Dazed, Alice finally woken from the abduction. Her head was swimming, and there is was a metallic taste in her mouth causing a soar throat. She remained completely still and listened, wondering if her captive was lurking. A bag had been thrown over her head, her wrist and ankles were tied behind her back. She could her foot steps drawing closer. The stranger picked her up and began carrying her. He could her laughing and birds calling. Fear was begging to take hold, She could feel her heart racing, and her breath heavy. her captive set her on her knees and they removed the bag. She knelt before pirates and their hook-handed captain.
"My my my you are a pretty one." The captain said scrapping his hook against Alice's chin. Alice stared blankly trying to calculate everything. The captain seemed vain, he was the only one on the ship with clean clothes, and polished shoes. Is long red captains jacket was finely tailored. His shoulder length black curly hair was clean and well kept. And his eyes, were the color of ice and just as cold, when Alice looked into them she saw nothing. He began circling his pray, tracing his left handed hook threw her messy hair. When he stopped he smile wickedly at her, Alice felt a chill run threw her.
"Scared girly." His men chuckled and snorted.
"Why should I be?" His smile turned into a snarl. "I don't even know who you are?"
"Oh well excuse me, your majesty," he bowed sarcastically, his crew laughing. Alice could tell that he knew who she was."I am the dreaded captain James p. Hook."
"I think you've made a mistake Captain Hook. I'm not the one your looking for." He threw his head back and laughed.
"I know you are, that boy pan led us right to you." Her heart sank and she swallowed hard.
"Who?"
"Don't play dumb with me girl." He yelled "I know he came to your room last night and stole a kiss." Alice felt the fear thicken. "That boy marked you as his prize but now I have you."
"What do you want from me?"
"Oh we've already taken what we want from you already." He held the small golden chest up.
"Give that back you vile scum." He hook was once more at her neck.
"I am the captain of this ship, and you have no power in Neverland."
"Why did you bring me here." his smile was haunting.
"To make Peter Pan suffer." Her body felt cold. "lower the crane lads, go fishing." Alice could here a crane being lowered, then a pirate leaned over and latched the hook to her tied wrists.
"have a nice swim." he said licking her cheek. the crane began raising her off the deck, forcing her to stand.
"Wait lads, we almost forgot the shackles." they attached the ball and chain to her ankles.
Alice remembered the tortures the Red Queen performed. One of which was called the Strappado, this is what the captain planed on doing to her. She felt herself being raised higher, her arms could no longer bend. She stood on her toes trying to prolong the inevitable. She heard a pop in both shoulders and the searing pain in her arms. She could hear the screams, but it did not feel like it was coming from her. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she could see the wicked captain. The crane began moving her over the water, the shackle slid across the deck and threw a gap in the handrail, the weight pulling her down. She felt herself free falling, then being engulfed by salt water. As the water filled her lungs, the crane raised her out of the water. She gasped and screamed from the pain.
"Keep screaming girly!" She heard the captain. Her gasped and wails were not enough for him. Alice felt the pain in her arms as she was lifted higher above the water.
"HOOK" the familiar voice shouted, being some hope with it. She raised her head to see Peter flying towards the ship. "What are you doing you filthy rat!" He stopped short having spotted her. "Aa aa Alice?"" He sputtered.
"Do you like my catch of the day, boy?"
"Let her go hook, this fight is between us."
"You dragged her into this. If you really want to save your sweet heart then surrender." Alice was tempted to beg Peter, The pain in her arms was unbearable.
"How do I know she will be safe? I can't trust you." Hook signaled to his men, and the crane moved Alice back onto the ship. The ball and chain clanged against the deck as Alice collapsed in front of the captain. He grabbed her by the scalp and held his hook to her throat.
"Do we have a deal boy?"
"Swear you will return her home unharmed."
"Surrender first."
"Please Peter!" She cried. Hook laughed.
"You hear that lad, she is begging you. Are you going to save her or should I let my crew have their way with her." With the captain focused on Peter, Alice used her last bit of strength and stole his pistole from his belt. She cocked it and held it against his foot.
"Release me or you will have have one less limb!" He laughed and removed his hook, kicking her away. Peter stood in front of her, blocking the pirates.
"You will never get her off this ship, so its best for both of you to surrender." The pirates moved in closer. Peter bent down to her.
"Alice, do you trust me?" she knotted. In one quick swoop he cut the ropes around her wrists and tossed the shackles along with Alice into the water.
The ball hit the ocean floor. Peter swam down to her, pressing his lips against her and giving her air. Alice never felt so helpless as Peter picked the locks on her shackles. one fell off, but peter left her. In a panic Alice inhaled, the water quickly filled her lungs. She moved violently in the water, trying desperately to reach the surface. Her exhaustion eventually got the better of her and she fell unconscious. Peter returned, but this time alice did not except the air. Peter picked the other shackle and swam off with Alice. He pulled her onto the sand, knowing Hook would be close behind them.
"Alice." He tapped her cheek. "Alice please wake up." he put her hands above her head, tilted her chin back and filled her lungs with air. Alice began coughing up the water, he picked her up and carried her bridal style in to the wood lands of Neverland.

