Never Say Goodbye (Peter Pan 1953)

Never Say Goodbye Chapter 3

For the last couple of days I have been playing planning my escape. First I am going to wait until Hook trusts me. Then during the night I am going to run or swim. Depending where we are at.

Hook drops down some food. An apple. Better than nothing. I take a bite of the blood red apple and play my necklace. I love Peter. I'd do anything for him.

I think about him. About the time when he was flying and I was on his back. I've gotten used to soaring through the skies. Peter took me to Cannibal Cove. We just skipped rock across the sapphire waters.

I grin at the thought of his smile and laughter. I take another bite. The cell door opens and it's Smee.

"Cap'n Hook has requested you." He stutters. I just smile wickedly and stand up taking one last bite before setting my apple down. Maybe I don't need to wait for trust.

Smee guides me to the deck. Before he can takes me to the captain's quarters I dive off deck and into the water. I don't look back I just swim. Yelling is all I can hear in the distance. I paddle towards the island.

When I reach the shore I look back and see a small boat paddling towards me. I chuckle and run into the forest.

"Peter!" I call out. Adrenaline fills me just as fear did. I run faster towards the hideout.

I see it. The stump. I climb in it and swoop down the slide. The lost boys see me and run towards me. I hug them excited to be home.

"Where's Peter?" I ask quietly. They point to his room. I slowly enter and see him asleep on his hammock. I smile and lay next to him. Peter doesn't wake yet I feel like he is dreaming about me.

An hour later Peter mumbles something and slowly opens his eyes. He totally freaks out and falls off the hammock. I laugh and sit up.

"Is it?" He peers over the hammock and I nod. He hugs me tightly. It feels so good to be with this boy again. Peter lifts me off the ground and spins me around.

"I love you." I say blushing. He puts me down and gazes into my eyes. Then I remember the pirates.

"HOOK, HE IS COMING HE IS GONNA KILL YOU!" I scream. He takes my hand and tells the lost boys something. We book it out of there. I see Tink following us. I don't even think. I just let my feet carry me away with Peter and the Lost Boys.
