Hello, friends. I'm back, and Isa's back with a new chapter of IATTONL (Initials for the story). In this chapter, we'll see Isabel, where these princess pillaging pirates have taken her, even those I'm sure you guys already know. I mean, it's in the title of the story, why am I saying this... nevermind, let's just get this chapter on. I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 2: Welcome to Never Land
Isa had no idea where she was going, or why these people took her. From the hole of the bag she was stuffed in, she could see that the ship was flying, as she recognized certain Avalor buildings.
The young princess sighed. This is not how she wanted to spend her evening... she gets kidnapped, the guards aren't able to save her... and the images of Elena's heartbroken face and terrified scream replayed in her mind.
The two sisters had been separated already for years... and Isa did not want to face separation from her family again.
Unfortunately, it was looking that way...
Suddenly, the ship leaned a bit, and the bag slid across the deck, bumping into the side of the ship. This caused Isa to hit her head, as she groaned a bit. Just where in the world were these people taking her...?
Little did she know, was that she would find that very very soon. For the ship started to fly upwards... towards the stars. Before Isa knew it... she saw lights and flashing... she also heard voices. And then... silence...
She looked through the hole again, and gasped in shock.
There seemed to be an island the ship was flying towards. That's when the moustache man walked towards the bag and chuckled, "I have a pretty big surprise for you, Peter Pan..."
Peter Pan?
Isa blinked. If this man was talking about Peter Pan... then he must be... Captain Hook... and if this was Hook... then the ship she was on was the Jolly Roger... and they... were... in...
"Never Land, ahoy!" One of the men on the ship shouted
She almost couldn't believe it. But it appeared to be true, as suddenly, she felt a jerk, as the ship was hitting water. They were in the Never Sea. That's when the same plump man who bagged her walked up to Hook, "Capn', are you sure that this young girl is Wendy?" He asked.
"I am certain, Smee!" The captain said, "Brown hair, blue gown. Who else could it be?"
Uh, how about a princess...? Isa thought while rolling her eyes. So that explains it. Hook kidnapped her and mistook her as Wendy, the girl Peter Pan once met in the stories. He must be planning something for her... and whatever it may be, it couldn't be good.
I guess I can't blame him entirely... I guess I do look a little bit like Wendy... but now, I gotta figure out how to get off this ship.
The princesses thoughts were interrupted by one of Hook's crew mates grabbed the bag she was in. She then found herself being lifted off the deck... and high in the air. Before she knew it, she was hanging from on the rods that hold the sails.
What was Hook planning to do with her...?
"There's no doubt in me mind, Mr. Smee. That once Pan sees that his precious Wendy is in trouble of drowning at the bottom of the Never Seas... he'll come flying right in..."
What? He was planning to drown her?! Isa was starting to get scared as she thrashed about in the bag, attempting to escape. But her efforts were null and void, as the bag was too thick to even tear.
That's when she heard the villainous pirate captain seemingly calling out for Peter Pan, "Oh, Pan! I have a special surprise for you! If you want it... come and get it, boy!"
Yes, Peter... come save me.. The princess thought.
Little did she know, was that she would get some help... but from some other than Pan himself...
As she sat silently, another ship approached the Jolly Roger. But it was much smaller, and aboard were more pirates... but unlike Hook and his crew, these pirates were actually... kids. And their leader looked at the bag hanging over the side of the bigger ship.
"Captain Hook!" The leader called, "What are you doing?!"
The evil captain groaned, "Bug off, puny pirates! I'm calling for Peter Pan, not you!"
"That's why I asked..."
"Well, if you must know, I have a little present for Pan. Something that he'll love to see very much..."
The girl next to the leader raised an eyebrow, "And who could that be?"
Hook chuckled, before he gave his answer as he looked up at the bag, which began to move around again, "I believe you pipsqueaks know her as... Wendy..." He said with a grin.
The small boy on the boy's left gasped, "Wendy? You have Wendy?"
A green parrot flying above frowned, "Not the first time he's captured someone." He said, remembering a particular moment that Hook had kidnapped a certain someone.
"Let her go!" The leader demanded, raising his sword.
"You're trying to lead Peter into a trap!" The girl realized.
But the captain wasn't going to give up so easily to a silly demand, "If you want her. Come get her, Jake!"
The leader, now known as Jake, glared at the sneaky snook, "We'll be glad to, Hook! Yo ho, let's go!"
With that, the kids little pirate ship, pulled up closer, allowing them to slide into the deck of the Jolly Roger, "We're coming for you, Wendy!" The girl, known as Izzy by the way, called as she attempted to climb the mast of the ship to reach the bag holding Isa... not knowing that she wasn't Wendy.
