So I was revising and this popped into my head. I know Hook is slightly out of character but still. I decided to rate this a T because well it's pirates and they swear worse than sailors! Also I think Peter is around 17 in this I'm yet to decide whether he always was or he left Neverland for some reason.
Ps. bet you can't guess who Cassie's mother is (well you probably will but still)
Disclaimer: I would love to own Peter Pan but unfortunately I am not J.M Barrie. So all credit goes to him... Wait no he can't have Cassie, she's mine.
I've Had Enough Great Adventure
Chapter 1
Cassandra Hook had been protected her entire life. She had been told not to go to Mermaid's Lagoon and Tiki Forrest more times than she'd had hot dinners, though seeing as she was always late to dinner that wasn't very often, and under no circumstances was she to go to Neverwood, ('Not even if it was the last place to hide from a vicious murderer, Cassie' her father had replied to her attempt at a loophole). And seeing as her father's ship was nearly always out at sea or docked in Crystal Cove, there weren't many places for Cassie to go. Skull Rock was past Mermaid's Lagoon so that was out of bounds and the Black Castle scared Cassie (she swore she always heard ticking following her. Cassie felt as if she was permanently trapped inside a crystal bubble and wrapped in swaths and swaths of cloth. But Cassie had grown up listening to her mother's stories of swash-buckling adventures and longed to have one of her own.
Cassie told her father her grievances one night and was shocked by his reponse.
"Cassandra, child you do not know the dangers surrounding you. You are not to go anywhere near Neverwood, I have told you this too many times."
"But Daddy..." Cassie had begun to protest,
"No buts, please for once do as you are told." What surprised Cassie was the fact that instead of looking angry as Cassie expected she saw a trace of fear flit across James Hook's face. But when Cassie's mother placed a soothing hand on his shoulder, his face softened and he spoke in a softer tone.
"Please Cassie, these are the only things I ask of you and it is for own good."
And so Cassie resigned herself to stare longingly at the maps which adorned her father's cabin walls and allow her fingers to trace the routes that she may never get to travel.
However as much as Cassie longer for danger she longed for romance more. She had read countless novels about whirlwind romances ad wished that if only once she would get the chance to feel her heart flutter in her chest and to feel the spark that one only feels when in love. Being a fifteen year old girl on a pirate ship, there was only one other Cassie's age and that was the cooks assistant and he smelt of mushy peas (which Cassie absolutely despised) and her limited running grounds meant Cassie had never even seen a boy she might like.
'perhaps it is for the best' Cassie often thought to herself 'after all if one does not fall in love then one wouldn't get their heart broken.' But she never really believed it.
Being the hopeless romantic she was Cassie loved her parent's tale of how they fell in love. Cassie's mother had come to Neverland with Peter Pan, (whom Cassie had mixed feelings about currently) when she was a little younger than Cassie and at the time had hated her father, making him her childhood villain. But when she had returned home and grew older, Cassie's mother found herself to become rather attached to the villain who haunted her dreams and felt herself become unexplainable distraught whenever he crossed her mind as she had thought he was dead, eaten by crocodile (which Cassie also had a petrifying fear of). However when Cassie's mother had found her way back to Neverland, by some strange occurrence neither Cassie's mother or father could explain, now 22, they both found each other and slowly (and rather explosively Cassie came to understand) they fell in love and married. Cassie often had to suppress a sigh when she heard the story and saw the adoring looks that crossed her parent's faces when they saw one another.
But despite her complaining Cassie loved nothing more when they were sailing across the sea. The high waters were her home, where she could take flight and be free. And when Cassie was at sea, she didn't see the pride in her father's eyes at the way she lit up. What else Cassie didn't know was her parents increasing worry that Cassie's curiosity would get the better of her and she would disobey the rules she so detested. A worry which was highlighted the night after Cassie voiced her frustrations with the restrictions of her explorations.
"James, we can't expect Cassie to sit around all day." Her mother had commented that night when they were getting ready for bed." James Hook looked over at his wife pulling on her nightgown,
"I know my beauty but I can't suggest she go places with an escort, she'll give them the slip within 5 minutes, she's like her mother that way, always giving me the slip." He moved a lock of his wife's dark brown curls from her face and cupped her face.
"I stopped giving you the slip many years ago my love," James watched his wife's flush tint her face and collarbone as she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. Gods how he loved this woman.
"And I am eternally thankful for that fact." James murmured, bending his head to kiss his wife before moving to trail kissing her neck as she let a whimper. James smirked against her skin. "Come my dear the time for talking is over, let us go to bed."
So can you guess who Cassie's mother is? I think that you probably will I didn't really cover it much. Please review, my copies of Peter Pan both the film and book how been used so much they need replaced so I'm going without and I need reviews to thrive. To anyone who reads my other fanfics I'm am soo sorry I haven't updated anything at all I am a disgrace to the name fanfiction... But I do have 4 chapters of New Generation to upload so I hope you'll forgive me once those are up plus I'm rewriting plot lines at the moment as well as revising my ass off currently so yeah.
Word count: 896 so um... slightly disappointing to me but then again not bad seeing I was writing while revising and watching/ unwilling being involved in a water fight in the same day so 896 words in around 3 hours isn't that bad I suppose.
