Hiya its me! Here is chapter 2 of FFT I do hope you enjoy it!
I had to change how often I update due to work so it will still be on Sundays/Mondays it will just be every other week I'm afraid, unless there is an odd week where I have enough time to update and everything!
The chapter song for this chapter is "One Day" from Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. I absolutely love this song, so I may have to repeat it in another chapter!
Before I get started I'd just like to thank Ellie Rhii for your review, thank you so much for keeping up with this, you rock!
Anyway please leave a review if you can and if you like maybe even throw in a sneaky little favourite or follow!
As always I do not own Peter Pan or Neverland but FFT, Annabelle and any original content is mine.
Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 2: Days without the Lads.
Two days later…
"Annabelle thank you for your help. The boys should be back any day now, either with or without a pirate." Aaya said as I helped with the finishing touches on the holding hut, essentially a prison for the possible pirate.
"Oh anytime Aaya, you know I'd rather stay here and build over adventuring with the lads any day." I said sounding a lot more sarcastic than I had originally planned; luckily for me Aaya just brushed it off and laughed.
These two days have been so boring; I'd rather take the awkwardness of the past few months over these past two days pretty happily right now. I hope the boys are back tomorrow I cannot take a few more hours of this, let alone another two days.
"Anyway Aaya I best be heading back to the hideout before it gets too dark." I hugged her and walked off as fast as possible so I could avoid the invitations to stay here for dinner or even get offered a spare hammock. Without the boys here being with the tribe for just felt awkward an odd, I'd rather face the deathly silence of the hideout than stay here.
The walk wasn't too long anyway so within a couple of minutes I was at the last corner before the hideout, it had already gotten fairly dark so working my way around the tree roots and bushes was getting slightly harder. As I briefly look up I see a small bright white light in a nearby opening in the trees.
"Tink?" I asked out wondering if it was the tree spirit waiting to give me news about the boys, but as soon as the word left my mouth the light was gone.
"Must have been my head playing with me, I am stupidly tired after all…" I talked to myself to try to comfort me but the unease was still there. I started walking again, my pace was definitely faster at least until I got to our tunnel, then I felt safe.
Luckily our tunnel to the opening where our hideout is isn't too long and so it didn't take long for me to see the waterfall tempting me with its luscious waters to take a dip, but the tiredness consumed me like a blanket making me crave nothing except my bed. Even the thought of getting all snuggled up and warm is euphoric.
Again my pace quickens with the thought of being closer and closer to bed making me want to get there as quick as possible. Even though I hadn't eaten and the sun had only just finished setting I didn't care, sleep was my priority.
"Home sweet home…" I say as I enter the hideout and kick my shoes off and head to my room. The second I get into my room is shut my door and collapse on my bed the second I'm close enough to it. As I get under the blankets and snuggle up to Fox's jacket I slowly start to fall into a heavenly deep sleep.
Fox
"Boys!" I try to shout at the top of my lungs as I see them on an island not too far from here, but my attempt to get their attention is pointless since I can barely shout. My throat is under the worst pain from crying out daily anyway that I have essentially no voice right now.
They've fallen for the trap. Hooks plan is going ahead and they don't even know that they've started it.
Taking Cutthroat as hostage is how Hook is going to get to them, well one of them at least. I hope the plan fails, but even if it goes ahead I hope Annabelle is safe. But I know chances of that are slim, since Jimmy, no wait Hook is more heartless than he has ever been before and will take whoever he can get his hands on, the torture he has planned will break any of them, I should know.
"Oh no. What a shame Fox, they can't hear you. If only we were closer." Hook laughed, he brought me up on deck just so I could see the boys fall for the trap but not be able to stop them. He wanted me to see his plans begin. "Anyway they've forgotten all about you Fox, they'd just think you were a pirate. Annabelle doesn't even love you anymore, she's moved on. She's forgotten every single stupid detail about you and everything you ever did together. She doesn't even remember your name." Hook jeered trying to get me to give in, become as heartless as he is so I can join his side and join his crew.
I know its all lies. It has to be…
They'd never forget about me, well at least I hope not anyway…
"Captain, who is going to follow them?" One of the crew members asked.
"No one, we know where they are taking him. The tribe aren't going to have left their little hideout and that's exactly where Cutthroat will be going, so now all we do is wait for our signal from our tree spirit friend and then we can strike. Now back to work the lot of you, and take our prisoner down to his cell he's had enough freedom for today." Hook answered and as he talked about me he scowled at me trying to be intimidating. "Oh but before you do... Fox dearie I'll keep torture short today I've got the next stage of my plan to prepare. Hold him boys." I get grabbed by two dirty pirates, as Hook approaches. He punches me hard a bunch of times which is an improvement on the usual torture but still causes me to weakly cry out.
It won't work.
I won't give in.
No matter how much pain I am put under I will not give up.
As I get dragged down to the bottom of the ship, I start to feel more and more useless. How am I going to keep the gang safe whilst I'm down here, especially Bee I know she's Hooks main target. He knows we'd all do anything to stop her from getting hurt, even if it meant revoking the banishment of the pirates.
But I can't do anything; I'm left stuck in this dark dingy cell for the rest of my time on this ship. Except when Hook needs me again, I hope every day that I'm dragged out of her that it won't be torture but it always is.
