I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.

Captain Hook wished for two things. *I wish to end Peter Pan's life. I wish to be with my mother.* He scowled and walked by many trees. *Peter Pan will probably be alive for a long time. Mother isn't alive.*

Tears formed in Captain Hook's eyes. His lip trembled. *If I can be near my mother's spirit…* Captain Hook smiled. *I'll eventually be with the one I cherish.* He looked back and gasped.

A territorial panther stepped out of darkness. It viewed Captain Hook's sudden scowl.

''Attack me and perish!'' Captain Hook said. His eyes became wide after the panther used its claws to tear his shirt apart. He glanced at his bare chest and blushed. Captain Hook winced the minute one side of his body was scratched. His scowl returned.

''My hook is going to be the final thing you view!'' He winced again after the panther bit the other side of his body for a moment. He collapsed. He viewed the panther running before another scowl.

Captain Hook began to wince another time. He gasped again after his mother's spirit materialized near him. He saw concern in her eyes. ''You found me?''

Mrs. Hook nodded.

''You never loathed me. I cherished you.'' Captain Hook gasped another time after the illusion vanished. *I will suffer without my mother.* Tears appeared in his eyes again. They ran down his face as he sobbed. His tears eventually ended with his life.

Captain Hook found himself in a new woman's arms. He embraced his bride and kissed her. New tears ran down Captain Hook's face while he was with Death.
