Chapter 25

Hanna breathed in as deeply as she possibly could, while they flew over NeverLand, wincing as the air cut into her lungs – she wasn't properly healed yet, but she really couldn't afford to wait until she was. NeverLand and her family needed her and they needed her now. She could sense them down there, with the new powers NeverLand had given her, and they were working on pure anger and adrenaline – once that ran out, they'd get swarmed and Hook was ready and waiting for that to happen, trying to keep out of the fight, barely – but Hanna couldn't let it.
She heard the fight before she saw the ship, but then they rounded a mountain and the shore of NeverLand was spread out before them. The 4 of them hovered in the air making sure to keep out of sight, Tessa floating down to rest on Hanna's shoulder. She couldn't see any faces, only the figures moving and the sound of the fight, but she could sense everyone on the ship. She quickly scanned the ship for her family's presences and she grew less and less anxious as she found each one… Nibs… Curly… Tootles… The Twins… "Where's Slightly and Danny?" She panicked mentally, before she sensed their presences and relaxed. The she realised why it took her longer to sense them and freaked as she realised who they were fighting – Hook's anger had clouded their own presences, and he was fighting with everything he had, although the boys were holding their own.
She noticed another presence, one that wasn't fighting, and she silently drifted down to hover by Tiger Lily, who lay crouched in the reeds, just off the shore. The Indian Girl jumped nearly a foot in the air when she saw Hanna, floating in the air, just above her.
"I th-thought y-you… w-were d-d-dead!" Tiger Lily exclaimed; the poor girl was so terrified she was stuttering.
"I was." Hanna answered serenely. "NeverLand brought me back again. Apparently I'm needed a lot." She shrugged, grinning, trying to hide the fact that every breath hurt and every moment sent stabs of pain though her body… Yep, she definitely wasn't healed yet.
"Come sit in the reeds, with me. It's obvious you're in pain." Tiger Lily said and Hanna scowled, floating slowly down into the reeds.
"Where's Peter?" Tiger Lily asked and Hanna cursed.
"Schmoly cheese…" She snapped, before grabbing Tiger Lily's hand and pulling her upwards.
"Finally…" She muttered. "I've been waiting for someone to bring me into the fight."
Hanna grinned before searching for Peter's presence, scanning the area.
"Got him!" She muttered, before flying off towards the ship, Tiger Lily and Tessa following.
"Peter!" Hanna called, as a net flew out of nowhere and trapped him, sending him into the water. Hanna gasped, and quickly dove down into the sea after him, but she underestimated how cold it was. After NeverLand's random change in weather, due to her death, the waters were still cold, despite the sky being clear and the sun being out. The icy water quickly seeped into Hanna's bones and her muscles froze. She struggled to move as the water angrily swirled around her, buffeting her around. NeverLand… Hanna thought desperately, as she began to sink. Anytime now… The water became still and the temperature grew rapidly as Hanna's muscles unlocked and she easily dived down to Peter, who was struggling to escape from the net. Hanna drew her dagger and speedily cut through the ropes – Peter escaped it, and grabbed her hand in his. They swam up and then they were in the air, high above the ship, and Hanna was clinging on to Peter, as she sucked in deep lungful's of air, although each breath still sent daggers into her lungs.
Shocked cries came from the ship below as everyone noticed the girl who they all saw die smiling down at them; Hook stopped fighting and stared at her, scowling while Danny and Slightly stared up at her, astounded. Then Slightly's face broke out in a huge smile and he cheered; Danny, Keelan and the other Lost Boys gladly took on the cheer, grinning at her.
Hanna grinned, pretending to bow but then her face darkened as she turned her gaze on Hook. She squeezed Peter's hand before releasing it and floating down to stand at the helm of the ship, drawing her sword.
"Hanna, are you seriously doing this? After what happened last time, really?" Danny asked, worry in his eyes for his niece.
"I have to, Uncle Danny. It's Hook or me now. NeverLand will save me, so really there can only be one loser." Hanna explained and Hook sneered.
"I defeated you once and I can do it again!" He snapped, immediately going for her arm with the hook; Hanna stopped it from coming near her with her own sword and kicked Hook's legs from under him; she jabbed and he parried and that's how it continued for the next few minutes, neither actually wanting to wound the other, both too worried about what would happen and who would win.
Now, Hanna knew that Hook was an evil man; he'd killed her own Mother, for crying out loud! But, he was her only parent left and she actually didn't want him to die, no matter how evil he was; she wanted at least one parent, even if he was a murderer.
Hook was having similar thoughts… well, actually he wasn't, he was debating how he could kill Pan but he no longer wanted to kill Hanna so they were sort of along the same wavelength; with a jolt, Hook realised that he couldn't kill Hanna, not a second time, just as she could never kill anyone, ever.
But that didn't mean that he wasn't going to try and kill Peter one last time, before he eventually gave up; and yes, he was planning on surrendering; shocking, I know.
Hook dropped his blade with a clang before whipping out his gun and pointing it at where Peter stood in the air.
"Hanna, I don't want to kill you, so you can put the sword down." Hook said; Hanna ignored him, putting the sword to his throat.
"Give me one reason not to." She threatened with a whisper and the whole of the ship was silent; even NeverLand itself was silent.
"Because you can't." Hook replied simply and Hanna's grip on the sword faltered.
"No, she can't." Danny said, quickly moving the younger girl out of the way, and taking the sword. "But I can." He snapped, plunging the sword through Hook's stomach and Hanna screamed as Hook choked, gasping. Danny removed the sword, glaring. "That was for Jane, you bastard." He hissed before pushing Hook onto the floor.
Hanna ran to Hook's side, trying to hold back tears, as she knelt down beside him, placing a hand on his heart. He tried to smile at her, but all he managed was a pained grimace. Hanna gently caressed his face with her other hand, staring into the blue forget-me-not eyes that were so much like her own.
"You truly are your mother's daughter, Hanna Rose. And I'm so sorry for all the pain I've caused." Hook said, and Hanna knew he truly was.
"I know you are Dad. I love you." She whimpered and Hook managed a true smile this time and Hanna knew why her mother fell for him now; that smile made him look years younger.
"Forever?" Hook asked, his voice so quiet Hanna had to lean in to hear what he was saying.
"Always." She said, tears streaming down her face; he smiled once more, before his eyes lost their shine and the smile died on his lips.

