I don't own anything it all belongs to the amazing J M Barrie, without whom Peter and Neverland would not exist. Please R&R – Much love Erika-Jayne

Chapter Six

After a few moments Peter dismissed the lost boys, they ran as quickly as they could from the hideout. Christopher and Robert stepped away from Samantha who just rolled her eyes.

"Yes you can go with them but please be careful. Don't do anything stupid."

"We promise." They said in unison.

"Go on then." Samantha said with a smile, ran her hands over her pyjama bottoms to clear some of the mud that seemed to have been caked upon them. "Goodness I should wash these." She looked up towards Peter who said nothing, just flew quickly out the door. "Great. I have been in Neverland for five minutes and have already messed things up TWICE!" Samantha placed her head in her hands.

"Samantha." A quite voice said beside her.

"Robert leave me alone!" Samantha said without raising her head. From through her fingers she saw a bright yellow light as she slowly brought her fingers away from her eyes she saw Tinkerbell floating just in front of her.

"Tinkerbell, if you want to get me out of Neverland and make sure I leave Peter well alone that is fine with me. I don't want to stay in this messed up place anyway."

"Why did you lie for me?" Tinkerbell's voice was small and quite her delicate face was tilted towards the floor.

"Because I knew that if Peter realised it was your fault then he would have banished you and then you would have got mad and done something silly." Samantha replied quietly, she knew how the story ended with Tinkerbell betraying Peter to Captain Hook and them all getting captured and nearly killed and Samantha did not really was to die, even if it was nearly.

"Oh." Tinkerbell said.

"Anyway I thought you couldn't speak just tinkle?"

"I can talk, it's just not many people are willing to listen closely to a fairy when she speaks so tinking just seemed easier."

"Oh."

Samantha smiled could not help but think that J M Barrie may have got Tinkerbell wrong. She was actually quite nice.

MEANWHILE ELSE WHERE IN NEVERLAND:

"Following the leader, the leader, the leader" Robert sang loudly, as he walked across a fallen log over a stream.

"Must you sing that?" Christopher asked. Robert nodded and carried on singing. "Excuse me Nibs. What are we actually doing?"

"We are going to catch us some Indians." replied Nibs.

"That is if they don't get us first." stated Slightly.

"Do they get you a lot?" Christopher asked.

"Not really." Tootles said as he swung from a nearby branch.

"Well we need to get a plan. How are we going to capture us some Indians?" Christopher asked.

"We just run around Neverland until we come across them." the twins stated together.

The lost boys, Christopher and Robert walked straight ahead towards a small group of pine trees. The lost boys were pushing each other and shouting 'Uh, let's go get 'em! Come on! We'll get 'em!"

"We need to get a strategy together." Christopher said as he called the group into a circle. The lost boys looked at each other in confusion

"What's a "stradegy"?" asked the twins.

Robert was looking at the foot prints on the dusty floor, as he took several steps forward and saw an axe, lying by a large log near the huddle. One of the pine trees in front of Robert moved, it took a step forward. Robert flung himself into the middle of the huddle while shouting.

"Christopher they're here! We are surrounded."

Before the lost boys knew what was happening that had been tied up and placed in a line, in front of the Indian Chief.

"How Chief "the lost boys said with a smile.

"For many moons red man fight lost boys. Sometimes you win, sometimes we win."

"Yes Chief, now turn us loose." said Curly.

"Turn loose? This is just a game?" asked Christopher with a frown.

"Sure" The twins said "When we win, we turn them loose and when they win they turn us loose."

The lost boys has bright smiles on their faces, they could not wait to play the next game.

"This time, no turn loose." stated the Chief.

"What!" The boys gasped.

"Where you hide Princess Tiger Lily?" The Chief said with anger upon his already red face.

"We ain't got her!" shouted Nibs.

"If Tiger Lily not back by sunset. Burn'em at stake."

ELSEWHERE IN NEVERLAND

"I don't know what she was hiding but she was hiding something." muttered Peter as he flew alone over the crystal blue waters of Mermaid Lagoon. "What I can't work out is why it is affecting me so much."

"Peter. Oh Peter!" A voice called from below him, sitting on a large rock were three mermaids. They were all so beautiful, their hair was long and had beautiful flowers placed into it.

"Hello girls" Peter called back as he swooped down towards them. The blonde mermaid patted the rock next to her for Peter to sit, yet he only crossed his legs and hovered above the spot.

"Peter why did you stay away so long? Did you miss us?" asked the dark haired mermaid.

"Of course I missed you all." Peter said with a cocky smile on his face.

"Tell us one of you adventures" said the enthusiastic brunette mermaid.

"You like the story of when I cut of Hook's hand and threw it to the crocodile?" Peter said.

The mermaids clapped and cheer with excitement. Just as Peter was about to start his story he heard the sound of a boat on the water. Peter leapt up behind a rock that hung out over the sea and saw Hook with Smee and Tiger Lily.

"It's Hook." Peter called back to the mermaids. Who instantly jumped head first under the water and disappeared. "They have Tiger Lily." Peter said to himself.
