My gaze drifted up following the trunk of a large tree. At the the top of the tree entwined with the leaves was a wooden house. How do I do this? And why would she live here? Where's the big magical castle?
"A tree house? She lives here in a tree? Are you sure?" I asked turning to James.
He smiled at my remark, he kept his eyes on the treehouse.
'Why was you expecting some huge castle in the sky?' He smirked looking me dead in the eyes. I rolled my eyes at him. He turned away, his eyes looked more stern.
"Positive" he replied.
I shrugged and began to walk towards it.
"Woah woah woah" James grabbed my hand and pulled me to face him.
His touch gave me shivers.
"What is it?" I said slightly flustered.
He licked his lips quickly.
"You better let me go in first, Tink can be very... Unwelcoming at times, let me go in and explain who you are."
I glared at James with a bewildering look.
"But you're a lost boy won't she attack you?" I asked.
Again he licked him lips quickly.
"No. She has a pact with Pan, she can't hurt the boys"
I was cautious. Something didn't sit right with me. James was acting... Odd, well more odd than normal. I nodded and he went off shouting something about hiding in the shrubs. I obeyed and found a small place to hide.
I watched as James climbed up a ladder leading up to the tree. I say a ladder, it was just planks of wood that were nailed up the tree. Soon he disappeared.
I let my mind wander, who knows how long he would be gone, or if this Tink was even there. I mean I know this island hasn't got shops or other adults, but she could still be out doing something. My mind turned to James, and how strange he was just acting. He was fidgeting and he looked way too serious, as if something bad is about to happen. Maybe, he is bluffing, and maybe this is Pan's place, perhaps he has taken me here to gain Pans forgiveness. My eyes widen in fear. Would he do that too me? No he wouldn't, I can't afford to think like that.
I sat down in my hiding spot surrounded by bushes and flowers. My heart was racing and my mind was spinning. Fear filled my mind, what if this Tink had no way of getting to Mel?
'Stay calm Soph, just relax' mumbling to myself I began to pick the flowers and create a flower crown with them, It was mother who taught me how to do this...
'Now dear be more gentle, otherwise the flower petals will fall off.' Mother warned, her voice was soft and her belly was large, 'you can make a crown for your new baby brother or sister.' She placed a hand on her bulging belly.
'Yes mummy, I can't wait till the baby comes, I'll be the bestest big sister ever.' Exclaimed a young and innocent Sophie...
I miss her more than anything. What I wouldn't give for her to be here with me making this crown. Or for her to be around, so then she could of looked after Mel, and father wouldn't have gone mad and I would of never come to this stupid island. I curl up in her cloak that Killian gave to me. Killian. I wonder if he is searching for me. Or if he's sober enough to know that I've disappeared.
Perhaps I should return, maybe this quest is pointless...
'Keep alert men, Pan could be anywhere!' Ordered a voice in the distance.
I turned towards the voice. I know that voice anywhere. Killian.
'Shit' I muttered.
If I stayed here they'd find me for sure, it's not my greatest hiding spots, and they're pirates who are most likely trained to track things their Captain wants!
I had to think fast, I'd have to make a run for the tree and climb up it. Whatever James was saying to that fairy would have to wait, there are bigger issues at hand.
I jumped up and hoisted up my skirt and began to leg it to the tree. My hair was flying behind me and my stuff kept hitting my back. I slammed into the tree and began to climb with all my strength.
The voices inside began to get louder.
'Now Tink, you'll play along in my little game.' James' voice was small but deadly. It made me slow down ever so slightly.
'And if I don't?' A female voice spoke. Her accent was strange, more rougher than mine and less posh.
'Well things would get messy, need I remind you of our last encounter.' He sounded so cruel. So evil.
'You want me to join you, to be a part of your games, this poor girl you're tricking, what will you do to her?' The women cried.
'She could be...fun' He laughed. It wasn't his fun laugh, it was more sinister. It sent shivers down my spine. I was the she. And I was not going to be his "fun" girl.
