Peter and Wendy climbed onto the deck. The Jolly Roger had righted itself somewhat but was still listing. The steamship’s long hull had just finished passing; its stern loomed high above, bearing the name Lucy.

Peter looked forward on the deck of the Jolly Roger. Hook, Smee, and the rest of the pirates were regaining their footing, turning to watch the ship that had almost crushed them.

And then Hook saw Peter.

For a moment he stood utterly still, staring.

“You!” he shouted. “You’re dead. I killed you.”

“He don’t look very dead to me, Cap’n,” said Smee.

Hook ignored Smee, keeping his glittering black eyes on Peter. Had the boy’s ghost come back to haunt him? But no: he appeared perfectly real. Hook started walking aft.

“I killed you once, boy,” he said. “And I will kill you again.”

“Peter,” said Wendy. “Fly away. Now.”

Yes, said Tink, in a rare moment of agreement. Fly.

Peter wiped some blood from his eyes, trying to force his woozy brain to think.

“Peter, he’ll kill you!” said Wendy. “Fly!”

Hook was only yards away, his razor-sharp hook held high.

“Wendy,” said Peter. “Hang on.”

She started to speak, but her words became a scream when Peter reached behind her, grunted, and picked her up.

“NO!” screamed Wendy.

NO! chimed Tink.

“NO!” bellowed Hook.

Ignoring them all, Peter turned, took two staggering steps, and with a desperate effort leaped with Wendy over the stern rail of the ship, eluding by inches the furious arc of the pirate captain’s lunging hook.
