Chapter 10: Selfish Ways

Jack led me down to the beach, passed the trees that lined the backs of the wooden buildings.

"So, where ye from lass? Not around here for sure."

"I'm from London, England."

"How on earth did ye get here?"

"Umm… we were shipwrecked."

"Where's the rest of yer crew?"

"I don't know. I lost them here on the island."

"I could help ye find them."

"That's nice of you, but I'll be fine."

I looked out over the water, the moon and night sky reflected on its surface. I felt Jack's eyes on me and it made me uncomfortable.

"When ye find yer crew maybe ye could all come back here and stay on the island with the rest of us."

"I'll probably have to go back to London, but we could come visit. You did save my life right?"

He smiled. "Aye, sounds like a plan."

Suddenly I saw something fly across the sky in the reflection on the water. I looked up to see Peter flying down onto the beach.

"Rena!" He landed on the beach to my right.

Jack pulled a dagger out of his belt and pointed it at Peter. "Peter Pan!"

Peter looked at Jack. "Who's this?"

Jack pushed me out of the way and slashed at Peter. Peter pulled out his own weapon and blocked Jack's hit.

"Hook will reward me greatly when I kill ye Pan."

"Wait, stop it!" I shouted as they started fighting.

They moved away from each other and looked over at me.

"Yer friends with this flying rat?"

"Well, not exactly… he's my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?"

"Sorry, I shouldn't use modern terms. How do I say it so you understand?"

Peter glanced at me. "The word you want is lover."

"Yeah…"

Jack's eyes widened. "Yer one of his lasses? I can't believe I helped ye. Snake-eyes should have done away with ye."

"Jack…"

"That's Hook to ye wench."

Peter raised his dagger, pointing it at Jack. "Don't you speak to her like that again you miniature codfish."

"I'll feed ye to the fishes Pan."

Peter grabbed my hand and flew up into the air, pulling me away from the safety of the ground. I couldn't bring myself to fly on my own and Peter wasn't picking me up so I just hung there from his hand. He flew up to one of the ledges and set me down before landing beside me.

"What the hell did you think you were doing?" He shouted at me.

"You were sleeping and I was bored so the Lost Boys asked me to come with them on a little trip. I didn't see the harm in going so I agreed."

"You didn't see the harm? They could have killed you. That boy could have slit your throat or something."

"I'll have you know he was perfectly nice until you showed up."

"Of course he was, he's Hook's son!"

I froze and stared at him. "What?"

Peter sighed. "Jack is Hook's son. He's just like him; he gets the best of people. One of these days I'm going to get him and he'll be exactly like James Hook."

I stared off into space. No wonder they had acted so hostile towards each other. But I didn't know who he was; he didn't have to get so mad.

"How was I supposed to know that? You can't be mad at me for that."

"You shouldn't have been there in the first place! You shouldn't have gone anywhere without me."

I stared at him. "That's what this is about? I can go wherever I want without you Peter; I'm not on your leash at your beck and call! You're just being a…"

"A what?"

"A selfish child!"

"Selfish? And bringing you and the Lost Boys here was selfish I guess."

"Yes! You just want everyone to come here and stay with you so you don't have to grow up and so you aren't alone. If you were really being selfless you would think more about what's best for others and if you ever really cared about a girl you would do whatever it takes to make her happy despite your fears! And she would do the same…" I sighed. "I fly here almost everyday for you Peter and I'm deathly afraid of heights. My heart beats faster, I feel like I'm going to be sick and I get so scared I can't even move, but here I am. I pushed through it for you. What have you done?"

Peter just stared at me and seemed to be at a loss for words. "Fine, if that's how you feel then maybe you should just go."

"That's your solution? You can't face the problem so you're just going to run away?"

"Hey, I'm just a selfish child, what else do you expect."

"You don't even what to change or anything. No wonder everyone leaves you in the end!"

He glared at me and turned away, crossing his arms over his chest like a pouting child. "I don't care; I've got everything I need here in Never-land!"

I stared at him, tears filling my eyes. "I guess I'll just go then." I turned away and tried to fly, but I didn't move an inch. "I can't fly…"

Peter remained silent behind me. I turned and looked at him, finding his eyes on me but he quickly looked away.

"You're being ridiculous…"

"Aren't you gone yet?"

I sighed in frustration and stepped off the ledge. I fell a bit but flew up into the air. I dipped and dived every once and awhile, unable to keep myself steady. I stopped before flying away from the island, looking back and realizing my stuff was still in Peter's room.

Suddenly something came flying at me from the pirate's town below. It was large and hard and crashed painfully into my ribs. I screamed in pain and fear as I fell toward the ground.

As I fell holding my side a pair of arms wrapped around me, saving me from falling to my death.

"Rena!"


Oh, cliffhangers, how I love thee xD I'll try to post the next chapter as soon as possible.

So we have a little drama between Peter and Rena, I wonder how they'll resolve this or if they will... And whoa, Jack is Hook's son! Le Gasp! What will his part be in this?

Well, hope you enjoyed, thanks for reading.
