Chapter 13: Skull Rock

Third Person

The lost boys took Hook and Tinkerbelle to their camp, and trapped them in cages. "Let us out of here!" Hook banged against the cages, they were made out of wood but were still very strong.
"Can't." Felix replied. It didn't look as if he minded that much, and he probably didn't. "Pan's orders."
"What does he want with my daughter?" Hook cried, still fighting against the wooden bars, uselessly. Tink was sitting at the end of the cage, quietly. Knowing there was nothing left to do.
Felix ignored him. "Pull them up." He ordered, and the lost boys obliged. They pulled their cage up until it was the exact same hight as another. Hook narrowed his eyes to see clearer.
"What the bloody-"


Mya's P.O.V

After Peter dragged me into the forest, he dragged me into a dinghy and rowed us to a creepy-looking cave detached for the main island.
"Ouch. Your grip hurts." I winced as Peter pulled me by the wrist and into the skull-shaped cave.
"And your complaining voice irritates me." He retorted.
"You wouldn't have to hear it anymore if you let me go." I suggested, adding a touch of sweetness to my voice.
Peter snorted. "I can think of better ways to shut you up."
I gulped. I did not want to know what those ways were.
Pleased with himself for keeping me quiet, Peter lead me into Skull Rock through some small entrance tunnel. It was dark inside and I couldn't see clearly. I would have most likely tripped if Peter hadn't been dragging me along. And got lost.
My silence didn't last long since I started asking what we were doing there about a thousand times, getting no response apart from a few annoyed groans. When we reached the end of the tunnel, and I could finally see the light of the sun. Actually, the moon.
I noticed we were at the heart center of the rock, and through the openings in the ceiling I could see the night sky. I drifted my eyes away from the sky and towards a giagantic hourglass.
"If I haven't asked this enough already... What are we doing here?" I inquired exhasperated.
"Your level of patience is overwhelming, really." He commented sarcastically.
"It can get worse. Trust me. So tell me why we're in this creepy cave." I demanded. "And also, what the hell is that?" I pointed at the massive hourglass.
"You'll find out soon enough why, and that, is an hourglass."
Well no duh. "Oh really? I thought it was a slightly deformed sand box." I was getting really tired of his shit.
"Funny." He said dryly. "Now, I'm going to offer you a deal."
"What kind of deal?" He looked at me with all seriousness. Which was kind of scary, I'll admit.
"That hourglass defines the time left in Neverland." He explained, completely changing the subject. "As you see it's still quite a lot, but that will change through the years."
I furrowed my eyebrows. "I don't understand... I thought time stood still in Neverland."
"Time seems as though it never passes. It does. Just in a different way."
"So what happens when it runs out?" I asked cautiously.
"Neverland disappears. And everyone here along with it."
My lips parted slightly. Neverland? Disappear? Surely that wasn't possible. "I don't believe you."
"You should. Your belief here is the key."
"The key to what?" I hated all these mysterious statements he gave that never really made ant sense.
"To saving us all." He explained. "When I first arrived to Neverland I was told I was the first human to actually try and live here. And that couldn't last forever. They gave me an hourglass-" He gestured towards it "to show me how much time I had left." He started circling me. "Obviously I had to ask if there was any way to prevent the end coming... And there was."
"What was it?" I wasn't sure I wanted to know.
"The heart of the truest believer."
"What does that even mean?" I asked confused.
"It means I must have the heart of the person that has the strongest belief."
"You mean spiritually or..."
"Physically."
"Oh." I replied lamely. Still trying to figure out what I was doing here. "And have to found the owner of this heart?"
"As a matter of fact, I believe I have." He stopped circling me when he reached the spot in front of me. He had an evil glare in his eyes.
I looked puzzled for a moment, and then I realized. "Crap." I cursed under my breath.
He smirked. "Took you long enough."
"Ehm... Are you a hundred percent sure it's me? I mean, where's your proof? I couldn't even congure up a piece of pie do you really think I'm the person with the strongest belief because if that's the case then what has become of the world we live in! I mean, there must be someone else with a truer belief or something I honestly don't think it's me so you probably shouldn't go through with this whatever it is." I babbled for about ten minutes more until he had the good sense of shutting me up.
"Do you ever stop talking?" He asked retorically. Obviously annoyed. "If anything you should be begging me not to kill you, not giving me reasons to."
"Sorry, I tend to get nervous when I'm about to die. Happens sometimes, you know." I shrugged it off.
"Whatever." He rolled his eyes. "Now, about our deal..."


Third Person

Hook looked bewildered in seeing all his crew trapped into one cage. The sight of them all squished together would have made him laugh on other circumstances. But his daughters life was in danger, knowing Pan.
"Captain? Captian!" One of the crew members cried out in joy. "You're here to-" Save us. But as he saw Hook found himself in a cage exactly like theirs, he realized that wasn't the case.
"How are you even here?" Hook inquired, uselessly. He had expected Pan to do something to his crew. This was probably better than slaughtering the lot.
"Those boys attacked us when you sent us to the island. We couldn't defend ourselves." Another crew member explained.
"Pan was there too." The first one added. "He said he didn't want anyone interfering. And that's why he had to take us here."
"Infere with what?" Hook demanded.
"He didn't say, captian." He replied.
Of course he didn't. Why would he? Hook cursed at Pan under his breath. Whatever he wanted with Mya, it wasn't good. He needed to find her. But how could he- "Tink!" He exclaimed.
The fairy glanced up at him, raising an eyebrow quizzically. "What?"
"You have magic, don't you?" Hook asked, hopefully.
"Not much. I left it at my tree house. Where it would be safe." She told him.
"Do you have enough to get us out of here?"
Tink shook her head. "I can try. But I'm not powerful enough to beat Pan. With his dark magic he must have made this cage unbreakable, he would have predicted me to have magic. It's not worth waisting what I have left."
Hook sighed, his head down. How could they get out of this cage? Then an idea popped into his head. "Tinkerbelle... Do you have enough magic to send a message?"
She frowned. "Maybe. But to who? There's no one left on this island to call."
"There is one person." And to get to these lengths, Hook was really desperate.

He just wanted to save his daughter and get the hell off of this hellish island.


I might be a little rusty.. or a lot.. Please keep reviewing and letting me know what you think! Next chapter will be longer, and hopefully won't be out in five months :/ sorry again about that3
