Peter opened his eyes to see the clear blue sky. He looked around, lower, and recognized the ship to Hook's. Wendy struggled beside him with the ropes that kept her against the pole. The ropes around his own wrists and feet were scratchy and dug into his skin.
"So, Peter Pan, you find yourself in a most vulnerable position. Perhaps you and Wendy have a daring, brilliant escape scheme up your sleeves? No? Oh, that's just too bad. Seems I have you two quite at my disposal. How nice." Hook said.
Peter looked up at him, eyes glowering with hate and rage, and then down at Wendy beside him.
"We'll never be yours, Hook! You just watch! Nothing can make us do what you want!" Wendy protested.
"Oh, but m'dear, it seems you are not aware of your current situation. I hold both of your lives in the palm of my hand. And I have back-ups, including someone I think you, especially, may remember."
It was then, as Wendy looked into Peter's comforting eyes, soaked up their protection, that she gazed back to where Hook was standing, and Morgan stepped out of the shadows.
"Oh!" Wendy's eyes widened and her hand shot to her mouth.
"What are you getting at, Hook? None of this makes any sense." Peter spat at him.
"Allow me to explain, then. We, Morgan and myself, have a proposition. Please be respectful and listen quietly until I am finished."
"Never, H-" Peter began.
"I SAID, LISTEN QUIETLY!" Hook bellowed, stepping menacingly toward Peter and Wendy. "I will resume, if there are no more rude interruptions, which can be arranged." Hook snapped his fingers, and two pirates ran out and gagged both Peter and Wendy.
"Now, I can talk in peace. If you both cooperate, everyone will be pleased, the sun will continue to shine, and the world will keep turning. Because I am the one holding the power at the moment I will be merciful and give you both two choices. Wendy must agree to marry Morgan-" Hook was interrupted by a
"Mmmmphf!" coming from Peter, who struggled dangerously and violently against his bindings.
Hook resumed, undeterred, "And Peter, you will agree to serve my crew and I for the rest of your days. If these conditions do not suit you, I will release the two of you immediately." (A/N- are u confused?? Keep reading)
Wendy's blue eyes searched Peter's curiously, in confusion, but his green eyes held no answers.
Silence rested over the ship for about three minutes while Hook tapped his foot impatiently. The crew looked very confused.
"Oh! How silly of me, I almost forgot. Ungag them, please." Hook snapped.
"Hook, you would release us?" Peter questioned slowly and uncertainly.
"Oh yes, but I did forget one tiny detail. If and when you choose to be released, I will set free my army after you with the instructions and intent to kill. Miss Darling, I wish to ask you something. Do you remember what jails and prisons are, back on Earth?"
Reluctantly, Wendy nodded her head.
"Well then, you surely recall who was housed inside of them." Proudly, Hook continued. "My men traveled to every jail and prison around the world, choosing the worst and most violent criminals." He taunted. "The ones that would just as easily snap your bones in two as drink a cup of coffee. I even dusted them with pixie dust, so they can fly. They make up my army." He paused for affect. "Does this change your decision at all?"
"Oh, Peter," Wendy whispered in his ear, his face frightened, "I don't care who we have to fight, or how dangerous it is, I just want to get off this boat and away from Hook and Morgan."
Peter eyed her lovingly, "If we stay together, nothing we be as scary. I'd never let you get into their hands, Wendy. Let's get out of her."
"We've chosen, Hook!" Peter shouted, brows furrowed. "Nothing could make us so desperate that we would do as you wish. Release us!"
"As you please. But don't say I didn't warn you. Every last man in my army is as bloodthirsty as the next. Unhand them."
Pirates came over to Wendy and Peter and silently unbound them. Peter's arm quickly found Wendy, and she stood shaking in his grasp.
"I'm feeling kind-hearted today. You may have a five-day head start before I release the men. Run quickly, children!" Hook yelled, obviously very pleased with himself.
"Come on Wendy, we've got to hurry!" peter grabbed her hand and they jumped off the boat, diving into the water, swimming as fast as they could. When they reached shore, Peter emerged first and pulled Wendy up after him easily. They ran as fast as they could, their sopping wet clothes dragging them down, checking back at the ship every once in a while.
"Don't worry, Wendy, just stay with me. We can do this. Don't let Hook break you." Peter breathed in her ear as they ducked into a hole in the ground. Wendy took as shaky breath in and out, eyes closed. Peter watched her and squeezed her body tighter to him and worriedly rested his cheek on the top of her head.
