Hello everybody! We're getting closer to Halloween. I'm so excited. Oh yeah, I won't be going to that party because of some things going on, but I might go to a haunted house next week. Anyways, this chapter starts on Halloween night, when they are preparing for the party. And that's when things get freaky and frightening, so hang on tight... and enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 8: Halloween fright
The sun was setting... just in time for Halloween! On Pirate Island, everybody, even Jake was getting ready for the big party on Never Land. Peter was helping Izzy and Cubby with their costumes, while Jake was fixing his own costume. They still hadn't not found or made a special drink for Jake, but Peter figured that maybe a drink at the party could help.
"Peter are you sure that we can kill the werewolf? Are we strong enough?" Izzy asked as Peter brushed her hair and twisted pieces of it into tiny curls with his fingers. She was going as a butterfly princess. She wanted to go as something beautiful this year. Peter had helped her get in her costume (A purple dress decorated with flowers and butterfly wings made from leaves and such), and make her hair pretty. "Of course we're strong enough." Peter assured her.
"But how are we gonna kill it?" Cubby asked. He was going as an Indian this year. Peter had helped him put together an Indian attire, complete with a headband and feather, along with war paint. "Shoot it... with a gun and silver bullet." Peter answered. Izzy and Cubby exchanged worried looks. Would they beable to shoot the werewolf? It sounds like a hard job, but nevertheless, it was a job that had to be done.
Soon, Peter had finished helping the two young pirates with their costumes, and was even dressed in his own. He was wearing a black cloak with a hood, almost like the Grim Reaper. He also had a gun in hand. He had persuaded Captian Hook to borrow it, claiming that it was for his costume, when it really was to kill the werewolf. Skully and Tinker Bell flew to see how the costumes were going.
"Crackers! You mateys sure look great. A butterfly, an Indian, and the Grim Reaper." Skully complimented.
"Thanks. But actually, I'm a butterfly princess." Izzy reminded him. Skully was wearing a simple top hat this year, and Tink was dress in a long green dress similar to her usual attire, but her hair was down and she was wearing a tiara on her hair. To put it short, she was almost dressed like Queen Clarion. "You look pretty good yourself." Peter pointed out.
"So is Jake ready yet?" Skully asked. "I dunno." Peter replied. "Jake! Are you ready yet?"
As if on cue, Jake appeared. The others almost gaped at his costume. He was wearing a simple black t-shirt and pants, a black cape, black gloves, black boots, black hat, and black mask. In short, he was dressed as a character from a book he read. Zorro to be exact. He looked like a dark shadow. "Uh... wow, Jake. That is really... dark." Izzy said, still amazed at his costume.
"Do you like it?" Jake asked, smirking.
"It's... fantastic!" Peter pointed out.
"It's... different from what you usually wear on Halloween." Cubby added.
"It's... really neat." Skully also pointed out, with Tink nodding in agreement.
Jake chuckled. "Thanks. I made it myself. I wanted to wear something... cool and dark for the party." While it was and interesting choice for a costume, the others were worried about that costume ripping when he turned into a villainous follower of the werewolf. "Is everybody ready?" Skully asked.
"I've got my sword." Jake answered, taking out his sword.
"I've got my map." Cubby added, holding up his map.
"And I've got my pixie dust." Izzy finished, clutching her pixie dust pack.
"Yo ho, let's go!" Jake exclaimed.
Peter could help but grin. It seems that Jake is still his happy, fun loving, adventurous, and clever bo he is... or was. They had set off the Never Land. The party was already set up when they got there, but nobody was there yet. It was still pretty early, and the sun was still out, and setting slowly. Peter flew over to the punch bowl area, and started mixing a drink together. "Peter? What are you doing?" Izzy asked.
Peter started to explain. "I think I know how to get Jake back to normal. I'm gonna mix a fruit punch and a smoothie together to make the special drink. I'll put it on the table, and when Jake drinks it, he'll be back to normal. But we have to make sure before he turns into a werewolf."
"Can't we give it to him now?" Cubby asked.
Peter shook his head. "I wish we could, but he might get suspicious."
It was a good thing that Jake wasn't paying any attention to them, so he wasn't suspicious now. But he might be suspicious later on. Soon, people were starting to come to the party. It was so much fun now. Indians, fairies, mermaids, and some of the crews closet friends had attended. Even the Dark Pirates came. Blake was dressed as a zombie, Lizzy was dressed as a black cat, and Charlie was dressed as a shark.
"Hey, Blake!" Peter called out as they evil crew approached him, Izzy, and Cubby. "Doncha' think the devil would be a more appropriate costume for you?" Izzy and Cubby couldn't help but giggled. Blake growled. He hated when people accused him of being the devil. In his opinion, he was no devil. He may be sadistic, but he was no devil. "Ha, ha, ha. Very funny." Blake replied sarcastically. "Doncha' think a fool would be a more costume for you?!"
Peter scoffed. "I may be silly, but I'm not a fool."
"Well. I may be sadistic, but I'm not the devil!"
Before the two could argue any further, Izzy gasped. Peter was about to ask what was wrong until he found out what was wrong.
The full moon was already out...
... and Jake was still not cured.
