"Peter?" I asked into the air.
"I'm here." I heard him reply,as he grabbed my hand for reassurance. I sighed out of relief,for the first time in weeks I was safe.
"Get in then!" I said standing out of the way. He flew in through the window,making sure he was not seen. For a few moments we simply stood there, not knowing what to say or do. He leaned in and hugged me,placing his chin on top of my head. We stood there silent, until I pushed him away in anger.
"Where the hell have you been!" I hissed, beginning to poke him on the chest. " I've been scared out of my mind thinking you abandoned me! You guys were all just chilling in the Tree while I was here scrubbing Hook's floors! What the actual he-"
I was interrupted by Peter placing his hand on my mouth, preventing me from talking any more.
"Don't talk," he said, hand still on my mouth. "Just listen."
I nodded in agreement, wondering what he was going to say.
"First of all, never in a million years would I abandon you. I came to you for your help remember? Secondly, we were not just chilling in the Tree. As soon as you passed out, Hook and his pirates left Skull Rock-taking you with them-which gave the Lost Boys and I some time to check it out. You pretty much destroyed Hook's supplies, but I don't think that would be the only supply one thing is for certain: that smoke that was coming out of that cauldron? That's definitely what's doing this to the Boys."
I put my hand up and pointed at his hand. He nodded and moved it away,allowing me to speak.
"What's the plan now?" I asked, looking into his bright green eyes. "As soon as we get back to the tree, what do we do?"
He looked down at his feet, while grabbing my hands. "I'm not going to the Tree am I?" I asked, tugging my hands out of his.
"Look,I would totally take you back now," he exclaimed, putting his hands on my shoulders while looking straight at me. "But they would totally spot us both leaving! I barely managed to get here unnoticed!"
"So what am I supposed to do? Be Hook's personal slave?!"
"No!" He moaned, turning his head away to look in the other direction. Then something clicked in his mind.
"Peter…" I warned.
"You could gain Hook's trust, then find out where he's keeping the Lost Lost Boys and where the other supply rooms are! Think about it! It could totally work!"
"Yeah it could work, or I would be caught and be thrown into the sea to drown." I stated, unsure about Peter's 'genious' plan.
"Please!" He said, starting to pull a sad puppy dog face. "It would help us soooo much! "
"Okay." I agreed, placing my hands on top of his. "But if I don't find anything, you promise me you'll take me back with you."
"I promise." He replied.
"And also that you'll visit me everyday." I added quickly. As soon as I said that, I regretted it instantly and began to blush, turning red.
"Hahah okay!" He giggled out, kissing me on the forehead as he flew of into the distance. I stared after him for as long as I could stay awake and I soon fell into the most peaceful sleep I had since our eventful camping experience.

The sun light came through the window and into my shut eyes. The light made me squint then moan from the stinging pain. I sat up, touching my messy hair whilst yawning simultaneously. I looked around the room, trying to get my eyes to focus. That's when I noticed it.
A red and black dress was hanging on the back of the door. I stood up, wanting to have a better look at the mysterious object. It was a strapless, made out of fine silk. The top was a tight corset, with black lace tying it up at the back. It looked so perfect;as if it was made for me. I was often told back at home that red looked amazing with my complection and I couldn't resisted the urge to try it on. It was a brilliant fit;the corset was just right. The rest of the black and red silk flowed down to my ankles, like a dress of an ancient greek goddess. "When was this placed into the room?" I said to myself. "Or even who placed it?"
As soon as I said this, I immediately knew who it was. Peter must have snuck back into the room and placed it here. I felt touched; Peter was so sweet! "I don't want to take this off!" I thought,but I knew I couldn't keep it on. As soon as Hook saw me in this,he'd know that Peter came to see me.
Before I could change out, a pirate came storming into the room,grabbing me by the hair. He pulled me out onto the deck, where Hook stood gazing up into the sky. I looked up, wondering what he was staring at. A silhouette figure of a flying boy could be seen from behind the sails of the boat.
"Peter.." I whispered out,grabbing my new dress.
Hook had an angry look on his face, which became even more threatening the moment I said his name.
"What are you waiting for?" He yelled to the pirates, who jumped at his sudden command. "Go get him!"
Hook walked towards me and grabbed me by the back of my neck,all while his head was still up.
"I hope you enjoy watching your precious Peter get killed!" He hissed into my ear, his grip on my neck becoming harder.
I stood there silently,tears running down my face. Why was Peter so stupid!
The pirates began to climb up the masts, trying to reach the rebellious teen. Hook,who up until now was staring up at Peter, turned to look at me. His hook brushed past the scar it left me; wiping my tears away.
"Shh..." he whispered,still wiping away the tears. "He's not that special anyway."
The next thing I knew, Peter came soaring down and landed on the wooden deck. He pulled a striking pose,with his dagger at hand and a cheeky smile on his face. This made me giggle,eventhough Hooks grip on me was hardening and tears were falling down my face.
"Hows the old Codfish doing today?" He taunted, his smile growing even larger.
"What do you want!" Demanded Hook,with a tone of upmost contempt.
"Only to take back what was taken from me!" Peter casually said,winking in my direction,causing me to blush. He began to walk towards us,as if he was picking up a package from the post office.
Hook suddenly tilted my head to the side, pushing away my chocolate brown hair to place his cold hook on my neck.
"One more step!" He threatened,digging the hook further into my skin. "One more step and she'll be as dead as it gets!"
Peter stopped dead his his tracks,staring at me as if asking: "What the hell do I do now?!".
"Peter.." I managed to croak out "Just…go! I'll be fine…I hope…"
He stared at me, and stood there for a few moments in complete silence.
"You better listen to Catelyn,Peter." Hook suggested. " You wouldn't want your little sweetheart to end up dead."
Peter sighed and flew away, off into the distance and soon was out of sight.
I didn't know how long I stood there, gazing up into the sky after Peter,whilst Hook held me in that threatening position.
"Smart move, clever girl." He whispered into my neck,when he had clearly had enough. He began to turn away when he changed his mind and said "You look beautiful in that dress I got you."
Before I knew it,I was standing alone on the abandoned deck,gazing off into the twilight sky as a solitary tear fell down my pale face.
