"he escaped? What do you mean?" I ask, as we all ran to his tent to see that he has packed certain things.
"He's trying to get out of neverland." Milo responds, picking up a map that Devin left behind.
"Well we have to catch up to him." I suggested, but they all seemed conflicted, "what is wrong with you guys?!"
"He made his choice." Peter shrugs, walking out of the tent to watch the others dance.
"How can you say that?" I ask, looking at him in disbelief, "he's our family."
"So?"
"We don't abandon family."
"He abandoned us first." He retorted, I knew I lost this one. I didn't know how to change their mind.
"Fine, I'll go after him by myself." I say, snatching the map away from Milo and taking it for myself.
"You're going to die out there." Peter stands in front of me, making me roll my eyes and push him aside.
"I don't care." I say back, as I tried my best to read this, but I knew Peter was right.
"It's this way." Milo decides to help me, grabbing my hand and leading me away from Peter and Felix.
We didn't say a word to each other. It was awkward silence. I knew Milo wanted to say something but he just couldn't.
I on the other hand was devoted to searching for Devin. He promised me he wouldn't do this... What made him change his mind.
"So... You and Peter." Milo brings it up, making me feel uncomfortable.
"What about it?"
"Stop playing stupid. You know what I'm talking about."
"I really don't! I have no idea what people are talking about half the time!" I groaned, as I hit myself with a branch.
"Wendy, why don't you just admit it."
"Admit what?"
"That you're in love with Peter! You love everything about him and his stupid smirk."
"I don't know what your talking about. Can't we focus on finding Devin and deal with this later." I tell him, as I held onto the necklace that Devin gave me. It resembles hope and peace... I know I'll find him.
"Fine sure. Go ahead and just bury your feelings."
"I'm not."
"Sure.. I guess you and Peter have something in common." He retorts, making me glare at him, "look I didn't mean that."
"What did you mean?"
"I'm sorry for everything.."
"What are you talking about?" I ask, my voice shielding the annoyance, but I turn to look at him.
"I told you to go after Devin because I didn't want you to get hurt by Peter."
"Milo, I like Devin. You didn't do anything."
"Yeah, I did. Wendy... You like Peter. We all know you do-"
He was cut off. Milo quickly fell to the ground, making me run towards him. He was out cold. What the heck is going on?
My vision was getting blurry and I could no longer see Milo.
"You'll be okay." I heard a voice say, a tiny small glow appeared in front of me...
The last thing I could think of was... Peter...
Felix's pov:::
"Are you gonna go after her?" I ask Peter who just watches Wendy and Milo enter the darkness.
"No." Peter says, going back to his own tent and leaving me out here alone.
"You can't be serious." I say, following him into the tent only to see him sharpening his knife.
"I'm not the good guy remember." Peter reminds me, not looking at me. Everyone knew he was a villain, but in Wendy eyes he was a hero. He just has trouble seeing that.
"Come on, Peter. Be the better man." I tell him, only to see his expression turn cold and dark, "she needs you."
"No she doesn't."
"Peter, we both know that she--"
"No." He cuts me off, not wanting to hear anything else I have to say, "I screwed it up."
"There's still redemption, Peter. It's real and it's possible." I grab one of Peter's knives, "are you with me or not?"
He just stares at me and looks conflicted, "fine."
I smile, knowing Wendy would be the only reason he would go out there again.
We both know where Devin is heading and that's towards Captain Hook. He was the only option that Devin has to escape here.
But I couldn't help remember the day I saw in Peter's eyes when he fell in love with Wendy.
"All this and you're happy?" Wendy asks Peter who showed her around the camp.
"Not until I find the heart of the truest believer." Peter responds, looking at me because we both knew exactly who that was.
"To save Neverland, right?" Wendy asks, the both of us just nod but she looks confused, "so say you save Neverland, and you get more lost boys and you rule everything here. You'll be happy?"
"Yeah, I guess." Peter says, not entirely sure what Wendy was getting at.
"Can't there by something to make you happy now?" She asks him, but he stood there looking at her eyes.
"What about you? Huh?" Peter asks, deflecting the question only to make Wendy smile.
"Well I'm happy now. You guys saved me and I got what i wanted... A family." She giggled, smiling at Peter's reaction who just stared at her.
"What are you thinking about?" Peter asks me, interrupting the memory.
"You and Wendy would be adorable ya know." I commented, only to see Peter roll his eyes, "you should Tell her."
"Tell her what?"
"The thing you've been keeping a secret, Peter." I said, seeing that he didn't want to think about it right now.
"Look, Peter, I'm just trying to help, but anyone half awake can see how much you care about that girl."
"She's in love with someone else." He says, his voice revealing how broken he was without her.
"Cone on, Peter. We both know-"
"Let's just find Devin and bring him back." He Changes the subject rather quickly.
I watch as he traced Devin's footprints, but we couldn't find Wendys' or Milos'. I didn't want to bring it up either, knowing it would hurt Peter.
I remember the day Devin and Wendy were out together... Devin took Wendy out to the butterfly garden.
The place Peter took Wendy, but of course she doesn't remember.
I knew how much that hurt Peter, but he just won't show it. We both know that caring makes you weak.
"Look there's hooks' ship." Peter points out, I looked ahead seeing his minions pack some stuff.
