Pov Emily

''Aii take this Em!'' Jack points his sword at me with a childish grin. I block his attack with my own sword. ''Ha! You missed.'' We run around, jumping on our beds, hiding behind closets and jump on each other so now and then. Until I have Jack cornered against the wall. ''Hehe looks like you have nowhere to go captain.'' Jack looks around for an escape but he's stuck. ''Any last words before you go?'' He shakes his head. ''No, lets get this over with.'' He dramatically lifts his chin in the air. Then we hear our Mother yell from the hallway. ''Come on sweeties you need to go to bed!'' An evil grin appears on my face. ''Looks like we have to finish it tomorrow.'' And I pull my sword back and lay it back in the toy-box, Jack does the same. We quickly put on our pajamas and get into our beds. Just in time because mother came in a few seconds later. ''Good to see that you are in bed, did you brush your teeth?'' ''Yes mom.'' We lie. I look at Jack who has a big smile on his face, I shake my head what a good liar is he. Mom chuckles. ''Alright then, goodnight honey.'' She gives me a kiss on my forehead. ''Goodnight mom.'' She then walks over to Jack and gives him a goodnight kiss as well.'' ''Can you tell us a story mom?'' Jack asks. I groan I want to sleep! Mom notice this but agrees and begins to tell the story of the famous Peter Pan. She always told me this when I was a little kid, it was my favorite story of them all. Jack already sat on mother her lap so I decide to join in. ''And his name was Peter Pan, also known as the boy who never wanted to grow up. He lived on a isle called Neverland but he wasn't alone, he lived there together with the lost boys and his fairy Tinkerbell.'' ''Who are the lost boys mommy?'' Mom looks at me and chuckles. ''The lost boys are little kids like you who go on amazing adventures with Peter.'' ''Ohh like what?'' ''They help him fight against the mean pirates and there leader Captain Hook!'' ''Yeah like this.'' And I jump on Jack and start to tickle him. ''Hahahah Emily stop!!'' I laugh and continue. I see mom looking at the clock, it's already 11:00 pm I know that's late for an 10 year old but it's vacation. ''Alright kids go to bed, you need to sleep.'' I stop tickling Jack and he pouts. ''Aww but mommy I wanna hear the rest of the story.'' ''Tomorrow baby, alright?'' ''hmm alright then.'' Mom tucks Jack in. ''Sleep tight honey.'' Jack smiles. ''Goodnight mommy.'' I walk back to my bed and pull the covers over my shoulders. ''Goodnight mom.'' ''Night honey.'' Then she turns out the light and we fall asleep.

...

I wake up from the sunlight shining trough our window. I take a look at the clock 9:00 am I sigh and get out of bed. After I showered I go downstairs and see mom already preparing breakfast for us and dad reading the newspaper. ''Goodmorning mom can I help you with anything?'' She looks up and a sweet smile came on her face. "Goodmorning Emily, uh you can wake your brother up if you like." I nod, I thought he was already downstairs but aparently not. I walk into our room and see Jack sleeping peacefully. But not for long hehe. I silently grab a sword and walk over to his bed. I poke him a little until he begins to wake up. Then I hold the sword against his troath. "Ready for round two little brother?" He frowns. ''Well give me my sword and we will see what happens.'' I chuckle and hand him his sword. He immediately jumps out of bed and points his sword at me. ''Today I am going to win.'' I shrug my shoulders. ''In you dreams.'' He laughs and we begin to fight. He jumps from his bed and tries to hit me but I step back and block his attack. Then mom walks in and she doesn't look very happy. ''Emily I told you to wake your brother up not to play pirate again.'' ''Sorry mom but, hey he is awake like you asked me to.'' She chuckles. ''Come on breakfast is ready.'' We lay our swords away and go downstairs. ''Goodmorning father.'' ''Goodmorning kids.'' We all take a seat at the table and begin to eat. ''So Emily did you already have a future husband in mind? Because you're almost 17 and you know you have to learn how to be a woman from then.'' I groan. ''No dad I don't and why so early I want to become a writer and go on adventures!'' ''Because you are almost a grown woman and woman stay home with the kids, they don't go on adventures! Your mother and I discussed this and we think that it's better for you if you get your own room and spend less time with Jack and more with your mother and aunt.'' My eyes go wide. ''You want me to do what!!'' Jack begins to get tears in his eyes. ''Jack go to your room I will check on you later okay?'' I say in a soft tone. He nods and goes to his room. ''Emily this the best for you both and if you want it or not sooner or later you need to grow up.'' Even mom agrees with this! ''But mom!'' ''Listen Emily you need to except this! Tomorrow your aunt will come here and she will teach you how to be a woman.'' ''Dad did you even listen to what I said! I DON'T WANT TO GROW UP!'' I'm so done with this. I stand up and go to my room. When I run into the room I see Jack crying softly. I walk up to him. ''Hey Jack it's alright.'' He hugs me tight and begins to cry harder. ''Are you going to spend less time with me?'' ''Ow no of course not I'm not going to let that happen, I will always be your big sister and hey we can still play pirate no matter how old I am.'' He laughs. ''Is that a smile hm?'' Jack begins to laugh more. ''Maybe.'' I laugh. ''See that wasn't so bad.'' He just snuggles against me. ''Can you tell me the story of Peter Pan again?'' ''Of course, where was I?'' ''The pirates and Captain Hook!'' ''Oh yeah that's right. Captain Hook hated Peter Pan because he always ruined his plans.'' ''Oh that's mean!'' I chuckle. ''Yes indeed. But Peter is to strong for captain Hook, specially when the lost boys help him.'' He laughs. ''Of course they are. Where do the lost boys come from?'' ''They come from all over the world, Peter picks them up when they don't have a home or if they don't want to grow up. He gives them a new home.'' ''Woww that's so cool!'' I laugh. ''Yeah it is.'' ''Do you think Peter Pan is real?'' ''Well I don't know but I do know that every night he flies over London to look for new children so maybe if your lucky he will take you to Neverland!'' Jack's eyes open wide. ''You think so! Can we leave the window open tonight, maybe he will visit us!!'' ''Yeah sure Jack.'' ''Yayy.'' ''Jack can you come downstairs for a moment!'' I hear mom yell from the stairs. ''Yes mommy!!'' ''Good luck.'' I whisper and he chuckles before he closes the door and goes downstairs.
