Hi all I'm really enjoying writing this I hope your all enjoying reading it please review thanks so much.
Chapter 5: A new beginning.
Wendy looked up from her five minuet stop break to eye the Captain sat across from her. He was taking off his harness and for the first time Wendy eyed the site he'd been left with after Peter had cut it off.
"Does it hurt?" She asked not quite shore of what his reaction would be never the less trying anyway. Turning in his seat Hook looked back at Wendy and laughed
"If I said yes would it make you pity me?" He returned her question with a question. Smiling she nodded and looked away. Hook couldn't really see any point in going in to detail about the past, his past had been filed with much darkness and sorrow and it was defiantly not something he wanted to go on about for fear his anger would rise and Wendy be on the receiving end.
"Yes it does…Not all the time but most of the time…" He responded careful to make sure she didn't pity him. He was a man of great courage and strength and
"Good…" Wendy cut off his thoughts. And a man of great anger sometimes…
"Want me to show you how it feels Wendy…" He cut in but she didn't hear him as she suddenly got up shaking the boat by accident and falling in to the water. Hook laughed hard, he hadn't seen anything so funny since the day Smee got chased by a bee in Never Land. Wendy kicked and climbed her way to the surface and gasped for air upon reaching it. She heard his laughs and got furious, swimming over to the boat she managed to pull herself in just as the Captain was finishing his laugh fest.
"That was NOT funny!" She said trying to keep a straight face
"Aye that it was Wendy…" Hook laughed once more replaying the action in his mind. Wendy giggled and started laughing herself but looked up and stopped laughing instantly.
"Err Captain…" Wendy said nudging him a little
"Don't try and get out of that Wendy!" Hook laughed but Wendy soon hit his good arm playfully and gave a serious look on her face pointing in the direction behind him, Hook turned and looked at the island just coming in to view.
"Never Land…" He whispered noticing its familiar territories and boundaries. Wendy nodded and they both got in to position. Hook put his harness back on and then his shirt, leaving it unbuttoned as he knew how hot Never Land could get on one of Peters good days. As they rowed on for a few hours they eventually came to the shore line of Never Land, Hook got out in to the water and pulled the boat in on to the shore. Wendy and Hook worked in silence as they both unloaded their belongings from the boat. Wendy found her self soon ready to depart and looked up at Hook. She had, had a good time with the Captain these past few days and leaving him now to go their separate ways; she felt as though she was abandoning him. He made out to be a strong evil man but when you had a one to one conversation with him in the middle of nowhere he seemed a pretty decent man.
"Well I guess this is goodbye…for now…" Wendy spoke first breaking the awkward five minuet silence between them both. Hook had really grown to like Wendy and he had really enjoyed her company. For a little girl she shore as fire knew how to keep a man on his feet. He wished to keep her company longer but he knew she would never allow him to follow her in to the location of Peter Pan's new hide out. So he decided to say his goodbyes and keep up his end of the bargain.
"Goodbye Wendy…" Captain Hook said and picked up his bag over his shoulder. Wendy began walking in to the forest and Captain Hook started heading off in the direction of the beach line to where his ship used to be. He looked back though every few minuets and stopped wondering if he should call after her and go with her to find Peter, should she allow it but he thought better of it. He needed time to adjust to being here again facing Peter Pan in all of his annoyance straight the way might send him off the edge and back to his old ways of course breaking his promise to Wendy.
Wendy knew somewhere deep down inside of Captain Hook there was some trouble waiting to be released She feared him terribly but somehow trusted him to keep his word. She wondered if he was ok and how far he had gotten. She hadn't got very far and she felt as though she was walking around in circles. There was no sign of Peter anywhere and no sign of any new lost boys. She wondered if Peter would remember her and whether he had changed at all even though she knew time meant nothing here compared to the real world. As she walked she heard the sound of a woman screaming something in the distance and worried whether Hook was breaking his promise. But just as she was about to run in the direction she stopped and told her self to not be stupid, she knew Captain Hook had changed and she decided walk away after all she needed so desperately to find Peter so he could take her to see her daughter before it was too late.
Hook stopped for a few minuets trying to get his bearings, he had the strangest feeling he was being watched and it was bugging him to no end. Just as he was turning to look in to the tree's a woman came running out of the forest in to the sea screaming with what sounded like happiness. As he looked back he watched the woman with her beauty and her grace…Well grace not being the appropriate word for jumping about in the sea. But she was a marvellous beauty; Hook had never seen another like her before. She had dark blonde hair that ran down to the middle of her back, her face was beautiful and elegant she was slim and quite tall wearing a pink dress that now as she came out of the water he could see settled nicely on the floor around her. Her dress was sleeveless and tightly fitted around her chest.
"How on earth…?" Hook said to him self wondering how on earth a woman like her came to be in a place like this. The woman stopped now and sat her self down upon the sand; the biggest smile caught her face Hook noticed as her eyes dazzled in the sunlight.
Lucy on the other hand couldn't believe she was finally here; she couldn't wait to see her mother and tell her all about what had happened back in London although she was sure her mother would be upset. Sitting down on the beach Lucy looked at the sea way out up to its horizon. She was so happy she could scream again and again. She didn't notice as the man with the hook approached her across the beach. Hook was amazed, as far as he knew he, the pirates and some of the Indians where the only real adults aboard this island and he was sure he had never seen her before. Walking over Hook smoothed out his shirt and let his Hook hand hang by his side. As he got closer he stopped he didn't want to frighten the poor woman
"Hello…" Hook said and Lucy turned around to face him straight the way. Her first instincts before she saw him were that it was her father and that he had somehow followed her here, but when she turned and looked at the man she saw a very tall man with a Hook for his right hand. He also had dark curls that fell from his head like they where afraid to do other wise. He had the most amazingly blue eyes that felt like you could drown in them. She felt so entranced in him she was sure had she been standing she would have fallen to her knees.
