Disclaimer- I only own my mind. And I'm losing that already.
I was walking along a dark road. The trees around the road were scary and black, leering at me. I couldn't see where I was going. All of a sudden, the road ended and if I had stepped any farther, I would have fallen into water. Then, I heard a squeal from the sky. I looked up, and there were pigs. Fat pigs, skinny pigs, pink pigs, brown pigs, all kinds of pigs. And they were swinging.
That's right, you heard me. They were swinging. A gigantic swing set was set up. There were at least 100 huge swings set up about 50 feet from ground. And the pigs were swinging on them. Their little hooves held onto the rope. They looked like they were enjoying themselves too.
Strangely, this didn't seem like any big deal to me. I happily turned around and noticed a man standing by the edge of the cliff. I walked up to him, and tapped them on the shoulder. He turned around and I saw he had black curly hair, blue eyes, and a Hook for a hand.
He looked familiar.
I asked him, "What are you doing here?"
He replied, evilly. "To wake you up."
With this, he grabbed me and pushed me off the cliff into the waters below.
I hit the water, feeling scared. But instead of it getting darker, it was getting lighter. And I could hear someone laughing. I blinked, and light had come into my eyes really hard.
I blinked again, and then noticed I was drenched, but not underwater. Remembering the past nights happening and wondering why I thinking sanely, (Which was a first) I opened my eyes, and the inside of a dark, smelly brig came into focus. I was in a 4-foot cage. An empty bucket lay nearby and a chair was right by me. The room was small, and looked very uncomfortable.
Holy Mary Mother Of God! I'm in Neverland.
I sat up and banged my head on the (iron) cage. Okay, note to self- don't do that again, okay, Cassie?
I heard someone laughing. I looked around, and the smelly man that had been by Hook side earlier, was rolling on the floor outside my prison, laughing hysterically. That's Smee.
"What are you laughing at?" I asked him, irritably.
"Flying…Pigs…" He gasped, holding his sides.
What the hell is he laughing at? You've had weirder. Remember the time you dreamed about you getting turned into Scooby Doo?
I shook my head. I felt a little claustrophobic. You would too if you awoke on a pirate ship in a fictional land and had met a fictional…
Wait. Is he going to use me for bait?
"Stop laughing." I commanded. "Is Captain Codfish going to use me for bait?"
"Ahem." A tall, dark figure was in the frame of the doorway.
This is so incredibly cliché. I bet it'll be Hook.
I was right.
"I would prefer you DON'T call me a codfish, my lady." Hook said, walking in and sitting down on the chair beside my prison. I grabbed the bars.
"What in the name of god damned heaven and earth did you stick me in a cage for?" I asked him angrily.
Hook smirked, twirling his stupid mustache. I had a sudden urge to rip it out of his face.
"Well, for one thing, you ran from me. For another, I wondered about you and who you were. Not many people have been able to evade capture for so long."
I sat back. I glowered at him. "You wanna know who I am? I'll tell you. I am-"
"Princess Leia, from a galaxy far, far, away. I fight Darth Vader and have parties with huge furry things called-"
"LIAR!" He suddenly yelled. Dude got's no sense of humor. I shrugged. "I'm not lying. I'm Leia. Don't punish me for telling the truth."
"Fine, Leia. I also want you for something else." He said, trying to be patient.
I gasped, thinking of all the stuff that I had read on He wanted to use me for bait. So Peter Pan could come and rescue me like the heroic 'tard that he was. He wanted me to walk the plank so Pan could hear me scream. Then he would try to shoot him, which would never work. Peter would take me to his hideout, make me be a mother to him and little kids in bear suits, and after a few weeks, I would want to go home.
End of story.
"Oh, no." I yelled. "I AM NOT GOING TO BE USED FOR BAIT. NO WAY IN HELL! I WOULD RATHER BE SPLIT OPEN BY-"
He cut me off again, looking mad. "So-" At this he rose, poking his hook through the bars. I drew back as far as I could go. "You would rather be split open with my hook?" He hissed.
I shook my head. "On second thought, I would rather you use me for bait. If that's what you wanted me for. Right?"
He grunted a yes, then tried to get his Hook out of the cage. He couldn't. "Uh…Uh…" He grunted, pulling harder. His Hook came off.
Realizing my chance, I rushed forward and grabbed the claw. "Give THAT BACK!" He screeched.
I taunted him. "You want that back? Then take me home and I'll give it back. Until then" -I stowed it in my pocket- "I'm keeping it."
"I think not, eunuch!" Smee roared. I blinked. When has he seen Pirates of The Caribbean?
He had apparently got over his laughing fit and had obtained a sword. That was poking into my side. Hard.
"Give it back or you're dead!"
I sighed, then handed it back through the bars. It had been worth a shot.
Hook screwed his Hook back on, his eyes flashing dangerously.
"I am going to use me for bait, and you WIIL die." He screamed. "But Pan isn't back yet, so you'll be stuck here until he gets here. Tinkerbell is following him as we speak."
I gasped. So she DID turn into Anakin Skywalker. This is so weird.
"Well, you suck." I said, and then congratulated myself on a frank answer.
"I've had enough of your cheek." He sneered, and opened the door to my cage.
God. What did you get your self into this time, Cassie?
He grabbed me by the hair. I screamed and tried to fight him off, but alas I was a weakling.
Hook dragged me out, with me still screaming and clawing. "Give me some rope." He snapped to Smee. Smee handed him rope, silently.
"WHAT? YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TIE ME UP!"
Alas, they did.
But they did not gag me.
"You need to learn how to respect your elders. You're just like that boy." He said, mockingly.
Damn, Cassie, you are in trouble.
Yah think?
"Oh, fuck off." I said, before I could prevent the words. Hook's face turned from cool and calm to really, REALLY, mad.
"And THIS IS YOUR FIRST LESSON!"
He SMACKED me. Right across the face. With his hand. It didn't feel too good.
"Ouch!" I screamed, thinking there was going to be a red mark right where he slapped me.
Before he or I could do any more damage, the same burly pirate who had held me the night before rushed in. "Cap'n, Sir." He gasped. "Tink's back. Pan is about fifteen minutes to the island."
Hook stood up, grinning wickedly. He motioned Smee to untie me from the chair. But as soon as he did that, he tied my wrists together and gagged me. The gag did NOT taste too good, either.
The big pirate, (hereafter known as Burly) grabbed me by the shoulders and forced me out the door and onto the deck of the pirate ship. I glanced around and took my first glance of Neverland. Woah!
It was gorgeous. Trees everywhere, mermaids sunning themselves on rocks, beaches, and a huge mountain.
Hook heard my gasp and said, "You think this is cool? Check it out when Pan comes back." I glared at him, and then glanced around the pirate ship. Drunken men sprawled all over the place. I wrinkled up my nose.
Smells bad, doesn't it?
As if seeing my distaste, Hook called for attention. "Men!" He cried, and all the men shot up. "WE have a situation. I caught this young one, as you may know, and so I'm going to use her. Set up the plank." The men cheered and grabbed a stray piece of wood. One of them got some nails and a hammer and nailed it to the side of the Jolly Roger.
If I fall into the water, I'll ruin my Tetris!
Who cares about Tetris, Cassie. You're life is at stake!
Smee pointed his sword at me. "Off you go, Lassie." He sneered.
Wasn't he supposed to be the nice one?
Never the less, I stepped onto the plank, feeling nervous. I was poked and prodded until I got to the very end. Just then, the birds started singing, the flowers got brighter, and generally everything looked better.
Hook's grin got wider.
"He's back."
A/N I want two reviews, people, before I update. And since this is a cliffhanger, you want to know what happens, right?
