Hi guys! I noticed that I didn't even say goodbye the 1st chapter! How rude of me... I'll make sure to check my chapters more often. I'd also like to thank you guys for reviewing, really made me happy! I'll answer questions: So yes, I saw that my last chapter was a lot shorter than I thought it would be, so I'll make sure to make them longer. Janet does happen to have the same last name as Jake's, but I won't say who they are...yet. *chuckles evilly* (By the way, thank you Nellie for the review!) Now it's time for the 2nd chapter..

Janet's POV
I forced my eyes to blink and look around at my surroundings. Where am I? Oh right. I'm in my small room, and it's dark pretty dark in here- Did I fall alsleep? I wonder if Janiella is back home. Then I felt my heart being stabbed with a painful ache and my already sore eyes blinked back tears. She's not here. She's dead. All thanks to a dumb car accident. I hated the other driver so much, I just wanted to go over there and punch them and make them feel twice my pain.
I punched the bed railing, only to make my hand hurt. I didn't care. I don't even want to think about moving on without my only friend. These guardians could probably care less about my feelings. Our "mother" is completly strict and will slap or yell loud enough to make our eardrums hurt. She'll hit us when we forgot about homework and never lets us go outside beyond the backyard. Someone will see our bruises. Our "dad" is barely around, getting drunk and hits us for no apparent reason. He returns after work like that almost every day.
The more I think about this, the more I realize one solution. As tears continued to make a river down my cheeks, I decided I can't live here anymore. I'm not even going to escape and turn myself into officials. I want to escape into the woods where they'll never find me and never return. Never. My sister would want that. She'd want me to be free, escape this prison and prove that I'm stronger and braver than they think...
"Don't worry Janet. One day, I'll get us out of here. Maybe you'll get us out of here. We'll survive with the courage and strength." I recalled her saying, a week before the accident. We were sent to our room after another physical punishment for me not passing a math quiz, Janiella trying to defend me.
"How?", I had said in a defeated tone, "When everything is in total chaos? This just isn't fair!"
"I know." She looked out the window with a hopeful but sad look, the green trees making her reflected eyes seem greener. "But you'll find a way. You just have to believe." I found that impossible.
Now with her gone... I feel weak and helpless. I'm getting out of here. There's no point in staying. I stood up and packed everything I thought I needed, including a dagger. I didn't look back.
I took off running. Out the front door, into the warm breeze and straight into the forest-like environment. The air seemed to thicken. My heart ached and every beat was a strong hammer against my chest. I stared at the ground as I ran. Where I was going, I don't know. Just get out of the living prison. Trees flew by quickly as a I quickened my pace, thoughts of those guardians trying to following me.
Although... I felt another presence nearby, making me walk faster, but I continued to stare at the ground. There was no way I needed another distraction. My eyes watered and blurred my path when I heard the thud of something hit the tree in front of me. I looked at it confused and wiped my eyes roughly again to clear my vision. It was a dagger, right above my head. Oh no.
"Where do you think you're going?" A quiet, but low, recognizable voice said right behind me. It's her.
Third Person POV
Night has silently fallen in Neverland, the ocean's waves making a natural lullaby as the breeze blew strong. A crew of three young kids slept soundly after a long day of adventure in their hideout. If only the peace could continue, if it weren't for 4 figures hiding near the place they called home...
"Cap'n, are you sure you want to enter the hideout of the sea-pups' home?" Smee asked his captain, voice clearly with worry. Sharky and Bones had hidden behind the bushes earlier to see how Jake and his crew opened their hideout. Once they've seen how obvious the hideout can be opened, they rushed back to the Jolly Roger and told Captain Hook how to open the hideout. They planned their next steps and waited until night has fallen, when the crew were asleep.
Now as they snuck closer to the lever to open the hideout, they only thing they had to watch out for is making sure none of them wake up.
"It's the perfect plan, . That pixie dust will be ours to take so that we'll find a way to get rid of that Pan." With that, Captain Hook tiptoed to the lever, and as quiet as he could, pulled the lever down. Two palm trees moved to the side, along with the boards sliding away, revealing the hidden entrance. The secret doorway the pirate crew thought the Jolly Roger crew would never find.
"You two boys stay here and be on the lookout." He called on to Sharky and Bones, who saluted with their usual "Aye-aye, Captain!" Only this time they did it with uncertainty.
