Hey everyone, sorry this has taken so long to get out, thanks to all the great reviews from all of you that have loved this story. I didn't think anyone liked it, so I cut it short. But now I'll sit down and finish it for you all.

Anyway, on with the chapter.

Chapter 7: Your Greatest Fear

The small boat containing two important people had arrived on the shore. Gear had been set up for a long trip; Lucy was waiting patiently by the small craft as Captain Hook ordered his men about.

Finally ready Captain Hook and Lucy set off on their journey into the woods to find the infamous Pan. Looking about herself Lucy examined the glory of what was all around her. Her mother had never told her that Neverland was such a beautiful place. Stopping she picked a wild flower, it was bright orange and black flecks all across its wide open petals.

Captain Hook had been walking behind her for the most part. He was still reeling on what he should do, he couldn't keep her away from Pan forever, but if he let her get near him, the resistance to leave her mother and Pan would be far too great, Captain Hook would loose Lucy.

As she stopped, he did too and placed the bag down, sitting down on a rock. He smiled to her, the first smile of not many. Little did she know the beautiful power that particular flower hid. Standing Hook pulled the dagger from its position on his waist and walked across to Lucy standing in front of her, bringing up the dagger slowly, Lucy thought he was going to kill her; the worst possible thought came to mind as he drew his dagger down towards her hand.

The flower began to come to life, its leave began to drip poison and the only way to kill the flower was to chop its head off. Its head fell to the ground; Lucy slowly opened her eyes and looked quickly to see the bits of flower wriggling on the ground before turning brown and dying.

Her head whipped back up to look at him. He had a cocky smile on his face, she felt like her legs were going to go weak at the knees. She was about to say something where she had a burning sensation in the palm of her hand, looking down quickly she saw the vile eating away at her skin slowly. Captain Hook's eyes had followed hers.

He remembered the first time he'd been caught by one of these particular flowers, he had experienced it after loosing his hand and stumbling on to one of the flowers with the stump still bleeding furiously, made ten times worse by the acid eating away at the stump too.

He took her hand in his and brought it upward. She instantly pulled her hand away.

"What are you doing?" She asked, he shook his head and looked to her eyes. He leaned in slowly, he could feel the heat between them, feel the pressure of his growing arousal. Her breath was sending hot tingles down his spine, but before their lips could make contact, she felt a searing pain in the palm of her hand once more, but this time from Captain Hook's dagger. He cut a wound in her skin and brought the palm to his lips, sucking on the fresh wound and taking away the poison. The acid burnt his tongue, but he quickly spat it out and rinsed his mouth with bottled water.

Ripping a little of his shirt, he wrapped it around her hand and tied it tight. Lucy was at first scared, but then happy. Had she come alone, she would be dead by now. Or dying.

Smiling she nodded slightly to him and the pair continued on their journey.

Peter had woken early, a lot earlier than the normal time for him to wake. He hadn't been able to sleep all night. There was something dark and powerful, here, in Neverland.

He also felt new and old faces returning to haunt him. Something was a miss in Neverland. Getting up he headed out, but was stopped by his lost boys.

"There's something on the roof!" They all cried in unison. Peter immediately flew out to examine it. Believing it is a rebel pirate, from Hooks old crew. When his eyes had landed on this pure beautiful young lady before him. It was his Wendy.

'But it can't be!' Where his first thoughts, leaving the lost boys to guard Wendy, Peter had to go and talk with Tiger Lilly's father, the Chief. He would know of her coming before anyone. He would also know of what had become of Wendy after he'd left her at her home, in the real world. In London.

Flying at speed through the Jungle, Tinkerbell; Peter most trusted fairy. Flew up dead in front of him, stopping him, dead in his flying tracks.

"Tink?" He almost shouted. Tink jingled her Bells and pointed down to the ground below him, a way up the path. Near dark cave point. Dark cave point was where no-one ever dared go, no-one but Peter. There were things deep inside the cave that were beyond imaginary belief. Though as hard as Peter tried, he never got to see the full extent of this Cave. The imaginary power inside of it, kept anything and everything hidden.

"What is it Tink?" Peter asked and Tinkerbell flew off ahead of him, allowing him to follow her.

"Tink wait up!" Peter called, and then slowed up behind Tinkerbell as she stopped just behind a tree.

Peter and Tink watched on as Captain Hook, who Peter had surely killed made their way through the traitorous depths of the Jungle, heading towards Dark Cave Point. Peter had memories come flooding back to him of the day Peter had killed or at least thought he had killed, Captain Hook.

Obviously now, he knew that was not to be the case. But who was this girl that was with him. The young woman. Peter had never seen a lady as old as her before. Or not that he could remember.

"I have to find out what's going on Tink!" Peter said and flew down after them.

------------'---------------v-----------

The woods began to get dark, Lucy stopped to rest a second against a rock. Hook stopping just short of her.

"What is it?" He asked; he was tired. Glad of the stop but, wishing they could just find Pan so he could finally sort out what was going on.

She looked to him and wrapped her arms around her waist. The skies above her turned to grey and rain droplets were beginning to fall gently to the ground.

"It's raining..." She trailed. He looked to the sky and nodded.

"Aye that it is." He was used to walking in the rain, but from the look on her face, she was a lady and walking in the rain, she never did. He shook his head laughing. Looking up the path, he saw a cave. He didn't know the significance of it, but for now it was shelter.

And thus ends this chapter. Hope you liked it; I'm going to get on and right the next one now. Yay!