I began to look everywhere for Devin who was nowhere to be seen until peter hits me on the shoulder, pointing ahead.
There stood Devin with his backpack besides Captain Hook who were talking about something.
"This is the plan." Peter begins, but I just shake my head, standing up and walking towards them. I can hear Peter groan in annoyance.
"Devin! What the heck are you doing?" I shout at him, only for him to stand in shook that we went after him.
"Why are you guys here? Where's Wendy?"
"Come on. You're coming with us." Peter grabs Devin forcing him to leave with us.
"No." Devin pushes him away and stares at us, "this is my choice."
"What did I say?" Peter retorts, rolling his eyes and smirking, "you won't be able to join us again, I hope you know that."
"You think I don't know that?" Devin asks, "this is what I want."
Peter just nods, ready to leave him here, but I grab him, looking at him in disbelief.
"What?" Peter asks, smirking, glad that Devin isn't coming along with us.
"We need him back. For Wendy..."
His expression turned softly, knowing I was right. We turned back to Devin, he had to come back to us.
"No I don't." Devin says, as if reading my mind, "Wendy's in trouble. We both know it." He says towards Peter, but I didn't know what was going on.
"You have to find her. And you need to let me go."
"Your not going to help us?" I ask, not sure if he was being serious. He was really going to leave her like that?
"I can't help her or find her. But you can." He says, looking at Peter, but I couldn't help but feel his expression turn sad and cold.
"What makes you so sure?" Peter questions, but he already knew the answer, he just wanted to hear it from him.
He sighs, "I don't think anyone has a connection like you guys."
"Pathetic." Hook comments, watching us talk about Wendy, "who is this girl anyway?"
"You tried to kiss her, Peter. Cause you actually care for that girl. We both know it."
Peter doesn't respond, not wanting to fight him today. He walks away, wanting to find her.
We entered the darkest part of the forest, going deeper and deeper. How can they go this far?
I couldn't help but see someone on the floor. Peter reacted first, flipping the body over and seeing that it was Milo.
"Milo. Come on. Wake up." I said, as I began to shake him.
He just groans, having trouble keeping his eyes open, "where am I?"
"Milo, where's Wendy? She could be in trouble." I question, but begins to point at the stars.
"I saw a light... Green light." He says, making me look at Peter. We both knew exactly who took her.
Wendy's pov::::::
"Where am I?" I asked myself out loud, but I didn't mean to. Around me I just saw tons of trees, I could be anywhere now.
"It's okay." A voice says, but I couldn't make out where it was coming from. I looked left to right, but there was nothing.
"Who are you?" I asked, hoping they would come out, but still there was nothing.
"My name's Tinkerbell." She responds, but I still saw nothing. She made me feel less safe and kind of annoyed.
"Where are you?" I ask.
"Here."
I turned around, my mouth being slightly open. She was another girl, I somehow didn't feel so alone, she was holding into a green lantern.
But she grabs my hand, making me slightly scared.
"You have to run." She tells me, making me tilt my head.
"What are you talking about?"
"It's not safe here... You must find the truth." She warns me, grabbing my hand and leading me into a cave.
"Where are we going?"
"Farther away from them. They won't find you over here." She says, I almost feel sorry for her. She looked lost and afraid.
"Peter Pan can help you." I tell her, hoping she would come back with me, but she shakes her head.
"I don't need help, you do."
"He can help you. He won't hurt you."
"I know he can't hurt me. No one can." She spats, making me feel uncomfortable and uneasy, "where are we going?"
"There's fairies up ahead. A place where Peter pan can't reach you. The fairies will help you." She explains, but I couldn't help but wonder why I need help.
"Wendy!" I heard my name being called, I was about to tell them I was here, but Tinkerbell holds my hand tight.
"Go to the fairies now!"
"Why do I need to go to the fairies?"
"They'll help you find your parents." She tells me, making me feel conflicted.
What if my parents are nobodies... That's exactly what Peter said... Why do I need to find them?
"Your family is waiting for you." She says, wanting me so badly to leave.
"I have my family here." I tell her, running back towards where I heard the voice that was calling me, "I'm here! I'm here!"
I finally made it out of the dark cave, seeing Peter, Felix, and Milo waiting for me.
Peter was the first one who saw me, running towards me and hugging me. I just giggled, glad someone was happy to find me.
"Where's Devin?" I ask, looking around, but there was no sign of him.
"I'm sorry Wendy... We were too late." Peter tells me, his voice was filled with regret and sadness.
"No, no. He has to be here.. maybe we can still catch up to him."
"Wendy, we saw him leave.. I'm sorry."
I began to feel tears drop from my cheek. He abandoned us. How can he do that? He has to come back, right?
"Wendy-"
I just put my hand up, not wanting to hear anything else. I miss him, but I also understand why he did it. He had hope, I can't blame him for that.
I would've gone out there if there was any chance I knew my family was alive... But it's fine. Because my family is right here.
"We should head back." I said, wiping the tears away. I'll find him still... I just need to know if he's okay.
The others didn't say a word. They walked ahead of me, not wanting to see how upset I looked or sad.
It was an emotion they haven't seen before. Something that was surprising and sad.
"I'll help you." Peter tells me, holding my hand tightly, I didn't mind it at all.
"Are you sure?" I ask, knowing how hurt he is right now about ya know, "you don't have to."
"I want to." He says, making me smile.
