PART TWO:
Chapter 1
Blame it on the bloody pigeon
It had been a week sense Riley was taken back to Earth, and Peter was suffering greatly from the loss. His heart ached to be near her, to touch her, to kiss her, but he couldn't, not yet at least. He had bigger problems to deal with, other responsibilities to uphold. He couldn't leave his home behind! Not while Hook still had the eye anyway. Sure, Neverland wasn't in immediate danger of being destroyed sense every time the Eye is used the codes change. A fairy security trick. All the same though, Hook still had it and with enough work had a chance of discovering the new code and bringing about the destruction of Neverland. It made him shudder to even think about his precious home demolished. No, he couldn't let that happen. Even if it did mean he wouldn't see Riley again. Peter let out a sigh, shifting sides in his hammock. Right now, the important thing was to think of a plan to get the Eye back. He and the Lost Boys could attack the ship? No, he had put them through enough already. This was his fight and he would fight it by himself, no matter the price. Swinging his legs off the side of the hammock, he pulled himself to a standing position. Walking through his draped bear skin door, he made his way past the sleeping Lost Boys, and out of the tree hut, into the cool night's air.
Peter braced himself to shoot up in the air, but before he could actually go anywhere, behind him, an angry chime shattered the night's silence. He sluggishly turned around, frustration covering every inch of his angelic face. "Tink, I'm just going out for a bit! Now, why are you out here!?" The slender Pixie crossed her arms in a motherly manner, letting out another strand of her beautiful bell language. Peter rolled his eyes. "Why would I be going to see Hook!?" She stared at him with an I-know-your-lying-so-don't-even-try-it-with-me-Peter-Pan look. Peter threw his hands up in exasperation. "Fine! Yes! I'm going to Hook! Happy!?" Tinker Bell flew in close to his face chiming loudly. He swished her away with his hand. "Oh stop it! I'm Peter Pan remember, and Peter Pan never loses a fight!" Especially, against someone like that codfish Hook!" The fairy rolled her eyes, then, turning red in rage, she flew off muttering curses. Peter shook his head, took one last glance at the mad pixie, then. shot off through the sky, heading for the Jolly Roger.
AN: ( Sure hasn't lost his huge ego, that boy.)
~*~
After one weeks time of deep concentration and use of keen logic, Captain James Hook jumped for his seat holding the Eye of Neverland up in the air proudly. "AH HA!! I'VE GOT IT SMEE!! I'V GOT IT!!" The clumsy, plump, Mr. Smee ran over, tripping over himself a few times on the way.
"A-are you s-sure Captain? I mean a-after all, it could open a-any of the li-light doors sir.." Hook's eyes flamed.
" OF COURSE I'VE GOT IT!! THIS IS THE CODE THAT WILL OPEN THE DOOR AND DESTROY NEVERLAND!!!" Smee stared uneasily at the Eye.
" B-but how can you be s-sure?" The Captain rounded on him, anger coloring his features.
" I JUST KNOW YOU HALF-WIT!!"
"B-but-" He cut him off ready to blow, but instead, trying to control his temper, replied calmly.
"Mr. Smee are you questioning your Captain!?"
"N-no sir.."
"Then do shut up! You're giving me a headache! Now, back to business. Smee, would you kindly get Mr. Ti-" he didn't get to finish his sentence, as suddenly, bursting through the cabin door was a stout pirate, a worried look on his face. Hook smiled. "Aww...Mr. Timms, I was just about to call you! I want you to send a message to Peter Pan inviting him to my ship! We have something to show him!" Mr. Timms looked uneasily at the Captain.
"You see sir I would, but I don't think that's necessary." Hook stood his full height hovering over the man .
"And why is that!?" The pirate backed up in fear.
"Be-because Captain sir..he's already here!" Hook's eyes widened in surprise. Pushing the trembling pirate aside, he made his way out the cabin door onto the creaking ship deck. There, hovering above a sail, was Peter Pan. His face was set determined and his sword and his sword at his ready. Hook grinned sinisterly walking out into the center of the deck to greet Peter.
"Peter! What a pleasant surprise!" Peter's expression remained unmoved.
"Skip the act Hook, and hand over the Eye!"
