Chapter 4
Third Person POV
Katerina and Sarah landed in the middle of a large clearing not too far away from Peter's hide out. 'Good' she thought, 'now how to distract the fairie'. She had thought much of her plan since they left the hospital and came to the conclusion that she needed to get Pan alone and she needed a weapon. The weapon was the first step of the plan, and how she would get Pan alone would come next. Personally, she wished she had some sort of back up, but she knew that the only ones who would help her were the pirates and they were all with Hook. This meant she would have to face him alone.
She was about to commence with distracting the fairie when someone decided to pop up and do it for her. Mina, the only lost girl, landed just behind Sarah.
"There you are, Sarah. I've been looking all over for you." She said. Katerina hid behind a large tree so Mina would not see her. The fewer people that knew she was here the better.
"Hey, Mina. I went to retrieve Katerina." Said Sarah, turning to look at her… "Katerina…Katerina… where are you."
"Did you fall and bump your head. Who's Katerina? Huh? You're supposed to be my fairie." Mina exclaimed. Sarah was about to yell at her but then she remembered that Neverland makes you forget. Then without warning Mina grabbed Sarah trapping her in her hands.
"Mina…wha.." she began, but was cut off.
"Come on Sarah. I gotta show you this new trick me and Peter taught the mermaids." And with that Mina and Sarah left the clearing. Perfect, Katerina thought to herself, they're gone and apparently Mina doesn't remember me, which means that Peter won't either. She stepped out from behind the tree.
"Now to find Pan's little hide-out." She whispered to herself.
Hook's POV
I spent the rest of the day contemplating what had happened to me. It seemed hard to believe that I had stopped breathing as well. But then again I had always been mentally connected to Katerina for some reason. The first time I met her was not the first time I had seen her. As strange as it sounded, I had seen her in a vision before she graced Neverland with her presence. I sighed to myself. It had been hard after she left, although I'd never admit it to anyone. I tried so hard to forget her, figuring Neverland would surely erase my memory of her just like it erased all my other memories. But that sort of luck would never be mine. I was doomed to remember her dark eyes, silky hair, soft skin…and how I let her go.
I finally decided that I had to do something to occupy my mind. I gathered some ship mates together and joined Smee on the island in search for the fairie who seemed to know so much about Katerina. We treaded lightly but only for a few paces when we began to here voices near the lagoon. Creeping up to the clearing, I peaked out from behind the tree and watched. There was the fairie, but she was with that young girl who was always with Pan and they were speaking with a young mermaid.
After a few seconds the mermaid jumped and flipped in the air. The lost girl laughed and clucked back a thanks in the mermaid language and turned to leave. This was our opportunity. I stepped into the clearing.
"Well, Well, Well… who do we have here bullies?" I asked with a smirk.
"Hello, you old codfish. What brings you to this part of the island?" Mina asked, smiling back with the arrogance of Peter Pan himself.
"Oh, the usual. Actually I've come to speak to your fairie." And as I said that my men began to circle around them. "But I think I'll take you too."
I gave my men the signal and immediately Smee grabbed the fairie although she didn't seem like she would put up a fight. The lost girl, on the other hand would. I signaled for my men to grab her before she could crow off to Peter. We made our way back to the ship.
My men tied the lost girl to the main mast; Pan would surely see her from there. Might as well kill two birds with one stone, I thought as I walked with the fairie to my cabin.
Once inside I placed her on the table and said, "Now tell me, fairie, why have you been spying on me."
"For Katerina, and my name is Sarah." She replied, a little exasperated.
"Did Katerina…" I turned away so as not to portray any emotions, I had not said her name aloud since she had been here. "…Ask you to do this?"
"Oh no I just wanted to keep an eye on you just in case something bad happened so I could tell her." She said.
"Why would she care what happens to Hook?" I said, my voice falling into melancholy as I spoke in third person.
"Because she loves you, just as you love her." She replied, hitting her head. "Why did you send her away?"
"I don't know." I really did but I reserved that answer only for myself, and even I didn't want to face it. "But there's nothing I can do about it now, unless you know a way I can leave this cursed island."
"So you would leave if you could and forget your revenge on Pan?" she asked, excitedly.
"Same problem. I cannot forget what he has done to me." I said, angrily.
"Well the question is which do you desire more…love or revenge?" she said, lightly.
"What are you playing at?" I snapped back.
"It's a simple question, would you give up revenge on Pan to see Katerina again?" she said sternly. "This is what you need to think over if you ever want to see her again."
"Do you know a way for me to see her?" I asked.
"Yes." She replied.
"How?" I asked, anxiously.
"By choosing what you want."
"What?" I demanded, angrily.
"You must decide what you want. Pan or Katerina." She said. "Only then will I show you how to find her."
I sat down angrily. How could she ask me to choose? I could not. All I wanted was to see Katerina again. Why did everything have to be so hard? I could not let Pan live, but I wanted Katerina by my side just as much.
"If you cannot decide then you don't deserve her." She said and then flew away.
The jungle
(Third Person POV)
Katerina watched Peter from behind a tree. She had eighty-sixed her original plan and decided that she would fool Peter into thinking she was a friend and then find out everything about him, sort of a self employed spy. She resolved to her decision and stepped out from behind the tree.
"Excuse me." she said, innocently.
"Wendy? Is that you?" he asked. She thought it over. He apparently had forgotten her from the last visit, so playing this card seemed almost perfect.
"Peter!" she said, feigning happiness. "Yes it is I. Oh how I've missed you."
"Have you come back to stay?" he asked, excitedly.
"Yes I have. Where are the lost boys?" she asked, convincingly.
"Around. Oh, Wendy there's so much I must show you." Katerina nodded, smiling.
All of a sudden a tiny ball of light appeared before them both and buzzed around Peter's head.
"Mina has been captured by Hook! We must save her!" Said Sarah, hurriedly.
Peter smiled at the prospect of adventure then he looked at Katerina. "Wendy, this is Mina's fairie …Sarah."
Sarah looked at Katerina confused, "Wendy?"
Author's note: I know I've been a big jerk in putting this story on halt for such a long time. So I won't bore you with all the gory details as to why. All I can say is I'm REALLY SORRY! (TIMES A THOUSAND)