Alice spent most most of the day slipping in and out of consciousness. The only thing she saw was the red headed boy calling her name. When she finally awoke she found herself laying in a hut made of earth and logs with a fire pit in the center. Her hair had been brushed and her shoulders relocated. There was an awful smell that she recognized as witch hazel that had been rubbed on her shoulders and ankles to relieve pain. tea and bread was set out on a tray for her. it was still hard to lift the food to her mouth. the sweet smell of the pennyroyal tea coaxed her enough to drink it. the warm cooling sensation rippled through her body relieving the rest of her of pain. She then eat the bread.
"how is she?" she could hear peter out side.
"I don't know, she is sleeping." Peter opened the cloth to the hut. he was instantly at her side.
"Alice how are you feeling?" he cradled her in his arms.
"How did I get here Peter?"
"I don't know."
"Did you bring me here?"
"No Alice why would I?" she did not reply. He picked up the bread and tried feeding her, but she refused. "You should eat." he tried kissing her cheek but she she sat up and walked out of the earth hut. She was surprised to see indians village, but the people weren't just natives, there where people dressed in Roman attire, Africans, Chinamen and even knights in armor. These people from all parts of the world, from different periods of time. "Alice what are you doing. Your not well." she didn't reply, instead she started walking away trying to find her way to the water. Peter landed in front of her, "Alice what do you think your doing?"
"What do you think." she continued walking, and he continued blocking her.
"Are you mad at me?" he grabbed her wrist, but then released it realizing how badly hurt she still was. "Do you think I brought you here?"
"I don't know Peter. I did not see who brought me here."
"Then why are you mad at me?" Alice began tapping her foot in impatience.
"If you have not forgotten, I was being torture by pirates. I want answers Peter." He took a step away from her to gather his thoughts.
"I never wanted you to get involved."
"Involved in what? Why am I here? What did you do that that captain needed me?"
"I will take you home." he said leaning forward trying to take her hand. instead she slapped him. The villagers who had not been watching the quarrel now were.
"I can not go back. That captain stole my chest. The key to wonderland is in that." Peter looked at her in shock. "I am not leaving with out it." A native girl a little younger than Alice approached them.
"Is everything alright?" her English was better than Alice could have imagined. she looked at the girl, she was pretty with long black hair in a braid and carmel skin. Peter still stood stunned rubbing his cheek.
"Where can I find the pirate captain." All eyes were on Alice. Several villagers gasped, one even dropped a bowl. But Alice stood determined to get an answer.
"Miss?" the girl asked
"Alice."
"Miss Alice, I do not think you understand the servility of the pirates."
"I've dealt with worst." she stormed off into the woods. she felt the wind rush past her, and tight grasp around her.
"No ones ever slapped me before." he whispered, "I should really teach you some manners." He though her over his shoulder and carried her off kicking and screaming.

"Where are you taking me!" he chuckled
"Home…" peter flew up into the air and released her. Alice fell into a tree hollow tumbling through a slide and finally emerged in an unground room. Peter stood in front of her is hands on his hips smiling. Several young boys stood around him.
"Meet your new mother" alice's jaw dropped in shock. the boys cheered and swarmed alice pulling at her night gown and asking for stories.
"Now boys, it isn't polite to crowed, let mother and father spend some time together." Peter picked her up carrying her to a room shrouded by a curtain. He threw Alice onto his pelt covered bed and climbed on top. She tried to push him off, but he was persistent. He kissed her neck and pressed his pelvis against hers. she struggled and kicked but it was no use.
"Come now Alice, you are in Neverland now. The laws of Wonderland do not apply here. we can do what ever we want." Peter's hand worked its way into her night gown, trying to find its way into her.
"No Peter!" she muffled under his kisses. she tried crossing her legs, but he pushed them open. "you can not do this." he pressed his body weight to whisper into her ear.
"this is my kingdom and I can do what ever I want." his hand was rubbing against her pantalettes. She felt something else rub against her, the dagger sheathed in is belt. She pretended to give into him, this drove him wild. Peter loved the chase and in the end he always got what he wanted. Alice grabbed the dagger from its sheath and held it against his groin. Peter starred confused at her.
"Get off!" He did as he was told, he learned not to meddle with her when a knife was in her hand. "If you follow me… I won't hold back." She darted threw the curtain.
"Mother!" The boys called as she ran passed them, without looking back. She had to get away from him.
She ran threw the strange woods. She could hear the trees moving as if peter was flying above her. She through the dagger at a knot in a tree to demonstrate her abilities. She retrieved the dagger and kept running. She eventually found herself in a clearing the sea. She looked around listening. She didn't trust being out in the open. Alice hid in the hollow trunk of a Sunland Baobab, hidden behind a large bowlder. The knife clutched tightly in her hands. "Alice!" Peter was looking for her. "Alice!" she could here his voice getting closer.
'Please go away' she sobbed. eventually his voice remained in the distance.
"Mother!" She could here the boys now. She covered her ears and closed her eyes. But she could still hear everyones voice in her head, calling here name.
