Wendy's Adventure

Chapter 3

    The ride to what Pan called home took no more than fifteen minutes. To Wendy it felt like an eternity. All she could think was "Am I dead?" Maybe it was a figment of her imagination, Wendy tried to rationalize what she saw.
    When they had landed. Wendy waited for him to cut the line around her waist as soon as Pan did she pushed him away.
    "Am I dead? I saw a body that looked pretty bloody familiar when we left. Did you kill me? What is going on?" Wendy had never truly been angry. Just hurt or upset. But in this moment she was mad.
    "I'm sorry. If I would have told you, you wouldn't have come. You would have stayed. I wanted to be with you. I just wanted you to be happy-with me." He looked sad. Like he was truly sorry.
    "Why didn't you just tell me. 'Oh by the way if you want I come with me you have to die first.' What kind of crap is that! I can't believe you. Ugh!" Wendy sighed heavily. She sat down and took deep breaths of air. She cleared her mind.
    "Thank you for getting me out of there. I didn't want to be there. You were right, if you would have told me I wouldn't have agreed to go. But, I am thankful none the less." Wendy had kept her eyes closed while saying this. When she opened them Pan had moved in front of her.
    She looked into his eyes."Wendy...I'm incredibly sorry that I didn't tell you. I was going to as soon as we got here but you looked and I never got the chance..." He looked at her with such a sad expression that Wendy felt almost bad for him.
    "It's okay. I wish you would have just told-" Wendy was cut short by a loud booming sound and a loud rush of air close to where she and Pan were sitting.
Wendy looked around where they landed for the first time. They were on a cloud. She was confused as to how this was possible but didn't question it because the loud booming sound came again.
    "Shit, we need to leave. NOW!" Pan grabbed Wendy in his arms and the bags and took off. They went straight for a densely wooded area. Wendy started to slip from Pan's grasp. She screamed as she tumbled down through the leaves and branches.
        Wendy landed on the ground with a loud thump. The wind had been knocked out of her. She lay there gasping for air. Wendy felt a two pair of hands lifting her to her feet. She looked up into a pair of eyes like chipped ice, they were an incredible blue.
    "Well what have we here?" A man with jet black curly hair to about his shoulders questioned her. He was thin and had on a long Prussian blue trench coat. He had a bit of scruff on his jaw. His nose was long with a slight raise in the bridge. Handsome but in an odd way.
    "Who are you?" He asked her with his strong British accent.
    "My name is Wendy. I-I came here with P-pan. Perhaps you know him?" She said in a whisper due to lack of air.
    The strange man laughed. "Know him! He's the one who brought me here. Hell he brought all of us here. We had no choice in this. Know him? He is the angel of death. How could I not!" He spat the last sentence. "I assume he took you away from some wonderful home. Stole you from a loving family. I'm sorry."
    Wendy couldn't help but smile. "No actually. I am-well was an orphan. I was in a terrible place for a long time and he too me away from there. He saved me." Wendy stopped smiling. " Did you just say he brought you all here, and that he is the angel of death?"
    The man moved away from her and nodded slowly. He squinted at her and then opened his eyes really wide like he just realized something that should have been completely obvious. "Your her? But I thought...he broke the rules. He must have. That bloody-!" The man growled. "Smiley! Get this girl back to the ship. Put her in my quarters. I'll be there shortly. I have business to attend to."
    "Yes sir Captain. I'll get right to it sir." The man smiley took Wendy by the shoulder and walked her in another direction away from the strange man he called Captain.
                           •  •  •  •
     Wendy was brought onboard a large ship. Awaiting her were several men-some boys, dressed in your typical pirate ship get ups. Smiley took her up a set of stairs toward the rear of the ship and was pushed lightly through a door. It was locked behind her.
    She say there for what felt like two hours before Hook walked into the room. Pan was right behind him with a sour expression.
    "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Captain Lucifer Green. Please do not be mislead by the name."
    "It's lovely to meet you. May I ask why I'm here? I'm quite confused. I only arrived a few hours ago...least I think it's been a few hours. You said he broke some sort of rule. What would that be exactly?" Wendy gestured to Pan who was still looking quite unhappy.
    Captain Green looked at her with his icy blue eyes. "Sorry miss I don't believe I caught your name."
     "You did earlier when you ordered Mr.Smiley to bring me on your ship. Wendy, remember." she looked at him in his icy eyes "Please do not try to  change the subject. I would simply like to know why I am being held here, and why Mr.Pan looks so incredibly unhappy. And what bloody rule did he brake." Wendy pointed directly at Pan while holding Captain Greens gaze.
    He eventually looked away and smiled. "Well it looks as though we've some explaining to do old friend." Green looked at Pan with a cold stare. "Well Miss Wendy I suppose I should start from the very beginning, it will be a while so would you like some tea or...anything to make your stay here comfortable?" Green looked at her expectantly.
    Wendy just tilted her head from side to side. "If its no trouble at all I would love a cup of mint tea to calm my nerves, and could I just call you Lucifer? It is after all easier to say than Captain Green." Lucifer nodded and agreed she could call him by his first name, and that it is no trouble whatsoever to make her a cup of mint tea.
