Peter had taken Wendy to a glowing tree. As they landed he began to whistle a soft tune. She watched the tree open just enough to allow a swarm of fairies to fly out and surround them. Peter bowed slightly with a smile while holding her hand. "Oh fair maiden, may I have this dance?" Her jaw hung just slightly as she gave a yes. They lifted slightly from the ground as he held her tightly to him. They began to twirl along with the fairies.
Wendy was just amazed at what Peter had done. Her head rested on his shoulder. She allowed her eyes to drift close but she never would sleep. His hand occasionally ran through her hair to keep her at peace. The only noise she could hear was his heart beating so hard because she was so close. "Wendy, I can change you so you can be a wolf like us. You'll never grow old and we can be together forever." She smiled and opened her eyes to see him better.
"I would love that Peter but not now. All I want is to dance with you and sleep. Where will I sleep tonight?" His smile faded just a tad but he was still too happy to let it crumble.
"You can sleep with the girls or your house. If you really want you can have my bed and I'll sleep on the floor." She frowned playfully with pouting eyes.
"I'll sleep there but only if you hold me until I sleep." He agreed not with words or a smile but rather with a kiss. It was soft and sweet as if she would break if he pressed too hard. Their lips melted together and all too fast he released his hold. "Oh Peter, I really do care for you." His lips pulled even more to reveal teeth and they soared higher spinning slowly. He began to whistle a gentle tune to ease their pounding hearts.
The fairies slowly returned to their home one by one until they were left with only the moon and the stars. Wendy hadn't released him for a moment so he guided them home while still spinning in delicate circles. Once they were at the tree he set her down so she could slide in.
Wendy waited at the bottom and went to give him a kiss when a tug of her hair sent her falling backwards. In one swift motion Peter caught the girl and captured a red Tinker Bell. She was jealous yet again over nothing. With a small flick the fairy was sent flying out of the tree. She needed time to cool off and learn to accept Wendy.
She gripped Peter tightly and he lifted her fully carrying her to his room. He loved her and she would be kept where everything he loved was, in his room. His arms disappeared and she fell onto the bed. Peter tucked her in before crawling in next to her to hold her. Wendy's head rested on his chest to listen to the soft melody. He stared at the ceiling but often stole glances at her.
"Tomorrow I will show you Mermaid Lagoon. Do be careful and do not listen to their songs. Whatever you do, do not let them touch you they will pull you under." His velvet voice was soft in her ear.
"You'll protect me Peter. I have nothing to worry about with you by my side." He smiled and kissed her forehead listening as her breathing got heavy. Just assure himself she was sound asleep he waited a few more minutes before rising.
As he had said before he planned to sleep on the floor. He took a spare pillow and blanket and rested on the fur rug. It was just next to the bed so he could easily get to Wendy and she would find him if she awoke in the middle of the night. Before sleeping himself he listened carefully to make sure the girls were sleeping as well. Counting seven deep breathers in his domain, he let his head fall on the pillow and the blanket rise higher. His head began to swirl and ease into oblivion.
Heads up: I won't have internet access for several days so this will be the last chapter until Thursday at best. I am sorry for the inconvenience but I will still be writing so more chapters are to come once I get the internet back. Until then feel free to leave a review or share any ideas you would like me to include in the story. There are no bad ideas just ideas I can't work with but I will try to include it the best I can. Take care, AngelicAnnabeth.
