(One year later)
It's been eight months since pan started to date my Erin... I don't like it one bit. Call me protective but I just know he'll hurt her. Now that Erin's 17 she has a mind of her own but thankfully she's never really been TOO rebellious. But there's something strange going on... she's been coming home earlier and her eyes have been green... a tell tale sign that she's been crying and whenever I ask her what's wrong, she'll just ignore me and barricade herself in her quarters.
Today marks the 43rd day of Erin's strange depression and I think it's time me and the flying rodent had a 'chat'.
"PAN HO!" Pintel (special recognition if you know this movie character!) hollered from the crows nest.
"Speak of the devil" I growled as I watched him with my forget-me-knot blue eyes.
But today there was something different he had three shadows following him...one of them was female... I herd a gasp from behind me I turned to see Maria glowering up at the boy. I made a move to go and comfort her when-
"PETER!" She screamed.
The flying leprechaun skidded to a halt in mid aid leaving his new companions to fly into him. I took out my spy glass and observed them.
(This is the Peter POV!)
"Peter, who is that girl?" Wendy asked voice filled with an emotion I could not explain.
"That's Erin, she's my soulmate" I explained grinning at Wendy.
Wendy looked angry but I think she just doesn't like that hook is spying on us.
"PETER! GET DOWN HERE NIE AND EXPLAIN!" I winced as Erin screamed.
'She doesn't sound to happy' i thought so I decided to take the new lost boys and their mother to see the Pirates and my lost girl.
Hook's POV
The menace flew towards the ship, to my disdain, but a part of me was curious as to what the girl and two boys were doing in Neverland.
"Rinny! I'd like to introduce the two new lost boys John and Michael!" He proudly stated.
"Uh-huh and who is she?" Maria snarked.
He winced and glanced back at Wendy, who was giving him a -what I think was supposed to be a flirtatious look? but ended up being more of a constipated look. Then looked back at Erin and shrugged.
"This is Wendy she-" the boy was cut off by 'Wendy'
"Peter's girlfriend how do you do" the girl smiled maliciously.
I watched the exchange carefully partially enjoying the demons discomfort but wary of what Erin would do... As cold hearted as I am, I refuse to let her become a murderer.
"She's lying I swear I'd never do Anything to hurt you you know that Maria... I love you" he confessed shuffling his feet with a deep red blush upon his face.
Erin looked at him fiercely, ready to tear into him when she saw the pathetic love-struck look he gave her then her features softened. She heaved a sigh and turned to the girl again with an icy blue eyed glare cold enough to freeze the most fearless mans insides... A glare I taught to her I'm proud to say.
"Don't try anything or I'll make you regret the day you were born, is that clear?" She threatened voice deadly calm.
Every head turned in her direction shocked. She's never made a threat before and that worries me. Wendy, clearly trying to get attention, ran to peter and buried her face inTo his back.
"Peter I'm frightened!" She wailed.
But the little she devil turned her head thinking only wrong could see her and smirked. Pan turned to Erin with a glare.
"Don't scare her Rinny, she's the boys new mother and the fist lost girl" he defended Wendy with a disapproving look on his face.
She turned to him shocked and hurt. She was supposed to be the first lost girl... not this stuck up little snob. Erin soon snapped out of it and stalked closer to Pan like a wild, ferocious animal closing in on her prey.
"Are you trying to say you want me to be oblivious to her obvious advances upon you?" She hissed.
Pan backed away slightly frightened by her tone but soon recovered and squared up to her.
"Maybe I do you don't have the rights to tell me who I can and can't talk to Erin" he stated boldly glaring down at her.
"It is her right when she feels her relationship with you is in jeopardy" I defended Erin.
She looked back at me with an appreciative smile. The boy glared at me furiously clearly not liking my interrupting their argument.
"Well I don't want a relationship with her she's annoying!" He shouted.
His eyes widened when he realised his mistake, he turned mouth open ready to beg for forgiveness when-
CRACK!
Erin struck him in the face with her fist. She pulled her hand back breathing erratic and her body quacking with rage.
"You don't want to be with me anymore? Fine. But dint you DARE come running back to me when you realise you've made a mistake it'll be too late."She said calmly.
Although she seemed calm any idiot could tell you she was furious. Pan got up onto his knees to plead, but Erin just turned away and went to go back to her quarters.
But she paused.
"Was it a lie?" She snarled eyes forest green and blazing with a barely concealed fire.
"What?" He questioned confused.
"Was it a lie? All those times you told me I was your soulmate? When you told me how much you loved me?" She asked quietly.
"Erin-" she cut him off.
"How about all the times you told me you'd risk everything for me? Because you couldn't handle living without me?" She asked turning to him clearly angrier than she was before.
Pan stayed silent. Not a good idea.
"WAS IT A LIE?!" She exploded getting in his face demanding an answer.
