Chapter 5
Wendy sat in front of her mirror applying her make-up for a night that she knew she would never forget. She had to make sure that everything was perfect; she wanted to look as beautiful as she could. She did not want Peter looking at his ex-fiancé all night; she wanted his eyes to be glued to her.
She put on a long flowing pale pink dress that was floor length and it exposed her shoulders perfectly, almost like the one that her mother used to wear, but this dress was different that her mother, it was more…Wendy.
She put her hair up in a bun, and wore a headpiece to finish the look.
She made sure she got her hand bag and walked out of her apartment to go down to the front entrance.
When she walked to the front doors there was a man standing there, wearing a well-made tuxedo that fit him perfectly.
He opened the door and bowed for her to go through, "After you mam." He said
Wendy smiled, "Why thank you kind sir." She replied
"Might I say you look dazzling tonight." He told her
Wendy blushed; she thought that the hard work she put into herself looking amazing was starting to work.
Wendy walked out the door and Peter followed. He offered his arm and they walked together to the party.
They got to the house that they were told to go to and they both soon realized this was more than a small get together.
There were people all over and it had more people than the other party that Wendy went to with Peter.
They were offered in and someone took their coats, and they proceeded to walk about the room. Peter stopped to talk to many old friends that he must have known when he was with Kara. He looked like he was having the best time of his life. Wendy stood beside him and chatted with his friends when they talked to her.
Then there she was, the lady of the hour. She was dressed in a regal red dress that flattered her body in every way possible. Her lips matched the colour of her dress, and his dark brown hair was up in a hairstyle that looked like it took hours. It made her face looked like it was made from the gods.
She made her turn about the room with elegance and class, she was stunning. Wendy knew that her efforts would not be paying off any longer.
"Peter, Wendy, I'm so over joyed that you made it." Said Kara, She smiled so big that it showed her pearly white teeth perfectly.
Kara held out her hand so Peter could kiss the top like a gentleman would, and that's just what he did.
"I'm glad we came, I'm certainly enjoying myself." Said Peter
"Oh I'm glad, now I must go talk to the rest of my guests, please help yourselves to drinks and snacks in the kitchen just down the hall." Kara told the both of them
Wendy smiled and curtsied as she left. Wendy watched Peter's eyes; she was disappointed to see that they followed Kara as she left the room.
Wendy couldn't believe this, she didn't want to be here, and she was regretting saying that yes to her offer of coming here. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't give in that fast. If this girl wanted to fight for Peter's attention, then that's what she would do.
"Yes, well I have been at school most of the time, and ever since I left this part of town I have not seen any of my old friends around so I'm very glad to see you again." Peter was saying to a bunch of guys
Wendy figured he was deep in conversation so she walked around the room, and was stopped by a tall handsome man. "Excuse me mam, but I was wondering if I might ask you to dance?" he asked her
Wendy was taken back; no one had asked her to dance at parties before, maybe because she's never looked like "this" at parties before. She thought for another quick second, what would Peter say, but she thought again, that it was a perfect was to get his attention. "Certainly." She said to the tall gentlemen.
He offered his arm and she took it and they walked to the large room that everyone was dancing in, the music was slow, she knew this plan was getting better and better.
The man put a hand on Wendy's waist and the other in her hand, and she put her other hand on his shoulder and they started to waltz about the room.
Almost a minute into dancing the man said "You are a marvellous dancer, I am Albert, and might I know your name?"
Wendy looked into his deep brown eyes, "Wendy." She told him
The man whispered it to himself, "A beautiful name it is too." He replied, Wendy blushed and looked away from his stare. She then noticed Peter was standing by the wall watching her dance with the man he did not know. She wanted to laugh, but she had to keep it in.
She kept watching him in the corner of her eye, and then noticed a flash of red approach him.
The man she was dancing with had brought her to the other side of the room, so she could no longer see Peter, and he was not taking her back to the other side. She had to see him; she wanted to know what Kara and he were doing. She thought that this dancing without him was not the best idea she has ever had.
"Your woman seems to have found a new friend." Said Kara to Peter, "Yes." Was all Peter said?
Kara looked at him, she wondered how his eyes would not look at her, she had tried so hard to dress so she would be noticed, and he would not look away from Wendy.
She made eye contact with Albert and nodded slightly, and he moved Wendy and himself to the other side of the room to dance so that they were out of each other's sights.
Peter stretched taller in hope that he could still she Wendy, but he could not, he was growing more and more frustrated.
Kara cleared her throat, and Peter looked at her.
"Hello there." She said, with a slight seductive look.
Peter did not notice her facial expression. "Hello." He said back
"So Peter, what do you miss most about living this life?" she asked him
He looked away from Kara, took a deep breath and looked back at her. "I do not miss anything, I am perfectly happy with how I am now."
Kara raised her eyebrow at him, "Surly you must miss something." She said, Kara inched closer to Peter, and she grazed her fingers down his arm.
Peter moved it away from her touch. "Kara, I'm sorry I broke off our relationship. I moved to fast and I was getting over someone, my intentions were not to marry you. It was to just get over someone. One day I realized that I could never forget about that person no matter how hard I tried and marrying you would not have made me happy." He told her with a serious face.
She looked shocked and hurt at first but then that went away and anger appeared. "How would you know, you never gave us a chance, I could have made you very happy." She said
"I'm sorry to have hurt you Kara." He bowed and walked away.
She watched him and the direction that he was going would lead him to a room that was not in use for the party, she thought it would be perfect to follow him, so she did.
The music finally stopped and Albert and Wendy stopped dancing. "Thank you for the dance, now I must return to my partner." She told him
"Oh don't worry about him; I'm sure he's fine. Would you like to get a drink from the kitchen with me?" he asked her
Wendy wanted to go to Peter, but she did not want to be rude. So she said okay and they walked to the kitchen together, she looked behind her to see if he was still there, but he wasn't. Wendy wanted to leave, and make sure he was not with Kara. Albert knew what Wendy was thinking so he grabbed her arm and held her close so she could not escape.
