It was the next day when Billy Jukes followed Captain Hook by many trees. There was a vague memory of Captain Hook announcing his plan to capture Peter Pan. Force him to walk the plank. There wasn't anything about capturing Peter's companions. Zero mention of Wendy. The possibility of using her as bait for Peter Pan.
Billy Jukes began to scowl after he viewed Cecilia walking by Captain Hook's side. He had to admit he was a bit shocked about Captain Hook consenting to the idea of Cecilia being with him. He guessed possible traps were forgotten. If Cecilia was harmed? Billy Jukes was certain that he would have been blamed. Most likely forced to take Peter Pan's place. He also wondered if Captain Hook figured he was going to protect Cecilia from any harm.
*Cecilia most likely convinced Captain Hook to bring her with him if there were tears in her eyes. She never liked the thought of anything harming him. The thought of Captain Hook never returning to her* Billy Jukes thought.
Captain Hook paused near a tree and stretched his arms. He turned to his crew. ''Let's rest for a few minutes before we continue our search.'' He began to sit against the tree. Captain Hook watched while Cecilia imitated him. There was a rare smile prior to a kiss. He didn't seem to mind Cecilia resting with her head on his arm.
Billy Jukes frowned while the other pirates fell asleep near Captain Hook. The plan to get even with Captain Hook wasn't forgotten. Billy Jukes looked back. A smile materialized on his face as soon as he observed a merchant walking with a carnival wagon. One glance from him to Cecilia.
Sweet revenge.
After approaching the merchant, Billy Jukes continued to smile.
''I have the perfect carnival freak to feature.''
''Oh?''
Billy Jukes approached Cecilia and removed the sheet covering her face. A glance at the merchant. Wide eyes.
''Wonderful! The perfect freak.''
Billy Jukes revealed a bag of coins. He gave the bag to the merchant. He stepped to one side as the merchant seized Cecilia's arms and dragged her from Captain Hook. After approaching the carnival wagon, he observed him placing Cecilia in it. Billy Jukes continued to smile the minute she opened her eyes and sat up. He saw wide eyes. Worry in them.
Captain Hook opened his eyes before he turned to the empty area near him and gasped. They widened the minute he viewed Cecilia in the wagon.