Pan winced and looked her dead in the eyes and said only one word.
"Yes"
They stayed in that position pan eerily calm and emotionless and Erin ready to attack at any second. I looked at the girl to see a satisfied look on her face before she saw me glaring at her in disgust.
"I hope he kills you" I turned to face Erin again looking at her calmed posture.
"I hope he kills you and your little whore peter" she said and turned away to go back into her quarters again. I stood in shock as well as pan... was it an invitation to kill him now? I was confused and by the looks of things so was pan.
"Why?" He asked.
She didn't bother turning to face him all she did was turn her head to give him a bored side long look with her hand on the door handle.
"Because if I see you or her again you'll wish he had aswell" she said venom dripping from her voice as she opened the door and slammed it behind her.
(Two hours later)
After the days events, I went to see how my baby was doing knowing she most likely would be calm by now. I knocked and entered when she granted me permission.
"Hello princess" I greeted.
She giggled she loved it when I called her princess something she will always be to me.
"Hey daddy what do you want?" She asked turning to sit cross legged on her bed facing me.
I grinned and entered the room fully with two mugs filled with frothy Cocoa and cinnamon. Her baby blue eyes lit up like the ocean at sunrise and she leapt of her bed to me to grab one. We walked in a comfortable silence up to the top deck to admire the stars as we usually would do of a night time just to talk about our day and any random topic that passed through our minds at the time.
"Dad?" She inquired.
"Yes my sweet?" I hummed.
"I'm sorry" she sighed heavily.
I turned to ask her why when I saw she was looking towards the mainland towards the boy. Then I knew what she was apologising for. She was apologising for my having to put up with him for so long, she feels selfish and careless and above all stupid for not seeing it all before. Seeing his careless, Un-loving nature.
"There is nothing to apologise for Rinny" I told her catching a stray tear on the tip of my hook.
She turned to face me with dark green eyes and locked her arms around my neck tightly as she cried quietly. I shushed her just like I did when she was five and when she fell out with pan one year ago. A thought struck me then.
"Erin?" I asked her arms still tightly wound around her.
She hm'd letting me know she was listening.
"Do you remember when you had that argument with pan a year ago?" I asked cautious of the topic I was about to bring up.
She pulled away slightly and looked up at me with her teal eyes questioning where I was going with this conversation.
"You mentioned what your mother would do to you when I was away?" I asked carefully watching her facial expression for any change.
She tensed in my arms and turned her face away from me closing her eyes. When she opened them again they were a shade of green I've never seen before. Jade. She sighed and started to explain to me.
"There's more to why I always loved you more than mom...she used to hit me... call me a mistake and tell me how much she hated me for ruining her life... she used to threaten to sell me off to the brothel if I didn't keep my mouth shut about how she treated me to you... daddy I hated it when you were away she was horrid!" She sobbed into my chest.
I felt rage build up inside me hearing the truth about what Alice was really like. But I couldn't do anything about it anymore I can only be thankful that she's safe with me now. I vowed to myself then that nobody would ever hurt my baby.
The atmosphere around us was morbid to say the least so I decided to brighten the mood.
"So do I have your permission to hurl the little bastard off a cliff?" I asked secretly hoping that she was being completely serious.
She huffed a laugh and looked at me with her tensely teal eyes and smiled.
"Daddy you always forget that peter can fly he won't die falling off a cliff." She giggled at my put out expression.
"Blast it all you ruined my favourite dream" I smirked. But seriously that was my favourite dream.
I was brought back from fantasising on all the ways I could kill the flying imbecile by Erin hugging me again.
"Thank you daddy" she said.
"What for?" I asked curiously.
"For always being here for me. I suppose the inky man s girl can trust is her daddy in this life." She sighed.
I smiled gently at her.
"Anything for you my little light" I said to her looking int her forget-me-knot blue eyes.
"Will I never see your eyes change for myself?"
I whispered absentmindedly to myself forgetting that she could hear me.
Erin giggled and looked at me curiously me.
"What?" She asked laughing.
I've always tried to watch her eyes change but alas I've never been able to see such a wonder. I told her this and she giggled again. We talked into the night like this afternoons events never happened before her eyes started to droop.
"One day daddy, one day" she yawned.
I looked at her confided at first before I remembered our earlier conversation. She was talking about her eyes.
That night we camped out on the deck and decided to sleep under the stars. I started and realised that I had not wished her a happy birthday yet today.
"Happy birthday my Erin. One more year and you'll be a woman." I told her and she giggled curling into my side and laying her head in my chest.
"Thank you daddy I love you... goodnight" she said through a yawn.
"I love you too Rinny" I whispered to her sleeping form.
I pulled her closer and draped my dress coat over her shivering form. And slowly I to gave into sleep and hoped that next year her birthday would be a happier occasion.
If only I'd known how wrong I would be...
