Chapter 10 (No one of Consequence)

Peter's POV

Peter swiftly lands on the deck of Hook's ship. He lands right in front of Hook.

"HOOK! You have ten seconds to beg for your worthless life." Peter holds his sword the Hook's neck. Hook laughs very loudly.

"Do you think it is wise boy, crossing swords with a pirate?"

Hook pulls out his cutlass and goes into a raging battle. He advances at Peter. But Peter parries, hitting Hook in the butt with the end of his sword. Hook turns and tries to stab Peter. But Peter ducks, letting Hook completely miss him.

For at least an hour, they fight. But Peter makes a wrong move. Hook holds his sword at Peter's neck. "You have ten second to beg for your worthless life." Hook mocks

"Go on, do it! You could never kill a man if your life depended on it. That's why you poisoned Aurora."

Hook snares at him. "I didn't poison the girl. The poison was meant for you. I should know. I was coaxing your girl to do it. But she wussed out, leaving me to kill you."

"She is braver than your whole crew, you coward!"

Hook positioned his sword, ready to kill. But someone stepped in front of him. He was masked and had the figure of a woman, but this was no woman.

"STEP ASIDE!"

"No!"

"I SAID STEP ASIDE!"

"No. I won't let you kill him."

Hook lunged at the man. They fought ruthlessly. The man seemed to be winning.

"Who are you?" asked Hook.

"No one of consequence." replied the man

"I must know." countered Hook

"Get used to disappointment." countered back the man.

They fought some more. Hook stopped the man. "No man can beat me, dead or a live."

"I am NO MAN!" replied the man. He ripped off his mask. He was a she. It was Aurora. "And I believe you have a visitor."

As if on cue, the crocodile that ate Hook's hand jumped on deck. It chased Hook into the water and Hook was never seen again. But neither was the crocodile.

Aurora made her way to Peter. "Did I miss anything?"

"I don't think so. Talk about timing. Where did you learn to fight like that?"

"My uncle, aunt and father. They fought with you, only the best."

Aurora and Peter laughed. "I guess we better get going."

"Right. But one thing."

"Hmmm?"

Peter opened Aurora's locket. Peter's name, as if by magic, appeared under the blue gem.

"You can go home now, if you like."

"What? What makes you think I want to go home?"

Peter shook his head. "Peter. Peter, tell me!"

Peter looked the other way. He completely ignored Aurora's cries. Finally Aurora couldn't take it anymore. Aurora kissed him. He was surprised, but relaxed. Finally they pulled a part.

"I love you, Aurora. I should have told you sooner. I just didn't want to lose you like Wendy."

"It's all right, because, I love you too. I always have."

They kiss again, so passionate, it was considered the most passionate kiss ever recorded. Soon they broke away.

Aurora started feeling dizzy and things were going into blur. "Aurora! Aurora! What's wrong?"

Peter laid Aurora on the deck, calling her name. But Aurora had completely blacked out.
