(One year later July 4th)
It's been one incredible year since Rinny and Pan's break up and we've grown a lot closer... but I've noticed that she's become a lot more depressed since the boys stopped talking to her because of Pan. It was obvious she really cared about them... and the fairy's, although they don't completely ignore her, don't really keep her company now either and as far as the Indians are concerned she doesn't even exist. It breaks my heart to see her so upset and all over one girl...
Wendy.
I loath and despise the girl for ripping everything she holds dear away from her. Well she won't like what's coming to her when I find peters hideout.
Recently, Erin's been helping me with finding pans hideout since they broke up they moved spots (pretend they weren't in hangman's tree until after Erin and peter split up) and now they could be anywhere. I got a brilliant idea whilst scouring the map with my everything.
"THATS IT! TIGER LILLY SMEE! ERIN!" I jumped up scaring the wits out of smee and making Erin look at me eyes wide in shock at my outburst.
"T-T-T-T-Tiger Lilly captain?" Smee questioned.
"The chiefs daughter! She'll know where Pan is hiding" I smirked to Erin as she slowly caught onto my plan whilst I tapped smee's nose.
"Bu-bu-but will she talk captain?" Smee questioned cautiously.
I sat back in my chair and stroked my hook imagining all the ways I could make the little Indian princess squeal pans location. I looked at Erin seeing her thinking face. I was worried that she would not like trying to hurt a former friend to get to Pan but then she smirked and leaned back propping her feet up on the table with her legs crossed.
"Oh a little persuasion might be in order" I said smirking.
Now I know that she's on board i bounce different ideas off of them both.
"Boiling in oil" i suggest.
"Keelhauling" I suggest again
"Marooning!" I say with glee. While Erin and smee nod their approval.
(Time skip)
It took a few hours to locate the princess but now here she sits in a little rowing boat sitting tall and proud with myself, Erin and smee in the boat with her. She refused to look at any of us she although i did catch her glare at Erin before she was placed in the boat haha! now she knows how it feels to be betrayed by a friend.
Once we reached skull rock I roughly grabbed the princess by her arms and placed her upon a rock tied up to an anchor so that she couldn't move and started to try and get answers out of her.
"Now me princess, this is me proposition" I said with fake kindness lacing my tone of voice.
I looked at Erin leaning against one of the rocks next to Smee who was holding the boat rope in place so we wouldn't lose it or myself to the sea. When Erin nodded at me to continue I did. I bent down onto one knee in the boat to try and intimidate her.
"You tell me the hiding place of Peter Pan... and I shall set you free." I told her pausing in the middle for dramatic effect.
I waited a moment to let the offer sink in to her brain before continuing to try and bargain with her.
"Am I not a man of me word Erin? Mr smee?" I asked them both as back up.
"But of course" Erin answered smiling at me.
"Yes...uh- always captain!" Smee answered crossing his fingers like an idiot.
I ignored it and carried on my interrogation.
"You'd better talk me dear, for soon the tide will be in and then it will be too late" I said trying to get her to listen to me but still she refused to look at me. She was starting to get on my nerves.
"Remember! There is no path through water to the happy hunting ground" I said as a last ditch effort at being remotely pleasant to her.
She still refused to look at me I could feel my blood boiling at her blatant disrespect. I surged forward and grasped her ropes with my hook and lifted her so she was at eye level with me.
"THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TIGER LILLY!" I bellowed in her face.
All of a sudden an ominous voice started to speak somewhere from inside the cave. It was hard to pinpoint due to the voice echoing off the cave walls. I scanned the are and saw nothing. I looked to Erin and saw she was now alert and on guard. And smee being the blithering idiot he is was hiding behind me.
"Did you hear that?" I asked them both.
"It's and evil spirit captain!" Smee blubbered whereas Erin only nodded.
"Stand by Erin, smee while I take a look around" I told them taking out my cutlas as I went to survey the area.
Whilst looking around the other side of the cave I could hear smee talking to himself but when I looked back I saw him with the princess in the boat trying to take her out of the cave. Erin looked confused.
"Odds fish?" I questioned to myself as I scratched my hair with my hook.
Smee was babbling on about something to the princess who clearly wasn't interested in what he had to say.
"AND just what do you think your doing mr smee?" I questioned my blood was boiling waiting to explode but I kept myself calm.
"Just what you told me captain! Carrying out your orders!" He told me merrily.
"My orders?" I grit out through my clenched teeth.
"Why yes captain. Didn't you just say to-" I'd had it I cut smee off.
"PUT HER BACK! YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!" I screamed and kicked the boat sending it flying back towards the rock where Erin was watching the scene unfold.
I grumbled to myself as I was about to start my search again when I heard my voice talking to smee again... Only it wasn't my voice.
"Mr smee! Just exactly what do you think you are doing?!" My impersonator called out. I think I may know who it is.
"Putting her back like you said captain?" Smee stated putting the princess back on the rock that was now mostly submerged in water.
"I said nothing of the sort" the voice hollered back.
"Oh bu-bu-bu-but captain!" Smee stuttered.
I had finally located where the voice was coming from and lo and behold it was Peter bloody pan! I slowly crept my way up to the rock he was hiding by.
"For the last time mr smee take the princess back to her people!...UNDERSTAND?!" He screamed the last word making the entire cave shake and lose rocks to fall into the water startling Erin and smee.
"Eye-eye sir" Smee sighed in resignation.
"Oh and one more thing, when you return to the ship tell the crew to help themselves to me best rum" Pan stated in my voice before I swung my hook down to end him once and for all.
