Author's Note: I wanted this chapter to be out sooner, but I have been drained from writing and I had to do some research for this chapter because I could not remember exactly what happened in the movie. Anyway, thank you to Larki13 and lovepan for reviewing! This is the second to last chapter! I hope that you all will enjoy it!
Chapter 4: Tick-Tock
The air was heavy and thick with fog, so thick that the clouds hung heavy on Tinkerbell's shoulders that evening. She hugged herself tightly after a cool breeze brushed against her body and she looked up to see where her feet guided her too.
"Skull Rock." Tinkerbell shivered. She hated coming to this ghastly place on a normal day because of the eerie aura that the caves produced, but this was the last place that Tinkerbell could think of that Peter might be at. She walked along the cliff's edge and once she found a sturdy area, she sat herself down and hung her feet over the edge.
Tinkerbell reminisced the last time Peter was at Skull Rock. She remembered the time when Wendy and Peter Pan saved Tiger Lily from Captain Hook's grasp. Even though, Peter had banned her from their hideout, that did not mean that she could not follow him. "I was always there for him." Tinkerbell sighed, "I even saved him from that bomb." Tinkerbell glanced down and saw the good ol' crocodile that ate Hook's left hand. "You know," Tinkerbell started talking to the crocodile, "Hook is a codfish." She crossed her arms in frustration, "It serves him right that his hand was eaten by you, he is anything but a man of his word!" She sighed again, "But, he might be my last hope if I am to find Peter."
The crocodile's eyes turned sympathetic for Tinkerbell as if he understood every word.
"I guess I really messed up back then." Tinkerbell sighed, "I remember telling the Lost Boys to shoot Wendy down because I was so jealous, and now look at me," she pointed at her body, "Here I am as a human, and I am as unhappy as ever." Tinkerbell sighed, "I should have never made that stupid wish. I hate walking and my hips are humongous." She scooted herself away from the edge of the cliff and pulled her legs tightly into her body, "If I could only find Peter Pan. He would know what to do." Tinkerbell felt a small tear drip down her cheek and she wiped it away quickly before anymore could fall. "There's no point of crying. I just have to be strong." She leaned over the edge again and smiled at the crocodile, "Thanks for listening to me rant."
That wily old crocodile smiled back with a wide glimmering white grin.
"Take it easy, boy! We're close to the dock!"
"That sounds like the codfish," Tinkerbell hid behind rock that was close to the cliff's edge, "Smells like it too."
"Are you sure that she's in here, Captain?" Mr. Smee's teeth chattered in a frightened manner.
"Of course she is," Captain Hook surely stated, "And since we have Pan, she will have to show up sooner or later!" Hook smacked the boy's back proudly as he rowed closer and closer to the shore.
"What is Peter doing with him?" Tinkerbell glared, "Something's wrong." In the corner of her eye she saw the crocodile slowly swim towards the tiny row boat. "Atta boy." She smirked and inched her way closer to the dock.
The two pirates and Peter Pan docked and climbed out of the boat. Tinkerbell was crouched a few feet from them and she continued to watch them from afar.
"The blasted pixie!" Hook blew up, "Once I find her, I am going to strip her wings right off of her back!"
"But Captain," Mr. Smee interrupted, "I thought that you just wanted her pixie dust?"
"Of course Mr. Smee," the captain curled his onyx mustache, "But once I am done with her, there will be no point of keeping her. So, I am going to kill both her and Pan."
"Not on my watch!" Tinkerbell popped out of her hiding spot and approached Hook angrily.
"Oh dear," Hook sighed sarcastically and toyed with his hook, "Whatever shall I do?" He glared and ordered, "Hold her down Pan."
"What?" Tinkerbell gasped and felt Pan's arms slipped around her shoulders. Even though she was a human, Tinkerbell was still shorter and not as strong as Peter Pan.
"Good work, Pan." Hook pulled out his one-shot pistol and aimed the carefully, "Just hold her there nice and tight."
"Peter," Tinkerbell panicked, "Let me go, Peter, please let me go!" She squirmed when Hook cocked the gun, "Peter, please! Let go of me!" She screamed.
"Any last words, Tinkerbell?" The evil captain growled.
"What do you want from me!?" Tinkerbell screamed, "Whatever it is you can have it!"
"I can't have what I want until you're dead." Hook's finger gripped the trigger.
Tinkerbell thought hard about what he wanted, "Fairy...?" She shook her head no, "Magic...?" She shook it again.
Hook pulled the trigger and there was a loud boom from the pistol. Tinkerbell shouted when she realized, "Pixie dust! ACK!" Tinkerbell tightly shut her eyes and fell to the ground.
"BLAST YOU PETER PAN!"
"Huh?" Tinkerbell opened her eyes and found herself unharmed. She turned back towards Peter and saw him flying above the Captain and taunting him.
"You think you could win that easily?" Peter laughed and shoved Hook into the water where the crocodile eagerly waited for his meal.
"EEYOW!" Captain Hook screamed, "Mr. Smee! Mr. Smee!"
"I'm coming Captain! I'm coming!" Mr. Smee jumped into the row boat and rowed as fast as he could towards his Captain. Peter Pan scooped up Tinkerbell in his arms and flew out of Skull Rock.
