Hi people. I have been having a problem with my writing, which is why my updates have been a tiny bit late. I hope you like this chapter.
Enjoy!
Chapter 15: Peter
"Where's Mia?"
God, Henry really likes her.
"She is working," I said.
"What the heck does she do on the island?" Henry asked.
Oh boy. Think of something quick, Peter!
"Um… She is finding other sources of pixie dust," I fibbed.
Henry nodded, then left.
Sitting down on a rock, I tapped on my black cuff.
Mia was sitting in a tree, watching the group.
"Where are you two going?" Emma asked.
"To get water," David said.
"To find mermaids," Hook said. Really, Hook? Really?
"No, really. Where the hell are you going?" Mary Margret asked.
Hook sighed. "There is something called the sextant."
Emma, Regina, and Mia snickered. Seriously Hook? You couldn't think of a better name?
"The sextant is something that we can use against Pan," Hook continued.
"So, you two are looking for it?" Regina said.
Hook and David nodded.
"Then go, and don't get yourself killed." Emma said. Don't get yourself killed. That is pretty good advice.
They started walking, and Mia was hopping from tree to tree, listening to there conversation.
Once they were a good distance away from the group, they started talking.
"You think you can make it? Even with the dreamshade in your bloodstream?" Hook asked.
"If I die, I will die trying to protect my family," David said.
With a sudden jolt, I realized where they were going.
"Mia," I whispered. Yes, I can talk to her through the cuff.
"Yes?"
"Come back. I take care of them."
She nodded, and started hopping from tree to tree, back to the base.
I tapped my cuff, and waited for her return.
Mia fell out of the tree.
"Why must you fall out of the trees when you come back?"
"Because I feel like it," She said.
Fair enough.
After sitting down next to me, she started fiddling with her cloak.
"Thinking about Hook?"
She nodded. "Can you promise me one thing?"
"Anything."
"Don't kill Hook," She said. "He is just angry that he lost two family members on the same day."
"He wants to kill me."
"I won't let him," Mia said quietly. "I would rather die than live without you."
I probably would've said something else about how much I love her, but I realized that Hook was probably at the mountain.
"I need to go," I said. "Look after Henry."
She nodded, then kissed me on the cheek.
I teleported to the cliff.
Hook was there, about to throw a rope down to David.
"Don't pull him up yet," I said.
Hook dropped the rope. "What?"
"I want to talk."
"Then start."
"Come back and work for me. Like the old days," I said.
"I don't miss the old days."
"What if I gave you something hard to come by." I teleported to him. "A passage off the island."
"No."
"What if I sweetened the deal," I bargained. "You can take Emma with you."
"She wouldn't abandon her son," Hook protested.
"She did once. She could do it again."
Hook sighed. "What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to do my dirty work," I said. "But, I need to see that you have taken the deal. I want you to kill David."
"He is already dying."
"I want to see his body on the peak," I said. " I want to see you kill him before the poison reaches his heart. I want to see your hook in his body. And, that is when I know you have taken the deal."
"What if I say no?"
I got closer to him. "Remember the last time you didn't listen to me? You lost your brother, and your beautiful niece, Mia."
Hook looked livid. "Leave my niece out of this. You killed her. You probably kidnapped her. Hurt her. Then, when you were bored of her, you killed her."
That pissed me off. I took his flask.
"Have a drink," I hissed. He snatched the chalice away from me. "It always helps you think."
David's hand appeared on the cliff. That was my cue to leave.
I vanished, then re-appeared at the camp.
"I probably know the answer, but where did Mia go?" I asked.
"She is going to spy on the parents," Felix whispered to me.
"Good," I said. I let the boys start a party. "How is Baelfire?"
"We moved him to the Echo caves."
"Good."
I sat down and tapped my cuff.
Emma, Snow, and Regina were sitting in a circle. Then, David and Hook came in.
Damn it, I hoped he would take the deal.
"What happened?" Snow asked. "Where is the sextant?"
"The Lost boys got to it first," Hook said.
"Hook saved me," David said. "He nocked out almost all the Lost boys, just so I could go back to you. The ones left retreated back to the camp, but, Hook is a hero." David took his flask. "To Hook."
He took a swig of rum, and grimaced. He then passed it to his wife, who passed it to Emma.
"I don't drink rum," Regina said when Emma passed it to her.
Hook took the flask, then went into the forest. Emma followed him.
"Thank you she said," She said when they were alone, and kissed him.
She went back to the camp.
I tapped my cuff and teleported to Hook.
"You should've taken my deal." I said.
"I didn't like it." Hook said. He looked at the camp. "Emma likes me more now."
"What, you think that kiss meant something?"
"I think it means she is starting to see me for the man I am." hook said
"What?" I asked. "A one handed pirate with a drinking problem?"
"An honest man," He growled.
"Well, what would an honest man like you do with a big, fat secret."
"What secret?"
"You know Neal, right? Emma's true love?"
"He is dead."
"No," I said. "He isn't. And the best part, he is on this island, hidden in the Echo caves."
"No…"
"Yes," I said. "The choice is yours, Captain Hook."
And with that, I teleported out of there.
