Margaret was sitting in her chair near the fireplace when the chief of police came into the nursery. "Any sign of her?"asked Margaret
She had bags under her eyes from not sleeping after Annie left. The policeman sadly shook his head "no Mrs Darling "he sighed "but I promise we'll keep looking. We won't rest till your daughter is home safe and sound " Henry came into the nursery and looked sadly at his wife who was heartbroken over her daughter running away. "Please find her,my wife is worried sick over her"he said to the policeman. "Yes Henry we'll try our best "he promised and left the room with Henry. Margaret cried softly to herself,blaming herself for not standing up for her daughter. "I'm sorry Annie"she sobbed "I'm so sorry" she hadn't stopped crying since Annie left. She remained in her chair with the window open for a few days now. Charlie came into the room and looked sadly at his mother. "Mum it's late,you should go to bed and close the window it's cold in here"said Charlie and went to close the window but Margaret grabbed his arm and looked at him. "No I can't close the window "she whispered "it must always be kept open for her"
"If Annie does come back, Dad and Aunt Gertrude will punish her permanently "said Charlie. Henry was very angry at Annie for leaving that he and Aunt Gertrude vowed to severely punish her when she returned. "That's what he's been saying "said Charlie Margaret looked at her second oldest son "Charlie your father isn't going to punish Annie"she said reassuring him. "Then why did he say that then"he asked "he's just worried about her "said Margaret "night Mum" said Charlie leaving the room
"Night Charlie"said Margaret and she softly cried herself to sleep.

Tiger Lily was hunting nearby when Scraps ran to her and begins barking. Annie runs and grabs Scraps. "Hello"said Tiger Lily
"Sorry about Scraps,he just likes to runoff whenever he pleases "explains Annie then a look of realization comes to her face she realizes who's she's talking to. "Wait are you Tiger Lily?"she asks
The Indian princess smiles at the girl "yes I am and you must be Annie Darling"she said "I am how did you know?"she asked
"Peter Pan told me about you "she explains "really?"
"Yes how you ran away and how Hook captured you and brought you here"she said
"Well I made the right choice running away from home "said Annie happy with her decision Annie was about to ask Tiger Lily another question when they hear the voices of men and the smell of smoke. "Search the jungle till we find Peter Pan"barked Hook to his crew
"Quick hide"whispers Tiger Lily and Annie flies to hide in a tree. Scraps growls low but Annie grabs him and watches as the pirates capture Tiger Lily. "Princess Tiger Lily " said Hook to the girl. Scraps struggled to get out of Annie's clutches but Annie held on tightly as she watched the scene unfold. "We search in vain for Peter Pan's new home but luckily a girl who is his new Wendy was found around here along with an animal with her. Have you seen her"asked Hook getting close to her. Tiger Lily then speaks in a Native language that Annie doesn't understand and it ends with Tiger Lily spitting on his boot. Hook turned to Sally to translate. "She says sorry but no"translates Sally Hook then places his claw close to her chin. "My hook thinks you have princess "sneered Hook. Finally Scraps escapes from Annie's clutches and flies down and begins barking at the pirates. "Scraps no"whisper calls Annie not wanting the pirates to see her. Scraps then bites a pirate in the leg but Sally grabs him and restrains his snout. "Captain this dog was with Annie maybe he can lead us to Pan and his Lost Kids"suggests Sally. Then Hook thought of a plan "Sally I have an even greater idea "he said with a smile on his face. Meanwhile Annie flew away and headed back to the grove of trees to warn Peter "Peter"she cries running to him
"Annie what's wrong?"asks Peter "Scraps has been captured "she cries out of breath
"What?"asks Peter Annie explains what had happened when they met Tiger Lily and how the pirates had taken them prisoners. "Hook and the pirates captured Tiger Lily and Scraps but I don't know where they went"sobs Annie and Peter brings her in for a hug. "You don't but I know who can"said Peter with that strange smile.
