Sorry for the million years it took me to update! I'd love to thank all my reviewers. :)
Eric sat in silence as the Lost Boy's excitedly talked of the day's events. About how many pirates they injured, about the plan, and all the excitement. They were now standing against each other, to see who was tallest. Tallness had become somewhat majestic. The tallest boys were the most admired. Peter and Eric naturally were the taller of the boys. Bur Eric didn't really care at the moment. Eric now felt separate from them, distant. He was now an outsider. He had a past, he remembered it, and he had a life outside of Neverland. And now that Eric knew that he felt separated. The Lost Boys knew it now too, but it didn't really affect them one way or another. It was Eric's plight. But his hopes rose because Peter had said they would go rescue Ian today. Peter swooped in and crowed.
"I just heard the Indians blow their war horn!" Peter animatedly said.
"What does that mean again?" Tootles asked
"They caught one of you, and they're holding him captive!" The boys looked around and counted each other, tryoing to figure out how many were gone.
"Which one of us?" Nibs asked
"Well….who's missing?" Peter asked.
"Slightly" Eric mumbled from the corner
"Aha lets go rescue him!" Peter rose inot the air
"Wait!" Eric bolted over to Peter, "what about Ian!"
"Who?" Peter inquired
"My friend, who is still on The Jolly Roger, with Hook! You said we'd rescue him!" Eric yelled
"Oh…..what about Slightly?" the Twins asked
"I'm in charge and I say we go for Slightly!" Peter said proudly.
"But the Indians won't do anything to him, who knows what Hook is doing to Ian as we speak!"
"I say we go for Slightly!" Peter's voice was rising with every word.
"What about Ian?"
""Maybe we won't even go after him at all!" Peter yelled he wasn't trying to be mean; he was trying to show the Boys he was still on top even though this boy was as tall as him.
"Fine, I'm going after Ian myself!" Eric practically screamed
"No your not, you have to help us find Slightly!" Peter yelled
"No I don't!" Eric stormed out of the house and left the Lost Boys stunned into silence. No one had ever stood up to Peter before; they were curious what would happen next.
"Let's go get Slightly" Peter mumbled, he was just as shocked as the boys were. But as they paraded through the jungle Peter became less and less concerned with the boy he rescued.
Eric ran through the forest, looking for a fairy. He ran until he got to the enchanted tree where most of the fairy's lived or at least spent time around. They all scattered when he came crashing through the bushes.
"Wait!" he cried "I just need some fairy dust to fly! I need to rescue my friend" he tried to explain to the scattering fairies. But then he noticed they weren't scattering, at least not all of them, they were assembling into little rows. Are they gonna attack me? Eric thought, the little fairies looked mad, perhaps they didn't know he was a Lost Boy. Suddenly a light layer of gold dust was all around him then the gold dust swirled around him, bright, sparkly, tickly, suffocating, yet soft dust. Then Eric couldn't see the fairies or the tree or even anything but the sparkly gold dust, then everything went black.
I hope you like it! Just to let you know I accept anonymous reviews. Please review and let me now what you think. :)
