The Lost Boy

Chapter 23

"Kendall it's time to wake up." Peter said as he vigorously stretched. He turned around to kiss her but she was gone. He sprung out of bed searching the cabin all over and outside all around the hot springs, however Kendall was no where to be seen. Peter began to worry, but instead he remained calm until he reached the campsite to see is Jimmy or Sebby have seen her. 

"Hey Jimmy, have you seen Kendall around?" 

"Actually I am pretty certain I saw her and Sebastian go into her old tent to talk about something."

Sure enough Peter strolled over to see if she was still in there. He heard her voice, but decided not to barge in so he listened quietly outside.

"Sebastian, are you ready to go home and see your parents."

"Not really, they fought all the time."

"I promise you they are better now. They love you so very much and are ready for you to come home and be a family with them. Your dad is going to school to be a police officer and your mom is thinking about med school, but because you are so important to her she isn't sure and just wants to be there to support you."

"If you say so, I do miss them a little bit. Will I still get to see Jimmy and some of the other boys."

"Of course you will."

"Alright, I suppose I am as ready as I will ever be to go home."

Kendall walked out of the tent and to her surprise Peter was waiting right outside. He caught her off guard, but he calmed quickly.

"You should tell the boys to start/finish packing up what they want because we are leaving soon."

"Will do, but are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just a little stressed and anxious about what is approaching."

"That's reasonable, but I know you'll do great."

The day past by and all the boys went into their tents for one final night. Kendall got ready and Peter stood by and watched. For once Kendall was completely silent and had no emotion whatsoever. She kissed Peter one last time before she began her journey to the center of Neverland and there Pan's shadow awaits. First she must defeat the shadow just in time for the door of the cave to open. Next she must enter the cave and hike down to the heart of Neverland and there she must place the key in the hole, turn it, and run before the cave collapses on itself.   

.     .     .

Kendall enter the cave that leads to the center of Neverland. "Here goes nothing," she thought to herself as nerves built up and she got an empty sickening feeling in her gut. Her determination was impeccable as she continued despite her nausea. She was halfway down when she enter into tighter section of the tunnel making her claustrophobic. This tunnel went on for 2 minutes until she reached an opening where Pan's shadow awaits on the most extravagant throne.

"I've been expecting you...Kendall"