"Come down here and maybe I will." Pan cast a suspicious glance down at the Captain, but floated down to the ground despite his distrust in the man.
"Know, give me the Eye before I'm forced to hurt you!" Hook rubbed his chin deep in thought.
"Hmm..no." Peter scowled at the one handed man, before swiftly pulled out his blade.
"Then prepare to have it taken from you!" He rushed forward yelling out a war cry swinging his sword high above him head. Hook only managed to get his own sword out seconds before Peter's came slashing down at him. The swords clanked together, dancing in a shower of sparks. The boy and the man stared at each other, glowing with hatred and rage. Again, they both moved at each other, slicing the air with the blades. neither removing the sneer from their faces.
Hook threw a punch at Peter. He caught his first, twisted, and held it behind his back making the codfish holler in pain. Peter withdrew his knife from his waist and held it to his neck grinning smugly.
"Now, hand over the Eye and I'll kindly let you life!" Hook wouldn't be beaten that easily though, and quickly dug his elbow hard into the flying boy's ribs making him stumble back. Stepping forward, Hook swung his sword. Peter only just got out of the way in time. The man swung again, but this time the boy was ready. He extended his sword forward and the two blades once again clanged as they hit each other. Suddenly, the codfish smiled and twisted his sword together with Peters, sending his sword flying from his hand and landing in a bundle of rope near by. The Boy's eyes grew. He was weaponless.
Hook took no time before slashing forward at Peter. He ducked, missing him by inches. He lowered himself to the ground pushing up with his hands, and swinging both his feet around. Peter's feet collided with the Captains knocking him over on to his back. Hook growled preparing to stand back up and finish the fight, but suddenly, there was a clank, and he froze. Slowly, he turned his head in the direction of the clank, praying to God that it wasn't what he thought it was. As his eyes met the cause of the sound though, he groaned. Lying at Peter's feet was none other then The Eye of Neverland.
The teenager's eyes grew as realisation of what lye at his feet started to sink it. The Eye.. All of a sudden, as if something had smacked them in the head, they both sprang forward at the Eye trying to capture it in their grasps. Hook's hand reached it first, but quickly jerked back with pain as Peter sunk his teeth into it. It know lye in Peter's clutches. The codfish growled and grabbed the boy's wrist, holding it in a torturous grip. He had no choice, but to obey the bone crushing grip and drop the Eye. At the same time their hands again reached out for the Eye, both scowled as they fought to get it from each other's hold. Unexpectedly, a click echoed from the Eye, followed by a burst of light. Peter and Hook stared in panic. Uh oh.. Springing to their feet, they pushed each other aside in horror trying to get as far as they could from the opening Eye.
Hook snarled in anger. "YOU STUPID BOY!! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!" He pulled Peter to the ground, speeding ahead. He ignored the pain that shot through his chest from the fall to the ground and quickly grabbed Hook's foot, locking his arms around it. He was set that if he was going to where ever the Eye would take them, the pirate was coming too. The Captain shook his leg violently, determined to get the bloody boy off him. Suddenly, there was a flash, and a blinding white light surrounded them, making them cover their eyes in severe pain and fall to the ground. Another flash, and the light was gone as fast as it came. Peter rubbed his eyes. Spinning his head around, he faced the now hovering Eye. It was happening. The same way it happened with Riley. It was going to take them to Earth. He stood up watching as the same ghostly hand whisked like smoke from the Eye, but this time followed by more hands. He watched as each hand slithered through the air like a snake, searching for it's prey. Spotting him, the hand floated in front of him preparing to strike. Peter braced himself. Well, at least I'll see Riley again.. The next thing he knew, the hand shot through him, feeling as if it was tearing his soul to shreds and ripping it out. He feel to his knees gasping for air, but no air came. He felt like he was suffocating, and he pretty much was. The next second the pain was gone, along with all other feeling.
Peter looked down t his hands that were now a transparent light. His eyes widened in disbelief. He turned, searching for Hook. He, along with other unfortunate pirate were also on their knees slowly fading away. His gaze fell back onto the Eye, which was beginning to start up again. It spun wildly around, causing a whirlwind. The huge wind swept through Peter knocking him up against the side of the ship.
