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

*Death won't be my bride. Cecilia was my bride. Almost* Captain Hook thought. He winced under a blanket.

Captain Hook remembered when he was sick recently. He remembered other things. Cecilia's tears after Captain Jasper Hook captured her ship.

New tears as she walked the plank.

*Death won't be my bride.* After wincing again, Captain Hook ceased writhing. He found himself in a dark world. Frowning, he wandered. Captain Hook paused after Cecilia's spirit materialized in his arms. His eyes widened. ''You found me? You moved on?''

Cecilia nodded twice. She kissed him.

Captain Hook smiled.

Death wasn't so bad.
