It has been a while since I wrote anything for FanFiction and this is the first chapter of my new story! Feel free to comment/review and let me know what you think! Thanks for reading!

Chapter 1

As the cool ocean water washed over my bare feet, I remembered what my old life had been like. I had been miserable. I was stuck in a terrible job with no hopes of ever making it to college, my boyfriend of three years had been cheating on me with an older woman that lived in our apartment building, and I had absolutely no family to fall back on. Of course, that was before Peter and before Neverland.

I had met Peter Pan when it seemed like my world was crumbling down around me. I don't remember every detail of that night, but he was my savior. I was skeptical at first, as any sane person would be, that he really was who he claimed to be. For some reason the young boy was drawn to me, a nineteen-year old girl, who was too busy sitting on a park bench and mopping up her own tears to even realize that he had sat down beside her. We talked for over an hour and I must have said something right, because that was they night that he brought me to Neverland. My new home.

It was a beautiful day on the beach. The wind was blowing ever so gently and the sun hung high and bright in the sky, warming my skin. The boys and Peter were probably off playing some game in the forest. I had spent most of my first two weeks on the island playing games with them nearly all day, every day. After week three, the same childish games began to grow boring, and so I sought out my own adventures.

I made my way down the beach and towards the treed path that would lead me back to the place where the boys, Peter, and I gathered to eat and sleep. I was almost to the path when a tall man in tattered clothing stepped out of the trees. I paused for a moment as our gazes locked. There was something about him that seemed familiar, but I couldn't figure out what it was. When he smiled, a shiver rolled down my spine. I was starting to take my first step back when two more men emerged from the trees behind him and started stalking towards me.

I turned on my heels and ran. I didn't get far before a hand landed on my shoulder and yanked me backwards. I lost by balance and fell onto the sand. The tall man that I had seen first yanked me back onto my feet, and pulled both hands behind my back. I pulled and struggled to fight my way free, but his grip was to strong. I brought the heel on my bare foot down as hard as I could onto the man's foot, and I must have surprised him because his grip loosened just enough for me to get free.

I didn't get far. I was maybe ten feet further down the beach when one of the other men had tackled me into the sand. I was struggling to get my face out of the sand so that I could breathe when I hear a deep voice shout, "Enough!".

Instantly, the man that had forced me to the ground was standing and helping me to my feet. I brushed the sand from my face and turned to see who had given the order, only to see the face of the man I knew could ruin everything. Captain Hook.

He was a tall and muscular man of maybe no older than twenty-three or twenty-four. His beard was trimmed close to the skin, and his longer coal black hair fell loosely around his face. He looked nothing like the villain in the stories, but much handsomer. I suppose from a child's perspective, twenty-four would seem fairly old.

The Captain kept his hooked hand hidden behind his back as he approached me. He looked to the tall man and said, "You are to take her back to the ship, and make sure she gets there in one piece". The man simply nodded and wrapped his hand around my upper arm, giving a sharp tug to get me moving.

I was loaded onto a small boat with all of the men from the beach, minus Captain Hook. After rowing and battling the waves, we arrived at the ship. It was large and menacing and when a rope ladder was dropped from the upper deck, I froze. They couldn't expect me to climb that, could they?

Seeing the look on my face, the burliest of the three men picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. I screamed and kicked, but all that seemed to do was anger him. Faster than I would have thought possible, we were on the deck of the dreaded Captain Hook's ship…

So this first chapter was rather short and uneventful, but I promise the next one will be both longer and more interesting! Stay tuned for more chapters to come. Thanks again for reading!
