Thirdly, I want to thank my friend, TiffOdair for writing this part out with me on paper. So, enjoy the second chapter!

Chapter 2: Searching for answers (To no avail)

I wonder what happened to Peter? Why is he so abusive now? I know we all did a good job looking after Never Land for him? What made him think we did poorly? This is going to be a long week if this keeps up.

This was what was going through Jake's head right now. He really needed to ponder what was going on with Peter. He wouldn't normally abuse them like that. He would never do that. Jake thought.

Jake had made it back to the hideout was about to go clean his nose when Izzy noticed him, and she gasped at the sight of his nose covered in blood.

"Jake!" Izzy exclaimed "What happened to your nose?"

"Uh… Peter happened…" Jake said miserably. Then he looked at Izzy's face and noticed a red hand mark on her right cheek "And… I suppose Peter did that to your cheek."

"How did you know?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Hi guys." A small voice greeted. Jake and Izzy turn to see Cubby covered in sand.

"Let me guess." Jake said matter of fact. "Peter did that to you, Cubby."

"Yeah." Was the sad response.

Jake sighed. What was going on with Peter? Why did he abuse me, Izzy and Cubby? Why is he being so vicious? Where did we go wrong? What did we do wrong? These were the questions that were going through Jake's head, and they needed answers.

"Okay, crew. I'm going to clean my nose, and I'll be back to discuss this situation." Jake announced. With that, Jake left to go rinse the blood off his nose; afterwards, he came back to the room. His nose was still throbbing from the punch Peter gave him, and was a light red/purple bruise now.

"Yay hey, no way!" Izzy exclaimed. "Your nose, Jake. It's all…"

"I know…" Jake said miserably. The three young pirates sighed. They all had just been physically abuse by Peter Pan. Their friend. Their main leader .They had to know what happened to Peter, and why he's acting like this. Normally whenever he was mad with the group, he would just lecture them. He would never hurt them physically, so why is he doing this now? What happened to him?

"Guys… what do you think happened to Peter and why he's been acting really evil to us?" Jake asked.

Cubby piped up "Maybe he got hit in the head by a super coconut, and a huge one!"

Jake couldn't help but chuckled at that possibility. Cubby always had a big imagination, for a small little boy. Izzy then suggested "Maybe he got bitten by a wild animal or something."

"Well what ever happened, we have to find out." Jake said. "But now, we might have to avoid Peter the best we can, don't speak to him unless he speaks to us. Now that he's like this, we have to try our best notto anger him, or it could result in some serious damage to us."

"Maybe we should check Peter's room first, maybe there's something in there that can help us." Izzy suggested. Jake suddenly got worried, knowing what Peter did to Izzy; he didn't want her to get hurt again. Lately, Jake had been having some different feelings for Izzy. It was as if… he was falling… in love with her. Jake decided to go with what Izzy said and think about this love situation later.

"Okay crew, but we have to make sure Peter doesn't catch us. Who knows what he might do to us next." He announced.

The three pirates start to tiptoe to Peter's room. Jake looks in to find it empty. "Okay, the coast is clear." He whispered. The crew looked around to see if anybody else was there, and tiptoed into the room. "Okay, crew, start looking." The crew looked and looked, but they seem to find nothing that could help them.

"This is hopeless." Cubby said sadly "We're never going to find anything."

"Don't worry, Cubby." Jake said hopefully "We find some—"

"What on earth are you three doing?!"

The crew jumped at the sound of that angry voice. They turned and saw who it was… Peter was standing in the doorway and he didn't look very happy, in fact, he looked rather furious.

"Oh… hi, Peter…" Jake said nervously. Darn it! We're in trouble. Jake thought bitterly. "Uh… we were just… uh…"

"You see… we were… um…" Izzy tried to say.

"We… I… um…" Cubby also tried to say.

Peter didn't bother to wait for an answer any longer, marched over to the three, and attacked. Before Jake, Izzy, and Cubby knew it, they were being hit, slapped, punched, kicked, and thrown to a wall all at the same time by Peter, who was raging.

"You stupid little kids!" Peter shouted as he continued. "I already warned Izzy before, and you come back into my room. Idiots!" Then, he kicked an object across the room, which hit Jake. The three young pirates were now on the floor, bruised and a bit bloody from some minor cuts made from glass that Peter had thrown at them. If you were outside the hideout while all of this was happened, you would hear glass breaking, things falling, a twelve-year-old, eleven-year-old, and eight-year-old screaming in pain, and a thirteen-year-old yelling in rage.

"Please… Peter…" Jake pleaded weakly "Don't do this to us…" This earned Jake a painful smack from Peter.

"Don't speak to me!" Peter said. He turned to Izzy and Cubby. "You two! Get out! Jake, you stay!" he demanded

Izzy's eyes widen and she protested "No! We can't leave Jake all by himself… with you." She said it so merciful.

Jake couldn't help but smile a little at Izzy's protest. Maybe she was in love with him.

"I SAID GET OUT!" Peter yelled. With that, he shoved the two young pirates out of the room, and then turned to a now frightened Jake. Uh oh. It's just him and me now. Jake thought as he back away from Peter.

"W-W-W-What are y-you g-g-going to do to m-me?" Jake asked and stuttered in fright. Peter glared at Jake for a moment and then ordered "Take off your shirt."

Jake nearly yelped at that order, and was about to ask why until Peter pointed a dagger at him as a warning that said "Run… and I'll kill you." So Jake reluctantly took off his white shirt and dark blue vest.

"Good, now turn around so I can see your back, and get on your hands and knees." Peter ordered again, his tone getting darker.

"But why?" Jake asked

"JUST DO IT!"

"Okay! Okay!"

Jake gulped, and did as he was told.

Then all of a sudden. SNAP!

Jake let out a cry of pain. He turned his head to see that Peter was holding a belt! Where did he get that? Jake thought as he saw Peter raise the belt again.

"This is what you get for not obeying your master, you little maggot." Peter said, bringing down the belt once again, causing Jake to cry out once again.

"But Peter…" SNAP!

"Shut up!"

"I'm…" SNAP!

"I said shut up!"

"I'm sorry…" SNAP!

"I don't think you're sorry!"

Jake said in between snaps, with Peter yelling at him to shut up. After a few more painful and brutal slaps, Jake fell unconscious from the pain. Peter looked at Jake with one last glare before flying off to find the others.

"It looks like he paid. Now those other two will pay... painfully."

Oh no! Jake's been knocked out! Poor thing. And what will happen to Izzy and Cubby? Will they get the same treatment as Jake did right then. And keep those predictions on what happened to Peter going guys. And review, please thank you.