"Hello…" She smiled and looked back out to sea. Her voice was so perfect, so familiar the Captain thought and noticed a few familiar features to her as their where in Wendy. But he knew this could not be Wendy's daughter, for Wendy's daughter was much too young to be here and a fully grown woman. Smiling he walked over dropping his bag down beside him as he sat down next to her
"I'm Captain James Hook…" He said holding out his left hand to shake hers. He had to admit he felt some attraction to her. He hadn't been with a woman since he had come to Never Land and now to be in the presence of such a beauty was an honour for him at least. Lucy smiled and shook his hand
"I'm Lucy Chapman…" She replied and held on to his hand a little longer than she expected to.
"So…" Hook started "How long have you been here?"
"Not long I only just arrived minuets ago, through the hole in the forest…" Lucy didn't know this man and she hoped to the lord that he didn't think she was crazy. But he didn't he just smiled, he wondered how she had learnt of the hole in the forest and how she had come to go from her world to the next, after all it wasn't like you could just snap your fingers and you would be in Never Land.
"What happened to your arm? If you don't mind me asking?" Lucy queried, her mother had never told her about Captain Hook and therefore Lucy had no knowledge of him. He looked up startled a little, as if he expected her to already know what had happened. But she didn't and this confused him; she seemed to know where she was but she didn't know about him, the gang leader and the infamous pirate who got his hand chopped off by the famous Peter Pan.
"I lost it in a battle with Peter Pan…" Well how else could he word it?
"Oh Peter Pan…Does he live around here? I need to see him…" And that ended the romantic situation. Hook stood up and grabbed his bag
"I'm sure if you go in that general direction you will find him goodbye Lucy…" He trailed sarcastically. Lucy instantly stood up and ran across so she was walking next to him though she was finding it hard to keep up with him.
"Please Captain I meant no offence it's just that well…" She trailed and they both stopped. Hook looked at her as her head fell to look at her feet and she nervously played with her hands.
"What is it?" He asked with a sudden feeling of discomfort. Looking up at him she stared in to his eyes, they where inches apart and somehow she felt secure for once in her life.
"I…I need your help, if I go in to that jungle alone I fear that something will attack me and I don't know how to defend myself, I have no weapons no sense of direction please Captain…" She spoke gentle like and looked up in to his waiting eyes.
"I need to get back to my crew if I have any…You're on your own miss…" Lucy watched as Hook set off on his way again and got angry with her self for sounding so pathetic in front of him, storming off in the opposite direction Lucy walked in to the Jungle not even thinking and folded her arms across her chest leaning her back against a tree. As she stood their trying to vent off her anger an ugly looking man with warts on his face and arms peered around a tree looking at her, he was interested in her young body and smiled; his teeth all grotty and broken. Hook carried on walking before he sighed and stopped, he felt he was being harsh on the woman after all she wouldn't last one hour on her own in that jungle back there. Lucy looked up a little as the man approached her, her heart raced like lightening in her chest as the man held out his long sword in his hand, wrapped up in his other hand a piece of cloth with a powerful medicine spilled upon it. Lucy could smell the aroma so strongly she felt she would pass out any time now but before she had time to think he lunged at her, giving Lucy enough of a chance to scream her lungs out.
Captain Hook heard this and he immediately dropped his bags running in her direction, the man had the cloth near to her mouth but she held back his arm and struggled with him, the smell was so over powering and she felt so faint as he pressed it once against her lips before she moved him away again. Hook ran and ran until he finally saw through the trees one of his pirate crew with a hand full of cloth; he smelt from afar and new instantly what it was. The other hand was dangerously roaming it way up Lucy side to her breasts. Hook didn't understand why but he became very protective of her as if he owned her and immediately walked out from the bushes
"What the HELL do you think you're doing?" Hook asked noting as the man turned in fear looking at what he thought to be his once dead Captain. Hook slowly walked up to the man, considering his options on whether he would save the man to help him locate his ship and crew or kill the man right now and be done with him. Hook hadn't done it in a while but it felt very good as he plunged his hook through the man's stomach. The man fell to the ground with a thud and Hook turned to look at Lucy; she looked odd, he held out his hand to her and she stepped over the dying body. Walking back a bit Lucy looked up at him and smiled before her eyes glazed and she started to fall, Hook was quick though and he reached out and let her body fall in to his arms. He was used to the smell but for a young woman such as her it must have been too much.
Picking her up in his arms without hurting her was a big challenge for him but he managed just fine. He carried her out of the jungle and walked across to his bag. Sliding Lucy down so she was almost standing limp he picked up his bag and threw it over his shoulder, picking Lucy back up he carried on walking. As he rounded the corner a very familiar bunch of pirates were sat upon the beach and Hook took his chance to scare the living day lights out of them, first he called for Smee and then he started walking towards them, but it was hard to be a nasty man with a woman in your arms. They all looked at him gob smacked and he looked out to sea at his ship.
"Why are you all sitting around like this? GET ME BACK TO MY SHIP!" He shouted and kicked a few of them in to standing
"Capt'n?" Smee asked walking up to him
"What is it Smee?" Hook looked at him angrily. No matter what had happened; Hook wasn't not going to be the angry captain in front of his men, it showed to much weakness and weakness he could not afford.
"How did you get out alive Capt'n?" Hook turned and looked at him,
"Later Smee! I would like to return my ship now and put the girl in my cabin!" Hook ordered and Smee followed on once again.
