"Peter, this can't be happening!" I cried from my chair as I watched Peter pacing about the floor infront of me. We had returned to an empty home, the door broken down and no trace of where the boys may have been taken.

"Katelyn, calm yourself." Peter said as he stopped pacing to toss me a reassuring smile. "I am sure they are fine."

"The Lost Boys, maybe. But not Kevin. He doesn't know how to swordfight, he doesn't have any survival skills, and Hook was threatening me with his life!" I sobbed as more tears flew down my face like rockets.

Peter scooted over to me and knelt beside my chair, wiping my tears away and brushing my cheeks with his gentle fingers. "Katelyn, Kevin will be just fine. You have got to stop crying and help me think."

"But Hook could kill him at any second! We can't sit here and think, we have to move!" I yelled, trying to get up and move towards the door.

"No." said Peter as he held me down and gave me a serious stare. "Stop. We have to think. There is probably an ambush of some kind waiting there for us. We need to think of a plan. Okay?"

I took a deep breath and slowly nodded my head.

"Good." Peter whispered as he pulled me into a hug. He drew circles on my back with his fingers as I let a few more tears fall.

"I'm scared." I said softly.

"Don't be." said Peter as he kissed me on the cheek. "We will get them back. We will."

I breathed deeply in an attempt to control my sobs. "We need a plan." I stuttered.

"I know that." said Peter as he drew away. "Now help me think of one."

Peter and I just sat there for a while, thinking deeply and contemplating different tactics.

"I've got it!" said Peter suddenly.

"What?" I asked.

"You will walk towards the ship as far as the land will carry you. From there, wave for Hook to get you. Tell him that you tricked me, even by telling me Hook's plan and reassuring me it wasn't true. If Hook doesn't release Kevin and the others then, I will swoop down to 'save' you, and Hook and I will fight. I will win, hopefully, and we can escape." said Peter.

"Hopefully?" I asked uncertainly.

"I will not promise that I will make it though this alive. But I will do everything in my power to protect you and the others." said Peter.

"But his intentions are not to kill you." I said, suddenly remembering that little nugget of information.

"Then what are his intentions?" asked Peter.

"I don't know. He didn't tell me." I said.

"Lies. He was probably just saying that so you would make the deal with him." said Peter. "I guarantee you he wants to kill me."

"But, Peter! He swore he was telling the truth." I said.

"Katelyn, he's a pirate!" yelled Peter. I sighed.

"Now, are we ready to follow out with our order of operation?" asked Peter as he pulled me to a stance and handed me a spare sword.

"Aren't we going to rehearse, or something?" I asked nervously.

"Sorry Katelyn. No rehearsals for battles. This is the real thing. You screw up, and it's over." said Peter gravely. My eyes widened. Peter laughed and stroked my hair.

"Just kidding." said Peter merrily. I was still scared though.

"Don't be scared." said Peter as he read the grim expressions of my eyes. "If anything happens, I will save you."

"I will save you, too." I said, a small smile forming over my face. Peter smiled back at me and kissed my forhead.

"Let's go." he said as he grabbed my hand and lead me out the door. I shivered with anticipation. This was probably the scariest moment of my life.
