**Peter's POV**

I flew with Allie back to the Indian's home. 'I can't believe I almost called her Wendy!' I thought to myself. I had hoped that Allie didn't catch on to what I had almost called her. I would feel terrible if she did.

My main goal at the moment is to reunite Allie with her brothers and get her home before anything bad happens; before they're forgotten.

We soared through the sky in silence, only the sound of the wind could be heard as we passed over the endless ocean and forest. Smoke could be seen not too far away from where we were and I knew we were close.

"Do you see the smoke, Allie? We're close. You'll see your brothers again soon," I said, earning a smile from her.

She seemed ecstatic. Who wouldn't be if you came to a foreign land with only two of your family members and you were suddenly separated from them by a freak accident?

We dove downward toward the tribe, but we heard cannons not too far from our location in the sky. The pirates had either found us, or the tribe.

I was worried for Allie and her brothers. She needed them to be safe so she could return home. If the pirates got ahold of them, who knows what could happen? I held out my hand to stop Allie from moving any farther then motioned for her to follow me.

"Here, stay hidden in this tree. I'll be right back. I heard cannons and I'm pretty sure you did too. I'm going to check to see if they found us or the tribe. If they found us, I'll distract them. If they found the tribe, I'll try my best to save your brothers," I said quickly before zooming away toward the tribe's home before she could protest. I didn't need anybody getting else hurt because of me, not again.

The tribe's home was empty. They're probably still on the expedition that I asked them to go on to collect Allie's brothers, or at least that what I had hoped. I went back into the sky and hovered over the grounds. That's when I heard the yelling. It seemed to get closer and closer to the Indian's home. Numerous voices filled the air.

Pirates. I could hear them screaming orders and they had captured the Indians as well. I grew worried. Allie's brothers! I saw them. They were being dragged along by a pirate that I did not know. The Indians were being forced to lead the pirates to their home.

I landed in the center of the land and waited for the pirates to show up. When they did, they were taken aback then quickly drew their swords and pointed it directly at me. I smirked at them when Captain Hook pushed himself to the front and approached me.

They all lowered their weapons and watched our rendezvous in silence. I discreetly glanced up at a tree and saw Allie peaking out of the top, safe and sound. I could still see the worried look on her face as she recognized the situation.

**Allie's POV**

I wanted to intervene so bad. My brothers were down there. And Peter, oh Peter was facing a dangerous pirate. I'm sure he knew what he was doing but it was still risky. Oh how I wanted to interrupt and help my brothers.

I could see the whole scene unfold from the tree. Captain Hook was a few inches from Peter and looked awfully evil. His yellow smile was revolting. I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that something bad would happen if I didn't intervene, and fast.

The scene below me began to slowly spiral out of control. Hook had unsheathed his sword and pointed it directly at Peter's chest. Peter wasn't moving out of the way. I decided to take it upon myself to untie the Indians that had been pushed back behind the other pirates.

I was as stealthy as I could be, considering I didn't sneak around much. I made sure to fly high so nobody would see me and then slowly descend into the forest. The sun was setting and the sky was getting progressively darker and darker.

I walked cautiously through the trees and different vegetation on the first floor. It was becoming harder to see where I was going until I bumped into someone or something. I looked up and realized it was an Indian. Before they could say anything, I put my finger on my lips to tell them to be quiet.

The knots in the ropes were harder to untie than I had originally thought. My fingers kept slipping and I squinted her eyes to see. Miraculously, I was able to get the rope untied and motion for the Indian to help with the others. I heard Hook and Peter speaking.

"So, Peter, I hear that you have some new children in Neverland. Two young boys and, oh a girl. Did you bring another girl to replace your lost Wendy?" Hook asked sarcastically.

The silence spoke a thousand words. I had gotten close to the front of the group. I stood behind a few pirates, unnoticed, but could still see Peter. He looked lonely and remorseful. I felt a small pain in my heart.

'Did he really only bring me here because he wanted to replace Wendy?' I thought to myself. The thought had only made my heart hurt more.

I shook the thought form my head and turned around to finish helping with freeing the rest of the Indians. I soon saw my brothers and smiled as I walked toward them and embraced them in a hug. I kept them quiet and advised that they stay where they were.

I didn't know what to do next. Everything happened so fast. The Indians attacked the pirates. I grabbed my brothers and flew them to a safe spot. Everything became chaos. I took a sword off of a pirate that had fallen and joined in the fight. I took down a few pirates until I was grabbed.

I kicked and hit and squirmed every way that I could until i was brought to the middle of it all. When I was released, I turned around and there was Hook. He had his sword right under my chin, pointing at my throat. Everyone could see it.

"So, this is the girl. The girl you brought here to replace your precious Wendy," he smiled deviously.

I could see Peter out of the corner of my eye. He looked guilty and vulnerable. "Peter, it's okay. Don't look so sad," I said.

"Hook! You're wrong. I didn't bring Allie here to replace Wendy. I brought her here so she could have fun and be a kid. Growing up is a terrible thing to do. That's why you're so miserable," Peter said, pulling out his knife. "Now if you want to fight, fight me." He looked determined.

Hook dropped his sword from under my chin and turned to Peter, pointing the sword at him instead. I stepped back, not wanting to get into the middle of the fight between them.

Their weapons clashed just as the last ray of sunlight sank below the horizon. All you could hear was the 'clank' of the metal hitting each other in the darkness.

OH MY GOSH. It's been so long since I updated this.

I always thought to update it when I was at school but soon forgot when I got home.

I apologize if it isn't that good of a chapter.

School just started back after two weeks of Winter Break.

Also, how was your Winter Break? What did you get for Christmas? What did you do for New Years?

Also, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
