Chapter 8

Friend or Foe

Disclaimer: I am here in my auditorium doing dummy runs for our fall play, and I have 'nil' to do so I guess I'm gonna crack out a few chapters. This is one of the chapters I was telling you about where there will be an inside joke you all wont know about accept for my friends. All that you 'outsiders' need to know is that "Dua" means, when one person get really close to another persons face" Well here we go!

"These women are NOT to be debilitated!" Hook yelled. "Understand!" Hooks eyes lit us as if they were miniature infernos. The entire ship went silent. It seemed as a matter of fact, it seemed as if Neverland itself was on silent mode until Hook said otherwise.

"UNDERSTAND!" Hook hollered again. This time all of the pirates instantaneously agreed and helped Sarah to her feet. Sarah was staggering for a moment and then proceeded to yell," Alright who the fuck just hit me!" Rachel had a 'aww that's so sweet" look on her face as she pointed to the now dead pirate. "Oh well…don't you forget it!" She then finished

"Forget what?" Rachel asked

"I don't know damnit! I just got hit…hard. I am permitted to say a few things that don't make any sense whatsoever!"

Sarah staggered a few steps and then fell flat on the floor.

Rachel ran up to Sarah and put her arm around her. Sarah's head was drooped low to the ground. "Are you okay!" Rachel said on the verge of tears.

"I didn't know he hit me that hard! Yeah, I think I'll be okay. All I have to do is get up."

"Sarah, you are up."

Sarah looked around dazed and confused. "Alright well all I need to do is sit how and I'll be right as rain."

Rachel smirked and helped her back into Hooks room.

Rachel sat Sarah down on the bed. Sarah instantaneously laid down while asking, "I've never gotten hit…at least not like this. I mean, I once tripped on a black piece of PVC pipe but that was it."

Rachel smirked quietly and kneeled in front of Sarah and asked in jest. "Are you having fun yet?"

Sarah couldn't help but laugh. She then sighed and rolled over so her back was facing Rachel and groaned. "I am soooo tired!"

Rachel stood up and walked over to Hook who was leaning up against the wall. He was watching Rachel's every move.

"So…uh…since we're not gonna be going anywhere anytime soon, where are you going to sleep?"

Hook raised an eyebrow and said with a crooked smile. "the question is where are you two going to sleep, because she is sleeping MY bed on MY ship."

Rachel then began laughing hysterically. Hook shot her a queer look and asked what was so funny.

"I find it amazing how you can actually think that I give two flying fucks about who you are." She then got so serious that it whipped the smile off oh Hooks face completely. "Now you listen to me. Within the past few house, I have been, shot, hit, kill people, and called out of my name at records breaking speed. You might be one of the most villainous pirates in the world but you know what I am….a pissed of bitch with thing to loose! So… since we're not gonna be going anywhere anytime soon, where are you going to sleep?"

Hook stormed towards Rachel and said with his lips centimeters away form hers.

"Now you listen to me! Within the past few hours YOU have killed my men, YOU have ruined my ship, YOU have brought me a mind splitting headache and YOU have brought me nothing but grief….I respect that so,… here what I'm going to do." Hook then took on of his overstuffed feather pillow off the bed and placed it on the floor.

Rachel starred in amazement as Hook lied on the floor and said in an exasperated voice, "Shut your hole, go to sleep and never speak of this again." Rachel climbed into bed with Sarah only to hear Sarah sing in a "Miss Congeniality" manner, "You want to looooove him, kiss and careeeeess him, you want his boooody, you think he seeeexxy." Rachel grinned and nudged Sarah. "Shut up!"

"Okay, Okay fine. "You want to looooove him, kiss and careeeeess him, you want his boooody, you think he seeeexxy."

"Cut it out!" Rachel yelled.

"Would you two shut up!" Hook yelled.

"FINE!" Rachel and Sarah yelled in unison. That was then followed by means of a few minuscule giggles. "Man he sure does have a lot of mood swings for a cutthroat, murderous pirate." Sarah then finished and drifted into a deep "forty winks".

