Neverland

Chapter Seven

CHAPTER SEVEN

        "And your not going home. Not now, not ever",  Peter Pan's words are ringing in Wendy's ears. We can never leave Neverland?, Wendy looked at Peter Pan. He was still smiling as if nothing was wrong. Maybe I misheard him. You couldn't have Peter Pan was right in front of me, but why doesn't he want us to leave? Wendy pondered. I will never be able to see my mother and father. I will never see London again, Wendy said feeling much more lonely and sad than when she made the wish of never wanting to grow up. I wish I could take it back, Wendy thought. Then she quickly eyed Peter Pan. What if he heard me? I mean he heard John when he made a wish, and he heard me first wish when I was in London. Why wouldn't Peter Pan hear this wish too? Wendy didn't realize that she was holding her breathe with her eyes still trained on Peter Pan. Peter wasn't moving different he didn't look different. Wendy let a long breath out and took a slow breath in. 

        "We're almost there!", Peter Pan shouted from the front of the pack of boys and Wendy. Peter Pan looked over his shoulder at Wendy. He shook his head in disapproval, and marched onward. Does that mean that he knows? Wendy began to panic. No I can't get upset by this. I have to look brave for my siblings. Wendy looked far ahead at little John and Micheal leading the pack with Peter Pan. Standing here won't help me any Wendy thought. She began to move towards her siblings.  I have to keep them protected  from whatever Peter Pan has in plan for them, Wendy thought. 

        "Come on, Wendy!", John shouted. Wendy jogged to catch up with John and Micheal. John still had a scared look on his face. It looks like John doesn't trust Peter Pan anymore, Wendy thought. By the time Wendy caught up with her brothers she was panting. "Are we almost there?", John whined, looking up at Peter Pan.  

        "I put a mark in a tree somewhere here. Oh here it it."- he pointed to a tree with a star carved into it. "Yes we are closer than we were", Peter Pan said, clearing up nothing. Of course we would be closer!! We walked from their home to the middle of nowhere, Wendy thought angrily.  What if he's trying to get us confused? So that the Lost Boys and him can ditch us here, Wendy grabbed John and Micheal's hands. If they were going to get lost she didn't want her to be away from her brothers. Micheal gave Wendy a annoyed look, rolled his eyes, then he checked to see if anyone saw Wendy hold his hand. Micheal then marched side by side with Peter Pan. John just squeezed Wendy's hand tightly. He was obviously still very scared. 

        "Wendy, may I have a word with you?", Peter Pan asked.  What if he somehow heard me?, Wendy thought. Wendy took a deep breathe, and nodded. Peter Pan walked away from the Lost Boys, and John and Micheal. He went towards the tree that had the carved star on it. Wendy followed slowly. "Wendy, I hope you know that you won't be able to leave", Peter Pan started. 

        "Yes, I know Peter", Wendy quickly replied. Wendy nervously looked at the waiting Lost Boys talking to John and Micheal. 

        "Well if you know then why did you wish that you could take back your 'not wanting to grow up' wish?", Peter Pan said carelessly. Wendy's faced must have shown shock because Peter Pan said " Yea, I do know about the wishes being made on my island. It's one of the advantages", Peter Pan looked at Lost Boys. Peter Pan got closer to Wendy. "You must understand that I will not let you leave. You will be staying here. If you try to escape you will fail, because Peter Pan never fails", Peter Pan whispered with a smirk. "So don't get any ideas", he said slightly louder. 

        "Yes, Peter", Wendy replied, holding back tears. Face it, I will never see my parents, but I will see my brothers. No matter what I have to protect them, Wendy thought. She trudged towards the Lost Boys, she didn't even notice that Peter Pan had already left.
