This is my longest chapter so far! I'm so happy!

Peter flew to the back of the cave only to discover that it lead to yet another jungle, the big pirate had gotten away, taking Ian and Tootles with him. He listened and heard rustling and shouts; he headed in the direction of them. He rescued people, he was the hero, and he did it all. He kept flying and ran into the Lost Boys.

"Where were you?' the Twins screeched. Peter looked around at their panicked little faces, even though he felt bad for them, it felt good they needed him so much.

"I went off to rescue Tootles and…….beat the pirates." Peter was about to say Ian, but he didn't want to go back on his word.

"Oh, sounds like fun! Well….where are they?"

"I was going after them when you stopped me, come on!" Peter flew farther into the jungle. Peter's conscience nagged him as he perused the cracking twigs and footsteps leading to the beach.

Zoe stared at the vast ocean before her. Her little brother and his best friend were missing. It had been days and they had found no trace of Eric, except an old life preserver. And no one knew where Ian had sailed off to, after stealing the Magdajena. No one seemed to do anything useful. She knew she had to do something…..but what? Finally it came to her; she could do what Ian did! She could get a boat and go after them herself! She looked over the side of the coast guard boat; there was a small motorboat that she knew no one would miss. She crawled onto it and let the boat fall into the water. The boat landed with a smack that she hoped no one else had heard. When Zoe was sure she heard no one coming, she picked up oars and rowed away from the Coast Guard ship. When she felt far enough away she started the motor and headed off in the direction she thought was right. The sky was growing dark as pink clouds flew across the orange sky. Zoe grew tired and her vision blurred. Soon the soothing sound of the waves put her to sleep as the motorboat led her away.

When Zoe woke up she found herself on a sandy and sunny beach. She looked around at the perfect little island and wondered if Eric had ended up here too. She pulled her boat up onto the beach and into the forest, to keep it safe. Then she headed off down the beach on search of her little brother. The sun blazed down upon her, she regretted wearing a black tank top without sunscreen. Zoe scanned the beach, the jungle, she saw no signs of life, and everything seemed vaguely familiar. She continued walking along the coast when she saw a few men in the distance. For some reason unknown to her at the moment, she ran to the jungle and hid behind some trees. Did they see me? Did they see me? The question kept ringing in Zoe's head. Of course they saw you she told herself you were the only one on that beach! Soon the men were only a few feet away from her. She heard them muttering as she examined them from afar. One of them was burly and scruffy, tanned skin, tattoos on his arms. He had sandy hair and dark eyes. Another pirate was scrawny and beady. He had a round little face and light eyes, kind of grey but partly green too. He had brown hair and no tattoos. The third man was tall and lanky, with some muscle on him. He had dark hair and deep blue eyes. He had a smirk on his face that could only suggest true cruelty. She could tell they were pirates merely by their appearance. They peered around, looking for her. Zoe desperately wanted to find a better hiding spot but was afraid to move, and give herself away. Slowly, Zoe removed herself from behind the tree and tried to silently make her way farther into the jungle. She looked back onto the beach, the three men were gone! She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a gravely voice say "Hello there!" Zoe spun around to face the tall man. His smirk grew as he saw the look of horror cross Zoe's face. "Why so scared?" he grinned wider as he looked behind her. She spun around again to see the burly man. The scrawny man crashed through the bushes to join them. Zoe began to break into a run, she heard the men perusing her and she sped up. Panting and gasping she kept winding around trees and bushes, running further into the forest. Twigs and branches flicked at her legs as she raced on. She continued to hear crashes and snapping behind her, Zoe knew they were close behind. A muscular hand reached out and grabbed at Zoe's arm, she shrieked and dodged it, causing her to lose her balance and trip. She fell onto the base of a tree and soon she was once again surrounded by the three pirates. They all smiled their greedy, evil, ugly smiles. The tall man grabbed Zoe's arm and pulled her up roughly. Despite her efforts Zoe couldn't break the grip he had on her. She continued to fight him as the pirates all laughed at her. The tall pirate twisted her arms behind her back and held them tightly. "You're coming with us, the Captain will want to meet you" he whispered in her ear, making Zoe wince. Then he led her out of the jungle and towards a very large beached ship. On the side it said The Jolly Roger.

"The Jolly Roger?" she whispered as the man led her up a plank onto the ship. "But that's not real……..all this can't be real!"

"It's as real as me missy" the scrawny man grinned again as they pushed a struggling Zoe across the deck into the captain's room.

She looked around the dirty room; it was very much like you would expect a captain's room to be, except for the array of stuffed toys artistically arranged, everywhere. And all the clocks were smashed. Captain Hook made a grand entrance through a curtained door. He walked over and grinned at his three pirates.

"Good work boys" he purred as he sat down at his table. They all pushed Zoe closer to the table so Hook could talk to her. She shook off their hands with a glare. "So my dear" Hook asked as he arranged some ship figurines on a map of Neverland and surrounding waters. "Do you know anything about two young men that have been seen running around here?" Zoe's face lit up maybe it was Eric and Ian! But then she didn't say anything. "I think you do know" Hook scowled. Zoe remained silent. "Are you going to make this difficult?" Silence, no emotion. Zoe winced as he began to pull something out of his coat, a knife? A gun? What? To Zoe's surprise it was a glistening blue pearl on a chain. "Look at this" he said in a silky voice. Zoe looked away. The smaller man held her head in place with such pressure it surprised her. She stared at the pearl as it began to move in a circular pendulum like motion. The room spun with it and Zoe felt her self losing consciousness. Hook continued speaking in the silky voice. "Who are those two boys?"

"My brother and his friend" Zoe answered sleepily. A voice in her head screamed NO! Don't tell him that! Don't tell him ANYTHING! But she kept on talking. "Eric is my little brother, Ian is his friend. Eric fell over board a week or two ago, Ian went after him in the Magdajena."

"Good" Hook continued.

"And who are you?"

"Zoe"

"What's you age?"

"Sixteen"

"And Eric and Ian, what are their ages?"

"Their both fourteen….well Ian's been 14 longer."

"Aha, and you and your brother, do you get along?"

"Very well" her voice droned with almost no emotion.

"Would you say he cares about you a lot? Maybe even loves you?"

"Yes." Zoe was almost asleep now, glazed, almost closed eyes still followed the pearl. Hook smiled at his pirates with his sinister grin. He put the pearl away in his coat pocket. Zoe remained in an unconscious state. Hook walked over to her and prodded her with the smooth end of his Hook, her eyes snapped open and she looked at Hook in horror. She obviously knows what she told me, Hook thought as he continued to grin not many remember what happens when they are hypnotized, well now she knows what trouble she got her brother and his friend into and I don't have to tell her. Zoe glared at her captor; she couldn't believe all she revealed!

"Lock her up" Hook said crisply. The three men began attempting to drag the fighting Zoe to the mast where they tied up extra troublesome prisoners (so they could keep an eye on them). Finally they threw her over the burly man's shoulder and carried her off. Hook was in a good mood as he sat back down at his table. It had been a very productive day.
