ome,” said Peter to the innisfay. “Show me the island and all its many wonders!”

“No!” Tigerlilja shouted. “We’re going back! Right now!”

She let go of her thumb and grabbed the wrist of his hand that now held the sword, smearing his skin with her blood in the process. He looked down at it, apparently unconcerned, and a strange expression flitted across his face, disappearing just as quickly.

The tiny creature that was now Peter’s family flew up at her again, but Tigerlilja tried to snatch her out of the air with her free hand and the creature shot away.

“If you bite me again, I swear on Thor’s hammer I will crush the life out of you!”

Peter’s face darkened at that, and he took a step toward her, baring his fangs, but Tigerlilja was too angry to let go.

“Do not threaten my family,” he snarled.

“Then don’t threaten mine!” Tigerlilja snapped back. “That was my brother on the dock! My whole family is fighting for their lives while we stand here talking! I could lose them all! Send me back!”

She leaned toward him and screamed the final words into his face, overcome with her growing sense of desperation. Peter’s eyes widened, and he tried to step away from her in surprise. But Tigerlilja gripped his wrist even harder.

“Lose them,” Peter whispered, the words barely loud enough for her to hear. That look crossed his face again—a brief window onto stunned devastation and unspeakable loss. But then, just as quickly, it disappeared.

“A battle would be a grand adventure!” he announced with a grin. “I have decided to help you!”

“What?” Tigerlilja stared at him, confused.

“With your battle, of course! We must go at once!”

He looked around for the little creature and found her hovering behind his head, where she had been glaring at Tigerlilja over the top of his left ear.

“You,” he said. “Family. What is your name?”

She answered in bells and chimes.

“Why, that’s a lovely name!” Peter said, and the creature's hair took on a new sparkle. He turned back to Tigerlilja. “You may call her Tinker Bell, since you can’t speak like the innisfay.”

“Are you serious? It doesn’t matter what her name is. Stop wasting time and tell her to take me back home.”

“That isn’t a very nice way to ask,” Peter told her.

“Now!” Tigerlilja shouted.

Peter narrowed his eyes at her but then turned his attention back to Tinker Bell. “Tinker Bell, my beloved family.” He bowed to the tiny creature, and Tigerlilja was finally forced to let go of his wrist. She placed her hands on her hips, mindless of the blood, and glared at them both.

“Would you be so kind,” he continued, “as to accompany me on an epic adventure to save the family of…”

He turned back to Tigerlilja. “You still haven’t told me your name.”

“Tigerlilja,” she snapped.

“To save the family of Tigerlilja?” he finished.

Tinker Bell turned bright red and chittered away in angry, discordant chimes.

“Well, if you don’t like her, and she wants to leave anyway,” Peter suggested, “this would
