Hi! I've decided to put up this chapter up today after I put up the last one yesterday (I'm a fast updater.). I want to thank JakenIzzy1fan for reviewing again. Again, I love the third scenario, lacywing. Ramona decided to go soft on Peter since he didn't hurt Jake last chapter. Anyways, here's chapter five. This one contains some friendship between Jake and Izzy. (No romance, just friendship) Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Jake and the Never Land Pirates. They belong to Disney Junior. Though, I do own one character that you'll see later in this fanfic.
Chapter 5: Friendship
A punch.
A powerful punch.
Jake's blood ran cold when he saw Peter's fist make hard contact with Izzy's throat. She screamed in pain, and started to choke on her sobs. Peter smirked, and said: "That hurts, doesn't it?" The young pirate girl coughed, and rubbed her throat, only for Peter to punch it again, nearly making her choke herself. Jake struggled with his bonds again. He couldn't let Izzy get hurt anymore. He just couldn't.
I need to save her before it's too late. Jake thought as he struggled some more. As he did so, he watched as Peter threw Izzy to the floor, on her stomach, and took out his dagger. Uh oh. Jake thought franticly. What's he going to do now? Peter kept one hand on Izzy's back to keep her from moving, and pulled up her night gown a little to reveal her injured legs.
"Now, let's see if I can make these cuts bigger." Peter said sinisterly. With that, he started to drag the dagger along some of the tiny cuts on Izzy's legs. Blood immediately pour out, and started dripping fast. Peter saw this, laughed, and continued making long cuts. Izzy screamed out in pain as the blade sliced her sensitive skin. Each cut got longer and deeper. Jake couldn't take it anymore. He had to get out of this bonding. He had to save Izzy from this torture.
He looked around, and suddenly spotted his sword, lying against the wall beside him. Making sure that Peter wasn't looking, Jake shuffled towards the wall, until he was close enough to reach the sword. Glad that his wrist weren't tied together, he began to cut the rope. Once he got every knot, he was free. This suddenly caught the attention of Peter.
"Well… you've escaped. You're clever, Jake. But not as clever as I am." Peter growled. Jake pointed his sword at Peter and ordered: "Get away from her, you jerk!" Peter just laughed, and pointed his dagger at Jake. This caused a big sword fight between the two, and Izzy watched carefully to see what would happen. Who would win?
The fight went on for about five minutes, until the boys stopped, for both were very tired. Peter started to leave, but shot Jake and Izzy a death glare and warned: "You just watch it, you two. And you better get ready for tomorrow; because you've got a lot of work to do." With that, he left.
Jake was breathing heavily. He was glad that Peter was gone for now. He looked at Izzy and saw the long and deep cuts on the back of her legs. Realizing that he was doing nothing about it, Jake carefully picked up Izzy in his arms, and laid her on her bed, face down. "Hang on, Iz. I'm going to get the first aid kit." He announced as he left the room for a moment. When he came back, white box in hand, he rubbed Izzy's back soothingly as she cried in pain.
"It hurts, Jake." She sobbed.
"I know, Iz." He replied.
Jake opened the box, and found a white wet cloth. He used the cloth to dab at the cuts, while rubbing Izzy's back as she winced at the contact of the cloth. When he collects all the blood that was dripping, he grabs a needle and some thread. "Okay, Iz. I'm going to stitch your legs up. Some of these cuts are pretty deep. And I don't want them to get infected." With that, he stitched away. Izzy winced as the needle pricks her skin, but she remains calm and let's Jake do his work.
"You're good at this, you know." She complimented. Jake blushed a bit. "Gosh… thanks, Iz. Usually, you're the one that always treats our injuries. And now, I'm the one treating your injuries." Izzy giggled. She knew that Jake was always there for her if she was there for her. She was grateful for him, as he was for her.
Jake had soon finished with the stitches. There were a lot of them, but they were enough to put Izzy's skin together. Jake then got out some gauze and tape and wrapped up her legs, so the stitched wouldn't pull apart. Jake even treated her throat, placing an ice pack on it, for it was a bit bruised from Peter's punch. Izzy looked at Jake with gratefulness. "Thank you, Jake. Thank you for not letting me get killed." She whispered. Jake smiled. "No problem, Iz; you that I'm always there for you, even if I'm not actually there."
Izzy giggled again, and gave Jake a light kiss on the cheek. This made Jake blushed even more. Izzy saw this and giggled. "You liked that, didn't you?"
"Yeah." Was all he said.
Cubby came in to see the two pirates sitting on Izzy's bed. "Is Izzy, okay?" Jake assured him. "She's fine." Cubby smiled. "Well that's good. I'm going to wash up. Okay?" Jake nodded his head, and Cubby left. Jake turned back to Izzy, who was getting a bit sleepy. "Jake… will you… sing me a song, please?" she asked.
Jake was a bit hesitating, but agreed. "Sure, Iz. Let me sing a song I heard before. It reminds me of how a good friend you are, and to remind you that you're not alone. And when we first met." With that, he started to sing.
I bet you didn't notice, first time you're heart was broken
You woke me up and we talked 'til the morning
And the time that you were stranded, I was there before you landed
Those people were no shows; I made sure you got home
And I've right there, for every minute, and this time is no different
Whatever happens you should know…
'Cause you're not alone, girl
Look over you're shoulder
You don't have to wonder
'Cause you know, you know, you know…
That you're not alone girl
I'll be there to hold you
I'll stay 'til it's over
And you know, you know, you know…
That you're not alone…. That you're not alone…
All that days that you were stressed out
Feeling like pulling your hair out
They were all missing, but I was still listening
You've gotta believe in me, and even if you can't see me there
I'll catch you when you fall
'Cause I've been right there, for every minute
And this time is no different
Whatever happens, you should know…
Cause you're not alone, girl
Look over your shoulder
You don't have to wonder
'Cause you know, you know, you know…
That you're not alone, girl
I'll be there to hold you
I'll stay 'til it's over
And you know, you know, you know…
That you're not alone… that you're not alone… you're not alone…
I'll be here for you, no matter what comes around the corner
As long as I am free, then you won't have to worry no more
Cause you're not alone, girl
Look over you shoulder
You don't have to wonder
'Cause you know… you know…
'Cause you're not alone, girl
I'll be there to hold you
I'll stay still it's over
'Cause you know, you know, you know…
That you're not alone… that you're not alone… you're not alone…
That you're not alone… that you're not alone… you're not alone…
I bet you didn't notice, first time your heart broken
You woke me up, and we talked 'til the morning
As Jake finishes the song, Izzy is half asleep as she whispers:
"Thank you, for that lovely song, Jake. Where did you hear it?"
Jake's answer was simple: "At some store when we were visiting the real world."
Izzy yawned and lied down on her bed. Jake pulled the cover on her, and patted her on her forehead. He then went to his own bed. Before the two fully went to sleep, they exchanged a few words:
"Goodnight, Jake. You're a true friend."
"Goodnight, Izzy. You're a true friend too."
Awww! Wasn't that sweet? Jake sure is a true friend to Izzy. And that song that Jake sung was "You're Not Alone" by Big Time Rush. I changed some of the lyrics around so it would fit the story more. If you haven't heard it yet, look it up on Youtube. Well, that's another chapter for today. Chapter 6 is on its way (Sunday, maybe). And keep those predictions on what happened to Peter going, guys. And review, please. Thank you.
