To say that Wendy was shocked was a understatement when she saw the face of Captain James Dewinter. Her face grew pale and her heart began to beat so rapidly she feared she was going pass out before all her guests.

"Miss Darling it is a pleasure to see you again" spoke the Captain as he bowed before Wendy and Adele.

Adele and Charles both looked at each other awkwardly unaware of the previous encounter between Miss Darling and Captain Dewinter. Wendy curtzied before the Captain and replied "Indeed Captain it has been many years as you can see I am no longer that little girl"

Dewinter cocked his head slighlty and gave a small chuckle; he then drew his attentions to his sister Adele. "Sister."

"James...We need to talk it is of a great importance"answered Adele as she grabbed his hook for a hand. James saw the look of worry over his lost limb and he also saw something in eyes he hadn't seen before fear. She was like him in so many ways you'd scarely believe it. Too see that look of fear on his sister's face truly worried him. James simply nodded.

He turned his head towards Charles.

"Pardon me for a moment Mr Quillercouch"

And then he placed his gaze towards Wendy

"Miss Darling"

Her beauty had calmed him from his worry of Adele.

Adele and James walked out of the main hall and into the garden.

"Where the bloody hell have you been all these years?" answered Adele as she stood shaken. "I thought you were dead! For ten years I have thought you died at sea and what the bloody hell happened to your hand?"

"Adele I was lost on a Island and as for this" he raised his Hook to his face "This is what I recieved of one of the locals. There was a fight of course and the boy cut of my hand." He looked at his steel hand "It's rather usual for such common day uses such as combing my hair"

She retorted "Sounds more like a favor"

He glanced at her infuriated by her response. "A favor? The boy cut of my hand threw it to a crocodile which ate; since then the crocodile had been licking it's lips for the rest of me. Now can you honestly call that a favor?"

He grabbed Adele pushed her against the wall of the manor with his hook against her throat.

She placed her cool forget me not against his and slightly chuckled before responding. "I see your temper hasn't changed at all brother."

He let her go when he saw how large her stomach had become.

"You've put weight on dear sister; very bad form really doesn't suit you."

"As ever James a man full of compliments; know this is what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm pregnant. It's Charles Quillercouch."

James looked at her uneasy he knew his sister could be a flirt when she wanted but never had he imagined this. "Adele. Why?"

She burst into tears before "I didn't agree to this James. I was raped by him and this other mysterious woman. I'm 2 month gone and i don't know what to do. He is a vile man James he intends on marrying Wendy purely for her fortune and then casting her upon the streets. The poor girl has already suffered enough with both her parents dead . Look Wendy knows I'm pregnant I told her tonight. She was shocked and I don't know what to do James."

James was lost to his little sister's tale that all he could do was hug.

Then his eyes turned red.

"I'll KILL HIM. "

"No James please don't. If you kill him; you'll get locked up and I'll never see you again!" cried Adele in hysterics

He knew his sister was couldn't bare the thought of being away from her again she was his only family left. His mind began to work away at a plan of revenge against Charles Quillercouch.

He turned his gaze to the building and saw in the window Wendy Darling watching him. He had to save her somehow. But how?
