Chapter Ten
Captain Hook clears his throat before he explains his plain to Tiger Lilly. "I want you to lead them off on a wild goose chase." Tiger Lilly stares down to the ground with guilt clawing at her chest.
"How?" She asks with her voice stained with condemnation.
"Lead him to Skull Rock." Hook answers while craving shapes on the tree stump with his hook.
"The orb is at Skull Rock. Why would I lead him to the orb?" Tiger Lilly asks stilling not looking up at Hook.
"We are moving the orb back to the ship." Hook says with a corrupt crooked smile. Tiger Lilly turns her head to the side trying to hide her tears.
"You want me to lead him to his death..." Tiger Lilly says croaky. "I won't do it." Tiger Lilly says bitterly snapping her head to look at Hook. Hot angered tears stream down her cheeks.
"You don't have a choice. It's either save his life or your tribes." Hook says menacing. Tiger Lilly lets her head drop with defeat. A small sob escapes her lips.
"It's a tuff choice, I know. To either choose the man you love, or the people you love. It's a shame he is already in-love with another woman, and pledge to be married to her. It's an obvious choice." Hook says faking sympathy. Tiger Lilly shallows the dry air as she tries to choose.
"It'd hurt Wendy. It would devastate her..." Tiger Lilly says with conflicted emotions. "Why did he leave? He vowed he would never grow up, and then all of sudden Wendy appears, and he leaves."
"Love, my dear. It's a wicked thing." Hook answers cooly. Tiger Lilly thinks on the words Peter said about being in-love. It didn't seem that wicked...it actually seemed blissful. Tiger Lilly thinks to herself as her heart feels itself dying.
"You promised that if I do this, you would not kill my people." Tiger Lilly says trying reaffirm his words.
"Yes. I promise as long as you bring me, Peter Pan." Hook says with his voice honeyed. Tiger Lilly cast her eyes downward knowing her decision is wrong. Hook smiles wicked while he crosses his fingers behind his back.
"I'll do it..." Tiger Lilly whispers to where only Hook can hear her because she was afraid of the her betrayal to Peter.
Peter hears the betrayal in wind while it whisk past his ear. Wendy looks over at Peter while they fly a little bit above the canopies of the tree tops. Peter sees Wendy looking at him through the corner of his eye. Peter smiles at her.
They land softly on the ground by the entrance to the Indian Village. Wendy still feels the cool wind blowing on her face while they walk into the village.
Peter stops shorts when he sees Tiger Lilly running up to him. "Peter!" Tiger Lilly hollers while she acts out the scene Hook has written for her to play.
"Yes?" Peter asks with an amuse smile. Tiger Lilly hearts cringes when she sees Peter smile at her. He trusts her and she knows it.
"I know where the orb is." Tiger Lilly says with false excitement. Wendy looks at Tiger Lilly with hopeful eyes.
"Where?" Wendy asks hasty. Peter shallows knowing the people who have betrayed him are around him.
"Yes, tell us." Rufio chimes in from behind them. Peter, Wendy, and Tiger Lilly look at Rufio while he walks up to join the circle. Peter turns his attention back to Tiger Lilly with a raised eyebrow and question in his eye.
"It's at Skull Rock." Tiger Lilly says breathy starring into Peter's green eyes while praying he doesn't see past her betrayal.
Peter looks past the top of Tiger Lilly's head with relief. "I knew it." He whispers to himself. Peter looks at Tiger Lilly with suspicion when he remembers what Rufio told him. "How did the orb get to Skull Rock?" Peter asks with his eyes narrowing on her.
"The pirates." Tiger Lilly answers quickly feeling her heart beat quicken.
"That's a lie!" Peter yells out of suppress emotions. Tiger Lilly jumps from his out burst. Tiger Lilly's eyes scan frantically around to find a new lie to tell him.
"No, it's not. We, the indians, took the orb away from Hook's reach in hoping to hide it away from the pirates. We are not betraying you, Peter." Tiger Lilly says calmly while the lie dances off her tongue.
"I'm sorry..." Peter says with a faint smile. Wendy looks at Peter with somber eyes knowing he is breaking more rapidly than before.
"We will go to Skull Rock tomorrow at sundown." Peter declares before walking back into the forest to think. Wendy eyes flicker while she watches Peter walk away. Rufio and Wendy glance at each other uneasy about the situation. Tiger Lilly shallows while she tilts her head down in shame.
Peter leans on a tree with his thoughts planing out tomorrow's battle plan. He knew he wasn't going to get the orb with out a fight. Peter stares up at the moon as his thoughts drift away from the planning. "Don't go." A voice in side Peter's mind whispers. Peter looks around to see no one around.
"Who's there?" Peter asks uncomfortable with the darkness now surrounding him.
"Don't Go, Peter. If you go your future will not be so happy." The voice warns darkly. Peter knew who this was speaking to him. It was him. His shadow.
"How do you know what my future will be?" Peter asks low. The shadow appears in front of him.
"I have seen the plans. I know who is betraying you. I'm protecting you, Peter Pan. At Skull Rock is where your demise lays." His shadows says.
"I'll die?" Peter asks with a scoffing tone.
