bitch. Anyway THANKS A LOT to all who have reviewed. I really appreciate
it! Enjoy!
Chapter 6 *Third Person POV*
Hook had been scanning the jungle when he heard a loud scream. It sounded like a teenage boy. More importantly it sounded like Pan. He crept toward the noise as quietly as possible, thanking Lucifer he didn't bring his crew, the noisy bunch. Figuring it was Pan he prepared for a surprise attack. But as he walked closer he heard a loud roar. THE CROCODILE! His eyes widened and ticking went off in his head as he pulled out his pistol. Another scream sounded through the air and this time it was out of pure terror. He crept on, careful not to step on anything that might give away his position.
He was looking down at his feet so as to avoid a huge stick when he was hit hard in the chest by a medium sized person. He automatically grabbed it so it wouldn't get away. His gun pressed threateningly against its back. But when he looked up he noticed it was no more then a mere girl. All of a sudden recognition flooded him when she looked up at him. Dark brown eyes stared up at him through an oval face shaped by long red hair... it was the girl from his vision. He watched her expression change from exhaust to shock in a matter of seconds, apparently she recognized him too. Unfortunately there was no time for him to say a word, for at that very moment another scream came from very close by.
"KATERINA!" yelled the same boyish teenager voice. Hook tore his eyes from the girl and stared behind them. Katerina followed his gaze in alarm.
"HIDE ME!" she commanded the captain. He looked back at her and saw her distress. What could he do? She was apparently in some amount of danger and he wanted answers.
"Do not fear." Came his gentle whisper. He released her quickly and she immediately headed for a nearby bush. He stood there and waited, expecting her attacker to come from the front.
Katerina crouched behind a huge berry bush scanning for any sign of Peter and found none. Then her gaze fell on the captain. How was it possible? How could he be real? More importantly how did he know her? But her questions went unanswered. Suddenly she was grabbed from behind and her head was smashed into a nearby tree.
"Thought you'd feed me to the crocodile huh? You little bitch." said Peter angrily. "Just for that, I'll make it hurt beyond your wildest dreams." His lips descended on hers and bit them shut before she could even react. She gave a throaty scream of pain and prepared herself for what might be the worst beating of her life.
Peter released her mouth, and then shoved her head against the tree again. His hand went to slap her but it stopped in mid air as he heard the cocking of a gun. He turned his head and saw a tall man with long black curly hair holding a pistol just a few inches from his head.
"Release the girl." The man said in a deep voice that was almost a whisper.
"Who the hell are you?" asked Peter, never once abandoning his cocky attitude, which fueled Hook's anger even more.
"RELEASE HER!" he barked and pressed the gun into Peter's forehead. "Now!"
The moment Peter released her, Katerina ran to the captain and hid behind him. She did not understand why she did this but, of the other two there, he was the one she felt the most secure with by far. Katerina mentally slapped herself for her own weakness, but she could not help feeling violated and a bit vulnerable at the moment. So she tried as best she could not to run again, and stayed to see what might happen next.
Peter stood with his hands above his head, awaiting further instructions from the captain. The captain stared back with a malicious grin and a tint of red to his flawless blue eyes.
Then they heard it. TICK TICK TICK. Hook's eyes went wide and his gun went off accidentally shooting Peter in the shoulder. Peter fell back onto the ground and moaned in pain as blood poured from his left shoulder. Hook turned to the girl and pulled her behind a tree just as the massive crocodile came into view. It crawled forward and came to a stop in front of Peter whose eyes were pinched shut in pain. Without warning it bent its head down and licked Peter's wounded shoulder. Peter's eyes sprang open and he quickly pulled himself away from the croc. As he stood fully erect his eyes widened and he watched the crocodile open its mouth revealing so many razor sharp teeth. He screamed and the crocodile seemed to grin at his fear and crawled speedily towards him. Peter turned and ran for his life, abandoning Hook and Katerina, with the croc not far behind.
Katerina smiled and began to laugh. Hook could not believe what had just happened, for once the crocodile had not sniffed him out and now it was after another. Would that mean it had given up on him? His lips cracked into the first real smile he had shown in a long time.
"Did you see his face?" the girl said in mid giggle. "I'd have paid big money for a picture of that." Hook looked at the girl who was staring out at the spot where Peter had fled, a big smile spread across her face. For the first time since he had seen her he noticed how curvaceous she was. Although he was her savior he could not help his manly impulses towards her beauty, but then he remembered there were many questions left unanswered between them and he planned on getting a few things straight.
"Who are you, little one?" he asked as he stepped closer to her. She turned towards him growing all the sudden nervous at the attention he was now showing her.
"My name is Katerina." She said, her eyes meeting his challenging blue orbs. She looked away unsure of what to do next. "Um... so...what's your name?"
"I am Captain James Hook." He said, feeling a bit forlorn at her scared reaction to him.
Hook closed the gap between them and tilted her head towards him, "You have nothing to fear of me, Katerina. I only wish for you to answer a few simple questions. All right?"
Katerina stared at the man who had saved her and mentally slapped herself again for being scared. She found herself getting caught in his eyes and wishing that she was a bit older. No, she thought, I have to stop. I have to concentrate on getting out of this place, away from Peter.
"Ok." She said, firmly.
"Wonderful. Follow me." He said then began to walk away from her.
"Wait. Where are we going?" she said defensively, taking a step back.
"To my ship for a bit of privacy." He said, but when she still made no attempt to follow him he added, "I'm assuming after an exciting evening such as this one would get quite famished. It would be a shame to waste all that food on myself since I just ate a few hours ago."
Katerina smiled inwardly as she realized he was coaxing her to come with him and although she did not know him and somewhere in her mind a warning sign went up, she wanted to go with him. Plus she was extremely hungry, so in the end her stomach won the argument and she walked toward Hook. He smiled slyly at her, then turned and leaded them out of the clearing.
*Peter Jenkins's POV*
That little bitch, I thought as I crouched down behind a bush hiding from that blasted crocodile. Stupid cunt! Allying with the enemy was she? Well I'll show her. Once I was sure it was gone I walked back to the huge tree where Peter Pan, the girl, and the two fairies were.
Peter held Tinkerbell firmly and the girl held the other fairy just as firm, keeping them apart so they wouldn't rip each other to pieces. I put on my innocent face and stumbled into the clearing.
"Peter what happened to you?" asked Pan aghast as he stared at my shoulder.
"Katerina, my Katerina, He stole her away and shot me in the shoulder," I said purely.
"Who stole Katerina?" asked the girl, eyes wide in shock.
"A man...a man with long black curly hair and red eyes. He grabbed her and dragged her off kicking and screaming. We have to get her back. Please." I pleaded, almost on the verge of tears but I figured that would be too much. It might give me away.
"Hook." said Pan immediately. "Don't worry Peter we'll get her back. I promise." And with that Peter retreated down the tree followed by the little girl. I stared after them and smiled to myself. I'll get you back, Kitty Kat, one way or another!