Peter found his way into an empty room and sat down, he held his head in his hands and then not two seconds later he heard the door close behind him. He looked up and saw that Kara was standing in front of him.
"Please Kara, leave me alone." He looked at her with honest eyes.
She moved closer to him and moved her dress so that she could easily sit on Peter's lap. "You never gave me a second chance Peter."
She climbed onto him, and held his head in her hands.
"Kara, please stop, I do not love you anymore, I love Wendy." He tried to tell her. "You loved me once; let's see if we can change your mind."
Just then Kara smothered Peter in kisses he could not control.
Wendy stood in the kitchen with Albert. She held a glass with lemonade in it. "Are you going to try the punch?" asked Albert, "It's delicious." He added
Wendy moved the cup to her mouth and took a sip, she thought it tasted a bit off, but she kept drinking.
Albert smiled. "Good isn't it."
Wendy nodded.
All of a sudden it hit her, like someone sliced her stomach. She had pain everywhere, and was getting to dizzy she could barely stand.
"Wendy, are you alright?" asked Albert
"Everything is spinning." She managed to get out.
Everyone around them started to worry, "Is she alright?" "What's happening to her?" "Was it the punch?"
"Don't worry everyone, I will take her to lie down, it's really hot in hear she's probably just needs to cool down." Said Albert,
Albert picked up Wendy and moved her to a bedroom and laid her on the bed.
"Everything hurts." Wendy said
"Yes I know, she close your eyes and everything will be alright." Said Albert
"Stop!" yelled Peter; he managed to squirm out of Kara's grasp.
"Give me a chance to love you." Said Kara,
"No Kara, I am not going to ruin something good that I have with the one person I love in this world." Said Peter,
"What the story teller, she's got nothing to offer you; I on the other hand have a home, money and anything else you could think of." Explained Kara, "I love her, more than I can say about you." Said Peter,
He stormed out of the room, and walked all around the house, and could not find Wendy anywhere. He looked in the closet and her coat was still hanging there.
He went to find Kara; she was not in the room that he left her. He went to the kitchen. "Have you seen a girl, she was wearing a pale pink dress?" asked Peter to a man standing in the Kitchen "Yes actually, she was having a drink in here not too long ago, she got a bit ill though and a kind fellow moved her to that room down the hall there." Said the man,
"Thank you." Peter said back
He walked down to the door, he tried to open the door but it was locked.
"Wendy, you are very beautiful, has anyone ever told you that?" asked Albert.
Wendy could no say anything, she felt like she could not move any part of her body.
Albert lifted her up and unzipped her dress; he took it off and started at her corset. He managed to get all of Wendy's clothing off of her body. When there was a familiar knock at the door. "Who is it?" asked Albert. "It's me you idiot." Said Kara from the other side, Albert unlocked the door and let her in. Kara looked at Wendy lying on the bed, and then looked at Albert. "I'm sorry brother but I could not convince him, we are going to have to leave before he figures out she is missing, and that won't take long." Said Kara, "Come on, I was just about to get started." Said Albert,
Kara gave her brother an angry look, "Alright, be fast, better to leave her behind like this than take her now." Kara said. "I will be in the study waiting."
Albert smiled.
Kara looked at Wendy as she lay there. She walked up to her and looked at Wendy in the eyes, "I know you can hear every word I say so listen carefully. He is meant to be mine, and he will crawl back to me when he finds out that you did it with my brother, he will no longer trust you and he will leave you. Have a fun life." Said Kara
She walked out of the room through the door and walked to the study.
"Alright then, here we go." Said Albert.
He undid his belt and pulled his pants off along with his underwear.
Wendy could see everything, she wanted to scream, but she was paralyzed to the world, she wanted to cry, she wanted Peter.
Albert made his way to Wendy; he climbed on top of her frozen body.
He kissed her all over her body.
Then he heard a pound on the door.
Albert frightened got up, ran to put his pants on.
"Let me in for god's sake!" yelled Peter from the other side of the door.
"I will not let anyone in!" yelled Albert.
Peter knew he was not going to get in the way he hopped. He then thought of an idea. He whistled, whistled for Tinkerbelle.
Within two seconds she was there in front of Peter. "Tink, help me please, do you think you could go under the door and open it from the other side?" he asked her
Tink nodded, and flew to the base of the door.
Albert turned to the door and saw a bright ball of light coming through to the other side. "What the…" he whispered to himself.
The ball of light flew up to the door handle and the door opened and there stood Peter. "Good job Tink." He said to her.
He looked at Wendy on the bed, unable to move, he was then filled with the most anger he has ever felt.
"Hey, it's not what it looks like." Said Albert,
"That's what they all say isn't it." Said Peter
He released some anger and thought of something happy, and then he flew straight for Albert picked him up by the neck and dangled him there for a minute. "Never touch Wendy again do you hear me?" said Peter.
The man attempted to nod. "I'm glad we have an understanding." Said Peter, and he dropped Albert. "Now leave." Said Peter,
Albert got up and ran out of the room as fast as he could.
Tink managed to close the door behind him.
Peter ran over to Wendy, "Wendy, can you hear me?" asked Peter
Wendy wanted to scream the word yes but could not bring herself to do it.
"You're going to be alright." He told her.
"We've got to get her to Neverland Tink." Peter looked at Tink with eyes that looked like he was about to cry any minute.
Peter dressed Wendy in her dress, he did not want to spend time on the corset, and he carried her to the nearest window.
He thought of happy thoughts only and they all flew to the star second to the right straight on till morning.