Rachel tosses and turned trying to go to sleep but was only woken up by the sudden out burst of Sarah's snoring.

"I swear before God! It's like a banshee!" Hook said still lying on the floor with his eyes closed.

Rachel turned and looked at the floor to see Hook with his hand behind his head with no shirt on.

"Oh God! You wanna put a shirt on?"

"No," Hook answered quickly.

RACHEL THINKING: Alright! I aint gonna ask him twice! If he wants it off…

"I didn't know she snored." Rachel said while sitting up and walking to the door. She were about to grab the handle when Hook sprang up and grabbed her arm and put in behind her back. Rachel inhaled quickly in pain.

"Just where in blazes do you think you're going?" Hooks growled from behind Rachel while raising his Hook to her face. His breath was ragged and erratic, hot and sultry against her skin.

"Well I sure as hell can sleep with Godzilla over there growling so I thought I'd go for a little walk around the ship and tire myself out." There was a sudden pause. Look we are out in the middle of nowhere by now." There was another long pause. "WHERE THE HELL AM I GOING TO GO?" Rachel said in an angry whisper. For some reason she didn't want to wake Sarah up.

Hook looked around for a moment and again looked at Rachel. "Well, I wont have you walking around all by yerself." Hook then went over to his chair and grabbed his shirt and his coat.

"Aww you are gonna walk with me? You do care!" Rachel said smiling

"No. I just don't trust you." Hook snapped.

Rachel shrugged and opened the door. She could feel the icy night air prickling her skin. Hook felt is as well but he was so use to the night air. She smiled at the sight of Rachel slamming the door shut and gasping for warm air. Rachel sneered at Hook and took a deep breath and opened the door for the second time.

Hook the did the unexpected. He took his coat and draped it over Rachel's shoulders. Rachel's eyes widened in shock. "You never cease to amaze me." Rachel said while putting the coat on. Hook ignored the comment and walked past her and outside. "But then again…" She followed

They walked for a few minutes in silence. Hook then broke the silence by saying, "How did you get here?"

Rachel looked at Hook and sat on the floor and starred at Hook. "Why are you sitting!"

"Well you wanted to know how I got here and I'm gonna tell you!" Hook still stood staring at her. "Look, this is how I tell stories so sit down and shut up!" Hook huffed and sat down. "Well Sarah and I were hanging out in my room and we heard something at my window…."

"And then we were here." Rachel finished.

"And you actually expect me to believe you?" Hook smirked.

Rachel glared at him and said, "I don't expect you to believe me honey, you wanted to know and I told you."

Rachel then let out a big yawn and said while rubbing her eyes. "All that talking made me tired so….I guess I'm going to sleep. Se ya!" She the saluted Hook and returned to Hook room, leaving the door cracked but Hook didn't follow. Instead he walked to the side of the ship and leaned while gazing at the stars.

Rachel peeked between the cracks of the door giving at Hook. Sh didn't nocice before but, his skin semed to glow in the night. Hook's eyes stayed locked at the stars but somehow felt Rachel looking at him.

"I thought you were tired." He said loud enough for Rachel to hear. She froze momentarily and opened the door saying in a snobbish voice. I'm goin, I'm goin! You're not the boss of me."

She then closed the door and got under the covers. She stayed starring at the ceiling and let out a sigh, "Shit."

About ten minutes later Rachel heard Hook heading for the door. She then immediately pretended to be asleep. Hell entered and proceeded to remove his shirt and was about to lie back down when he looked at Rachel and, like always, got very close to her face. Rachel felt Hook faint breathe on her face but still remained still.

Suddenly, without warning, Sarah sprang up and yelled. "He's doin a Dua! Rachel beware of the ones who do the Dua!"

Hook was so shocked, he fell back on the floor. Rachel wasn't shocked but began laughing uncontrollably as Sarah stood on the bed and began yelling. "Do you have any idea how traumatizing that is Kevin…I mean Hook? You can just go around think that to people!"

Hook tried his best to ignore Sarah comments a lied back down on the floor and after a few more 'Dua' chants, Sara followed and so did Rachel.
