A Change of Scenery
The sound of a door creaking open drifted into my ear as I was laid against the window of a room. My right arm was completely numb, lying weakly across my chest and my whole body was feeble from the large amount of blood loss. The cold wood of the wall played a nice contrast from the flaming warmth of the crew member's arms, so I placed my head there; eyes too tired to even open and look around. Even though they were closed, I kept my ears awake, listening for any voices in the room.
"There, she should be fine there. Shall we go now, Captain?" I heard the crew member mumble.
"Wait one more thing." Hook groaned, as I heard footsteps approach me and a blanket was thrown at my arm. A shot of pain went through my body as I softly grimaced. "She's going to need it for the blood." They both laughed and walked out of the room, and I heard the echo of the door being locked across the room. "Now let's get you arm checked out…"
The voices faded in the distance as I forced one of my eyes open. The room was completely empty, only with the window that I was against, and the door that was securely locked. Wood completely covered the floor, wall, and ceiling, giving on a musty and eerie feel to the corridor. I slowly sat up as I looked out the window. It was the sky, surrounded in an ocean of clouds and the sun brightly casting a glow on my face. The window also showed a reflection of me, and it wasn't the most pleasant sight. My hair was crusted with blood and my face a victim of multiple scars. My dress was stained with blood as well, like the blanket that lies on top of my right arm. I used my left hand to remove it and was taken back at the merciless sight. My arm was covered in blood, dripping of my limp hand. The cut itself was at least 2 inches deep and I immediately wrapped the blanket around the arm. My wrists were purple with grip marks, but I ignored the pain. I felt tears began to creep out of my eyes as I clutched onto the motionless arm, praying for a miracle.
"Someone save me…"I cried out, my voice quivering as I sobbed into the bars on the window, watching the sky fly past me.
Hook's P.O.V
"Don't worry, Captain, your shoulder will heal soon." Stanford confirmed, putting the last touches on the bandage. I cursed to myself, thinking about the idiotic girl who had put me in this situation.
"It better heal…" I moaned as I stood up, Stanford helping me. "Bradford, statues update."
"We are almost there, Captain. No need to worry." He replied joyfully, polishing his sword. I grabbed his neck with my good arm and pushed him against the wall.
"I asked for a status update, Bradford." I growled, watching the color from his face drain away. "Not for comforting words."
"S-Sorry Captain, I-I meant that we have only t-two hours till we reach N-Never Land." His whole body was shaking in fear as I pushed him away.
"That's more like it. Now scram, both of you." I dictated as I witnessed them both run out of there as if there was a flame chasing them. I sat down in my seat, adjusting some of the controls. "This better work…" I thought to myself as I gulped down another of rum.
My mind wandered back to the last time I saw Tinker Bell. I had just stumbled upon her by chance, but that conversation we had is the reason why I had left Never Land in the first place. "All because of a fairy…" I chuckled to myself, as I replayed the scene in my head, enjoying another cup of rum.
-Flashback-
"And look who we have here." I exclaimed, lifting up the squirming fairy by the wings.
"Let me GO!" She shrieked, punching my hand with all the force she could.
"Now why would I do that?" I asked, toying with her. She eventually gave up and crossed her arms against her chest.
"Just spit it out, Hook. What do you want?" She murmured, eyeing me suspiciously.
"Oh I mean no harm. I just was wondering where your friend Peter is?" I replied, keeping the grip on her wings firm.
"I'm not an idiot, Hook. Why would I tell you that?" She retorted. I noticed her eyes fell for a second when I said "Peter" and smiled.
"Do you even know where Peter is?" I asked, watching for any signs. Tinker Bell began to grin deeply as she answered the question.
"Of course I know where he is. I am his best friend." She pronounced, putting much emphasis on the best friend part of the sentence.
"If you are his best friend, then why aren't you with him?" Her face immediately fell as she looked at the ground.
"He needed to be alone. I am just giving him the space he wants." She replied softly as she began to slightly tense up.
"Oh really…" I stated sarcastically, "So much for being a "best friend" if he doesn't even want to spend time with you. You probably don't know where he is." My eyes darted to her as my plan began to unfold.
"WHAT!" She yelled, her eyes fuming with rage, "Peter is my best friend, and he went off searching for that girl, and told me to keep watch back here and –"She stopped abruptly, realizing her mistake. "Oh no…"
I let go of her wings and let her slowly fly to the ground. "I quite enjoyed this talk with you, Tinker Bell. I would love to stay, but some unexpected plans need to be taken care of. Farewell!" I walked away, laughing to myself as I called for Bradford. "Bradford, set course for Bloomsbury." I ordered, making my way to the ship. "Seems like we will be meeting again, Wendy Darling." I thought as I settled in my seat, pouring myself I cup of rum.
-Flashback end-
"Sir, the girl is crying." Stanford called from the door, interrupting my thoughts. "Maybe we should give her some food."
"Give her some scraps." I answered bluntly, keeping my eyes on the controls. This girl has sent me on a wild goose chase, so I wasn't planning on wasting any good food on her.
"Are you sure, Sir? I mean she shouldn't be fed prisoner scraps-"
"I gave you an order, Stanford. Don't make me have to ask you twice." I demanded coldly, and I heard him let out a quick "Yes Sir, Sorry Sir" and run away to leave me at peace. I brought up the map on the main screen and traced the path we were following. "Never Land, here we come."
A/N~ Two chapters on the same day YAY :P Today I was completely free so I thought I would write the next chapter right away. I did switch up the point of views, hopefully I did justice to Hook's character ^.^ Like I said in the before chapter, I would really like it if you guys can suggest ideas for my next fanfic. It doesnt matter if its in the review section or if you wanna p/m or email is going to start soon so I might be a tad behind on putting up the chapters. So as usual, I hope you enjoy, thanks a ton for reading, and please review :D until next time
