'Ow' was the first thing she thought. 'I wonder where I am'. She then realized she felt grass under. 'Grass? There isn't grass in a house. Maybe they took me outside.' But then she heard wild animals like tropical birds and things running in the grass. And it was really warm outside. 'But it isn't warm in London.' Her eyes shot open. She seemed to be deep in a tropical jungle. There were trees all over and bright flowers growing in the ground. While she was looking around she saw something on a branch. It was part of a suit jacket. The same kind of suit jacket Michel was wearing at the party. And on the ground was the same top hat John was wearing. She sat up abruptly, which made her head hurt. When she was ok she stood up and started walking. It was uncomfortable walking through a jungle with heels. Her only thought was of finding her brothers. Soon she came to the edge of the jungle. It was a seer drop into a beautiful blue ocean.
"Wow."
"Yeah" said a voice. Wendy screamed. She almost fell off the cliff but the mysterious person caught her.
"Whoa there. It would be bad to go down there" said a red-headed boy. He had a huge amount of freckles and was looking at Wendy with a lopsided grin. He had green eyes that looked very mischievous. He was wearing a green shirt and a green hat with a red feather in it. His pants were brown and torn slightly below the knee. There was stains all over the pants and the shirt. And he was hovering a couple feet above the ground.
"How are you doing…." Wendy said gesturing to his bare feet that were off the ground.
"Oh, this. It's nothing."
"Umm…., ok. So….where am I exactly?"
"Neverland, where time never passes."
"Ok? So how old are you?"
"I'm not sure. I've been here too long to remember. But physically I am age 16. Why are you wearing that dress?"
"Oh" Wendy said looking down to see the same outfit she had on for the party. "Well I was at a party before I ended up here now I am looking for my brothers. Have you seen them?"
"Nope"
"Oh, ok." Wendy said uncomfortably. She didn't like the way this boy was looking at her. It was like the men of England. It was different somehow.
"You wanna play hid-and-go-seek?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because I am trying to find my brothers!"
"So? You can do that later."
"That was rude!"
"Well, it was rude to tell me it was rude!"
"Excuse me?" Wendy said getting very angry.
"Your excused."
She was about to slap him, but he rose into the air.
"Wait! I need help finding my brothers! And I don't even know your name!" But he was already out of sight.
"fine" Wendy grumbled "leave me"
She kept going through the jungle. Her feet were killing her so she took her shoes off and carried them. Suddenly she heard what sounded like a lot of people going tromping through the forest.
"What is going on" she whispered.
"Shhh"
Wendy was starlted and looked down. There crouching behind some bushes was an Indian girl. She had a deer skin shirt and shorts. She also had a headband with a black and white feather. Wendy looked confused. The girl pushed aside the bushes and motioned for Wendy to look though them. She knelt down and looked. She saw a bunch of pirates marching through the forest. The leader seems to be the one in a red coat. He had the nicest clothes. His chin was stubbly and was in need of a shave. He had long black hair. But the most interesting thing was the sliver hook on his right hand.
"Who is that?" whispered Wendy.
"That Hook, fearsome pirate."
Wendy looked back out just in time to see her brothers being dragged along by some of the pirates. Their hands were tied behind their backs and their clothes were in shreds.
"I have to get my brothers" Wendy said pointing to her brothers.
"Tiger-Lily says no"
"Are you Tiger-Lily?"
The girl nodded. "Only Peter Pan can defeat Hook."
"But I won't defeat him. I want to get my brothers."
"Too dangerous. Get Peter help."
"I don't have the time!" Wendy said as she got up and raced to catch up with the pirates. Tiger-Lily was sitting shaking her head. 'I have to get Peter' she thought.
