Wendy didn't notice she had fallen asleep again until she heard someone whispering her name. She felt soft fingers touching her hair and an urgent voice said her name again. Her eyes opened and met frightened blue eyes.
"Peter, what are you doing here?"
"I had to make sure you were alright. I'll get you out of here, Wendy."
"Peter, listen to me. It's a trap. Get out of here now!" But Peter shook his head as he attempted to pull the chains off.
"I'm not leaving without you."
"Hook will kill you, Peter! Please. Just go." Peter's eyes met hers again and she saw a hard resolution in them.
"I am not leaving you," he said again in a strong voice. The sound of it made Wendy's heart skip a beat. His voice, too, had changed. Peter now had to be at least seventeen or eighteen. Or he would be if anyone knew his true age. She doubted if he had even realized just how much he had grown. Wendy had a sudden desire to lean over and kiss him again but she knew this was neither the time nor the place. Peter was focused on Wendy's chains when the door burst open and they heard a triumphant yell.
"The Cap'n said he would come! Hold him down boys." Peter jumped into the air and sailed over their heads.
"Fly away Peter," Wendy cried. With a desperate look at Wendy, he flew out the window but he stopped when he heard Hook growl his name. He turned back and his eyes widened in horror when he saw Hook holding Wendy up by the hair, his cruel hook digging into her throat.
"Do you really want to be the cause of her death, boy? Come back in here, there's a good lad, and no harm shall come to her." Wendy whimpered and shook her head.
"Don't listen to him, Peter, just get out of here while you can!" She cried out as the hook pierced her flesh and a tiny droplet of blood appeared on her neck. Peter reached out toward her, flying back in but staying out of reach.
"Let her go, Hook!"
"I'll count to three, Pan. On three I slice her throat and feed her body to the sharks so that you'll have nothing to grieve over. One." Peter looked frantically at Wendy, his eyes filled with terror.
"Wendy-"
"Two."
"Wendy, I can't—"
"Please Peter," she said quietly. The hook moved down to the base of her throat, positioned to kill. Silently, Peter dropped to the floor and hung his head, defeated. Two pirates leapt forward and bound and gagged him tightly. Wendy screamed as he fell to the floor, bound with heavy ropes. He didn't once put up a fight. His frightened eyes found hers and they were heavy and sad. Hook threw Wendy to the floor and he barked at the men to bring Peter to his cabin. Hook looked back at Wendy and bowed low.
"My thanks, dear Wendy, for making it so easy." As the door closed, she collapsed in a fit of tears, knowing she would be the downfall of Peter Pan.
