Though Tinkerbell's night proved to be quite a treacherous one, the Lost Boy's seemed to have it pretty good. Before they had gone to sleep Sky had adorned them with a story. As always they wanted her to tell more and more, though she kindly refused and sent them off to bed.
One thing shocked her, however, throughout the entire presentation of her story Peter had been nowhere in sight. After she assured herself that the Lost Boys were indeed asleep and safely tucked into their beds, she set out on an adventure to find her lost companion.
It didn't take her long, in fact she happened upon him much sooner then she had expected. As she neared the main entrance to Deadman's Tree she could see his slender silhouette outlined by the moonlight outside. She cautiously walked up behind him and spoke, "Peter? Why are you out here all alone?"
Startled at first by her voice Peter turned and looked into her eyes, then quickly turned out toward the moonlight once more, "It's just..." he stopped for a moment then continued, "Ah never mind, you wouldn't understand."
She shook her head, then smiled a bit, "Try me Peter."
He nodded, then spoke with a shaky voice, "It's just, well, she's always come back before!"
Sky nodded gently in his direction, "Oh you mean Tinkerbell don't you?" at his nod she continued, "Don't worry Peter, she'll come back...I have a feeling she cares about you very much!"
At hearing her words Peter turned toward her, as he did this he noticed her right hand, it was holding onto the locket that hung around her neck. He had seen her do this before and now she was holding it again.
"Where did you get that?" he pointed toward the small charm that glistened against her chest.
She glanced down upon the necklace then back up at him, "It was a gift from someone I used to know, a long time ago."
He nodded then smiled a bit, "They must love you very much." Sky nodded with his words, tears rimming her eyes, though she was careful to not let any fall, "Yes they did."
He nodded again looking out into the moonlit night, "They still do Sky, they still do."
With his words, Sky snapped her head up, a faint smile finding its way to her lips. Peter turned then, lifting her up into his arms, "Come on, its late! Besides I have a busy day planned for all of us tomorrow!!" He then beamed a giant smile upon his face and gently carried her to Wendy's old bed. Laying her down he watched her until she fell asleep, thinking about what she had said about Tink, and after a while he found his way to a bear skinned hammock and let sleep encompass himself as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter, being true to his words, awoke Sky and the Lost Boys at first light. He planned to show Sky the entire island before nightfall. After a bite of breakfast Peter, Sky, and the Lost Boys set out on a journey around the island.
However, soon after the children set out on their adventure a darkness encompassed Deadman's Tree, not one that could be seen by any eyes, but that of Hook and his pirates...after assuring himself that there was indeed, no one there, he instructed his crew on what to do and where to be.
"Not a one of you is to give up until we've captured Pan and his lackeys! However you are to leave the girl alone and unharmed...UNDERSTAND??"
The crew members nodded, then scampered to their posts like a cowardly lot of chickens.
Hook, after making sure his crew had positioned themselves correctly, took to hiding in Pan's room, "There will be no escape this time Pan...I have you and you haven't even realized it yet!"

At nightfall Peter returned with the Lost Boys at his side and a sleeping Sky in his arms. They hadn't been able to surface the entire island, though they were still just as happy about getting halfway around it. As they approached Deadman's Tree, Peter sensed something in the back of his mind, but he couldn't quite decipher what it was. He silently stopped the Lost Boys, looking around before moving any further, with his next step he leaned down to Slightly, the Lost Boy who held the post of second in command, "Slightly, there's pirates out here, I can feel it...be ready to attack! I'll get Sky to safety underground!" With Peter's words Slightly nodded, and Peter darted for the highest entrance to Deadman's Tree. As Peter had foretold a battle quickly broke out between the boys and their most formidable enemies the pirates. However, the pirates quickly overpowered the boys, tying them up, then quickly loading them onto the small lifeboats.
While the lost boys tried their hardest to defeat the pirates, Peter lowered Sky and himself into Deadman's Tree. Once inside Peter gently laid Sky's sleeping form onto his own hammock, deciding it would be the safest place for her to stay during the battle. As he turned to leave the room, however, he was stopped in his tracks. Standing before him was hook. Peter backed away at first, still in shock from seeing him there...in his room. Peter then opened his mouth to mock the captain, though was quickly silenced by a punch to the jaw, which sent him flying into the wall behind his hammock and Sky's peaceful form.
At the sudden impact Peter yelped in pain, falling to the floor trying to regain his stance, though finding it very hard to do so. The punch he received from his enemy had done much more the simply damage his pride, and his impact with the wall had thrown his dagger from its' sheath. Hook strode forward smiling evilly upon his fallen foe, grabbing Peter's dagger and hat. The pirate then roughly placed the dagger in the boy's bright green, red feathered hat and threw both toward the wall, where they stayed waiting for Sky to awaken the next morning and find them.
Hook then set his sights toward the boy now laying in front of him on the floor. Kneeling he spoke, mockery coated within his voice, "Well boy, looks like I've got the upper hook now, eh??"
Peter looked at him disgustedly, tears rimming his eyes. Though he wouldn't have admitted it to anyone, Peter was afraid of what Hook was going to do. However, his fear soon turned to hatred and that hatred got the better of him. Peter suddenly spit right at Hook, coating his face with saliva. Hook in turn grabbed Peter by the lapels and slapped him hard, knocking the defenseless boy into unconsciousness.
"I swear my boy, you really should learn some manners," with that the pirate roughly dragged his fallen foe out of Deadman's Tree and back to the lifeboats, where he tied the boy's hands and feet. Leaving the oblivious Sky to her slumber.
