A Dream too Real

Wendy's P.O.V

"Well Peter Pan, it has been ages since I last seen you." Hook announced, taking out his sword. I felt my heart drop as I ran over to the head of the ship. Peter had took out his sword as well, his eyes staring into Hook's.

"Where's Wendy?" He asked in a cold voice as he began to inch toward Hook.

"Why talk about her? I thought you would be happy to see my alive." Hook joked, his eyes shining in the night. Peter growled as I saw him make a leap for Hook. Hook quickly took a step back and held his sword up in a defensive position. Peter landed a couple inches away from Hook, his eyes fuming with anger.

"Where's Wendy?" He repeated, taking a slash at Hook to his bad shoulder. Hook evaded the attack and took a quick slice at Peter's neck. He moved rapidly out of the way, blocking the move with his sword.

"Now why would I tell you that?" Hook grumbled, leaning into Peter's sword. Peter took a leap backwards and ended up right next to the railing. Hook cornered Peter and took unexpectedly grabbed Peter's neck with one arm. Peter dropped his sword as Hook held the sword up to his neck, his smile deepening at the sight. "For four years I have waited for this moment…" My heart dropped as I tried to run into the battle, but was prevented my two long arms holding me back. One arm muffled my screams as Hook sliced Peter's neck. Peter fell to the floor as Hook let out a victorious laugh and my eyes widened at the gruesome sight. Hook swiveled around to face me and his crewmember and he signaled for him to let go of me.

"Let go of her, Bradford. There's no harm in letting her look at her long lost love." He chuckled, walking away from Peter. "So long, Peter Pan. It was nice knowing you." He mockingly waved as made his way to the exit of the ship, Bradford following him.

"PETER!" I screamed, running over to the motionless body that was laying against the railing. Blood was oozing from the slash at his neck as his hand clutched my arm, pulling me down to the ground beside him. I knew he didn't have much time left so I quickly grabbed his head and h

"Wendy..." His voice faded as the strength in his arm started to dissipate. I held onto his head as I felt tears running off my face.

"No Peter, don't leave me. Please don't leave me alone!" I begged, pressing my hand against the wound, making an attempt to plug it. But the pool of blood already told me it was too late as he lifted his head to my ear and whispered his voice quivering and feeble…

"I love you."

"She's sleeping Sir." A voice murmured, waking me up from my tormented dream.

My ears became very alert as I kept my eyes shut, not wanting to reveal my awakening. I've been doing this every time someone enters the cabin, hoping maybe I could figure out Hook's plan and find a way to somehow prevent it. I knew tears were running down my face from the dream, so I quickly shifted my arm to hide them.

"She has lost a lot of blood, so inevitably she is going to be very weak." I heard Hook mumble as I heard my bowl of scraps being dragged away. "Be thankful she isn't up and complaining non-stop."

"Ah very good point Sir, but how is she going to agree with the rest of the plan if you keep on torturing her like that? I mean without her-"

"Quiet Bradford." Hook interrupted as I heard him unsheathe his sword. I felt my hands slightly tremble, remembering how Hook had slashed Peter's neck in the something that felt too real to be a dream. "Wendy is just the bait. Tinker Bell will be convinced enough to go tell Peter as long as we have the girl in our possession." I felt the cold, blunt metal of the sword blade touch my bad arm and it took a lot of power in me not to let out a sound. "It doesn't matter what condition she is as long as she is alive." The sword left my arm as I heard Hook say: "Come on Bradford, we don't want to wake up Sleeping Beauty over here."

"Yes Captain." Bradford snickered as I heard both of them leave the room, locking the door on the way out. I slowly lifted my bad arm and looked at how it was healing. The blanket was wrapped around the arm and I slowly opened it, preparing myself for the dreadful sight. I sighed when I saw that the blood had stopped gushing out and the wound was crusted with a mix of both dried blood and dirt. I covered it again, carefully placing it against the window. I took a deep breath and laid my head against the bars, trying to wonder what Tinker Bell had to do with his plan.

Bradford's P.O.V

I looked at Hook walking back to the Captain Quarters and quickly stopped in my footsteps. He looked over his shoulders with a questioning glance.

"Aren't you coming Bradford?" He asked slowly.

"Um…I need to go check on Stanley. I'll be right there Captain." I quickly said.

"Make it quick." He murmured as he walked into the room. I ran back to Wendy's door and looked through the small window. Her eyes were awake and looking out her window.

"She looks so beautiful…." I thought as I held onto the knob of the door. A wave of guilt fell over me as I remembered standing there and watching Hook scar the perfection of her face. Standing there and just watching him do such cruel things to her. I leaned my head against the wood as I thought of all the days I walked passed her room and listened to her softly whimper, my ears aching to the sound.

"Bradford! I need you here NOW!" Hook's voice called. I lifted myself up and rubbed my head, trying to clear my thoughts as I began to make my way to the Captain's Quarters. I looked back once, just before I opened the door and whispered one thing.

"I'm sorry Wendy…"