"Hanna?" Peter asked, approaching the sobbing girl and Hanna turned to him, trying to force a smile.
"He's dead Peter; I've got no parents now." Hanna whimpered and Peter held a hand out to the girl; she took it gratefully and he pulled her up, hugging her.
"You've got me and Danny and the Lost Boys and Wendy. We'll all look after you, I promise." Peter promised, kissing her forehead before pulling away.
"Peter, I'm going back to London. Or at least, I'm not staying in NeverLand; I don't know where I'll go once I get back home but I know I'm not staying in London anyway, although I'm never selling the house." Hanna explained quietly and Peter's jaw clenched. Then his face relaxed and he smiled down at the girl.
"Well, if you're leaving, then so am I." Peter said and Hanna's mouth dropped open.
"Seriously? You'll come home with me?" She asked and Peter nodded.
"I can't live without you, Hanna. I need you, more than I've ever needed anyone." Peter said and Hanna kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck and he placed his hands on her waist.
"I love you, Peter." She whispered as they broke away and he smiled back at her, wiping away her last few remaining tears.
"I love you as well Hanna; forever and always."

As soon as Hook fell, the other pirates took that as their cue to leave so when Peter and Hanna broke away from their kiss, the ship was empty. Hanna smiled mirthlessly, looking around at her family, as they stared back at her, happily.
"Keelan, Tink, go and get Wendy back please." Hanna said; Keelan nodded at Hanna whilst Tink hugged her head before they both flew off. A few minutes later, three figures appeared in the distance and Wendy landed on the deck, immediately throwing herself at her granddaughter. Hanna wrapped her arms around her, crying again. Danny walked over to his Mother and niece, smiling sadly. Wendy saw him standing there and beckoned him over; he joined their hug and Wendy realised with a jolt that Jane wasn't there; but on seeing the barely dried tears on her granddaughter's face as well as her son's, she already knew what had happened.
Peter stared at the Darlings sadly but Hanna noticed that he wasn't there and she beckoned him over, blue eyes warm. He smiled and walked slowly over to them as they pulled him into their hug and Peter realised that when he went home with Hanna, he would have an actual family to support and look after them both and that even though he would grow up, one of his greatest fears for a long time, as long as he would be with Hanna, he wouldn't mind in the slightest.