'You won't hurt her will you?' Tink stuttered.
'Oh we both know the answer to that Tink. I'll do with her what I want.' James hissed.
I had stopped in my tracks, clinging on the edge of the tree.
'Because Peter Pan, always gets what he wants.' He spat.
Everything stopped. Pan. I had been with Pan the whole time. I was so stupid. No, I was in danger. My eyes widened and my heart was racing.
'You monster Pan, that poor girl!'
She's right, he is a monster, I thought I could trust him.
I began to race down the tree. I had to get to Killian. I had to or I could end up dead.
I jumped to the floor with a thump, I didn't look back but I know that they heard me up in that tree. My legs began to sprint towards Killian. Dodging rocks and trees and bushes, I ran.
'SOPHIE? ARE YE OUT THERE LASS, PLEASE COME BACK TO ME' Killian's voice echoed throughout the forest.
He was near, his voice warmed me.
'KILLIAN, KILLIAN IM HERE KILLIAN!' I shouted at the top of my lungs running towards him.
'SOPHIE?' He shouted.
'UNCLE PLEASE HURRY!' I yelled back.
I heard him and his men running.
'SOPHIE WE'RE COMING!' Mark yelled. Mark. He came.
My breathing was heavy, as I ran out into a clearing; I dared for a second to look back behind me. No one was there, just the trees swaying like crazy in the wind. As I turned my head back around I saw him. Pan. Standing in my path only a few centimetres away from me. I crashed straight into him and was thrown far back to the ground. I landed on my front, my hair sprawled out everywhere.
'Tusk tusk' Pan mocked. 'Just where are you going?' He crouched down at my head.
I looked up at him. The charming and kind James was gone, all was left was that evil grin and sinister look in his eyes. Although his face remained the same, everything about him was so different. So horrible.
'SOPHIE!' I heard Killian yell.
I turned to look at him, still laying on the ground, Pans head also followed the voice.
'Ah Hook, does she belong to you?' Pan spat, grinning at my uncle.
'Leave her alone Pan!' My uncle shouted drawing out his sword and running forward.
I looked at Pan, he was still distracted by my uncle and his men. Now was my chance. I slowly moved my hand to my dagger, and pulled it out of its sheath. I had to be fast.
'Such a pretty thing too Hook. You should look after your treasures with more care.' He mocked.
'Don't you lay a finger on her you brat!' Killian spat.
'Oh, and what will you do, you're a one handed pirate with a drinking problem.' Pan laughed.
Now was my chance, I got into a position where I could easily jump up.
'And you're a liar in tights.' I spat.
Pan looked down at me and leaned in closer. Good.
'What was that.' He said, his voice filled with anger.
I smirked at him.
'You know, you don't look good from this angle.' I hissed back at him. I jumped up and sliced his cheek with my dagger, he threw his hands to his cheek and I kicked him in the stomach so he fell to the floor. I began to run towards Killian with all my might.
The pirates were cheering and screaming. My grin was reaching my ears.
But their cheers soon tuned to cries.
Pan was behind me.
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him.
The cut on his cheek was gushing with blood, and his eyes were almost red with anger.
'Big mistake.' He lashed out. His grip tightened on my wrist. And he forced me to the floor.
'Let go of me!' I cried trying to claw his hand off of me.
He smirked.
With his other hand he grabbed my face, squeezing it hard. He cracked my head towards Killian and Mark and the others.
Pan leaned down and whispered in my ear.
'Say bye bye now'
A cloud of green smoke coated me.
'UNCLE!' I yelled as it consumed me.
'SOPHIE!' his voice was faint.
And then it went dark.
Well there you go!
I know I finally updated this!
IM SO SORRY I'VE HAD WRITERS BLOCK!

And Sophie just pissed him off.
What do you think will happen to her?
And after all that she still didn't even get to talk to Tink!
