Hook's Catch

To Grow Up...?

Wendy's POV

I felt a bit weird when the unknown dust fell over me. I held my head a bit and then I noticed that I was growing taller, but also a few other changes were happening. My breasts grew as well and I knew I was looking more mature. Did this dust just let me grow up in a few seconds? The nightgown I was wearing was really small, not to mention very tight. I blushed lightly because I felt exposed. I noticed James was looking at me and that made me even less at ease. The worst thing was when Peter was looking at me. "W-Wendy..?" He looked really shocked. "Y-you... You have grown up..!" He said and backed off a little. Then he looked at James. "You! What have you done to her?!" He yelled and James rolled his eyes. "I didn't do anything, that dust did." James told him. Why am I calling him James..? I would normally say Hook, just like everyone else.

Peter kept yelling at James and it was getting on my nerves. "Stop it Peter..!" I told him and he looked shocked. "But Wendy..! You're an adult..! T-that's going to ruin everything..!" He said and that made me crack even more. So being an adult would make him really hate me...? My eyes were getting watery and I turned my back to him, putting my hands in front of my face. I could feel my body shaking when the tears rolled down. "You ignorant boy... You've hurt her enough.." I heard James say. "Hurt her? I've never hurt her..!" "You did, by hurting her feelings." Suddenly strong arms were wrapped around me. "What are you doing Hook?!" I stiffened a bit, knowing that James had pulled me close. "Being something you cannot be Pan." He said and I slowly pulled my hands away from my face, looking up at the captain. It all became a little too much for me and before I knew it I blacked out.

I groaned when I woke up again and didn't dare to open my eyes. I'm not even sure where I am. I didn't feel very exposed anymore. I suddenly felt a hand on my forehead. "She still has a fever.." I heard a familiar voice say. I slowly opened my eyes, although not fully. I noticed some cool blue eyes were looking quite worried at me. I knew it was James although it took me a while to realize it. I quickly sat up, but I was pulled down again. "You shouldn't get up yet. You've a fever." James mumbled and then I sighed. "Where am I? What happened?" I asked him, hearing my voice became less child like. He frowned lightly. "That dust... It made you grow up... And you're on the ship, because Pan was too afraid to take you with him." I blinked and then I tried to sit up again. The old nightgown was a bit too tight for my liking and I frowned a bit when I looked at it. "That probably doesn't feel comfortable." He said and then he pointed to a chair. On the chair was a new gown.... Well more like a really nice red dress. I wondered why Hook would own something like that. "Thank you." I told when I slowly stood up.

I was feeling a bit dizzy when I walked over to the chair, so James held me up a little when he saw me swaying a bit. There was also nightgown on the same chair. "You should put on that one... You're definitely not up for anything else yet." He said, meaning he wanted... No... He demanded me to stay in bed. He led me back to the bed and then he handed me the nightgown. He smirked lightly when he left the room, leaving me on my own, probably to let me put on the nightgown and rest some more. I got out of the tight nightgown and put on the new one. I could tell it was mostly in James' style because the dress and the nightgown were red. It also made me wonder why he would even have women clothes on his ship. I suppose there used to be some women on the ship, perhaps James' old lover or something like that.

I lied down on the bed again and then I sighed softly. The thing happened what I didn't want to happen. I've grown up... I'm the adult I didn't want to become. Peter, he would never accept me as a grown up. He's going to hate me for it. He's simply an ignorant boy. I'm probably like twenty-three years old now. I'm not feeling old or anything, but I understand I'm not simply a teen anymore. I wondered if my opinions about things had changed as well or only my body had changed while my mind stayed the same. I pulled the covers over my body and closed my eyes. Maybe I just need to sleep... Perhaps this is only temporarily. It took me a little while, but I fell into a deep sleep.
