A/N: Sorry if it's a little late this week I promise next week it will be earlier! (I don't own any characters)
Wendy and John walked back into the cave to find that the boys had yet again isolated Peter from their circle. Peter sat, leaning against the rock wall staring hatefully at the bunch.
"Anything happen while we were out?" John asked taking a glance over at Peter.
"We're back where we started," Tootles tiredly answered. Wendy and John looked questionably at each other, had their prediction been right?
"I thought it would help to question him about us, or you two and Michael, but he doesn't remember anything. Just that he has to take you to Hook," Nibs fully explained.
"Like what Tootles said, back to square one," Slightly said in a defeated manner.
"Wendy, if our guess is right, we shouldn't do anything to get his memories back…"
"No, there has to be a way for him to remember us, there has to be!" She was starting to get hysterical as tears blurred her vision. The boys immediately felt bad for her; they knew of her love for Peter and they wished for things to get better. The sight of everything made Nibs angry, so he confronted Peter. He grabbed his left shoulder and slammed it into the wall to get his attention.
"What was that for?" Peter yelled.
"You're going to tell me everything you remember!"
"I told you, all I remember is getting my orders to capture the girl and bring her back!"
"Orders from who?" He slammed his shoulder again.
"Nibs you're going to dislocate his shoulder," Slightly said as he came up behind him. Nibs ignored him and repeated his question.
"My captain, James!"
"I think you mean Hook! Captain James Hook of the Jolly Roger, you sliced off his right hand and fed it to the crocodile and he replaced it with a hook! You always call him a codfish and make fun of his crew…"
"Nibs stop!" John warned. "We can't make him remember everything, or else!"
"Or else what?" Curly asked with a slightly scared tone. This made everyone look at John as if waiting for the answer.
"I-I don't know," he stuttered but he was quick to keep their attention. "But you saw how drastic his mood change was before. That was when he remembered small meaningless things. What happens if he remembers everything at once?"
"Hook…"Wendy muttered in the silence that ensued. Now everyone was looking at her. "That's the answer, we need Hook; he has the answers to our questions!" Everyone thought Wendy had surely lost it.
"Hook, the man who currently has Peter out to get you Hook?" Slightly questioned. "Why on earth would he have the answers to our questions?"
"Just think about it, he's prevented Peter from remembering him. He told me himself that he hasn't the knowledge as to why Peter's been loyal to him…"
"Then how can we assume he holds the answers?" Nibs sternly asked.
"Why else do you think Hook hasn't let Peter remember? Peter even told me that he thinks the same, Hook isn't letting him remember for a reason, and we're going to find out what it is," she marched over to Peter.
"And what do you think you're doing?" John asked as he rushed quickly to Wendy's side.
"Peter's our best option of getting back safely to Hook. I was going to help him up so he could lead us to him."
"And what do you suppose will happen to us once we get to Hook? He isn't just going to give us the answers we need."
"John's right, he'll want something in return," Slightly added from where he stood. There was a silence that quickly filled the room as Wendy thought, her arms folded across her chest.
"You're all foolish if you think that my captain will answer any of your questions," Peter seethed from where he sat. Wendy gave a small scowl to Peter before giving her idea.
"It's simple, Hook takes me hostage again, and boys you overrun the ship and take charge," she said nonchalantly. Everyone gasped at her, most of the lost boys giving her open mouths.
"You must be mad," Slightly muttered.
"Take charge of Hook's ship without Peter?" Tootles questioned.
"That's an almost impossible task…" Curly started.
"Don't you all worry about Hook," Wendy tried to reassure the group.
"Wendy, you won't just have Hook to worry about, you also have Peter. You can't take the both of them on by yourself," John stated.
"Well, we've got to try something."
"It may work…" Nibs started, a plan vehemently forming in his mind. "If Peter directs us to where the ship is, we convince Hook to take us aboard, and from there threaten to kill Peter…" a wave of gasps interrupted Nibs from his plan. "Just listen, listen; we threaten him to get the answers we need from Hook." Nibs then walked up to Wendy and John and whispered faintly so Peter didn't overhear. "Hook will have no choice but to give us our answers. If Peter dies, Neverland is over."
"What if Hook expects us to kill him though?" Wendy questioned.
"He won't want it all to end like this, and the fact that he hasn't taken advantage of Peter's memory loss and just killed him, means that he never wanted to." They took a minute to think through the plan before speaking.
"I say lads, what do you think? Are we going to get our answers?" John exclaimed. He we greeted by a wave of cheers from the boys and Wendy. "Then let's go find us some pirates!"