He watched as the wind began to twine together like pieces of silver thread. He tried to move forward, but the wind knocked him back again. He was pinned the ship wall and all he could do was watch. The silver threads of wind seemed to be getting brighter. They were getting so bright Peter had to look away. All of a sudden, he was being pulled forward as was everything else around him. The last thing he remembered was thinking here I come Rye..before he disappeared into the light of the Eye, along with Hook and others.
~*~
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Riley Parkerson moaned as she moved to whack the blasted alarm clock across the room for depriving her of her precious sleep. Her hand hit nothing though, as she swept it across the oak nightstand positioned next to her bed. the annoying screech of the alarm clock raged one. Riley growled. I'll kill him! This is the third time this week he's hidden it! She groaned and rolled over, slamming a pillow over her head trying to ignore the dreaded beep of the alarm. It did no good though, as the sound went right through her pillow sound barrier. Letting out a frustrated sigh, she rolled over, but to her surprise, there happened to be no more bed to roll over on and she feel smack into the floor. All she could do was let out a pathetic pout, having no energy to do much else.
Slowly pulling her exhausted body to its feet, she scanned the area, listening intently to find where he had hidden the alarm. Targeting the sound over by her chest of drawers, she stumbled her way over. She pulled out drawer after drawer, throwing her clothes in every which direction, but nothing was there. Absolutely nothing. She cursed loudly. Where the hell is it!?!? She kicked the chest of drawers in rage, blaming it for not holding the alarm. She quickly regretted it as a shooting white-hot pain ran up her toe. Dropping to the floor, she hugged her foot closely trying to suppress the pain. Suddenly, she noticed something. The Beep, Beep, Beep of the alarm was louder then before, meaning she was close. very close.
Riley shot her head around and found herself staring directly at her laundry basket. She smiled wickedly. It was in there, she knew it. Quickly as possible, she made her way through the laundry, looking somewhat like a lion would when it was ripping it's prey to shreds. Pulling the last item of clothing from the basket, there it was, hollering away like a siren of an ambulance. She laughed insanely. "I've got you now!!" Picking the annoying thing up, she walked over to the window, opened it up wide, and watched with great pleasure as the alarm tumbled down the two-story house. She chuckled at the clocks demise and took in the fresh morning air. Then, she let out a sigh as memories of Neverland and it's lush greenery and fresh air flooded through her head.
She missed Neverland, but most of all she missed Peter. There wasn't a day that went by she didn't think of him. He promised he would see me again..and he will.. Riley brushed a strand of falling hair away from her face. I just wish he would hurry up.. It had been almost half a year sense she had seen him and she was starting to lose hope of seeing him again. No.. She shook the thoughts of doubt from her head. He will come back. I know he will. With one last sigh, she turned from her bedroom window, and made her way to the stairs.
Trampling down the stairs, she sleepily made her way to the kitchen the alluring smell of breakfast catching her attention and guiding her. Mmm..Pancakes! Riley rushed forward through the kitchen door, making the person cooking breakfast suddenly, jump in surprise, and fling a pancake up to the ceiling. She cracked a smile.
"You know Dad, I usually like to eat off a plate..not the ceiling." Mr Parkerson smirked.
"Ha Ha Ha..very funny. Now sit down and eat." Riley smiled.
"Gladly!" She licked her lips as two plate sized pancakes were placed on her plate. Grabbing her fork, she cut and shoved a piece into her mouth hungrily. Riley gagged as the most disgusting taste filled her mouth. Is he trying to kill me!! I don't know what these are, but they are definitely not pancakes!! She quickly spit the contents of her mouth onto the plate. She watched as her Dad's smile became a disappointed frown.
"What? Are they that bad?" Riley put on a fake grin.
"No..no they are great! No, they are better then great! They are the best pancakes I have ever had!! I just spit them out because..they..were..uh HOT! Yes..hot. So I think I will just wait a few moments for them to cool down a bit." Her father's grin reappeared.
"Really? The best? Then why don't you take some more! Here.." He plopped two more pancakes down onto her plate. Riley growled. You just had to open your mouth, didn't you!?!
"Thanks dad. They look great.." She pulled up another piece on the fork staring at it disgustedly, before making herself shove it into her mouth.
