Hey y'all! To answer izzythebella's question, yes this is kind of like that one section in season three of OUAT when they all go to Neverland to save Henry, but it is also similar to to the book as well and since both involve Peter Pan, I though it would be kind of redundant to call it a crossover since no one from OUAT is in this story. Hope you like the chapter! :D

Catherine's POV

The forest is quiet, all except for the occasional call of a wild bird. A dove can be heard in the distance, its mournful melody floating on the breeze. All I can hear is the sound of my labored breathing and the pounding of my heart. In the distance, I can hear the lost boys laughter and music as they celebrate my capture. They obviously haven't figured out that I'm gone yet, but it'll only be a matter of time now. As long as the drums sound, I'm safe. My best bet would be to try and find Captain James Killigan. He's Pan's greatest rival and I know he would be willing to do anything to spite him. Even if it meant protecting me.

James, referred to more often as "Hook," is actually one of the most feared pirates to have ever existed. As the nickname implies, James has a hook for a left hand, graciously bestowed on him by Peter, who believed it would be hilarious to slice off Hook's hand and feed it to the crocodile that inhabits the island. Ever since the incident, the croc has been following Hook around, just waiting to get another taste. James has an ugly scar just above his right eyebrow and dark eyes that seem to see straight into your soul. Despite the scar, he's devilishly handsome and can coerce anyone into doing anything. He captains his ship with an iron fist and if anyone ever crosses him, the unlucky soul should pray that the good captain is in a merciful mood and puts a bullet between the individual's eyes.

Ever since Hook came to Neverland, he has wanted revenge on two people and swore he would never leave the island until his revenge was complete. The first one would be Pan. The other one is me. I had an unfortunate run-in with the captain on my first visit to Neverland. Apparently, the small locket I had been ordered to steal from him, had been more than just a trinket and he had chased after me to get it back. He followed me to the very top of the mast and where we engaged ourselves in a deadly sword fight. Eventually, I was able to distract him long enough to grab the small flag that flew the pirate colors. I then was able to entangle him within the flag. It was bad enough that he had been bested by a girl, but I decided to humiliate him further by pointing his own sword at him and forcing him to call himself a codfish in front of his entire crew. He did, of coarse, but he has hated me ever since.

I reach my hand up to feel the locket that was the cause of the whole incident. I had decided to keep it in case I would ever need it. It has become a part of me and now I was going to have to trade it away. I figured that the time would eventually come for me to give it up, but the thought still saddened me. A locket for a life. It seemed more than fair.

As I came out of my thoughts, I began to notice that something was off. The drums had stopped. It was time to move.

With spear in hand, I took off once again into the forest. I went quickly and silently, dodging fallen trees and low hanging branches. I listened carefully to my surroundings, for anything that would indicate that the boys were on my trail, but so far nothing. I had just about made it to the beach, when I heard a twig snap behind me. I whirled around to spot a boy that couldn't be much older than nine, aiming a spear at me. He stood boldly in front of me but I could tell from the look in his eyes that he was afraid.

"Pan wants to see you, miss," he said, voice shaking.

"Oh, does he? Then why doesn't he come get me himself?" I ask.

The boy only shrugs and I can't help but think of my own brother. "What's your name kid?"

"Noah. Noah Michealson." he replies, his voice a bit stronger.

"I like that name, Noah. Sounds strong," I praise and he grins.

"Well, Noah. I want you to go tell Pan that I have made it to Hook's ship and that if he wants me, he's going to have to come and get me himself," I tell him and he immediately sobers.

"I'm sorry, miss, but I can't do that."

"And why not?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because he'll punish me. And I don't like getting punished by Pan," he states bluntly, the fear returning to his face.

"Well, I hope that you're prepared for a fight, because I am not going with you otherwise," I reply coolly, readying my weapon. The boy readies his as well, but I can see that he's not very confident about the choice he just made.

"How about we make this into a lesson on fighting, shall we?" I ask and lunge.

He teeters a bit, but is still able to deflect the blow.

"Very good, Noah! But try to widen your base. It'll help your balance!" I lunge again and this time he's ready. He blocks my attack and then goes for one of his own. I easily parry his attack.

After about five minutes of back and forth fighting, I decide that I have wasted too much time already and should finish it up.

"Well Noah, this has been delightful for me and hopefully enlightening for you, but now I've really got to split," I explain and grin. Before he has time to comprehend what I've just said, I lunge, knocking his spear away. I then whip his feet out from under him and am about to knock him out like I did with Davis when he reaches for something around his neck. I quickly realize what it is and try to snatch it away, but he's to fast for me. He blows into the mouth piece and a high pitched whistle pierces the air. And in the distance, I can hear them. The shouts of the lost boys signify that they heard the whistle. And they're coming for me.

I curse under my breath and glare at Noah. He now looks absolutely petrified. Without another word, I strike his head with the wooden end of my spear and dash towards the bay where, hopefully, I'll be able to find James's ship before Pan can get his hands on me.
