CHAPTER THREE
THE MAP
Captain Hook was inside his cabin, sitting at his desk. The cabin was well furnished; it was entirely made out of expensive oak. The walls were covered with rare paintings and the woodwork was spectacular. Captain Hook gazed down at his large desk. Lying upon it was the map that he had found earlier and in his hand was the feather that was with the map.
Mr. Smee entered the room, carrying a tray of food. He was humming a happy tune while he set the tray down upon the desk, in an area were nothing else was. "Here you are Cap'n." Mr. Smee grabbed a napkin from the tray and tucked it inside Captain Hook's collar. "I still don't understand why you would want this here old map. You have such nice ones already." He placed a spoon into the bowl of steaming soup.
"This is no ordinary map Smee." Captain Hook pushed his chair away from the desk and stood up, crossing the room. He sat down in another velvet chair. Mr. Smee followed him with the tray of food. "This Map is Neverland itself. The very existence of Neverland depends on it."
"How's that Cap'n?" Mr. Smee moved a table over to Captain Hook and placed the tray of food on it.
"I'll show you." Captain Hook got up from the chair and made his way back to his desk, where he sat back down. With his one hand he picked up the feather and brought it over to the map. "Look outside this porthole," he pointed to the porthole located behind them, "and tell me what you see." Mr. Smee followed his orders after placing the tray back down on the desk.
"I see nothing but the water sir." Captain Hook smiled.
"Now watch." He took the feather pen and began to draw on the map with it. He drew what seemed to be a large rock in the middle of the water. "Now look outside the porthole." Mr. Smee did. He had to take a double take.
"Why Cap'n, there's a giant rock there now." Mr. Smee said in amazement. Captain Hook released a laugh.
"You see Smee, with this map, and this feather," he motioned to them both, "I have the power to alter Neverland."
"You mean you can add things?"
"Not only that, I can also erase things." Mr. Smee shook his head in disbelief while he released a light whistle.
"Just think of all you can do Cap'n."
"I intend to do a lot." Captain Hook took up the bowl of soup. He had some of it, then spat it back into the bowl. "SMEE!" He growled. "This soup is cold!"

"Look out! Here he comes!" Cubby shouted as he ran away from Slightly. Slightly stopped his pursuit and turned around. He had caught movement out of the corner of his eye. As he turned around to see who it was the twins both darted out from within the bushes and ran away from him.
Slightly chased after the boys. He reached his hand out hoping to touch one of them, but had no luck, they escaped him. Next he saw Nibs run past. Slightly wasn't about to let him escape as well. He darted after him and continued to chase him for awhile. Nibs tried to escape him by running around trees and going in circles but it was all to no avail. Slightly was able to grab onto his tail. "Ha! You're it!" He shouted victoriously. "Nibs is it!" He announced to the rest of the group as he ran away from him.
Nibs began to scan his surroundings for anyone who he might tag. He saw Peter. Well not all of him, only his hat, which stuck out from behind the rock he was crouching behind. Nibs crept up to the rock. Peter sensed him coming and began to run away, for there was a rule that he had to follow, no flying, or else he would have easily done that. Nibs followed after him.
Nibs watched Peter dart about trying to escape him. He was closing the distance between them. "I'm going to get you Pan!" He shouted. Nibs looked down at his feet, as if commanding them to move faster. He brought his head back up and was completely shocked to see Peter stopped right in front of him. Unable to stop Nibs ran into him, sending them both sprawling to the ground.
------------------------------
'There's no way I'm going to let him catch me.' Peter thought to himself as he ran faster. He weaved back and forth between the trees. He jumped over a few small rocks hoping to lose him. Peter glanced behind him as he ran. Nope, still there. He heard him shouting after him.
Suddenly everything went black. Peter stopped running. He felt a great force push him down to the ground. He couldn't see anything. He heard a familiar voice shouting 'I'll get you Peter Pan, if it's the last thing I do!' Peter then saw himself. He was fighting with someone. It was James. They were rolling on the ground, one on top of the other. Peter, with his two hands, was pushing James' chin up. James was fighting to remove Peter's hands. He violently kicked and thrashed about.
They rolled over again. James was now on top. He removed Peter's hands and now had his own hands around Peter's neck. "You're parents didn't want you!" He hatefully shouted at Peter. Peter grew furious. He pulled his legs in and then kicked them out into James' chest, sending him flying back.
"You're parents are dead!" He shouted to him in vengeance. They both got up and with a scream they charged at one another. When they reached each other James' one hand grabbed Peter's hair, while the other held onto his shoulder. Peter too held onto James' hair and shoulder. They began to spin around in circles.
They grew tired and broke away from one another. Both of them stood still, staring down the other. They both panted, trying to catch their breaths. "James." Peter quietly said.
"Peter."
-----------------------------
"Peter! Peter!" Nibs shook Peter, trying to awaken him. All the other lost boys tried to wake him up as well. "Peter wake up!" Peter's eyes began to flutter.
He felt someone shaking him. He heard people calling him. He began to try and open his eyes, but his head hurt so much. He finally forced open his eyes and saw figures above him, but they were blurs. Everything was so fuzzy. He closed his eyes and then opened them again, trying to focus them. He began to see the lost boys.
He slowly sat up, Cubby helping him. Peter brought his one hand to his head to hold it, trying to stop the spinning sensation. "Are you alright Peter?" The twins asked in unison. Peter very carefully and slowly nodded his head yes. His face was pale and his eyes were blank.
------------------------------
"Hmm.where to began Smee?" Captain Hook studied the map on his desk. He leaned back in his chair, balancing it upon its two back legs. He looked up at the cabin's ceiling while releasing the smoke he held in his mouth from his cigar. A wicked grin played across his face. "Let's see, there's Skull Rock, the Mermaid Lagoon, the forest, I've got IT! Captain Hook quickly set all the legs of the chair back upon the floor, sending a loud bang to fill the room, and sat up. He looked at the map and with his hook he stabbed it.
"The Indian encampment?" Mr. Smee asked as he looked at the Captain's hook upon the map.
"Of course Smee! Those Indians have been nothing but trouble for me."
