Thank you all, my loyal reviewers. I give a special thanks to barbiegirl.
Ashlee just hung Peter there for over an hour, teasing the mermaids every once in a while by bending down the log a bit. Once, he could swear that he felt one of the mermaid's teeth on his foot. "So, think you've had enough Peter?" Ashlee yelled from where she sat, a small smile on her face. He narrowed his eyes at her and said something he would definetly regret later.
"You know Ashlee, I always knew you were different from Wendy and Jane, and I was right. You overreact so much! It was a mistake to bring you here!" He yelled. Ashlee's face went from smug to really hurt in seconds. Then his eyes widened. "Wait, Ashlee, I didn't mean tha-" She pulled him onto the land. Then she slapped him.
"Then if you regret ever showing me here, TAKE ME HOME!" She shouted, tears flowing down her face. Then she left Peter, his eyes wide, a bright red slap mark on his face, and still tied up. He saw his knife and shirt on the ground and cut the ropes. He slid on his shirt and flew away from the lagoon in search of Ashlee.
"ASHLEE! ASHLEE! WHERE ARE YOU?" He yelled over the island. There was no trace of the girl. Man... Why did I even say that? He continued to search for her everywhere. Unknowing to him, Ashlee floated above one of the many clouds of Neverland, crying uncontrollably. Her tears fell and were seen as no more than raindrops.
I hate you Peter... I hate you... Grandmum... mum... dad... nana three... I miss you all so much... Ashlee hugged her knees and looked at the island from over the cloud. It was still as beautiful and amazing as her Grandmum had described. Then she heard some yelling and a BOOM! What the- A cannonball shot into the cloud, nearly hitting her side. "Holy shit!" She screamed. Looking past the clouds and down below, she could see the pirates readying another cannonball.
Peter searched everywhere for her. His panic grew even more when he couldn't find her at the spring. Wendy's last words to him rang in his ears. Just... make sure she's safe, she is strong but sometimes she needs some guidence. Geez! Why did women have to be so... so... BOOM! The pirates shot another cannonball. Peter was confused, there wasn't anything aiming at him, but why are the pirates shooting cannon- A loud girlish scream was heard.
With Ashlee
The cannonball narrowly hit her, she could hear laughter below and orders to load more from a certain codfish. "FIRE!" Ashlee prepared for the worst and flew out of shooting range, straight into a puffy cloud. The whiteness of the cloud camoflauged her from the pirates. Relaxing, she greived a bit more before sucking up the last bit of her dignity. She smacked her cheeks, trying to get the sobs to stop coming out.
"Maybe... I don't belong here. Well... it's not like I've really belonged anywhere. Home isn't an option anymore. Those guys must have torn the place down by now. Guess I'll just kill myself or something..." She mumbled, still in depresssion.
"No!" Someone's voice came up from behind and grabbed her into a hug. "You are in no way killing yourself! I didn't mean any word of what I said! Really!" The redhead was truly panicking, if this girl, the granddaughter of his previous friends, he wouldn't be able to live with the thought that he caused it. Ashlee shook out of his grasp and pushed him away. Her eyes still wet with tears.
"Just leave me alone Peter! What I decide to do with my life is my decision!" She said, then flew away as fast as possible. Peter flew after her, yelling some things that weren't comprehendable over the rushing wind in her ears.
But she did hear his last word. "PIRATES!" Ashlee then stopped and looked where she was. Just outside of the pirates cove. A cannonball flew at her, but she dodged it. Peter dodged as well. Captian Hook produced a gun out of his coat and began to fire. One bullet just grazed her cheek, blood dripping out. Peter saw this and pulled out his knife. Circling the camp, he dove into the encampment and started to cause a riot.
Ashlee dove in after him, not wanting the boy to get hurt. All of a sudden, her arm stung like hell. A sword had made a long gash in her arm, blood seeping into the fabric of the sweatshirt. Ashlee's eye twitched in pain and she kneed the pirate in the 'happy zone'. Then, she took his sword and another one just laying on the ground. Ignoring the seering pain in her arm, she charged at the horde of pirates surrounding Captian Hook and Peter.
Ten minutes later
All of the pirates surrounding Hook and Peter were now in a bloody heap on the ground. Ashlee was beating the last pirate unconcious with a wooden paddle after the swords she had broke. She wiped the sweat off her brow once the pirate was out cold. "ASHLEE! BEHIND YOU!" She heard Peter yell out. Ashlee swung the paddle upwards behind her and suddenly, a pained groan came out from behind her.
Turning her head, Hook fell to the ground holding his crotch area. Peter seemed massively relieved. Ashlee nudged the codfish with her foot. He groaned loudly, proving that he was still concious. Swinging her foot back, she gave him a good kick in the face. He was now unconcious. Ashlee spat on the horrible pirate and walked away, not facing Peter as she clutched her bleeding arm painfully. Peter flew after her, confused but knew she needed help, even if she didn't want it.
