Peter had arrived home with Michael and John after night fall. All the girls were tucked in except Alice. Her words left her mouth before she could think clearly. "Wendy hasn't come back." The three boys looked at each other and Peter growled slightly. He ordered the two to remain in the house while he went to look.

Taking to the sky, he drifted to the Indian settlement. There was fire going in the center and a low rumble of drums. He was flooded with relief believing Wendy was there. As he got closer he didn't see the girl anywhere. Landing to the side, a girl ran up to him. Her black hair was braided and had a leather band with one feather on it. The brown eyes and deeply tanned face were upset.

"Why are you here?" Her voice was tense. Peter shook his head.

"Is Wendy here?" Tiger Lily chuckled shaking her head.

"She isn't home telling you stories?" Peter growled and she froze. "Wendy never came. Looks like she ran back to the mermaids."

His anger boiled sending him into a frenzy. In seconds he was wolf again and pounding through the trees. The trees moved out of his way as he ran hard and fast. Peter was scared but wouldn't admit it. The moon was rising higher and he couldn't stop it. Once he caught a whiff of water he changed back and strolled onto the shore.

Each whistle was loud and direct. Cheryl arose and smiled. Peter was alone again but his blank face was misgiving. She slithered back under his glare. He stepped closer so his ankles were covered.

"Where is she?" He nearly barked at the creature.

"She left with you and came back with Hook." His mouth hung open and Cheryl moved closer. "He was holding her and she was holding him even tighter." She giggled knowing it would hurt him. "Wendy didn't fight him, she got in his boat."

"Where did he take her?" Cheryl shrugged and slipped underwater. Peter stood there unsure what to do next. He could either search the ship or go to Skull Island. Instead he turned furry and ran home. Wendy's brothers were outside waiting when the beast strolled up. John went to act until it turned into Peter. Michael began to glow in curiosity.

"She went with Hook." All three ducked into the house to discuss further plans. Alice sat next to Michael with a bunny in her hands. The others were still asleep and Peter planned to keep it that way.

"He's a pirate, you sure he didn't kidnap her?" John's voice was firm even though he was terrified.

"Cheryl said Wendy got on the boat without being forced." One of John's eyebrows cocked. "Cheryl is a mermaid." The brothers just nodded unsure how to respond.

"When do we get Wendy back?" Michael's voice filled the room. He was scared but dying to see all of Never Land. Wendy use to talk about it at night. It was nothing like they imagined.

"I don't even know where she is. He could have even taken her out of Never Land. Let's all get some sleep and I will check their ship tomorrow. You two can have my room if you want."

Alice was tucked in by Peter who urged her not to mention word of Wendy. They would just tell the others she was staying with Tiger Lily like a sleep over. The others didn't need to worry yet and he didn't want them to wake up and try and fight where it may not be needed.

Peter slept in his bear chair. The other boys had passed out on the covers. His home was silent was dripping in tension. All he wanted was Wendy home resting in his arms. She would be safer there. He had already begun to kick himself for even thinking she could manage walking home alone on an island she'd never been on.

He awoke to all the girls sitting down with the boys eating lunch. They let him sleep figuring he had spent a long night out getting the boys and then visiting Wendy at her sleep over. Peter grabbed a sandwich and took off. Everyone assumed he was going to pick up Wendy so they didn't question him. He could only hope to see her again.

As he made it to Hook's ship he circled from high above but saw no movement. He knew they wouldn't leave during the day but Wendy was human and she could see the sun. She wasn't there. Peter spiraled further down. Flying by every window he saw no one human of vampire. His heart beat from his chest before dying on the waves. Feeling defeated he flew home practically crying. He had finally found a girl and she was gone. All he wanted was to see her again alive.