"Mmm.." He beamed down at her. Satisfied, he made his way back to the stove to clean up and drink his coffee. The second his back was turned, she quickly spit the pancakes out into the trash. Note to self: Never Let him fix breakfast again! Riley sighed. She at least had to give him points for trying. I mean, he hasn't had it easy. Four moths ago her mother had been sent to an Alcohol Addiction Center, and her dad had moved back in, resuming the responsibilities of being a father. It was awkward and a little tough to deal with at first, but she was leaning to except it. All and All, he was doing a pretty good job. Well, with the exception of cooking of course. It ok though, it was definitely better then living with her mom and day. Riley yawned. They were no where close to being a normal family again, but it was a good start.
Riley glanced up at the microwave clock, yawning yet again. Reading the time, she cried out, springing from her seat.
"DAD!! IT'S 8:00!!" He looked carelessly over at the clock.
"Hmm..so it is.." Riley slapped her hand to her head.
"DAD, SCHOOL STARTS AT 8: 30 AND I'M NOT EVEN DRESSED!!" He smiled. Why is he finding this funny!?! He set his coffee cup down.
"Well, then I suggest you hurry." She let out a frustrated sigh, before rushing out of the kitchen, up the stairs, and into the bathroom to get ready.
Once again, she made her way down the stairs, but this time clean and dressed. Making it to the front door, she suddenly stopped, remembering something.
"Oh! I almost forgot! Could you buy me a new alarm clock on your way to work?" He father placed his hands on his hips like a mother would.
"Riley Danielle!! You threw it out the window again!?! This is the fourth time this week!" She smiled.
"Well, maybe you should stop hiding them!" He growled.
"Well how else am I suppose to get you up in the morning!? Throw a bucket of water on you!?" Riley froze, her eyes glazing over in memories. Peter.. She shook it off. Shrugging in reply to her father, she said her good byes, then made her way out the front door heading to her green Toyota Camry.
~*~
" Miss Parkerson!!" Riley snapped out of her daydream as her name was shrilly called out. "Miss Parkerson!! Would you kindly pay attention when I'm talking!?!"
" Yes Mrs. Hardrite?"
"Your assignment please." Riley contorted her face in confusion.
"Assignment? What assignment?"
"The one that is due today. " She cocked her eyebrow.
"OH! That assignment! Ya...don't have it." The teacher scrunched up her pug nose.
"And why not!?" Riley winced as the shriek reached her ears.
"Would you buy my dog ate it?" A few student laughed behind her. Mrs. Hardrite squinted her eyes in a glare, obviously not amused.
"No." She shot one last death glare at Rye, before moving on to collect the next student's paper. Riley rolled her eyes and went back to her daydream.
* Next Class*
Riley slouched over desperately trying to keep her eyes open and pay attention to the droning of the Science teacher..or was it the Math teacher.. hmm. Who knows when your not paying attention! She Fiddled with her fingers finding it quit amusing for some reason, but then again, if you had a teacher like Mr. Thornburg, you would find just about anything more amusing. Especially, when he teaches a subject like Math.. or was it Science.. Would somebody please tell me what the hell this class is!?! She let out a sigh. She looked to her friend Alyssia, who gave her a quick wink. Riley smiled in return, then, began to fiddle with her fingers again. Soon enough her mind began to drift..I wonder what Peter is doing right now..Why hasn't he come back yet? Why is he making me suffer? Why would he do that? Why can't Hayden Christensen be a few years younger!?! WHY!?! It's not fai- She was cut off as all of a sudden something very cold and slimy rolled down her back, making her spring up instantly from her seat. "WAHOOO!!!" Chalk in hand, a very frustrated Mr. Thornburg, turned around at the outburst.
"Riley is there a problem!?" She heard some boys behind her snicker. She mentally promised to ruin their lives later. She looked around nervously, thinking up an excuse.
"well..umm..you see..there was..well..I thought I saw a spider..a umm..really big spider..and uh..as part of the-uh-the.." She looked around frantically searching for something that would help. SHe smiled as her eyes landed on a Protect The Wildlife poster. "The PTWL club, that is, the protect the wildlife club..I thought I would..uh..save it! Yes..save it..because..you..see..no one loves the animals more then me Mr. T!" She laughed nervously. Riley put a hand to her heart. " I don't think I could bare it if that precious part of our wildlife died!" He cocked and eyebrow obviously not buying it.
