Hi! I want to thank JakenIzzy1fan for asking ever so nicely for me to update. And I love that little scenario you did, lacywing. Ramona is wild when it comes to Jake being hurt, isn't she?

Disclaimer: I do not own Jake and the Never Land Pirates. They belong to Disney Junior. Though I do own one OC that you will see later in this fanfic.

Chapter 3: No friend left behind

Izzy and Cubby were waiting in their room for Jake to come back. It had been at least 10 minutes since they were shoved out of the room by Peter, and they were getting worried.

"Izzy…" Cubby asked "Do you think Jake is okay."

"I hope so, Cubby" Izzy replied. Lately, Izzy has been having some different feeling for Jake, not the friendly feeling, but more like… she was in love with him.

"I hope Peter didn't hurt him too bad." Cubby said worriedly

"I hope not, either." Izzy said. "Let's go back to see if he's okay."

Izzy and Cubby start out of their room, and head to Peter's room, but are stopped by Peter himself, and they are surprised to see a belt in his hand.

"Just where do you think your going?" Peter asked, tightening his grip around the belt.

"Um… we were going to see Jake." Izzy said, getting nervous.

"Yeah… what she said." Cubby added, also getting nervous.
Peter scowled and grabbed the two pirates by there shirts, and held the belt up to their faces. "You two better just leave him alone, or I'll use this on you." He warned, eyeing the belt.

"Peter, please just…"

"Don't speak, just leave!"

Really wanting to see Jake, Izzy and Cubby escaped Peter's grasp, and made a run for it, with Peter chasing (Well, flying) after them. "Oh, I don't think we're gonna make it, Izzy." Cubby said while running, suddenly he tripped over his feet and fell. "Cubby!" Izzy shouted as she ran back for him. But, before she could reach him, Peter grabbed her arm and dragged her away.

"Cubby! Help me!" Izzy yelled as she was pulled away by the enraged boy. Cubby scrambled to his feet but was too late. Peter had pulled Izzy into a room and locked the door. "You silly girl, you thought you could get past me?" Peter asked angrily. "Well… I… uh…" Izzy tried to say.

"Well, you're not getting away now!"

"Please, Peter. I'm sorry—"

"No! You're going to pay for what you did little missy."

"W-W-What did I do?"

"You won't listen to me, and you've tried to steal from me. Do I really need anymore reasons?!"

"Peter, no… please… don't beat me."

Peter took the belt and snapped it together, scaring Izzy. Peter laughed evilly. "We're getting a bit jumpy today, aren't we?" He sneered.

Izzy was really scared now "No! Please don't!" she pleaded with mercy. Peter grabbed her and forced her out of her pink shirt. Izzy blushed with embarrassment and covered her front with her arms. "You stupid girl!" Peter yelled as he turned her over on her stomach, raised the belt and brought it down on Izzy's back, causing her to scream out in pain.

"Oh, Peter please I—"SNAP!

"Please—"SNAP!

"I—"SNAP!

"I'm—"SNAP!

"SHUT IT, SILLY GIRL!" Peter yelled, silencing Izzy's attempt to apologize. Then she noticed Jake's unconscious body near Peter's bed, she started to panic until SNAP!

"I have to help Jake." She whispered. Unfortunately, Peter heard her and brought down the belt again. "He is beyond your help." Peter said sinisterly. "But Peter, Jake is unconscious… please… reconsider Peter…" she said through tears. "NO! Never!" Peter rejected, bringing down the belt once more, knocking Izzy unconscious. Peter sneered at her and flew out of the room, not noticing Cubby running in the room.

"Aw coconuts!" Cubby exclaimed, looking at the unconscious Izzy on the floor, and the red lines on her bare back. That's when Jake started to wake up.

"Oh… Cubby… Izzy! Cubby, what happened to her?" Jake asked as he crawled over to them.

"I don't know, Jake. I was standing outside when I heard screaming inside." Cubby answered, on the verge of tears. Jake started to get worried. I should've known that going into Peter's room was a bad idea. Why didn't I suggest a different place? Jake thought bitterly. "What did you hear inside?" Jake asked. Cubby now had silent tears running down his cheek. "I-I-I-I think Peter was talking to Izzy… about her stealing… and not listening to him… and I heard screaming…" the dark blond boy choked out. Jake was now even more worried. He looked at Izzy, and saw the red lines on her back. Peter must've beaten her with a belt too. Jake thought. "Did you hear anything else, Cubby?" he asked. Cubby was now crying out loud. "I don't know. I'm sorry, Jake." He sobbed. Jake shushed him. "You have to be quiet, Cubby. You don't want Peter to come back." Cubby nodded through his tears.

