Wildest Dreams - Peter Pan OUAT

Meeting Henry

Wendy

I wake up, feeling a throbbing sensation on the right side of my head. I reach up to feel the wound, but my hands are restrained. I look down in front of me to see new ropes tied around my wrists. My eyes are slightly blurry with unshed tears.

I tried pushing myself to a sitting position but stopped when I saw a pair of feet coming towards me. I look up and see Peter's face in front of mine. He kneels down by my body, "ah well look who's finally awake." He says smirking.

I whimper and attempt to push myself away. "Please d-don't hurt me." I whisper. He stands up and yanks me to my feet. I stumble forward into his arms, but immediately try and push him away.

He wraps his arms around me, encasing me tightly in his hold. "Do you want these ropes off or not?" He snaps in my ear. I shiver, feeling his warm breath tickle my neck. He unwraps his arms from around me and grips my wrists. He takes out a pocket knife and points it at me.

I look at it and take a small step back. He looks at me and smirks in amusement. "What? You actually think I'm going to kill you?" He asks chuckling. I squint my eyes at him in confusion. "Well I mean aren't you? That's why you've taken me isn't it?" I question. "Oh little Wendy bird, I'm not going to kill you. That's not how this game works, love." He says.

He cuts the ropes off of my wrists and I grab them; trying to get rid of the soreness. "Now why don't you go sit down by the fire. I understand you must have many question's on why you're here and such. I will answer them in time." I look over by the fire pit surrounded by logs, with boys scattered around them.

I turn and take a step to walk away, when my arm is grabbed. Peter pulls me back and I crash into his chest. I look up at his face. "Don't even think about running Wendy. You don't know the danger's of this jungle. You have no idea what lurks within it... Unless you want to give it a go." He leans down closer to my face, where our noses are almost touching. "I always do love a good chase." He whispers.

He let's go of my arm's and back's away, leaving to do who knows what. I slowly make my way over to the fire pit, and I see a boy sitting away from the rest of the Lost Boy's. I go over and sit next to him on the log. "Hello." I say. "Hi, I'm sorry do I know you?" He asks taking a double take.

I look at him curiously, "uh no I'm sorry. I don't think we've met before. I'm Wendy. Wendy Darling." I give a small smile. His eyes widen and gives me a big smile. "You're Wendy Darling? As in Princess Wendy Darling?" He asks. "Yes that's me, have you heard of me?" He scoots closer to me on the log. "Yeah! I have, and I know this is going to sound weird but I have this book. And it has these stories in it, they tell the stories of fairytale character's. But the thing is that they are real stories. And you- you're in them!"

I look at him completely confused, "I'm sorry but... I don't even know your name." I giggle. He laughs, "oh sorry my name is-" "Henry." We both turn around and see Peter standing behind us. "What do you want?" Henry grumbles. "I just wondered why you two aren't joining in the festivities. I mean we are celebrating for the arrival of both of you." Peter says, putting a hand on my shoulder. I become stiff under his touch.

Henry notices this and says, "okay well then tell me the real reason why I'm here. I don't believe a word you're telling me. Cause ou- my... Family is coming for me, and we will bring Wendy with us." Henry says confidently. "Henry half of these boys have been thinking their families will come for them. And they haven't... What makes yours so special?" Peter asks.

Henry smiles, "my family's different... We always find each other." He says looking at me.

A/N: Ok that chapter wasn't very long and I apologize. But for the past few days, Wattpad hasn't been letting me upload this chapter... I kept trying but it wasn't working. So I actually had to rewrite the chapter on my phone right now in the car on my way to my friend's funeral. So it's been a rough time for me. But I will update again soon. Please vote/comment, thanks!
