Sarah stood at the starboard side of the ship. By now they had returned to Neverland and it was still dark out. She looked down into the waters and saw the crocodile floating on the surface, its dinner plate sized eyes staring up at her. Then, Sarah did a peculiar thing.
She began to sing.
Her ghostly voice carried out over the water, entrancing the crocodile. The song filled the sky and swirled around the ship and all those near it. Mullins, thinking Sarah a siren, covered his ears with his hands to block out Sarah's melodious voice. Who was this girl who could charm the crocodile into such a dreamy state? Slowly the crocodile began to rise out of the water, as if to get closer to the beautiful singing. Then a terrifying thing happened.
Sarah's voice faltered.
The crocodile seemed to snap out of its dazed state. Sarah didn't even seem scared as the crocodile leapt at her, its jaws open wide. She merely pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes. Then, with snake like reflexes, Sarah's hand whipped out, grabbing the base of its neck. She squeezed a little and the crocodile went limp in her grip, hovering half out of the water, half immersed in the shimmering mirror. Sarah held it there for a moment, staring into its big, yellow eyes before dropping it back into the water. Whimpering, the crocodile swam off. The whole crew stared on. Smee stepped forward.
"Cap'n?" he whispered, coming up behind Hook.
"Mr.Smee," Hook said, never taking his eyes off Sarah, who was still staring out at he wide expanse of water before her, "prepare the guest cabin for Miss Murdoch."
"Aye, aye, Cap'n."