Jake quickly picked up Izzy, ignoring the pain in his back. He carried her to their room, with Cubby following. Once inside, Jake set Izzy on her bed. "Now what do we do, Jake?" Cubby whispered. "We'll have to wait for her to wake up." Jake whispered back. Then Jake remembered something… his shirt… and Izzy's. They were still in Peter's room. "Cubby, you wait here. I'm going to get our shirts." Jake ordered. With that, he left out the room. If Peter finds me in his room again, I'm dead. Jake thought as he entered Peter's room. He found his white shirt and vest, and Izzy's pink shirt on the floor. He quickly picked them up.

"So I see you've finally woken up, you little brat."

Jake froze, and then turned to see Peter standing at the doorway; belt in hand, arms crossed, and glare on his face. That's it, I'm dead. Jake thought miserably. "Hi, Peter." He said nervously. Peter walked closer to him, gripping the belt. "Where. Is. The. Girl?! Peter asked angrily. Jake was almost confused until he realized that Peter was talking about Izzy. "S-S-She's in our room, Peter." Jake answered, backing away from Peter. Peter responded by slapping the belt down on Jake's shoulder, making him wince in pain. "Thank you." Peter hissed, flying out of the room. Jake rubbed his shoulder and ran out of the room. "CUBBY! Look out! Peter's coming!"Please don't hurt Cubby. Jake ran into the room, and saw Peter there. Cubby was scared out of his mind. "Cubby, run!" Jake ordered.

"But what about Izzy?" Cubby asked.

"I'll take care of her. Just get away from Peter."

Cubby gulped, and did as he was told. Jake ran to Izzy side to see that she was still unconscious. Still out cold. No friend, left behind. Jake thought as he turned to Peter, who was talking towards him. "Oh, so you're protecting your girlfriend?" Peter asked tauntingly. Jake wished he could call Izzy his girlfriend. He still had the certain feeling that he was in love with her. "S-S-S-She's not m-m-my g-girlfriend." Jake stuttered, trying to put on his shirt. "KEEP THAT SHIRT OFF! I'M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU!" Peter shouted, causing Jake to wince and drop his shirt. Peter grabbed Jake and pinned him down to the floor. "Are you scared?" Peter asked tauntingly. Me? Scared? Who does he think I am? Some weak child? Jake thought as he looked up at Peter.

Something was not right about Peter's appearance.

He looked the same as usual, but the difference that Jake could see was his eyes… they were still brown, but they no longer had that bright twinkle, instead was a dim twinkle. And it looked like there was a hint of red mixed with the brown… almost evil like. And his smile… it wasn't the happy fun smile that Peter had… it was and evil and sinister smirk.

Jake tried to get away from Peter, but it was no use. "Oh you are such a weakling." Peter laughed evilly. Jake could only watch in horror as Peter raised the belt…

Cubby watch from the door. He was scared. What could be wrong with Peter? How did he become this? What happened? Although Cubby was terrified, he knew he couldn't let Jake get hurt. With a bit of hesitation, Cubby slide down the pole of the entrance, catching the attention of both Peter and Jake.

"Don't hurt him... please." Cubby said, trying to be brave. Peter scowled, and walked towards the small boy. "Trying to be brave, aren't you." he sneered. Please be careful, Cubby. Jake thought as he watched. Peter started to swing the belt at Cubby, in attempt to scare him. "You can't get away from me!" Peter exclaimed.

"Oh yeah?" Cubby asked. Before he knew it, he swung his little fist at Peter's nose. It wasn't a powerful hit, but it was enough to enrage Peter even more than before. Cubby was surprised that he did that, and now nervous as Peter glared at him.

"What the heck was that?!" Peter asked angrily, walking towards the young pirate boy. Jake got up immediately to defend Cubby. "He didn't mean it, Peter. Did you, Cubby?"

"I don't know, I was scared." Cubby whimpered. "I'm sorry, Peter." Peter responded by locking the entrance to the room. "Ha. Now you're all trapped!" He taunted. This made the pirate boys even more terrified as they back away from Peter. This is when Izzy started to wake up. "Jake... what happened?"

Jake looked over to see that Izzy was awake. She's awake, and she looks okay too. he thought as he responded to her question. "Iz... Peter locked us in."

Peter looked at Izzy and smirked. "Well, it seems that the little princess woke up."

"Peter please... don't hurt us." Izzy pleaded.

"Yeah... we're your friends, Peter." Jake added.

"Pretty please... with coconuts on top?" Cubby finished.

Peter glared at the three, and attacked, hitting them with the belt as hard as he could. The crew (Mostly Jake and Izzy) made attempts to grab the belt, but only got hit in the process. After a few more minutes, Peter stopped. He started to leave, but gave the crew a warning.

"I WILL be back." He growled. With that, he left. Jake, Izzy, and Cubby was even more scared than before. They had just been hurt by Peter again... this time with a belt. The crew helped each other up, and into their bed. They decided to take a nap for a while. Doing so, they all had one thing on their minds:

This was going to be a long few weeks.

Wow. Peter's ticked. And it was cute how Cubby was being brave (Sort of). It looks like it will be a long few weeks for the crew. I hope you liked this chapter. And keep those predictions on what happened to Peter going, guys. Review, please. Thank you.
