The pirates had fired Long Tom at them . The roar of it echoed through the mountains , and the echoes seemed to cry savagely , `` Where are they , where are they , where are they ? '' Thus sharply did the terrified three learn the difference between an island of make-believe and the same island come true . When at last the heavens were steady again , John and Michael found themselves alone in the darkness . John was treading the air mechanically , and Michael without knowing how to float was floating . `` Are you shot ? '' John whispered tremulously . `` I have n't tried -LSB- myself out -RSB- yet , '' Michael whispered back . We know now that no one had been hit . Peter , however , had been carried by the wind of the shot far out to sea , while Wendy was blown upwards with no companion but Tinker Bell . It would have been well for Wendy if at that moment she had dropped the hat . I do n't know whether the idea came suddenly to Tink , or whether she had planned it on the way , but she at once popped out of the hat and began to lure Wendy to her destruction . Tink was not all bad ; or , rather , she was all bad just now , but , on the other hand , sometimes she was all good . Fairies have to be one thing or the other , because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time . They are , however , allowed to change , only it must be a complete change . At present she was full of jealousy of Wendy . What she said in her lovely tinkle Wendy could not of course understand , and I believe some of it was bad words , but it sounded kind , and she flew back and forward , plainly meaning `` Follow me , and all will be well . '' What else could poor Wendy do ? She called to Peter and John and Michael , and got only mocking echoes in reply . She did not yet know that Tink hated her with the fierce hatred of a very woman .
And so , bewildered , and now staggering in her flight , she followed XXXXX to her doom .
