A/N: sorry about the last chapter and this one being so short. I was going to put them together but it seemed to much of a time jump. Please review!
James laughs and swims around in the cove. Peter swims along with him, enjoying Neverland's perfect weather.
"Hey James! Where did your men go? They took the ship right?" James nods and swims on his back.
"Ya, they went to the mainland, to get some weapons..." Peter frowns.
"More weapons? Why do we need so many?" James chuckles and swims in a circle.
"Because we're pirates, that's what we do... Like all the jewels and gold we found. We just have to have it..."
Peter frowns again but says nothing. He knows they didn't just "find" that treasure. James spins around in the water and Peter sighs. They had been together for a year now, but peter hadn't grown any older. James on the other hand had aged by a lot. A mustache already forming on his lip. He was now about 7 years older than Peter. And Peter was still the young eight years old he had been before. All the other boys, save the 6 Peter had named had also grown older. James had begged Peter and the six boys to grow up but Peter refused and the boys always followed peter's orders. James let him but complained about it daily. Peter gets out of the water and dries himself off. Tinker Bell flies over to him from the leaf she was resting on. He smiles and runs through the forest to warm himself up. He bumps into someone and stops. He looks up and sees a red faced man looming over him. He frowns and backs up. He hits another man and suddenly he is surrounded by Indians. He frowns and looks around nervously.
"He-hey guys... Long time no see..." the group parts and a taller man with a train of feathers around his head walks up to Peter.
"You brought pirates to this land. This land go many moons without you. And many moons in peace. Now pale faced pirates attack the land. Kill the nature and attack my men. You brought them. So you must destroy them." Peter looks around, worried.
"I, I..." He sighs and nods slowly."Yes sir, I agree. These guys are going to far... I will try to get rid of them... But can I keep my boys, they do you no harm." The chief sighs and nods slowly.
"The six boys you may keep. They are not a problem. Now go and be gone with the pirates."
The Indians melt back into the foliage and Peter shivers. He runs back to the shore of the cove he and the others called cannibal cove. He finds James no longer swimming but on the deck of the Jolly Roger. Peter flies over to the deck and is instantly surrounded by pirates with new gleaming weapons. One pirate, known as Starkey, points a long sword at peter's throat. Peter gasps and then frowns as James walks up, wearing a long red coat and a red hat with a fluffy feather in it on top of his customary pirate outfit. He smiles and walks down to the main deck.
"You were foolish Peter. We are pirates, and you. You are a boy. A boy who needs to grow up. But since I know you won't. I have no use for you." He nods to his group of pirates. "Kill him, kill them all."
Peter looks behind him and gasps again as he find his group of boys tied to a pole. He pulls out his dagger and back flips out of the circle of pirates and lands by his only friends. He slices the rope that binds them and they run for cover. The pirates turn to Peter and run at him with their swords. He dives into the water, and swims after his boys who are already close to the shore. James shouts at the men on the ship and Peter hears a cannon being fired.
"DUCK!"
He screams to the other boys and they all dive under water as a cannon hurtles where their heads just were. Peter surfaces and hears James cursing at his crew. Peter sighs and swims slowly back to shore. James had shown his true colors.
Peter should have listened to the Indians and Tink when he had the chance.
But it was too late. So, at last, the war had begun...