"No. You will fall. Your good heart will die." The shadows says with a growl. Peter looks away refusing to believe.
"I don't believe you." Peter growls angrily. The shadow mocks Peter of his anger.
"You're anger is already getting the best of you. I warn you Peter Pan, if you choose this path... Wendy will die." The shadow warns. Peter feels his lips quiver at the mention of Wendy.
"I won't let that happen!" Peter exclaims with panic.
"Also Peter, you think your old friend is on your side. But I swear to you , she is deceiving you. You are following a dead man's trail." With that the shadow flew up into the sky leaving Peter alone with his mad panic filling his mind. Peter looks down to the ground not believing his own shadow of the prophecy told. Peter feels cold tears drip down his cheeks some how knowing the shadow's words were true. No matter how hard he tries to deny it, he knows it is true.
Peter feels arms wrap around his waist making him feel less tense. "How do you know to come at the right time?" Peter asks feeling Wendy press her cheek against his back.
"Because I know you." Wendy whispers low to him. The words of his shadow fill his mind while he feels the warmth of Wendy spread around his body.
"I will kill Hook." Peter says venomously as his body trembles with bitter hatred. Wendy releases frighten. Peter turns around to face Wendy. His lips tremble while he cups Wendy's cheeks in the palms of his hands.
"I won't let anyone hurt you, I swear to you." Peter says passionately almost mad. Wendy stares at Peter with tears lining the rim of her eyes knowing something is very wrong. Peter kisses Wendy softly on the lips before he turns to walk away. Wendy shallows with concern for Peter as he walks away. She'll never truly understand how he became this way.
Captain Hook watches his men carefully put the orb into the box. His raven greasy curly hair flaps in the wind with his red bandana tide tight on top.
"Be careful with the orb!" Hook hollers harshly while his men fumble with the box. Starky walks up next to Hook with a nervous feeling about Peter.
"What if the plan doesn't work?" Starky asks uneasy. Hook glares at Starky.
"It will work. Pan will die." Hook vows with a stoic eyes.
"I don't mean to be a downer sir, but what if he has help. You know from the island..." Starky says knowing Pan's power. Hook clenches his teeth with jealousy.
"He won't be the ruler for long! Soon I tell you soon there will be a new leader!" Hook growls with a snarl revealing his yellow teeth. Starky stares out in sky knowing what happen to Elizabeth when she wanted the power. Starky knows the island chose Peter to be the ruler, and no one else.
Hook puts back on his red pirates hat before he steps off the rock into the dory with the orb secure in the box. "A storm is a brewing. And it's a war..." One of the pirates says to Captain Hook low as he stares out to the mermaid waters.
"Keep an eye on the mermaids!" Hook warns scanning the dark waters. The men draw their swords knowing at any given the time the demons could come out. The waters ripple around the dory. The boat keeps rowing.
"Hook..." A mysterious echo voice whispers in the wind. "Come out for a swim." The beautiful seducing voice whispers by the boat. A beautiful creature pops out of the water. Her eyes were blazing blue with her skin as pale as the moon. Her blonde hair was plastered to her head it was long enough to cover her bare chest.
"I know you like to come out for a swim." The seducing mermaid whispers while swimming closer to the boat. The moon light shines down on the water revealing the pod of mermaids. The beautiful creatures pop out of the water with a hunger for blood.
The pirates stare at the beautiful creatures with amazement even Captain Hook was in their trans. The blonde mermaid name Sapphire, Peter named her that for her eyes, puts her scaly hands on the side of the dory by Hook.
"I can show you everything you never seen before..." Sapphire whispers seducing Hook. Hook moves closer to the side of the boat as all of the other pirates do. "Closer..." Hook feels the wet lips of Sapphire on his. She wraps her arms around his neck dragging him closer to the water.
When Hook feels the cool salt water touch his face he fight Sapphire off, but her hold was to strong. A mermaid with raven hair grabs hold of the box. Hook finally breaks free from Sapphire's hold.
"She's taking the orb!" Hook yells at his men breaking them out of their trans. The men try to grab the mermaid but she was to fast.
Before Hook could do anything he was taken down into the water. The Mermaids hiss as they tip the boat over making all the pirates fall into the water. The pirates let out a desperate cry when the mermaid attack them.
Under water Hook fights off Sapphire under water. His lunges ache while pulls out his sword. Sapphire bites her fangs into Hook shoulder causing him to let out a moan of pain. Bubbles surround him while he slings Sapphire off of him. Hook then soon stabs Sapphire in the shoulder. Sapphire screams before she swims away. All the mermaids scramble away.
The pirates flip over the dory and swim back to the shore of skull rock. "Those bloody demons!" One of the pirates curse "Damn them all!"
"They got the orb!" Hook yells shaky. Starky swims up to the shore half dead with a dead mermaid dragging in the water behind him.
"No, I got it back." Starky growls flopping the mermaid on the shore with the box. Hook smiles proudly.
"You never fail me, Starky." Hook says with overwhelming pain and excitement. "Pan and the rest of the Damn island will be destroyed once and for all!" Hook declares while the blood streams down his arm.
