Peter and Wendy [another version]

15. Dinner time

Peter and Wendy arrived at the Indians camp just before sundown. Peter were carrying the small princess in his arms but let her down as soon as they hit the ground. They were surrounded by Indians with their bows and arrows ready to fire. The chief watched them from his wooden thrown, one hand in the air to signal for them to hold their fires. TigerLilly tried to take a step in her fathers direction but Peter were quick to lay a hand on her shoulder, holding her in place, and at the same time grabbing Wendy's hand and pulling her closer. He knew that the Indian chief wouldn't hesitate to let his soldiers fire if TigerLilly was out of the clear.

But before we can continue let me make one thing clear, the Indians wasn't savages. For you it might seem rushed and uncivilised, but it was the order all the Neverland inhabitants lived after. TigerLilly's father knew the consequences of not acting fast enough, that's how they'd lost their queen. His wife. TigerLilly would always be his first priority.

"Lower your weapons" TigerLilly ordered, and Wendy was surprised by how strong and confident she sounded. This was the first time Wendy realised how old she must have been, a full grown woman in the body of a small girl.

Peter squeezed her hand and she moved closer, but the Indians gave no sign of moving.

"Chief" Peter greeted, bowing slightly before the man on the thrown "I bring before you your daughter, and I wish to trade her for my friends"

"You stole my daughter, I won't simply let you get away with that" The chief spoke, his voice booming through the camp area "I will however offer you dinner"

A big fire came a life and Wensy spun around to see the lost boys tied up around it. The cauldron which hung above it was enough to fit five small boys in.

"No" Wendy cried out but TigerLilly was faster, she slapped her hand over Wendy's mouth and took a step forward.

"Father, we are no cannibals" she said with a steady voice "let them go"

"Well I wasn't planning on actually eating them, that would be disgusting"

"Let them go"

"Okay fine, I was just trying to scare them a little" The chief sighted before gesturing to one of his men to cut the boys loose.

TigerLilly gave him a distasteful look but couldn't help but smile a little, she was used to her fathers usual dramatic flare.

"I must however thank you for saving my daughter" The chief said. "A small humming bird told me you saved her from mr. Hook"

"It was my pleasure sir" Peter answered with a brilliant smile, he also was used to the great mans wicked humour.

Wendy stared at the Indian chief in amazement, she thought something as talking to animals would be impossible but Neverland never stopped surprising her.

"Let me offer you dinner to show my gratitude" the great Indian chief said "no boys, I swear"
