A/N: hows this for a speedy post? Hehe only 3 days? It's a miracle I must say for myself.
Song of the chapter: "stop' by Matchbox 20
Refresher:
The mermaid turned her head, and held out an apple, Wendy was surprised, there were no apples in Neverland. "This is from Hook" was all the Mermaid said (Wendy could surprisingly understand her). Wendy's eyes widened for a second, she took the apple from the mermaid, then flew off toward the Underground tree house for supplies.
Ch 15
Wendy got to the tree house as fast as she could. She had the apple in her right hand. When she landed in the tree house she threw it against the wall as hard as she could. It burst into tiny pieces, spraying apple juice everywhere.
She went over to where Peter kept his swords and got two, one for her, one for Peter (naturally). Wendy was about to fly back out of the house when she realized she didn't know where hook had taken Peter. They could be anywhere. Or even worse, he could have taken Peter back to London. She decided that Jack was nice enough (a/n: a hook, nice? Psshiit) to leave him on the island where he had a better chance of fighting. She racked her brain for places they could be, then laughed at herself when she remembered the only place a Hook would do something, the Black Castle.
By the time she got to the castle she thought her arms were going to drop off by the weight of Peter's sword alone. She wondered how many jewels he had on the handle. Then she realized that this was not the time for her mind to be wandering. She landed quietly on the balcony so she could sneak up on Jack. She walked through the open door slowly allowing her eyes to adjust to the dimness. She looked around and saw Peter lying on a rock limp, bloody and tied up. She tried not to gasp, but it didn't work. To her disadvantage, her gasp echoed, allowing Jack to realize that someone else was in the castle.
Yes it's true that I believe
I'm weaker than I used to be
I wear my heart out on my sleeve
and I forget the rest of me
"Damn." She mumbled.
Jack spun around quickly and a creepy smile spread across his handsome face.
"How nice of you to join us Wendy, Darling." Jack started walking up the stairs toward her. "I was about to explain to Pan, that fighting against me now is useless, you can not beat me silly girl. And well look at Pan, I don't see him beating me anytime soon. You didn't even bring weapons. Come on my pretty, let's go back to London, the snow is quiet lovely."
Wendy had been hiding her swords behind her back, until the right moment. Jack was almost to her, she backed out onto the balcony so the door didn't limit her movement.
"You're right Jack, it would be useless fighting you now, I mean, how did I think I could ever beat you? How like a girl, I guess I'll never learn." She looked toward the ground as if in shame, she felt his hand tilting up her chin, they looked eye to eye for a minute, before she knew it, Jack was kissing her. She did the only thing she could think of. Kicked him, hard, where it hurts (A/n: if you catch my drift). Jack buckled over in pain. Wendy brought her sword from behind her back and lifted his chin with it.
"If you hurt Peter, I personally make sure there are no more Hooks after you." Wendy sneered.
"Wendy, please don't kill me!"
She laughed, "Now, who said anything about killing you?"
Jack started to crawl back into the castle (as best as he could). Wendy made him back into a wall, he hit the stone hard and lost his breath. She took the chance and grabbed him by the ear with one hand and after she tucked the swords into her dress, held his arms together with the other hand.
They walked over to where Peter was on the ground.
"Untie him NOW" she threw him on the ground next to Peter. Jack clumsily started untying the knots. Once he got them all undone, he handed the ropes to Wendy. She then took them and tied Jack to a boulder not too far away so she could keep an eye on him. She sat down over by Peter who was still unconscious, she held his head in her lap, and now that she didn't have to act tough around Jack, she started to cry.
Yes there's times I've been afraid
and there's no harm in that I pray
cuz I'm more frightened everyday
someone will take the hope I have away
"you look horrible Peter, you your self must realize that." She laughed just so she wouldn't cry harder. "Please stay with me."
Peter groaned softly, Wendy could hardly hear him. She wiped some dirt and blood of his cheek and kissed him softly. She heard Jack gag but chose to ignore him. She looked around for a cloth to clean his cuts with, the only thing she could (that she wanted to use) see was Jack's shirt. She moved Peter slowly, then went over to Jack and started unbuttoning his shirt.
"You know you could ask," Jack said
"ahh yes, but I thought we were past that point in our relationship. Thank you kind sir for so graciously letting me borrow your shirt." Wendy patted his head and went to dip his shirt in the water.
All the times I've given in
you fit me like a second skin
and one by one I will begin
to wear you on the days I'm feeling thin
A/n: wow that was getting wordy. It's hard to think of dialogue when one of the main characters is knocked unconscious. Hmm... I wonder where Tink went...she's probably flying around looking for Wendy, we'll find out! Bonus points to who can figure out what line I couldn't wait to use (yea it was in this chapter) No one took me up on my offer for the song, it still stands, if you like ch 14's song, feel free to email me your yahoo or aim screen name and I will send you the song. Shout out time.
Leemer- hey girl, I am so insanely jealous that you are going to the starting line concert. Take me with you! Im glad you liked ch 14 hope you liked this one too!
kasmira36- Im sorry I usually make yall wait so long, I don't like doing it, blame my teachers, im sorry chapter 14 was short, I noticed that too, but I swear on word it was bunches longer, im glad you liked it tho!!
Zeldy- you were right, Hook was up to something. Im glad you liked the fact that Wendy made the vine dress, but hey I would too if it meant getting out of an icky night gown (those things are so unflattering hehe) don't worry the apple was only there for a dramatic effect. Hopefully I will once again be able to update soon!
Rolletti- sorry I forgot to give you a shout out for Ch 14, yes I was forced to use a bad word, I didn't like using it, and lets hope I don't have to again! Kisses
