Chapter Six: I do believe in fairies
Peter, Wendy and Michael ran back to the secret hideout, which was trashed. Peter searched the hideout for a sign.
"We should take our medicine before we go" Peter told them. "It will give us strenth" Wendy nodded. They couldn't know that Hook had slipped a deadly poison into the medicine bottle.
After Tinkerbelle had led the pirates, to Peter's cove, Hook had grabbed her and locked her in a glass case. Tink realized that she had been foolish, when she heard Hook say that he had a poisonus surprise for Peter. tears filled her eyes, for there was no way she could help her friend. Suddenly she spotted a very small hole in a corner of the case. Using all her might she slipped out through the hole, and flew frantically towards the hideout.
Wendy took the bottle and carefully poured out three tablespoons each in a small glass. Peter lifted his to his lips but Tinkerbelle zoomed through the window and drank the medicine before he had a chance. Peter glared at the small fairy angrily, but then the three children noticed that she seemed to be getting weak. She fell to the table and stumbled a bit.
"Tinkerbelle?" Peter said softly, kneeling by the table. She looked up at him and smiled gently. Then her light faded and her body became cold as ice. Tears filled Peter's eyes.
"oh no" Wendy whispered. Michael clung to her, unsure of what was going on.
Isabelle glared angrily at Captain Hook, but the older man simply smirked.
"What will you do to us?" She asked haughtily. Hook grinned.
"your little friends shall walk the plank, right after you" He told her. Isabelle tried to squelch her fear for the sake of the lost boys.
"It will be okay" she tried to assure them. The pirates laughed heartily at her attempt. "You won't get away with this. Peter will save us" No sooner were the words out of her mouth, that the sky grew stormy and they heard a shrill wailing voice across the sea.
"The boy must be dead" Hook sneered. "No one can save you now" tears filled Isabelle's eyes.
Peter carried the small fairy outside and laid her on the ground. His sobs were loud and racked his body. Wendy placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. She leaned down.
"I do believe in fairies" She whispered in his ear. Peter looked up at her than back at Tinkerbelle.
"I do believe in fairies" He repeated her words. "I do believe in Fairies!" Wendy and Michael joined him in the chant.
"I do believe in fairies, I do, I do" Peter shouted the words to the heavens.
A flash of lightning cracked through the sky. Isabelle looked up, her face streaked with tears.
"I do believe in fairies" She said softly. Hook turned to face her.
"What?" He hissed.
"I do believe in fairies" She said it a bit louder. "I do, I do" The lost boys seemed a bit confused, but they soon joined her chanting. Hook scowled as even his pirates seemed caught up in the moment.
Peter kept chanting till his voice was hoarse.
"Peter look!" Wendy exclaimed. Peter looked down at the small fairy and saw that some of the color was coming back into her body. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him, a smile on her face.
"Oh Tink, you're alive!" Peter exclaimed, happily.
