Chapter Seven: A daring rescue
Hook scowled when he saw the sky clear up.
"He's Alive!" He barked angrily. All the noise stopped and Hook grabbed Isabelle by the neck. "Why is he? What is he? Tell us the story of Peter Pan" Isabelle was frightened but she tried not to show it.
"Once upon a time there was a boy who didn't want to grow up" Isabelle began. "So he flew away to Neverland."
"He must have been lonely" Hook sneered.
"He had me." Isabelle said. "and the lost boys" She dared not mention Wendy's name. Hook sneered again.
"Then why did he go to the main land?" Hook asked. Isabelle said nothing. Hook pushed her towards the plank. "Push in" He snarled. Mr. Smee stepped forward, but rather than be pushed, Isabelle jumped off the plank towards the dark and murky water. No splash could be heard and suddenly the faint tick tock of the crocidile's clock was heard.
"The crocidile must have eaten her whole" One of the other pirates said. Nibs face paled, but Tootles shook his head slightly. He knew that the croc would not have eaten Isabelle, Peter had to be behind it, of that he was certain. While the tick tock seemed to get closer and closer, none of the pirates notice Peter, Wendy, Michael and Isabelle when they landed gently on the deck. Peter grinned and flew off. Isabelle and Michael hid behind a very large Barrel.
Wendy crept below deck to the armory room and tried to open the case holding the swords but there was no key so she grabbed a lantern and smashed the glass.
Hook whirled around at the sound of breaking glass.
"Did you hear something?" He asked. The lost boys shook thier head, suddenly Peter dropped down right in front of Hook. The Pirate sneered.
"So, this is all your doing?" He asked. Peter grinned.
"Aye, James Hook. It is all my doing"
Wendy crept back up on deck and handed out the swords while Hook was occupied.
"Attack" Slightly shouted as the lost boys stood up as one. While the lost boys and the pirates fought, So did Peter and Hook. Of course Peter thought he has the advantage of flying, But Hook had already figured out the secret. He grabbed tinkerbelle as she was flying by and sprinkled pixie dust on his head. Peter looked shocked for a split second.
"You want to fly, lets fly" HE laughed as they flew around the ship.
"I know what you are" Hook said as they clashed swords.
"I am the best there ever was" Peter laughed again.
"Your life is a sad story, a tragedy" Hook replied.
"Me, Tragic?" Peter asked, laughing. Hook smirked.
"She'll Leave you Pan" Peter stopped in mid air. "Your Wendy will leave. Why should she stay, what have you to offer her?" Peter tried to fight, but the pain of Hook's words was too much. "Let's take a look into the past shall we. She's in her nursery, the window is shut"
"I'll open it" Peter cried.
"I'm afraid the window's barred" Hook replied.
"I'll call out her name" Peter said frantically.
"She can't hear you, she can't see you, She's forgotten all about you" Hook said softly.
"No! Wendy!" Tears filled Peter's eyes.
"There is another in your place, he is called husband" Hook whispered.
"Stop it!" Peter cried trying to fight, but Hook delivered the final blow and Peter fell to the deck of the ship. All motion on the ship stopped as everyone turned to stare. Hook grabbed Peter by the kneck.
"you will die alone and unloved" he said, throwing Peter to the ground. Just before he could plunge his hook into Peter's heart, Wendy grabbed his arm.
"That's not true" She spat. Hook sneered at her.
"Well, well, well. LEt's let wendy say one final goodbye" He said throwing her next to Peter. Wendy turned to face Peter, tears in her eyes.
"I love you Peter, I always have" She whispered, kissing him gently on the mouth. "I'll never leave you" Hook grabbed Wendy and Pulled her away and Peter began to glow.
"brace yourselves lads" Slightly said.
