Peter Pan: A Faerie Tale Part 3
“John! Michael! There’s a boy here who is going to teach us how to fly!” Wendy said mischievously, knowing that would wake them.
“Then I shall get up at once.” John said, not moving a muscle. Michael hadn’t seemed to hear her; he still slept soundly.
Wendy stomped her foot. “Get up right now! You were the ones who wanted proof, well I found it.”
“Oh very well.” John sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. “So where is this boy you were talking about?”
Wendy looked around ready to point Peter out and had to look again. No one was in the nursery except for her and her brothers. “He was right there.” She pointed to the chair their mother liked to sit in.
“Well I think you made it up so you didn’t have to admit you were wrong.”
Meanwhile, in a quite different home under the ground…
“Peter where did you go? We were worried.” Nibs said reproachfully as he watched Peter hurriedly changing clothes after a bath.
“I know, I’m sorry Nibs, but I don’t have time to explain right now. She’s going to be thinking she dreamed me up if I don’t get back fast. Have you seen Tink? I need him.”
“She who?” Nibs crossed his arms and gave Peter a Look that told him he wasn’t leaving till he got a good answer.
Sighing, Peter ran a hand through his hair. “I met a child in the world Above. She might be able to help us, all I have to do is prove we exist.” He grinned wryly at his friend.
“Which is why you need Tink, of course. Why didn’t I guess that in the first place. We’re in the middle of a WAR here if you hadn’t noticed Peter. This is no time to be bringing children in, it could be more than dangerous; it could be deadly.”
“I know… But I can’t help thinking of what Mother said, ‘look to the world above’, what if this girl and her brothers could think of something we can’t? I won’t take them into trouble needlessly, you know that. Besides, they have yet to agree. We’ll need all the help we can get.” He walked out of the room determinedly.
“Tink is in the same place he always is lately, mending what he can.”
Ready to burst into tears, Wendy sits on her bed. “I did NOT dream it! He was real. I don’t know where he went—“
“To get some proof of course. You didn’t think I’d really just vanish on you, did you Wendy?” Peter stepped out of the shadows of the balcony, another smaller form following him as all three children turned towards him.
“John, Michael.” He nodded respectfully towards them. “I am Peter Pan, and this... is Tink.” Moving up beside him was a boy a little shorter than Wendy, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and…the boys rubbed their eyes, wings? Tink pulled faces at them and wandered off to aro around the room as Peter talked, sometimes walking, sometimes flying.
“Tink is obviously a fairy. Do you know anything about faeries?” Peter asked the children. Tink rolled his eyes in mock disgust at the play on words. The children of course would not be able to know what Peter really meant when he said the word ‘fairy’. Not yet anyhow…
“I do! When the first baby laughed the first time it broke into pieces and they all went skipping about and those were faeries.” Michael said quickly. Tink made a rude noise.
“Well, that’s not quite right but we’ll get into that another time. There used to be a faerie for every child, but children think they know so much these days they’ve stopped believing. If you disbelieve in something enough, it’s possible to make it disappear. Usually.” Peter’s voice was sad. “Though some of the lucky ones were able to escape to my world, quite a lot of creatures are no more.” Tink settled down at Pet fee feet idly looking at his nails. “So, do you believe?” The siblings looked at each other then nodded vigorously. “Good!”
“Peter? You said there was something we could do to help? What is it?”
“You see Wendy, there are good creatures like Faeries, and Unicorns, bad creatures like Goblins, and Boggarts, and ones who can go either way, like Dragons and Elves. They’re separated into two Courts, the Seelie and the Unseelie. Usually we are able to thwart them, not immediately, but eventually. This time however, they have found a way to turn our magic against us. We need to find out how to work around that, and to do that, we must learn new magics. We’ve been apart from humans so long; your magic and ours are different. Would you be willing to teach us your magic?”
“Wait, are you saying you aren’t human?” John looked at Peter skeptically. “You LOOK human to me.”
For answer, Peter moved close enough for them to see his ears. They were delicately pointed at the tips, and his eyes were slit-pupiled like a cats. “I am not mortal John, I never have been. I am an Elf.”
Wendy was still thinking about what Peter had said earlier. “That’s perfectly awful Peter! But we can’t do magic. How could we teach you?”
“We just need the stories of magic Wendy, you don’t even need to go anywhere, just be willing to write down all the stories you know, we’ll see what we can learn from that.”
“I know such lots of stories Peter, it would take too long to write them down. It would be far easier to tell them to you.”
He shook his head. “I might not re-tell them correctly Wendy, we only have a very short chance with this.”
She looked at her brothers, asking a silent question. Slowly they nodded. “Then take us with you Peter. We shall tell them ourselves, it will be faster that way and more people can hear them than read them.”
“Let us go at once! Before mother and father wake.” John added.
