DISCLAIMER: I do not own Peter Pn. Just Jade and her family and friends.
I am in college, so please forgive me for not updating in what, a year? Two? Yeah yeah no excuse I know. But please bear with me. I just received a review and an e-mail from someone who rekindled the fire in me to write this story, to start it again. I stopped it because it was not going in the way I wanted it to go, and she made me realize that your stories control you, you don't control your stories.
Thank you!
Full Summary
A 16-turning-17 year old girl named Jade does not want to grow up. She would rather die on Captain Hook's hook as a child than grow up and die old, wrinkled, forgetful, and not active. She meets the real Wendy while she is walking on a street with her nose in a book heading home. Wendy notices that this girl is reading 'Peter Pan' by J.M. Barrie, and she stops her.
Wendy invites Jade back to her cousin, Amelia's, house, and she tells Jade all of her adventures with Peter. She gives her something special before Jade went home and told her something Jade will never forget.
Wendy dies a few weeks later, and Jade becomes depressed. Then one night, she meets the boy she grew so fond of in the last 17 years of her life, but he flies out of the room as quickly as he possibly could once he realizes that she is awake. She finds something he dropped, and uses it as one proof of three to prove he was really there the next day when her friend came over.
She got into a fight with both her parents and her friend, and she did not succeed in getting her friend to believe in Peter Pan. Her friend goes home, and she is left to her thoughts in her room. Then Peter Pan gives her another surprise visit and takes her on the adventure of a lifetime.
There are many battles, losses and victories, as well as new friends and enemies. This story is full of action, adventure, suspense, and humor. I wrote a previous Peter Pan story called 'All you need is a little faith, trust, and pixie dust', but I wasn't satisfied with that one. This is the revised version of it. The other story had only three chapters, and with this new one, I kept the first chapter with extremely minor revision and I went from there.
Short clip from a later chapter in this story: Jade's body was poised in a battle stance, tense and rigid with pure anger. Her normally pine eyes flashed bright green in her rage. They were narrowed, locked on the person in front of her, and she looked absolutely terrifying to anyone who would have seen her then. Her red, coppery hair looked ablaze in the hot afternoon sun, and her fiery redhead temper had been trying to get the best of her the entire time, and it finally had.
Anyone who knew her and how she was with that temper of hers would have been surprised and even scared if they were able to see her like this. Even Peter couldn't believe the amount of rage that was coursing through the veins in her body. He took a step back.
She was slightly twisted, her left leg a little in front of her right, both facing to her right, but barely. Her upper body was facing forward, her left arm stuck out a little to help keep her balance and her right arm reached across her stomach, hand on dagger, ready to strike at any moment. Her eyes narrowed further. "You're mine, Hook."
