As Peter, Sky, and the Lost Boys made their way back to Deadman's Tree Tinkerbell soared through the giant night sky. Hot tears stung hear face as a cold, incessant wind nipped at her skin. During her flight thousands of thoughts made their way in and out of her mind so many, in fact, that she herself didn't really know what to do or how to feel. The only thing she knew for sure was her anger, not only for the girl but also for Peter.
Soon her angry flight became one of blind rage, and she happened aboard a very large and dimly lit ship. Though suddenly, with no fore warning one of the cabin doors shot open, and the tiny tear ridden fairy had all but no time to stop before slamming her small and fragile body into the door.
Instantly she sank to the ground, unconscious to anything and everything around her petit form. At the loud thud the door opener came around to where the small fairy had fallen...eyes going wide the sea fairer gently, though quickly, lifted the tiny form into his hands, running to a cabin on the opposite side of the leering ship.
Once there he barged into the room behind his chosen door. Almost immediately a booming voice was heard and the runner slid himself back into a corner. Though he was soon pulled from the corner by the lapels at the source of a large silver hook.
"SMEE...HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU TO KNOCK?!?!?!?!"
"Well....eh....Cap'n Hook Sir....I, ah, well I," Smee not really knowing what to say simply shifted his hands toward the menacing Captain Hook, "Pan's fairy sir!"
Hook's face immediately changed from one of anger to that of pure glee, "Smee how could you possibly...." Smee beamed proudly in front of his tempered companion, "Well sir I opened a door! What shall we do with her now?"
The Captain simply looked at his dimwitted first mate, not wanting to ask any more questions. He then peered down upon the tiny fairy in the man's hands noticing the tears that rimmed her tiny eyes, "I, eh, put her over there in my empty hook box, she should be comfortable there until she wakes," he turned evilly a plan churning within his mind, "And I couldn't possibly give up an opportunity to speak with our lovely little Miss Bell!!"

After a night of unconsciousness Tinkerbell opened her small eyes only to shut them very quickly, for the first thing she saw was an extremely bright light. She soon assumed it to be the sun, though she couldn't remember falling asleep. "Oh well!" she thought to herself. She then yawned and began to stand though soon ended her efforts, for a terrible pounding had found it's way to her forehead and she suddenly began to remember the events from the previous afternoon.
A smug look found it's way to her face, though it was soon lost as she felt presence of someone behind her. She turned to see who it was and once she did she wished she hadn't turned around at all.
Standing there before her, a very evil grin on his face, was Captain Hook. Her tiny features soon showed a great deal of utter dread. Normally she wouldn't have feared him at all, she would have simply flown away, however, this was different. She couldn't even stand, let alone fly, her injured head had very quickly stopped any and all chances of any activities concerning movement.
Hook soon saw her fearful appearance and smiled a bit more. "Don't be alarmed my dear," he grinned, "I shant harm you! Besides you should be thankful, I rescued you, you know!"
At his words Tinkerbell, glanced up at him with a suspicious glare, thinking at the same time "Saved me what does he mean saved me I was just fine on my own...he was probably the one who hit me!"
"Tis true Miss Bell, you most likely would have perished if I hadn't plucked you from the salty water's of Cannibal's Cove." He then turned his back toward her putting on his best face of concern. "It seems you must had rammed into a branch...my crew and I happened upon you, and now here you are safe and warm." Hook then turned toward her again, seeing a string hint of gratitude in her eyes, he returned it with his mock glance of concern, "Whatever were you in such a flight about...if we hadn't happened upon you -- well, just think of what might have happened Miss Bell -- you could have been killed!!"
Tink's face changed from gratitude to anger in the blink of an eye, and since the Captain requested it she stood, though painfully, and slowly began to explain the whole situation to the Captain using exaggerated gestures and movements.
Once done the exhausted fairy sat once more, hot stinging tears falling from her eyes. At seeing her tears Hook gently handed her his handkerchief and looked down upon her sorrow filled features. However, inside the Captain was very excited to learn of Miss Bell's hatred for this island newcomer.
"Perhaps, I will finally be able to put that boy in his place!!" he thought to himself.
"Well Miss Bell the only thing I can do, as a gentleman, of course, is help you to rid the island of this obvious new pest!" at hearing his words Tink's eyes lit up a bit.
"Perfect!" she thought to herself. Tink was filled with joy at hearing the Captain's gallant words, and only too happy to do all that she could to help him rid the island of Sky. Several thoughts of her past experiences with Hook ran through her mind, though they all seemed insignificant. Her only true concern was getting rid of Sky so she could be happy again.
Tink was suddenly jolted from her thoughts as the Captain's voice ran through the cabin once more, "I say Miss Bell...I can't very well help you until you tell me where the little wretch is staying!"
Tink nodded, understanding him fully. She gently stood and walked over to a map, one that was old, wrinkled and covered with dust, yet still very familiar to her. She gently stood on the spot noted as Deadman's Tree, and Hook looked at the map where she was standing. "Of course," he thought silently, "How smart of him, I never would have thought to search that damned tree again."
Hook smiled at the little fairy as she smiled back at him eagerly waiting for his response to her help. Smiling Hook violently reached out and grabbed Tink, wings and all, lifting her to his now smug face. "You never learn Miss Bell, you never learn!"
He then carried Tink to the outer parts of the ship grabbing a small wooden box just her size, and roughly he threw her small form into the box closing it tightly with a glass lid. Once done he hung her tiny prison upon a petit sized hook leaving her to dangle in the wind.
He then turned to his first mate, Mr. Smee, and instructed him to pipe up the crew. Once his entire crew was present the Captain announced his plan, "Gentlemen, compliments of Miss Bell, I now know the hiding place of one Peter Pan," he was then interrupted by the crew's vicious laughter and joyous cries, "And since I have been adorned with this glorious information I believe we shall set out at once for Deadman's Tree to capture him once and for all!"
With that the entire crew set sail for the island, and left the weeping fairy in her tiny prison to weep not only with anger but for her own stubborn foolishness.
