Standing on a small cliff that hung over the ocean, Linia let the familiar feeling of the ocean breeze sweep over her again. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath of the air, smiling slowly. The plan to hand Peter over to Captain Hook still seemed unclear to her. In fact, she believed that she had made the wrong choice. Without warning, an image of a small family flashed through her mind and she heard a short clip of people laughing but it all faded within the second. Eyes opening quickly, Linia gasped and looked around. She was standing still, alone. "What was that?"
Peter flew down behind his "mirror image" and nearly shouted at her. "Linia! Where have you been? What happened between you and Hook?!"
Turning around slowly, Linia sighed. "Nothing..."
His worries about Hook vanished and Peter moved up next to Linia. "What's the matter?
"I want to know who I am, Peter. Whether or not I really belong here."
"Of course you do! You've been living here, haven't you?" Peter placed his hands on her shoulders.
Linia looked away, tears streaming down her face like a river. "Now I'm not so sure."
"You... You're crying." Peter touched her face gently.
Her brown eyes looked into Peter's and she continued to cry silently. Peter pulled her closer to him and slowly kissed her. Linia was a little surprised but let him. She had to admit, the feelings of suffering and confusion melted away and was replaced with a warm feeling that was rushing through her whole body. Absentmindedly, she wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes. Her mind was buzzing now… Linia knew that she had fallen in love with him, and Peter had fallen in love with her.
"...Peter?"
The two broke away immediately and turned their heads to where the voice came from. Kaladra was standing in the shadows, looking dumfounded at them. "Peter…" she choked, "How could you?!"
"Kaladra, please forgive me! You don't understand!" Peter begged.
"I understand perfectly. You barely know her and kiss her, when you've known me for years and never showed me affection." Kaladra clenched her fists. "After everything we had…"
Linia moved out of Peter's embrace. "He was just trying to comfort me."
"I knew you were trouble from the moment I saw you!" Kaladra swiveled on her heel and ran into the forest.
Peter gave Linia a small frown and flew after Kaladra. An angry look formed over Linia's face. She hadn't fully believed Hook before but now she knew he was telling the truth. He had hurt Kaladra emotionally. Not only that, but he caused a conflict between Kaladra and herself. "Three days is plenty of time." She muttered bitterly.
Quick as lightning, Peter had caught up with Kaladra and stopped her from getting away from him. "Please, will you just listen to me?"
"Why should I?!" Kaladra screamed, almost ready to hit him.
Peter sighed. "I don't know what came over me."
"Its called love and its what I feel for you."
"Kaladra..."
She moved away from Peter. "You obviously don't care about how I feel."
"You're right... Because you never told me."
Kaladra stopped and looked up at him. He was right... "Is it too late to tell you?"
Peter shrugged. "I'm new to this love thing."
"I love you."
There was a sudden silence, and Peter didn't know why he had a pain in his stomach. But Kaladra looked so beautiful standing in the clearing, the moon's milky light spilling over her. He didn't know why but he had an urge to kiss Kaladra as well. Peter got closer to her and and their lips locked. Kaladra felt better now that she had told him her feelings, and she also got something good out of it. To her, it felt like Peter loved her back, she truly believed he could love no one else now. Finally, her dreams had come true and she no longer had to have pain inside of her. "I forgive you now, Peter."
Peter smiled. "That's good." He had forgotten all about Linia.
But Kaladra hadn't... She still wanted her to disappear.
Hook sat in his throne-like chair and smoked his cigar, watching his men sharpen their swords and practice fighting techniques with each other. He looked to Mr. Smee and clasped his hands together. "I must be the greatest pirate there is..."
"You are, sir!" Smee said weakly.
"I know." He grinned evilly. "But how do I get rid of Pan and his little girlfriend?"
Smee shrugged his shoulders.
"Walking the plank... Ah, but they can fly. Slitting the throat? It's a possibility..." Suddenly, Hook jumped to his feet. "I've got it! I'll feed Pan to the crocodile as he fed my hand to the blasted reptile. And I'll drown Linia!"
"It s-s-sounds sinister, s-s-sir." Smee stuttered.
Hook began pacing back and forth. "But if that elf girl doesn't keep her word, I'll make her death so much worse."
"Oh, Captn'! You're so diabolical!" Smee clapped cheerily.
Turning to his assistant, he nodded arrogantly. "I'll be sure to make this plan work..."
Smee looked out at the crew. "What will they be used for in this?"
"Naturally, the Lost Boys are going to wonder the whereabouts of Pan and come looking for him. We're the prime suspects. To have my men prepared for them is important since we lost so easily last time. Oh! How embarrassing that battle was!" Hook pointed the metal claw towards the sky, "I shall make them all pay for what has been done!"
"Does this all have to end in violence, blood and pain sir? Surely we could find a different way in solving our problems. After all... We could always use new crew members." Smee said, cowering that he let his mouth run.
His face reddened with anger and Hook glared at Mr. Smee. "Have you forgotten everything that we went through? We tried to make those Lost Boys part of my crew but that little wench Wendy... Say, wait a minute! I think you are onto something, Smee."
"I-I am?" Smee fiddled with his fingers.
Hook walked down the steps to the desk and looked at the pirates who had silenced as he approached. For a minute, he just walked around the burly men, admiring their shiny swords. "My men! In three days, we have our victory!"
The crew cheered wildly.
"Save your weapons for the Lost Boys... If they choose not to join me, you may kill them any way you choose. But leave Peter and Linia to me." Hook cleared his throat. "They have caused abashment, those Lost Boys. And now, we have our revenge!"
Again, the crew cheered and went back to their beloved weapons.
Hook looked to the island of Neverland and smirked. "Soon, Neverland will cower when they hear the name Captain James Hook!"
Peter flew down behind his "mirror image" and nearly shouted at her. "Linia! Where have you been? What happened between you and Hook?!"
Turning around slowly, Linia sighed. "Nothing..."
His worries about Hook vanished and Peter moved up next to Linia. "What's the matter?
