I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.
''I'll return with lunch as soon as possible. Jasper, look after your younger brother. Be good boys while I'm gone,'' Mrs. Hook said. She saw tears in her youngest son's eyes. Mrs. Hook began to smile at James. She embraced him for a few seconds.
''I'll be safe,'' Mrs. Hook said to James. She turned and departed.
''Mummy!'' James exclaimed. Worry filled his eyes. James turned to Jasper. He saw his smile.
''You will see our mother again,'' Jasper said. After embracing James, he released him. Jasper continued to smile. ''We can play that pirate game you like. You can be Captain James Hook this time. I'll be Midshipman Jasper Hook,'' he said.
James continued to worry about his mother.
''You can cuddle a certain plush crocodile,'' Jasper said. His eyes widened after James sobbed.
Several years later, a happy Captain James Hook played the harpsichord. His vocals varied with many songs. Captain Hook looked back before the current song ceased. He thought he saw his mother's spirit by the door. A frown replaced his smile at a snail's pace. His lip trembled.
Tears appeared in Captain Hook's eyes. They ran down his face as he sobbed.
*Look. A new wound* Captain Hook thought. He stood and walked out of his cabin. Captain Hook continued to sob as he entered his chamber. Additional tears ran down his face after he approached a window. *Everything hurts. I don't know if I can take it anymore.*
Captain Hook viewed the sun with the blue sky. He smiled. Captain Hook sobbed for a different reason. A new day reminding him he was alive.
The End
