"Ha! I've done it!" she squeals jolting the loose boards of the deck. I feel a pair of swift and light feet land on the deck, I smile inwardly at this. "She's not dead." he says darkly. I feel Wendy turn on her heel to face Peter. "This is coming from the boy who didn't know what a kiss was." Wendy says. I open my eyes with her back to me and start to rise. Peter's face has clouded over in darkness, not like his Shadow but a scary kind of dark. A single tear runs down his soot covered face as he mumbles something under his breath. "I really do think that you wouldn't know death if it knocked on your door." she laughs. He mumbles something louder under his breath. "What was that? I don't think I heard what you said." she snaps. "I said, I would've felt it." Wendy bursts out laughing. Between gasps of air she says, "You can't like HER, s-she's your enemy's daughter!" she whips around to point at me. I swear I’ve never hit the deck that fast in my life. Peter's mouth curves up a little as he looks past her at me, "Last time I checked you didn't have a daughter." His eyes refocus to her as Wendy's laugh stops abruptly. "Excuse me?" she raises her voice an octave, that's when I take my cue. I move my arm from around the badly aimed sword ripping the fabric of my jacket. I hear her before I see her. Tink. I smile and sprint holding my arm close to me as I whisper my instructions to her. I pick up a dagger from the deck as I run to the Lost Boys tied around the Main Mast. I cut them loose and whisper my instructions to them. I speed to a mast and start climbing just as the ship starts to rise. I stop to hold on tight to the mast as we begin smooth sailing. While I climb I hear Peter and Wendy's argument:

"I don't think I heard you correctly." she says.

"Well, I think I was speaking clearly." He retorts.

"You see Wendy, nobody wants you here." I say from behind Peter on the helm casually walking fingers across the bridge of the ship, the wind whipping through my hair as the ship catches wind. Smiling evilly from my post I say, "You've reached the end of the plank, Wendy, and now it's time for you to fall." She opens and closes her mouth like a fish in shock. “You thought I was dead didn’t you?” I say narrowing my eyes. “You thought you could outsmart me.” I walk down the stairs. She retreats the closer I get to her occasionally bumping a Lost Boy that is doing exactly what I instructed. “You thought you could rule Neverland.” I approach her now only a few steps away my eyes never leaving hers. “Well, you thought wrong. And like most villains you. Fell. Short.” And I push her.
