I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.
''The brothers lived happily ever after,'' Mrs. Hook said. She smiled. She looked from James to Jasper. ''You'll hear another story tomorrow evening.'' Mrs. Hook walked far from their beds. She switched the light off before she departed.
James trembled as his eyes widened. He thought he heard footsteps by his bed. He gasped. *A ghost is near my bed?* James thought. A sudden frown formed on his face. *Mummy isn't here to protect me from spirits* he thought. His body still trembled.
James thought he saw a dark form near his bed. After gasping again, he viewed Jasper approaching his bed. James blinked twice. His body stopped trembling. Confused, he tilted his head to one side. ''Jasper?'' he asked. He saw concern in Jasper's eyes.
Jasper sat on the bed before he held James. He smiled. ''I'll protect you from spirits, little brother.''
James began to smile in Jasper's arms. *I'll always be safe.* He fell asleep.
Many years later, Captain James Hook played a harpsichord during a song. Although Jasper and their mother departed from the world, his harpsichord wasn't able to abandon him. Captain Hook continued to smile and sing. The song stopped after a green light materialized near the harpsichord.
Captain Jasper Hook's spirit faded into view.
A scowl replaced Captain Hook's smile after he glanced at Jasper. He turned before he faced him. Captain Hook focused on Jasper's scowl. ''Why are you here?'' he asked.
''I'm here due to your loud songs! You interrupted my slumber!'' Jasper said. He floated to his younger brother. Jasper embraced James, but not enough to end his life. He viewed the latter's wide eyes. He began to smile. ''Not one person will protect you from this spirit, little brother.''
Captain Hook remembered his mother's tales from when he was a boy. *The brothers lived happily ever after.*
The End