"Really? The PTWL?"
"Yes Mr. Thorburg. I SAY LETS FIGHT FOR THE ANIMALS!!" She shot her hand up in the air with fake pride. He smiled smugly.
"And I say you, me, detention after school!" he shot his hand up in the air mocking her. Riley sank low in her chair sulking.
"Or..I guess we could do that too.." He made his way back to the chalkboard.
'Oh and Miss Parkerson.." He turned around again. "Next time you decide to make up a pathetic excuse, make sure it's a club that actually exists and is not a poster hanging on the door." He turned back around to write on the chalkboard, smiling at himself for his humorous comeback. Riley glared at his back mumbling.
"Stupid..big..fat..ugly..cow.."
"What was that Miss Parkerson?" She jumped as Mr. T spoke, surprised he had heard.
"Uh..I just said..I..I would be delighted to serve my detention now!" Behind her, a person burst out laughing.
"You think that's funny Mr. Pierce? Then why don't you join Miss Parkerson in detention after school today!" The boy behind her stopped laughing. Riley smiled, now in a bit better mood that she wouldn't be the only one is detention. Oh well, At least there is only a month left of school! Class continued again, and the melting ice cube lay forgotten on the floor.
~*~
No one was prepared for what they saw. No one understood it. No one knew why it happened. They just ran. Then again, wouldn't you if suddenly, out of nowhere, a boy, a captain, and a bunch of pirates fell through the sky and landed in the middle of the park. Hmm?
All breath escaped his lungs as Peter landed face down onto the fresh spring grass. He groaned. Pulling himself up, he took in his surroundings. Earth... Then, he remembered. Hook! The Eye! He swung around, looking for any sight of Hook or the Eye. He did a double take as he spotted something red lying on the ground not far away. It was Hook. The man spit a clump of grass from his mouth and growled. His eyes met Peters. he was not happy.
Where's the Eye Pan!?" Every word was full of venom. Peter glared with loath back.
"I was going to ask you the same question Hook!" The Captain's eyes flamed.
" I KNOW YOU HAVE IT!!"
" I DO NOT!!"
"THEN WHERE IS IT!?" Good question.. Peter scanned the area looking frantically for the Eye. Then, he saw it. It rested on the bottom of the Bright yellow slide on the playground. The dark blue color of the Eye stood out so much on the yellow it was hard to miss. Hook, catching sight of Peter's froze trance on the slide, turned his head as well. His eyes widened. Barely a second later, he was racing towards it, hands out in front of him as he went. Peter shot of too, but had an advantage over Hook, and that was the ability to fly. The Captain's eyes gleamed as his hands were centimetres from the Eye, but before he could get it, another hand snatched it up. Hook yelled out in anger as he watched the boy fly high above him, tossing the Eye from one hand to the other smiling.
" I guess you are just to slow Codfish!" he chuckled. hook snarled. "What? You want it?" He held the Eye up in the air. " Then come and get it!" The Captain stomped his foot on the ground like a little child.
"PAN I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!!" Peter laughed and playfully tossed the Eye up in the air, catching it seconds before it would hit the ground. He was taunting Hook, and thoroughly enjoying it. The flying boy threw it up in the air once more, preparing to catch it as it came back down, but something happened. It didn't come back down. Uh oh... His smile vanished, as he looked up in the air for the missing Eye. Then, suddenly, a coo reached his ears. His eyes widened as he slowly turned in the direction of the noise. There, sitting on the top bar of the swing set was a pigeon, but that wasn't the part that made Peter panic, it was the fact that clutched firmly between it's beak was none other then The Eye of Neverland.