"Did he drink it yet?" Peter asked Cubby, who shook his head in fright. Peter groaned as he flew over to the drink table, and to his dismay, Mr. Smee (dressed as a ghost), was drinking something that looked oddly familiar to the cure... "Hmmm... delicious taste to it..." Mr. Smee said when he finished the whole thing.
Peter face palmed in anger. That was the cure! Great! Now he had to make it all over again. But then he remember about killing the Never Land werewolf. He still had to do away with that beast. "Okay... okay... Izzy. Cubby. you make the cure again." He ordered as he flew towards the forest. "Wait! Where are you going?" Izzy asked.
"I'm going to get rid of that werewolf." Peter answered.
"But what about Jake?"
"Just remake the drink and give it to Jake! Fast!"
With that, Peter disappeared into the forest. Izzy and Cubby exchanged worried look, but went to do what Peter said. It was only a matter of time before Jake turns into a werewolf...
Speaking of Jake, he was hiding behind a table. The Pirate Princess and Marina were near the table, talking. He was planning to give them a good scare... or at least surprise them. "I'm gonna scare them..." He whispered, chuckling devilishly. "I'm so gonna scare-" Before he could even finish his sentence, an extremely painful headache overcame him. He began to groan and hold his head. His groaning soon turned into growling. Menacing growling...
"Okay. How did Peter make the first one?" Cubby asked Izzy
"I dunno. But we've gotta make it fast before Jake turns into a-"
CRASH!
GROOOOOOOWWWWWLLLLLL!
Izzy and Cubby jumped in fright when they heard that noise. Gulping, they turned to where the noise came from... and immediately wished they hadn't. People were screaming their heads off at a mysterious figure knocking things off a of table. It didn't take long for the two younger pirates to figure out who the figure was...
"It's... Jake!"
Yes, indeed it was Jake... but he was different. He was a werewolf once again. But unlike his previous appearance as a wolf, he looked a lot more deadly and menacing. His hair was a lot more rougher and had even sharper split ends, he actually had a snout this time, his fangs looked even more scary, but the most scary thing was his eyes... unlike the yellowish color it was when he was a werewolf before... it was a glowing red color. All of this could only mean one thing...
Jake had become a full fledged werewolf!
"Yay hey, no way! We're too late!" Izzy exclaimed.
"If we don't get out of here soon, we're gonna become werewolf meat!" Cubby whimpered.
Jake had noticed the two, and crawled over to them, growling, hungry for two little pirates. Izzy and Cubby back away. They had to finished the cure, and get away from Jake. Get away... that's it!
"I know what to do!" Izzy spoke up. "We have to lure Jake away from the party. Skully!" The green parrot flew over to the pirates. "You have to keep the party going, and make the cure for Jake. Cubby and I will lure Jake away from everyone so he doesn't hurt anyone. He's a werewolf again. But he's full fledged. Hurry!"
"Got it, Iz." Skully replied. With that, Izzy and Cubby ran into the forest, with Jake following behind them...
Meanwhile...
"Where are you, werewolf...?" Peter whispered quietly as he floated through the forest. He gripped the gun carefully in his hands. He had no idea what this werewolf looked like, but he knew that it had to be deadly. The fly boy tried hard not to let his guard down if the werewolf happened to take him by surprise. "I just wanna kill you..."
Suddenly there was a rustle in the bushes. Peter aimed the gun in that directed, moving ever so closely to the bush. Suddenly, two figures appeared from behind the bush, running past Peter.
"Izzy... Cubby?" Peter wondered confused. What were they doing out here? They were suppose to be keeping the party going. What happened? Peter thoughts were interrupted when he heard a low growling behind. Carefully, he turned around, and saw Jake glaring at him, but he had no idea that was Jake.
"You're the Never Land Werewolf?" Peter asked in disbelief. "You're a lot smaller than I imagined. But enough of that talk. I'm just here to kill you so you won't harm another person on Never Land. Deal?"
Jake snarled at him.
"I'll take that as a yes."
Before Peter could pull the trigger, he took a closer look at Jake. He thought he could see a shade of green in his red eyes. That's when it all came clear.
"J-J-Jake?" Peter asked. I can't shoot Jake. He thought as he backed away from his friend. Jake advanced towards him raising his claws. "Jake... you would never ever hurt me..." Peter tried to reason with him. "I'm your friend. Peter-"
Peter wasn't able to finish his sentence when Jake swiped his claws against Peter's right cheek, causing the redheaded boy to fall to the ground. Peter groaned and touched his cheek. There was blood. "I guess you don't remember who I am... well, bye!" Peter got up and flew away, with Jake on his heels. It was a race against time now. Jake was a full follower now, and the Never Land werewolf was still on the loose. Peter flew as fast as he could, but Jake was even faster. The wolf boy ran past Peter, confusing him.
Why did he run past me? Peter thought. Unless...
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! PETER! HEEEEEELPPPPP!"
Peter recognized those voices anywhere. "Izzy! Cubby! I'm coming! Hang on!" He continued to fly. The werewolf was still on the loose, and it was only a matter of time before he appears. But what Peter didn't know was that something was watching him from the shadows, growling.
It's a race against time. Jake's a full fledged werewolf. The NL werewolf will appear anytime before the night is through, and Izzy, Cubby, and Peter are all in danger of becoming werewolf dinner. See what happens in the next chapter on Halloween (It's the last and this story will be through) I'll see you guys later. And don't forget to review, please. Thank you.
