...---------Scene Change---------...
Kari's mind reeled, if Captain Hook was swallowed how did his arm (including the hook) get here? She had to shut her eyes from the frightening sight. Wait, maybe it wasn't an arm, slowly squinting her eyes open, she looked again, sighing as she noticed the piece of linen attached to it. No it wasn't an arm, just her mind playing tricks on her…
"The great, astounding, amazing Kevin the magnificent!" The boy in the cape delicately picked up a black, white tipped wand with a gloved hand. Coming up to a little girl with short black hair, he waved the wand in front of her and with his extra hand whipped out a bouquet of wild flowers from behind his back. She giggled and clasped the flowers in her small hands and gingerly smelled them, while Kevin's 100-watt smile showed over the top of the bouquet.
Shaking her head Kari reminded her self to stay focused. (a/n ha ha ha, it's the title of the chapter, I figured I would use it again) The important thing was to figure out why Hook's hook (a/n I just couldn't resist) was here in the first place.
Turning around, to her amazement she came face-to-face with a shelf of books- no wait, almost a library of books. There were 3 walls of books, a small table with one chair was seated near the edge that didn't have a shelf of books, dust was piled everywhere. Pulling a hand through her hair, she decided to make do with what she had; a library of books and the whole afternoon.
Sorry if that hook/arm thing is alittle gruesome, I didn't put it in detail (thanks heavens) otherwise it would be icky for you and me, and plus it wasn't a hand in the first place (and now i'm starting to babble).
Broken Starlight: Why, gracias, and I feel really bad about the short chapters, I just don't have the time and skill to do long chapters. I don't think i'll give this up soon, I like writing it, i'm kind of making it up as I go along. Thank you, it's very nice to hear it when people like my stories!
See you later,