This is bad..very bad.. As quietly and softly as he could, he landed atop the swing set bar, praying that the bird would not fly away. Peter inched forward slightly, but froze as the pigeon began to flutter its wings. Thankfully, it didn't fly away, but instead cocked its head to the side staring dumfounded at the boy. He bend down cautiously. "Here birdie...good birdie..come to Peter." The bird hobbled forward curiously. "Good birdie...just a little closer.." he reached his hand further out coming closer and closer to the Eye. Peter obviously came to close to the pigeon for comfort though, for suddenly, it beat its wings taking flight still holding the Eye. His eyes widened. "NOOOOOOO!" He dived at the bird, but it moved quicker then him taking off through the air. He gasped down at Hook not sure what to do. The Captain growled up at the boy.
"DON'T JUST STAND THERE YOU FOOL! GO AFTER THE DAMN BIRD!" For once Peter was happy to obey Hook's order. Charging through that air, he shot after the pigeon. The bird could move faster then he thought. He was finding it was taking all his energy to keep up with it. Glancing down, he could see Hook following with haste below. He returned his gaze back to the bloody pigeon that began to zigzag through trees. He growled, pushing back the branches whacking at him. He lost sight of the bird for a second, but quickly spotted it perched on the edge of a building. Peter let out a sigh. Well, at least it landed again... The second the bird caught sight of his though, it took flight again, flying straight into the open doors of the giant building. This is great! Juuuust Great! Augh!
Peter landed softly to the ground. He decided it would be safer to walk through the building incase someone saw him. He quickly read the sign above the doorway as he entered. Adaberry High School? Huh? What's a High School? He shook it off and continued on his search for the bloody bird. He studied his surroundings. It was unreal! The whole place was like one big tunnel. What is this place? All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the bird flew past his head, missing hitting him by centimetres. "Wow.." Getting over his shock, he ran after the pigeon down the never-ending tunnels.
~*~
Walking down the hallway, Riley let out a sigh. The school had cleared out and she was heading for detention, dreading every step closer she got. She was deep in thought, when without warning, a hand shot in front of her blocking her from walking any further. Not to mention scaring the Hell out of her. Riley jumped, but seeing whom it was she rolled her eyes. "What do you want Derek?" She had no energy right now to deal with him.
"You." He tilted his hands in an innocent way, the way that could turn any girl to mush. Riley wasn't any girl though, and saw right through those innocent blue eyes, back to the evil that lye beneath. She ducked under his arm and continued on her way down the hall.
"Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not available at the moment." He moved in front of her again.
"Rye, come on! You have been avoiding me all year!" Riley gasped.
"Really!? I am so sorry! I feel terrible!" She slapped the side of her face in fake shock.
"Aww..that's ok! Go on a date with me and we'll call it even." Riley rolled her eyes again, pushing him out of the way.
"Derek? How many times have you asked me on a date?"
" A lot.."
"And what have I said every time?"
"No."
"So what do you think I'm going to say this time?"
"No.." Riley slapped her hand to her face in shock.
" It does have a brain! Now go away. I have somewhere to be." He stopped walking.
"I can see you are not in a good mood because..I mean..well, who would turn down something as good looking as me!?" He brushed his hand through his hair. "So..I'll ask you again tomorrow!" She stared at him in disbelief. You know..as much as him and Peter are diffrent..they sure have the same size ego. She sighed, frustrated.
'Whatever you say Derek.." She then again made her way down the mile long hallway to the detention room, leaving him behind.
Finally, the detention room came into sight as she turned the corner of the hallway. It's about time! Geez! She was just about to turn the doorknob when suddenly, she saw a bird fly by, followed by a boy in green tights. She smiled, the froze. Wait.. She did a double take looking back around, but nothing was there. Riley shook her head. Was that? No.. She laughed to herself. You are seeing things Rye..you need more sleep.. She shook her head once more, before turning the doorknob and entering her one-hour torture chamber.
~*~
Peter collapsed to the ground. he had chased the bloody bird along every tunnel of the so-called "High School." The pigeon still managed to escape! He didn't know what he was going to do! Hook had disappeared, he was lost (although he would never admit it out loud.), and the Fate of Neverland rested in the beak of a pigeon who could be anywhere.. Peter sat up. Well, there was only one thing he could think of to do, and that was to find Riley. She could help him. Plus, he missed her so much! It would be wonderful to see her again! He smiled slightly at the thought of seeing her beautiful face again. He stood up. Now, the only problem was how the hell he was suppose to find where she lived!!
