I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.
''You captured another ship?'' Midshipman James Hook asked. He focused on Captain Jasper Hook's smile. James viewed him nodding. He ran out of his bedroom and followed him to one side of the ship. His eyes widened after he viewed two of Jasper's men holding a frowning woman's arms. He recognized the woman.
''Cecilia!'' He ran to her.
Cecilia's eyes widened the minute she saw her betrothed. ''This is what I find?'' she asked. She frowned again. ''You're not a merchant.''
James began to frown. ''I'm providing for you before we are married,'' he said. He saw tears in Cecilia's eyes. Did he wish to hear her next words?
''There won't be a wedding, James.'' She saw the latter's wide eyes. A few tears ran down her face. Cecilia's shoulders slumped.
''Perhaps you can be with the prisoner before she walks the plank, little brother. Your final minutes with one another,'' Jasper said. He viewed James scowling and departing. Jasper's eyes widened for a moment. He blinked twice. ''Perhaps not.''
James entered his bedroom. He began to pace by his bed. James continued to scowl. *I'll always remember Cecilia's tears now. She will never marry a pirate. I had to lie.*
James ceased pacing after Jasper's men appeared with Cecilia. He still scowled. James began to focus on Jasper's men. ''Why are you bringing Cecilia to me?'' he asked.
''Your brother scowled due to the prisoner sobbing,'' one pirate said.
''The prisoner is going to be with you before she walks the plank,'' the other pirate said.
''Why should I suffer?'' James asked. He viewed Jasper's men releasing Cecilia. He gasped after they departed and locked the door. His shoulders slumped. James saw Cecilia's tears another time. His scowl returned.
''I'm not going to suffer with you,'' James said to Cecilia.
''We can suffer with one another,'' Cecilia said. She imagined eventually standing on the plank with her arms tied behind her back. Additional tears ran down her face. She began to sob another time. Cecilia collapsed on her knees before she touched the floor. Her hat fell. Her hair tumbled down to her shoulders.
James scowled at Cecilia. *I may be a pirate, but I'm also a gentleman* he thought. James approached Cecilia and embraced her. He blushed as his eyes widened. James moved her hair to one side and touched her wet face. He kissed her.
Jasper appeared with his men and gasped. A scowl formed on his face. His entire body shook with anger. ''Are you taking my brother from me?'' he asked. Jasper viewed James releasing Cecilia and frowning. He smiled.
''You won't walk the plank,'' Jasper said to Cecilia. He saw her smile. ''I'll sell you to a freak show.'' Jasper heard James and Cecilia as they gasped at the same time. He focused on James. He smiled. ''You won't kiss this woman after you view what's left of her face,'' he said.
One pirate took a sobbing Cecilia out of the bedroom. The other pirate wrapped his arms around a struggling James.
''You won't smile after I remove your eye, Jasper!'' James said.
Jasper frowned. He eventually looked back. Jasper smiled after his men returned with Cecilia. He turned to James and saw the latter's wide eyes.
''Do you still wish to kiss Cecilia?'' Jasper asked.
