His response made my heart stop. I looked at him, shocked and confused as to why he would want me, an annoying little girl, with no experience of fighting,sailing or whatever else these pirates did for a living.

"I only think its fair!" Hook exclaimed,standing up and walking around once more. "I mean, these boys are very useful! We would hate to lose them! They are very valuable, a good investment lets say. If we were to give Peter our most valuable possessions, we would expect something even more valuable in return." He touched my cheek, but I was in too much shock to flinch in disgust.

"Where are they?" I asked,staring at Hooks empty chair,refusing to look him in the evil green eyes.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that!"

"Well then I'm afraid the deal's off." I stated, getting up from the chair and making my way to the closed door.

"You know you're making a big mistake Catelyn.." Hook said. I could feel him staring at my back.

"Then I'm afraid I'm just going to have to live with it." I replied coldly, swinging the door open and walking out onto the deck.

"Shit…" I whispered to myself,my hands combed my long hair as I walked my "room". I slammed the door shut and punched it,then regretting it the moment my hand met the oak frame. I began to rub my knuckles as the pain seered through my hand and up my arm.

"So he wants…you?" Peter whispered from outside the window. I nodded,still quite shocked by the whole situation. "I knew this was a bad idea!" He continued,pushing me out of the way and into the room. "You're coming back now and we're going to find out where the Lost Lost Boys are without his help!" He grabbed my hand and began to walk us back out of the window.

"We won't be able to find them." I whispered,stopping still,still holding his warm hand in mine. "This is the only way."

"You're in danger here I can't let that happen to yo-"

"Peter. I was in danger when I came here, it makes no difference now. I'll say yes, then find out where they are. Then we'll meet up at the end of the day and we'll fly away. Okay?" I asked, looking him in the eyes so he understood that I was serious.

"Okay…" he said, looking back. "I really don't like this."

"I know you don't,neither do I. But it's the only thing we can do right now."

I squeezed his hand as reassurance,just like he once did to me-a time which felt as if it were a million years ago-and leaned in slightly to give him a quick peck on the cheek.

"Now go, I'll see you soon enough."

"I see you've changed your mind" Hook observed as I sat down in the chair opposite him,this time more confident for I had a plan.

"Yes. You're right." I replied, my hand gripping the nearest object to it. In this case it was the dress I had acquired from him.

"I'm glad you've come to your senses Catelyn. You were always going to be on the losing team if you supported Peter." He said, gently picking up a strand of my hair. I had to stop myself from gagging in disgust.

"Actually,I gave up on Peter a while ago. As soon as he abandoned me, I knew he couldn't be trusted." I lied, looking up at him to look genuine and sincere.

"Then why did you take so long to accept my offer?"

"I just needed to see what I could gain from the situation. Sure, I find out the whereabouts of some boys,but that's useless to me; I have no interest in them. I want something more in order to stay in your services." I replied cooly, trying to keep calm whilst also sounding confident.

"And what might that be?" He asked, waving his hook in the air as he sat down.

"I want to know how you're doing it.. Turning them into adults. " I stated, my eyes locked with his.

"Remember on Skull Rock? When you broke into my laboratory?"

"Of course, I almost choked to death in there." I could remember it as clearly as if it was in front of my eyes. The choking sensation in my lungs,as I felt my legs collapse and fall on the ground.

"Exactly." He said as an evil smile spread across his face. "If one was to breathe in enough of the gas, they collapse. The Nightshade, the fairy blood and a special ingredient turns them into adults. Is that explanation satisfactory for you?"

"What's the 'special ingredient'? I asked, suddenly interested yet slightly disturbed at his unusual excitement.

"Oh you really do not want to know that." His voice booming loud and low in the small, confined space. He stood up placing his hand on the table,whilst leaning across the table, his voice turning into a whisper. " You really do not."

I stood up, my nose almost touching his, with my hands copying his threatening gesture. "If you don't tell me;I'm leaving."

"Are you sure about that?" He asked, raising a bushy eyebrow.

"Yes." I said confidently,placing my hands on my hips. "And there's nothing you can do to stop me."

Almost as if on qeue, two pirates entered Hook's 'office' and grabbed me by the arms. I began to protest, throwing my body from left to right.

"Hook!" I yelled,still trying to break free. "You won't get away with this!"

I expected him to reply with some clichéd villain comeback like "But I already have! [Insert crazy villain laugh here]" but surprisingly, he didn't. Instead he walked towards me,moving my hair out of my face with his shiny hook. He leaned in and I thought he was going to creepily whisper into my ear like he normally did,but I was wrong.

His lips brushed against my cheek, and all I could do was stand still, confused,shocked and violated by the action.

"We used to use old Wendy. But I guess new Wendy will work just fine."

His sentence echoed in my mind long after I was thrown and locked away.

Sorry for it taking so long! I've had assessments and tests and goodness knows what else! I write as often as I can, so you'll have to be patient! I haven't got internet at the moment so I can't read the reviews etc so sorry about that!
