Percia Pan: Welcome to Civilization
Chapter Fourteen: Ashton
Percy's POV
"How is that possible?" James asked me.
I motioned for my dagger to return to me and it did. I put it in its sheath and looked at James. "...Somehow, he came back in time..." I replied.
He looked at Hook. "Why?"
Hook sighed. "I needed to change something..."
"Change what?!"
"Peter's death," he shot a glare at my father, "When I became the next Pan, I accidently killed him, Percy never forgave me... Apparently, she lied when she said she'd always come back... I've been trying to get back to this day to make it so that Percy would become the next Pan... If she killed her father, the only person she could blame would be herself..."
"But you're the one that brought me to Neverland in the first place..." I said, "If you didn't... this wouldn't have happened."
"But I wanted the memories... I wanted to keep you in my life, you cared so much about me and that was all I ever wanted."
"Then why were you planning to kill me?!" I shook the dizziness that started to take over.
"I was never going to kill you! Who told you that?!"
"You did..."
"No, you already knew about it, who told you?"
I took a breath. I hadn't told anyone about Ashton visiting me in my dreams... They'd think I was crazy, or just dreaming... They just wouldn't believe me.
Before I could say anything, I collapsed onto the ground. My heart rate slowed, I felt dizzy and my vision was blurring. I didn't know what was happening but I forced myself to keep my eyes open.
I heard fighting and yelling and Peter calling my name.
Daniel's POV
"Take her back to the hideout!" Peter told me as he fought one of the pirates.
"Don't you need me to help out here?" I asked.
"Just take her to the hideout, bandage her wound and get back!"
I took a breath and put one hand under Percy's back and the other under her knees. I started to lift her off of the ground but she winced and I stopped, I didn't want to hurt her. She glanced at me and I picked her up completely, she tensed.
I flew to the hideout quickly and inside. I walked into Ashton's room and set her on the bed, making sure she was comfortably leaning against the headboard. She groaned and I sighed. I pushed her hair out of her face and looked at her. She looked worse than when I first brought her back to London.
"I'll be right back," I said quietly.
I left the room and went to hers. I found a first-aid kit on the table and grabbed them. From the main room I got a bowl of water and a hand towel.
I went back into Ashton's room and set the bowl first-aid on the nightstand. I put the washcloth in the water and lifted Percy's shirt just enough to be able to see the wound completely. I cleaned the skin around the injury and took out gaze and an Ace wrap.
I put the gaze on the wound carefully, she flinched and I closed my eyes for a minute. I took the Ace wrap and started to wrap it around her side, about three inches above her waist. She groaned.
"It's ok, Percy..." I told her gently, "You'll be ok..."
She tried to speak but nothing came out. Her eyes were half-open and she wasn't looking at anything in particular. I used adhesive tape to keep the Ace wrap in place and helped her lie down.
"Everything will be fine, Percy, I promise," I said. I looked at the cut on her forearm and sighed.
I picked up the washcloth and cleaned the cut. I wrapped it the same way and looked at her. That was all I could do to help her. "I'll be back, ok? Get some rest..."
I leaned down and kissed her forehead before I left, going back to the Jolly Roger.
Percy's POV
I heard Daniel leave and my vision became worse. I saw something- someone, standing over me. The image was faded but I could make out the face as clear as day. And it shocked me. He smiled at me lovingly and put his hand on my shoulder. "You'll be ok," he told me.
He moved his hand from my shoulder to my cheek, "...I love you, Percy."
Ashton was the last thing I saw before I blacked out.
I woke up hours later to the sound of boys talking in the hideout. I opened my mouth to call for them but could only manage a weak, "...Boys?"
It became dead silent and one by one, the Lost Boys entered the room. Lead by James. I smiled weakly. "I missed you, guys," I told them.
They were quiet as they looked at one another. Tootles was the first to speak, "Are you alright, Percy?"
"...I'm fine. Thank you all for helping... But what about Hook...?" I looked at James.
"Gone."
"How?"
"I refused to become him."
I nodded slightly and he was about to say something else when I did, "Can you take my magic away?"
"I... I don't know..." he replied.
"...Try... Please try."
Hesitantly, he put his hand on my arm and closed his eyes. But then he looked at me and said, "I don't want to hurt you... You said that dark magic and good magic don't mix..."
"There's a difference between being healed with magic, and being stripped of magic..."
He nodded and focused on his powers. I felt a rush of dark magic as it fought to stay, I winced in pain. But then I couldn't feel the magic anymore. I smiled.
"You did it... Thank you..."
"Do you want me to heal you now...?"
I nodded and held his hand over my heart. But just as his hand started to glow, something appeared in a flash of light and blocked the magic. I felt a shock, there was a scream and then a crash...
James had been thrown backwards, but there was something else. On the other side of the room, a figure was on the ground, having hit the wall. I looked at it, and it stood up, turning to face me.
My eyes widened. It was impossible... "You're welcome," he said sarcastically, "I was shocked out of the after life, do you know how painful that is?! By the way, just because you get rid of magic, doesn't mean it's permanently gone from your system! James could've fried you!"
"Wh... How...?" I stared at him in shock, "Ashton?!"
I don't even know what I'm doing anymore! Like, how the heck do I continue off of this?! I just... I don't know anymore man... I'm too tired to be writing right now... Ugh!
And lately I've been dying to write a Swanfire (Once Upon a Time) story but I have no idea what to write for it... I don't even know, ok? My stupid little author's notes make no sense... so yeah...
Review!
Have a blessed day.
