Chapter 2
"Which one would you like to hear?" she asked him as they walked under the large black iron gate into the park.
"Oh! I know! I know! Tell the one about the pirates on the planet! He cried out as they went past the jungle-jim towards the swings.
That caught his attension, "Ay! Kid wait a minute" Slightly called to Michael as he scrambled down the monkey bars. "Just what were you saying about pirates?" he asked as The Twins came over to Michael too.
Hooking his thumb over his shoulder at Wendy, "My sister tells me stories. Now shes going to tell me this one about pirates and swords and treashure and battles in the air! Its going to be awesome!" he said to the now excited boys.
"Would you like to hear it?" Wendy asked. She had walked up to the boys unknowingly with Nana. The boys nodded their heads vigorously in answer as they followed her over to the swings where she sat down and began to tell the story of Treasure Planet.
He blinked a few times and came back to reality. The girl was still telling them the story, her voice painting the scene right before their eyes. He looked around and realized that it was already duck the play ground empty exept for them. He remembered that he could clearly see the battles before him. He could feel the immense heat of the sun as the ship flew to close when battling the pirates.
But something bothered him still. What had caused him to get distacted from the story? As he looked around he saw it. The two men standing in the tree's shadows almost unseen. They were Hooks men and they were watching them. No..they were watching the girl telling the story. They were Hook's men… in Peter's territory. Somethings not right.
She ended her story and watched with an amused expression as the boys came out of their daze and realized that she had finished her story.
"That was amazing! Could you please please please tell us another?!?!?!?!"? Michael asked as the other boys joined the chorus of whining pleases.
As she stood she said, "I'd love to tell you all another story but me and Michael have to be getting ho-"
"No!" Slightly said cutting her off, "You have to play one last game with us first, "He said giving the leash to Michael saying, "You and the Twins play by the jj too" He then took her hand and pulled her into the jj and into the tube bridge where he stopped her.
She turned back to face him and saw all the mirth gone from his eyes. She sensed that this was not the same boy she had been telling the story to.
"I don't know how much you know about the gangs in Neverland but the two you need to know are the rival gangs The Pirates and The Lost Boys. Both gangs follow the Codes. Its almost like a set of laws set down by the leaders a long time ago. Hook, the leader of the Pirates is a ruthless, merciless, lethal man who will do anything he has to in order to get what he wants. Your house on the territories split. Its pretty much up for grabs until the house's occupants or at least one of the occupants makes a pact with one of the leaders of the gangs. I'm telling you this because two of Hook's men broke the codes in order to follow you. Their on Peter's territory in order to follow you here.
"If Hooks wants to make a pact with your house I think hes going to strike tonight. Wendy do you get what I'm saying..?"
She met his eyes, he was dead serious. "We got to get Michael out of here." She said as she thought to herself, "Why would they want me? What are those men planning to do..?"