Not wanting to waste time, Hook and ran inside the entrance before it could close. They were finally in without disturbance. Captain Hook grinned to himself with a rush of pride before remembering what he was here for. Mr. Smee followed him around nervously, checking every angle to make sure there weren't any traps.
"Blast!" Captain Hook said silently, cleary annoyed that next door he opened was just a room filled with the crew's beloved items, "Where do those popinjays even sleep?" held his hand to his ear and listened carefully. Just then did he hear the soft snoring of Jake and his crew. He tiptoed, with some success as quietly as he could, to follow the noise across their hideout, where the snoring became louder.
"I believe they're in here, Cap'n." He whispered before slightly opening the door to make sure. There was their pirate leader as he snored and even mumbled "yo ho, let's go" in his sleep. Cubby was also snoring while Izzy was sleeping soundly. Aw, the sea pups just look so peaceful in their sleep. He didn't even notice Captain Hook move in next to him. In an instant he was startled.
"AH!"
"Shhh!" Captain Hook quickly looked back at the crew. Panic rose when they began to stir, and he knew that they would be sunk. But all they did was turn and went right back to sleep. He sighed in relief. What they really came for was the pixie dust hanging on Izzy's neck.
Hook tiptoed across the room, after a warning from Mr. Smee to be careful, before reaching the foot of Izzy's bed. The silent sound of a sword being drawn was present, and very carefully, Hook leaned down and took the string of her pixie dust necklace to cut it. He used the tip of the sword to assure it won't accidentally cut her and wake her up. One side of the string was released, the pixie dust necklace now open to take. Hook felt another rush of pride as he slowly picked up the strings.
"Hehe...I did it!" Hook stood back up and held the string up high, sheathing his sword back. He looked down only to see Izzy stir again, this time absentmindedly reaching around her neck. Before Captain Hook could react, Izzy's eyes slowly blinked and shot open.
She immediately sat up and gasped when she saw Hook.
"Captain Hook? How did you get into our hideout?" The captain gave his wicked smile and quickly hid the pixie dust pouch behind him. From the other side of the room, Jake and Cubby quickly sat up to Izzy's voice, rubbing their eyes. There was only one thing he could do.
"Ahoy there puny pirate," Captain Hook said in a low voice,"wish I could stay longer, but I've got a bigger fish to fry..." His next words made them all jump as he poined out the door. "RUN, SMEE!"
"Running Cap'n!" Smee quickly ran out of the entrance, Hook following soon after.
Cubby stared after them in shock. "Captain Hook? What's he doing here?"
"Izzy, what happened?" Jake said now standing up.
Izzy looked down and felt where her pixie dust necklace used to be. "I don't know, but I think Captain Hook stole my pixie dust! I don't have it anywhere." Her emotions were clouded with worry and confusion.
Cubby felt the same bewilderment. "Why would he want your pixie dust?"
"We've got to catch up to him to see what he's up to. Come on, crew!" Jake called as held up his sword. The young pirate crew, still in their pajamas, ran out of their hideout and onto the clear night sky and the shores of Pirate Island. They all noticed one thing: Captain Hook's dinghy, which he probably used to reach the shores, was missing. The Jolly Roger was nowhere to be seen either.
"Aw, coconuts! Where could they be?" Cubby continued to look around palm trees and rocks, expecting one of the Jolly Roger crew members would be in hiding. Izzy looked near the entrance and into the bushes. Jake looked around the island. Still no Hook. They were too late.
"Don't worry, maties," Jake tried to assure his worried friends, "we'll try to find that sneaky snook by morning. Until then, we need to get some shut-eye." With the mumbles of "aye-aye, Jake", the crew retrieved to their hideout to sleep.
The crew did not see a huge, dark figure floating in the sky. The figure seemed surrounded by yellow luminescent sparkles that left a trail of it behind. It was shaped just like a ship. It headed straight for the second star to the right.
Looks like Hook has gotten more sneakier. Captain Hook, in this version, is a little more into his original "Peter Pan" level, so he won't be as clumsy like in the beginning seasons of JATNP. Also, Jake and his crew are 2 years older, though the explanation is still secret. Until then, fellow readers, thank you for taking the time to read this chapter. You can probably tell I'm a new author since I need lots of improvements. Suspicions awaits...see you the next chapter!
