chapter 13 Cannons, Swords and Pixie Dust
Flying was to Peter what rain was to trees, it brought him to life. He was focused and a smile never left his face. His twirls of golden hair were everywhere and he moved with grace and precision. Luna could only take small glances at him as she tried not to look down or move too much in the panicked state that she was in. She had heard Peter say he was taking her to Neverland, the place she knew he had lived for many years, the place that if she recalled well was where you never grew up. The thought would have been something out of this world for a child, but for Luna it was just something she had to deal with in hopes of saving her brother and maybe herself. She was shivering, the night was cold and with Peter flying at full speed it felt like winter.
"P-p-peter s-slow down," – she tried to say shivering. – "I can't ..." – he glanced her way, their eyes meeting, Luna felt the cold air stop as she focused on him.
"I cannot stop, if I do we are a target," – he explained as the silver bell appeared next to him.
"How do we get to Neverland?"
"There are many ways."
"A complete sentence would be nice," – she said sarcastically then screamed as Peter dropped trying to escape the black cloud that had almost surrounded them. – "I hate drops please I can't take it!"
"If that cloud gets us we will be in danger," – he said making a turn. – "It would had been easier if you could fly."
"This isn't the best way to convince me to fly!" – She tried to yell but the wind would swallow her words.
She suddenly saw a sword coming out of the clouds behind Peter, it was about to strike him down and she almost panicked, but then she remembered Peter's knife. She made a fast turn with her hand finding it, making Peter confuse as she blocked the sword from reaching him from behind, but the impact of both items had pushed Luna off-balance. Peter's eyes opened wide, facing Luna who was holding him with trembling arms, her eyes were closed her dark hair all messed up and she was sure she had to look like someone who had lost all sanity. Peter's eyes narrowed as he looked around them glaring at the dark clouds that waited their fall, he held Luna closer to him so close she could hear his heartbeat. She slowly opened her eyes, her heart was almost having an attack but she kept them opened. Holding on to Peter seemed like her smartest option at the moment.
Then again she was also thinking she had lost the little intelligence she still had by trusting the young man who was not even supposed to be real.
"Listen Luna, I need you to stay calm and listen to what I have to say." – Peter said close to her ear as she nodded.–"You need to believe that all of this is real, don't close your heart, don't think or compare reality and fiction, if you do you won't be able to cross into neverland."
"I just want to save Ben, that's all. I already believe you anyway, what else do you expect of me?"
"We are in the air, you are in my arms but you do not believe this is really happening yet. I can't help you if you don't help yourself."
"Okay, okay. I'll believe, just make this all stop. I mean, seriously, were the hell did that sword come from and what's with these damn clouds?" – Luna said in a panic state but she never got her answer, instead a huge noise was heard in the sky, to Luna it was like cannons shooting in a war. She looked at Peter who looked worried but remained silent. He slowly turned his head to see afar and dropped with Luna as fast as he could making her hold him like her life depended on it. But another cannon noise was heard and in a matter of seconds the wind that blew with it was so strong it pushed Peter and Luna away from each other, Peter tried holding to her as much as he could but their hands slipped and Luna was sent twirling in the air to her death among the dark clouds.
"Luna!" – She could hardly tell who the voice belonged to. Her heart was drumming and she could hardly breathe in her hysteria. It was freezing and she could hardly feel her body Luna then tried to open her eyes searching for hope and in the darkness a light followed her. It was Silver Bell diving next to her. Silver light, which was all she could see from the fairy, all because apparently her brain still functioned with reality. She closed her eyes trying not to panic in fear and trying to think what Peter had told her about Silver Bell and about Neverland.
"You need to believe that all of this is real, don't close your heart, don't think or compare reality and fiction, if you do you won't be able to cross into Neverland."
"I believe, I believe, I believe," – she whispered to herself feeling something steer in her head, she opened her eyes tears trying to fall and then she saw the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Long silver hair tied in a ponytail, big blue eyes pale as ice and a dress that looked as it were painted with snow. – "Silver Bell, you're beautiful," – Luna said amazed just as the fairy turned to her noticing she could see her at last, a big smile forming in her face.
"You're his treasure, I won't let you fall," – a voice whispered in her head as she saw sparkling dust surround them, bringing light to her in her fall into darkness.
A pair of arms caught her, she felt as if she was back from death. The scent of pines hit her making her feel comfort from the shilling cold. Luna had seen Peter many times before, enough to dream of him anywhere, yet it was like she was laying eyes on him for the first time.
"Second star to the right and straight until morning," – he whispered and they both disappeared in a flash of light.