Finally, someone is coming to my rescue... she thought, But if it's not Peter... then who is it?
As for Jake, he pointed his sword at Hook, who drew his own sword, "You're digging your own grave here, boy..." Hook warned, drawing his own sword.
"I could say the same for you..." Jake replied, "Kidnapping girls is low, even for you..."
"I've done worse. But now, if you know what's good for you, you'd best leave before I run you through!"
"Not until we save Wendy!"
After that was said, the two engaged in a sword fight. As for the smaller boy and parrot, named Cubby and Skully respectively, tried to assist Izzy in freeing the girl in the bag. She had reached the top of the mast and attempted to cut the ropes holding the girl, but they were too tight.
That's when Skully used his beak to peck at the ropes holding the bag together, but to no avail.
"We'll get you out of here quickly, Wendy..." Izzy told Isa, still unaware that it was not Wendy.
Isa figured that they needed help. So she started to think of ways to cut the rope and hopefully the bag. She began to feel around the bag, until she felt something and picked it up. She figured it was piece of glass.
The princess reached through the hole to give the girl the glass. Izzy gladly took it, "Thanks, Wendy. We'll get you down in no time."
By that time, Jake had defeated Hook, sending him overboard... where a familiar crocodile was waiting, "Blast you, boy!" The captain growled, shaking his hook at the smiling Jake, before swimming away from the hungry ticking croc.
"Sorry, Captain. Can't let you hurt Wendy just to lure in Peter!" Was all he said.
As for Isa, she smiled happily to herself as Izzy and Cubby carried the bag she was in, "We got Wendy!" She said.
"Great! Then yo ho, let's go!" Jake said.
With that, the crew, using Izzy's pixie dust, flew away from the Jolly Roger, and their own ship, the Buccaneer (or Bucky) for short. Once arriving, they sailed away, just in case that old codfish attempted to come back.
At this point, Isa was more than eager to finally get out of the bag. Jake could tell too as he used his sword to cut the ropes, "That was close Wendy, but luckily we saved you. We'll get you back to London soon enough-"
By the time he cut the rope and opened the bag, Isa popped out. It was at this moment, that the crew was even more confused than ever.
The princess looked back at them, just as equally confused, but more about why they were looking at her so weirdly. To break the silence, she smiled at them, "Thanks for saving me back there. If you guys didn't come along, I probably would have been shark food... or crocodile food... or octopus... whatever the case would have been."
But they continued to stare, which started to disturb her. Okay, this is getting weird... She thought.
Soon after another few moments of staring, the small boy, Cubby, spoke.
"You're not Wendy!"
Isa blinked, "Yeah... you're right, I'm not..."
The parrot then chuckled, "Well, what do ya know? Ol' Feather Hat got the wrong girl."
"Which isn't much better..." Jake told him, before turning back to the princess, "Sorry about that. We thought that Hook had captured a friend of ours. I guess he might have mistaken you for that friend..."
Isa giggled, "I guess so. I guess I can't blame him either. I do look a little like Wendy, don't I?"
The crew could tell by the blue nightgown and brown hair. She did look like Wendy. That's when Izzy spoke up, "Well, we should probably get you back home. Just tell us where to go and-"
"Wait!" Isa interrupted, "You don't have to take me home right away... I mean... I've always heard stories of Peter Pan and Never Land... and I've always wanted to come here... but I almost thought that it was all make believe... but... I'm really here... so... I'd like to explore the island and have some fun... and then you can take me home."
Jake looked at his crew, before smiling back at the princess, "Okay, new matey. We'll be more than happy to give you a grand tour of Never Land! But first... what's your name?"
"Princess Isabel, but you can call me Isa."
Izzy gasped, "A princess? You're a princess!" With that, she curtsied, prompting the boys to do the same.
"It's nice to meet you, you're highness." Jake took her hand and kissed it, "I'm Jake, and these are my mateys; Izzy, Cubby, and Skully."
"Oh, you don't have to do the whole 'highness' thing." Isa told him, "Like I said, just call me Isa. Treat me like you'd treat anybody else. It's totally fine with me."
"Okay then, Isa. Now, about that grand tour."
The eleven year old smiled with glee, Maybe Hook kidnapping me wasn't such a bad idea. Now I can see all of Never Land and learn so much about it! This will be the adventure of a lifetime!
And there you have it. Jake and his friends manage to save Isa from Hook, and offer to give her a tour of Never Land, just like she's always dreamed. Next chapter, we'll see that tour, and see Isa interact with some old friends. Will she enjoy her stay at Never Land? You'll just have to see. Until then, I'll see you guys later, and as always, don't forget to review, please. Thank you!
