Chapter Fourteen

“I tell you, Princess Tiger Lily. If the Great Peter Pan were in trouble, the spirit of the Never Bird would tell us.”

Tiger Lily turned to Great Big Little Panther and her gaze narrowed. “Why does he not visit, then?”

Panther, as he was called for short, was a hunter in the Picadilly tribe, and one of Tiger Lily’s two best friends. He was a giant of a boy, nearly popping out of the extra-large leathers that had been sewn for him. But he was good with a bow and arrow and, despite his size, his step was as light as that of a cat’s. And the thing that Tiger Lily valued in him the most was his honesty.

Her other best friend was Lean Wolf, an opposite to Panther in every way except for his honesty. Lean Wolf was true to his name, tall and thin as a reed. He was no good with a bow, as Panther was, but luckily for him, he was very good at hand-to-hand combat and was very sneaky. What Panther and Tiger Lily could not take care of from a distance, Lean Wolf could finish off up close.

Now, Lean Wolf knelt to join Tiger Lily, who had been sitting at the center of her Teepee, gathering arrows into her quiver. When they were eye to eye, he addressed her softly.

“Princess, the Great Peter Pan made a promise to see to the welfare of the Lost Boys. We know this. That is why he does not come.”

“And yet the sun rises. It would not rise if Peter had not returned.” Tiger Lily told him. She stood then, grasping her bow in one hand as she did. Lean Wolf rose with her and respectfully took a step back.

“My father has given us permission to hunt,” Tiger Lily told them both. “We will also find Peter Pan,” she added. “And we will leave at once.”

“Tink!” Peter sat up in bed, his eyes flying open, his arms flailing out at either side.

Tinkerbell was beside him at once. “It’s okay, Peter! I’m here! Calm down; you were dreaming.”

“Tink, he has her! He has Wendy and her brothers! We have to go after him!” Peter looked around himself, his expression wild. Then he looked down and noticed the bandage around his wrist. He shoved his covers aside. There was another around his knee… And around his ribs. All he wore was a pair of black shorts and those bandages.

“What happened, Tink?” he asked softly.

“Well, Peter…” Tinkerbell fidgeted, biting her lip. “You sort of… fell.”

Peter’s brow furrowed as it began to come back to him. Everything. From his first meeting with John and then Wendy – to Wendy falling onto Hook’s ship and then Hook kicking Peter off of it.

“I fell,” Peter whispered. “I couldn’t fly, Tink.”

“He took your happy thoughts, Peter,” Tinkerbell explained.

From behind Tinkerbell, another voice said, “But you’ll get them back, Peter.”

Peter looked over Tinkerbell’s shoulder to find a very large teenage boy standing against the wall, his hands nervously shoved into the front pockets of his jeans.
