Chapter Three

Alex could barley breathe. She could almost feel the dagger slicing through her neck, as she assumed it soon would. Blinking slowly, she looked at her abuser. That was when he finally spoke.

"Who are you?" he asked sternly. When she shifted in spot, he raised the knife closer to her throat.

"Alex…my name is Alex." she silently replied. Still staring at the boy she realized just who he was. The Pan. As she was looking at him, she saw out of the corner of her eye, Karry sneaking up along the hillside. Feeling as if she may startle him, and knowing he may do something drastic, Alex lifted her hand gentley to tell Karry to back away. But made sure Pan didn't see her do so. He stepped closer to her, and since his hand was pressed firmly against the bottom part of her neck, she was pressed more into the tree.

"You're a pirate. I can tell by the way you were moving. But if you are a pirate, then why are you looking so….scared?" he asked in a serious, but sarcastic manner.

"Yes..yes…I am a pirate, and the reason I look scared is possibly because you have a dagger pressed to my throat." she replied back, equally sarcastic. Getting the hint that she wasn't going to harm him in any way, he lowered the dagger. And also being the cocky guy he was and feeling that no one could hurt him anyway, helped too. But just in case he kept his hand on her neck.

'What's he gonna do now?' Alex questioned in her mind. She looked him up and down, and noticed that he was much taller then she would have expected. He was crouched down slightly, and then he looked her right in her eyes. So her must have been a couple of inches taller she guessed. Going through all this in her mind she noticed him tilting his head to the side. And she knew what he was thinking.

"Have I…seen you somewhere before?"

Bingo.

"You look very familiar." he continued.

"I should…"she said quietly, still looking into his honey colored eyes. Deep in her head, she was having a flash back of past events, but decided to go through them later, considering the circumstances.

"Well I guess you can go, you don't look like you would do anything. But if I see you around here again…there might be a different outcome." he warned before letting her neck go, and flying back down the water, where the lost boys where still playing and splashing around, unknowing about the meeting between their leader and the female pirate.

Alex slid to the ground as Karry ran over to her, with concern in her eyes.

"Oh my god Alex, are you ok? Wait, of course you are." Karry joked. But still looked down at her friend with worry. Eventually, Alex and Karry headed back down the hill to find the other girls. Of course they were all told of the encounter with Peter Pan, and wanted to know all about how he looked, and how he sounded.

In the boat, on the way back to the ship, Alex sat alone at the front with her arms crossed and her knees pulled up to her chest. The younger girls looked at each other in confusion, but decided it would be best to keep quiet.

Later on that night, six of the girl buccaneers, where cozy in there beds. But one taller girl leaned on the side of the boat out on the dark deck. The wind was blowing wildly through her long hair. She lowered her head down to look at the black water below. 'He honestly didn't remember' she thought to herself.

"Miss Alex now what are ya doin out her, you'll catch cold." Smee said coming up behind her. Him and Alex had always been able to talk to each other, more then any of the other pirates.

"Just thinking, that's all." sighing, Alex looked behind her at the small pudgy man. He walked up the side of her, also leaning on the rail of the ship.

"Oh now Miss Alex. There's got to be something thats bothering you." he said looking up at her. She was a good foot taller then him.

"Do you remember 'that day', Smee?" she questioned.

"That day?….Oh yes…'that' day. Is that what's bothering you Miss Alex? That was years ago."

"Alex, Smee. Just, Alex." she corrected. "And yes, that is what's bothering me. I can't help it though. He just….ah I don't know."

"You saw him today…on shore…didn't you Alex?" Smee guessed correctly.

"I didn't only SEE him, Smee. He attacked me pretty much." Alex said smiling. "He said I looked familiar. I said I should."
"Ah, and yes you should. And what did he say in return?"

"Nothing…he said nothing. He doesn't remember. God, Smee, the girls don't even remember. And I can't tell them, I mean, they want to meet him so much…" Alex gave out a small yell, turning to the small man.

"The girls were young when it happened Alex. You can't blame them for not remembering. I know it disappointed you but…"

"Disappointed!? Smee, its his fault that me and girls are where we are, and what we are. When Hook kidnapped us and brought us here, I was actually happy, cause I knew that Pan would save us and ever thing would end up all right." she argued. The girl broke down and slid to the wooden floor on the ship. The little man bent down to try to comfort her.

"Oh Miss Alex….I know, I know….but…you've got to move on. This is your life now, and its not so bad." Smee said trying to brighten her up. She lifted her head up and stared up and the staring sky. Her cheeks where glazed with tears, and her eyes looked so sad and helpless. That's when she said softly.

"He didn't save us Smee….he didn't save us."
