A week later~~~
They kept the little lost girl hidden away with in the Joly Rodger. In a cage. They kept the bracelets on here hand. Only another magical being could take them off. They tied up her hands so she couldn't escape. The left her in their day after day, giving her food in the morning and at night. The didn't care for her in any way. Except Jess.
Jess was Faith's friend. She felt terrible for not knowing what Hook was going to do, taking her from her home. Jess only wanted a Father something she never knew. She wanted to see what it was like to be daddy's little girl. She thought he had a "woman friend" at least who wasn't a random woman he hooked up with while drunk (there was no pun intended). She only thought if that she didn't meet Hook Rufeo might still be alive, Faith would be happy, and she wouldn't be separated from Slightly.
"You know," I said to her. "Hook is my biological Father."
"WhAT!" Jess yelled in a hushed voice. "I had literally no clue."
"Same her girly." I get up from my spot and sit in the back of my smallish cage. "Hey, do you think you can get me out for a day. I'm kind of getting..., well I do have cabin fever. My home was a bloody tree house for God's sake."
"I'll think of something Faith. I promise."
"Faith!" Jess comes running in.
"What," I say irritated.
"Hook's taking you somewhere. Your going to go live with some people. They'll protect you."
"What?! I thought you were going to take me back home. To Neverland."
"I know but," she leans in close to the cage and begins to speak in a whisper. "Pan comes to this village every night. Gathering lost boys. Luring them with his flute. You can hear the flute. You'll be able to get back home Faith."
"Thank you so much Jess."
"What are you doing Jess?" Hook ask.
"Just making sure she understands what were are ." She laughs nervously.
"All right than." He begins to unlock the cage door. I could, if I wanted to, escape now but I know I won't sussed. I stand up and walk as Hook grabs my hands. He pushes me up the stairs and on to deck.
"That is the bloody demon you held down there Hook? She is just a we girl." One of his crew members say. Obviously new for her would have known more about me.
"Don't underestimate her. He magic might be far stronger than the dark one, I've seen it first hand." He escorts me off the ship. "Well love it's time we take you too a new home."
I look down at my feet and on to my boots that are full of memories. My eyes tear up a bit. Hook continues to walk me to a village. We reach the cobble stone path and knocks at a door. Two old woman answer. Hook shoves me to them and cuts the rope that tied up my hands.
"Make sure she doesn't get those cuffs of." He commands. I turn and punch him in the face. I hear Jess chuckle. One of the two woman escorts me in to the house and has me sit on a stool. The other woman hands him a white bean, and Hook leaves me. The other woman turns and faces me, she is about to speak when I decide to speak myself.
"That bean," I say. "It's very magical isn't it. I can sense it. What can it do?"
"How did you that darling?"
"Dont call me Darling! I myself have magical properties." The two woman back away slowly. "Dont worry, nothing dark like the dark one. But I heard I may be stronger than him."
"By whom?" The other woman says. My eyes tear up a bit more.
"I rather not speak on that." And with that sentence I promised myself I would never speak of him to an adult, or to anyone of the matter. I won't talk about home. I won't talk about the boys. And I never break a promise unless something completely stops me. The woman noticed I started to cry and came in to hug me, before I noticed. "Abandoned by my own Father. I wonder about how many people have had that happen to them?"
"More than you know sweetie."
I walked upstairs and into a bedroom. I found the Windows bordered up.
"Ha, you guys knew I would try to escape."
"Yes we did Faith," the woman I know to be Linete said. "Goodnight." She says as she walk out of my room. I stare at the ceiling, and than I get an idea. I rush towards the door and down the stair. "Excuse me but do you have a-"
"Faith please come down here," says the other old lady Donna.
"Well I already am," I giggle.
"Faith we will let you go in a few days. The day before a horrible curse comes, so you can find a way out of it."
"Um... Thank you two so much."
"You're welcome Faith." The say in unison. I begin to walk up stairs when I remember why I came down. "Excuse me but do have a plain book? Like something I could write in."
"Why,yes I do here," Donna says handing me a light brown book. I flip threw the pages to double check the are all plain. "Why?"
"I want to write my story, my never ending adventures." I rush upstairs and jump on my bed grabbing a quill and inc. Luckily I remember how to write. I begin to write in all, I have a plan to hide it so no one can ever find it. I stay up for two days writing in it some how getting all the dialogue correct and all the details.
I sleep than for almost a day. And tomorrow night the curse is going to be set. And than... I don't know what i'll do.
"Goodbye Faith," Donna say giving a hug.
"Faith," says Linete. "Find the dark one if you can. Have him help you get those cuffs off." I hug her. I walk away from them, never looking back. They have been great people to me, for adults. I throw my hood on and walk into the forest. I will find the dark one.
