Hellllooooo! I'm back for the next chapter! I thought 2012 would be my inspiration for an update. Oh, alright who am I fooling? So are you guys! Thanks so much for reviewing! So here's your new chapter!

Do you remember your coming down,
Forced to take sides?
Your taunted charm and your broken smile,
Touched me unexpectedly.

So long,
So long you've waited in line.
Desire is a gift in life.
So long,
So long you've left and arrived,
It's time for you to stay a while.

If you chose life,
You know what the fear is like.
You welcome addiction,
This is your kingdom.

Your fight for power,
For memories, answers and signs,
Will bring you through the dark to light,
Clear and redefined.

"You are such a codfish brother! Sometimes I wonder how you ever got this far…"

His eyes snapped open, suddenly aware that something was amiss. Wendy Darling still lay peacefully, if a little pale and drawn on the bed beside him; The open window lightly rustling her beautiful brown curly hair. Her eyelashes dark against her pale skin. Just then she mumbled and her expression changed, morphing into something of confusion. If he guessed at what she said he would've thought it was 'dodo.' A most curious thing. She had been unconscious for a day now, but he chalked it up for the weather she was submitted to. The supply of chicken broth came in good form, for he never knew when it might be needed. Carefully, he got up and shackled on his belt with the sword and pistol still in the rightful places. He hadn't had time to remove the harness to his hook so it made things a lot easier. Quietly, he slipped out the door.

It was still dark out, but the sky was brightening up from the early morning. Nothing gave any signal, however to the churning he felt in his gut. The few pirates wandering around nodded at him respectfully. Maybe his instinct had been wrong this time. Taking his time, he slowly walked back to his cabin taking note of everything. He was about to unclip his belt when he noticed something was most definitely wrong. Wendy Darling was now missing from her spot on the bed. He rushed over and recognized the open window. He could spot a dark blotch in the sky and heard a noticeably familiar 'caw.'

"PETER!"

From his hidden spot in the clouds, he could make out the Jolly Roger. He had once flown the ship, long ago riding waves of fairy dust into the night. It had been very magical. He wondered why Hook hadn't made a move. Days had gone by and they hadn't even heard the slightest threaten since well, a long time ago. So, he was expecting it any day. Maybe it was his turn to make the first move?

Peter crept along the top of the ship where he was out of sight. Knowing Hook like he did, he knew the old man would soon figure out the ruse, so he had to be fast. And he was always fast. The burst of wood against wood had him moving quickly into the captain's quarters through the open window. He halted in midair when he saw the lady.

His mission was to steal the most valuable item from hook, but when he saw the lady, he knew. He heard the familiar click of boots and started out the window with his prize. The Lost Boys would be proud of him for his pick. Maybe this lady would even be their mother! He had been far enough along when he heard the below of Hook.

"PETER!"

"James!" her eyes fluttered open when the phantom voice of the pirate captain drifted along her senses. For what seemed like the third time, she woke up somewhere different. Leaves and branches caressed her body as she shifted upright. Well, almost upright. The roof was built smaller so she had to duck her head quite a bit. There was a door made out of branches to her left. She brushed her fingers against it when it suddenly opened. Bright light poured out from the opening, and she had to cover her eyes from its intensity.

"Mother! You're awake."

From the voice she could make out a young boys curiosity. Mother? She had no children. But then her reasoning tuned in. Peter Pan! He used to call her mother. He was the father.

When she was able to adjust to the bright light, she took in the scene.

"Peter?"

I highly recommend checking out the song. Do I finally know where I'm going with this story? Yes, yes I do. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I had a sudden jolt-to-the-brain about connections with this story and I started writing. It was well past 12:00 when I realized I was still writing. A new chapter will be up soon, this I promise you.
