Peter Pan (2003)

Chapter 2

(Elizabeth's P.O.V.)

I was in the bedroom with Wendy, John and their little brother Michael who was born when Wendy and I were almost 9 as she was a few days older than me. It has been 5 years since I came to the Darling house which makes me 13. I was helping Wendy tell the story about Cinderella. I was Cinderella since I matched the description. "Cinderella flew through the air far from all things ugly and ordinary." I said. Wendy continued, "She landed at the ball she found herself most imperially (a/n: is that what she says?) surrounded by pirates. There was Alf Mason, so ugly his mother sold him for a bottle of muskat." Then I said, "Bill Dukes. Every inch of him tattooed." Then Wendy finally said one of my favorite pirates as they all know, "And the cruelest of them all. Hook. His eyes blue as forget-me-nots same when he clawed your belly with the iron hook he has instead of a right hand and each time his eyes turn red." While Wendy was talking about Hook, I grabbed a sword knowing what was coming next. Then John got up and grabbed a sword and continued the story, "'Girly' said Hook 'We have come for ye glass slippers'" He put his right hand up as a hook and pointed the sword at me. I then said, "Who you be to order me about and call me girly?" We started a little sword fight but I felt like we were being watched. Wendy then continued, "Hook came at her." John let out a battle cry and came at me. I did a little back bend before he could get me making his sword crash into the bookshelf. Nana (the dog we have) started barking at the window. We ran over and opened it and looked outside. There was nothing below us or above us. Our clock then started cokoing saying it was bath time and the Darling children's aunt was here as I still was just an orphan staying there until I was adopted. As I was already ready for bed I went downstairs to greet Millicent, their aunt. She treated me like I was also a Darling even though she knew I was only there temporarily. I sat on the couch until Wendy, John and Michael came downstairs. Mrs. Darling then turned to me and asked, "Elizabeth would you like to sing?" I nodded and stood up and sat at the piano and started singing a song that I wrote.

(Song: See You Again)

When I finished everyone started clapping yet I still felt like we were being watched. I got up and sat in a chair near Mr. Darling. Mrs. Darling then sat at the piano and started playing. Soon all four of us kids started skipping around Millicent. Mr. Darling told us to stop so we sat down. Then John said, "Wendy's turn." Then Michael then added on "Wendy must tell a story along with Lizzy." Lizzy was the nickname Michael gave me and I've kept it since. So Wendy and I got up and went to the front ready to tell one of our stories. Then John said, "Chourkeer who carves his name at the governor at Gower." We knew what story he was talking about so we started jumping a bit. Then Michael said, "Newlug with his hands on backwards" Millicent was surprised and said, "Heavens." Michael suddenly said, "HOOK!" She then replied, "Hook?!" John then explained, "Hook his eyes turn red as he cuts you." "Oh how children our educated these days" Wendy then spoke up, "I'm afraid we don't learn at all Aunt Millicent." Speaking for the both of us. Then I continued, "But we do know a thing or two about pirates." Wendy then said, "Our great ambition is write a great novel in three parts about our adventures." The Millicent asked, "What adventures?" "We have yet to have one." Wendy replied. I continued, "But they will be perfectly thrilling." We ran back to our spot next to Mrs. Darling but Millicent stopped us before we could start the story. "Children, novelists are not highly thought of. And it will not be easy to marry as a novelist." We looked at her confused "Married?" Wendy and I asked. "Married?" Mr. Darling asked. "Married." John and Michael said. Then Mrs. Darling talked, "Aunt Wendy and Elizabeth are only 13." But she ignored her comment and looked at us and said, "Walk towards me dears." We walked towards with Mr. Darling telling us to stand up straighter and John and Michael stifling their laughter. Millicent asked us to turn around and we started giggling. She took hold of our hands and looked at us. She started talking and said something and we put our hands to our chins and started backing up. She continued by talking about a kiss. Wendy and I put our hands to our lips. She came up to us and told us what the kiss is for. Then Mr. and Mrs. Darling came up and stood next to Millicent.

They told us to wait in our room while they talked. We crouched next to the doorway to hear what they are talking about. They talked about Wendy getting her own room and me sharing with her until I am adopted. I didn't want to hear the rest so I went upstairs and waited in bed.