'This is for hurting my Erin!' I thought but then...
"PETER!"
"Here's your spirit smee" I shouted in glee until I realised that shout from Wendy saved him before I could get him and that I only had his hat.
Blast that Wendy!
Pan flew down to smee and Erin and circled them his eyes lingering longingly on Erin's body. That dirty little-
"Why it's Peter Pan" Smee chuckled before glancing wearily to Erin to see her reaction.
I think it's safe to say she was furious. She took a swipe at him with her blades but missed by a hair. He seemed surprised that she would attempt to kill him. He probably thought that she would have forgiven him by now. How very wrong you are Pan.
"SCURVY BRAT!" I cussed as he flew past me taking his hat from my hook.
"Thank you captain!" He said mock bowing to me.
I was livid.
"COME DOWN BOY IF YOU'VE A TASTE FOR COLD STEEL!" I hollered at him.
"Watch this Wendy!" He shouted taunting me and Erin.
"I'd watch your back girl and hope that I don't find you!" Erin snarled before she took off in search of her kill.
Pan looked worried for a second before focusing on me again and diving at my sword. The same song and dance happened as usual he made a fool out of me since he had the advantage with flight whereas I didn't.
In my peripheral vision I saw Erin grip Wendy by the neck and Wendy struggle to get free from her obviously tight grip. Pan didn't seem to care as he flew between my legs and took my flintlock pistol and threw it to smee. Erin, while still chocking Wendy, looked on with worry.
"Try your luck mr smee?" Pan asked and started to zip around in circles taunting smee.
"Let him have it you fool! Let him have it! Come on you idiot! BLAST HIM!" I shouted back at smee not paying attention to pan flying and hovering in front of me.
"Right here mr smee!" Pan shouted laughing and not moving.
Smee being the idiot he is aimed and plugged his ears ready to shoot. I looked to Erin who started to scream at smee to stop. Pan looked to her longingly before his eyes hardened and taunted smee again.
"Hold it you fool! No! NO!" I screamed just before smee took the shot.
I closed my eyes knowing it was too late.
"Daddy move!" I heard Erin yell.
I opened my eyes and looked to her and saw her make a jump for me. I tired to push her away from it but it was too late she jumped infront of me and took the bullet that was supposed to kill me. My whole world stopped and there was a ringing in my ears blocking out all the other sounds. I didn't hear pans broken-hearted wail, tiger Lilly's scream or smee start to cry and blubber to himself that he killed her I only saw their faces reflecting my pain. I saw pans broken expression and smee's horrified look realising what he'd done and Tigerlilly's tears When I finally came back to my senses I fell to my knees beside her dying body and screamed.
"ERIN!" There she lay my Erin...with a bullet in her chest eyes wide and blood pooling in her mouth and chest.
"D-daddy?" She whispered voice hoarse and gurgling due to the blood in her mouth.
I whimpered and gently pulled her head into my lap Pan flew down to her other side tears streaking his face.
"Erin?ERIN?! Please talk to me! Don't leave me! Please! I need you! I LOVE YOU! I NEVER MEANT WHAT I SAID THAT DAY IT WAS ALL TRUE YOUR MY OTHER HALF PLEASE DONT DIE IM SO SORRY! I-" I stopped paying attention to his cry's I only cared for Erin.
As I looked at her she glanced back at me. She tried to lift her hand to my face but couldn't find the strength to...she'd lost too much blood.
"Daddy...I l-love yo-u" she rasped.
"Oh my rinny, I love you too. But you can't die I won't let you! Who'll drink hot cocoa with me at night? Who'll calm my nerves when the crew become too much to handle? You're my baby, my everything I won't let you leave me you have your whole life ahead of you and I promised you I'd show you the world. I promised you I'd take you out of Neverland let me keep this promise." I cried. She was smiling faintly at me her eyelids becoming heavy.
"It's okay daddy...I've been ready for a while." She whispered.
I lifted her into my arms and cried more.
"NO! You can't leave me your all I hold dear in this world!" I wailed.
She just smiled.
"Daddy you have the crew...find a way off this island for me. I don't want you to suffer here anymore. You're all I had to live for and I'm Happy knowing the only person that truly loved me is alive because of me." She said.
"That's not true!" Pan said looking at her with a fierce look in his eyes Wendy standing behind him looking indifferent to the situation.
" I LOVE YOU!" Pan cried.
Erin just laughed.
"No...no you didn't." She said turning to me again.
We watched each other for a long minuet before something happened that broke me all over again.
(One year on July 4th)
Erin died in my arms that day at the age of 18... after she passed the rest of the island soon found out. The fairy's lost their pixie dust and became big, the Indians disappeared to god knows where, the lost boys drove Wendy and her brothers away blaming Wendy for replacing Erin in peters life and then joined my crew to be closer to her, in a way...and the boy...disappeared to the mainland one day and never returned. He meant it when he said he loved her he grieved as much as I did but the difference was it was his fault she died in his eyes. But that doesn't matter now. Everything has lost its beauty now that she's gone. Everyone on the island once believed it was the boy who kept the island alive but no...it was Erin... she was Neverland and now she's gone.
And here I stand with two cups of hot frothy cocoa looking out at the night sky. I looked to my left and I saw her...my Erin standing there smiling at me like she never left I smiled back. I blinked and she was gone. My smile faded.
Breath.
Looking back on my last moments with Erin.
Breath.
I remembered how she was still smiling and how blue her eyes were.
Breath.
Then I remembered seeing that smile tremble and falter.
Breath.
And then seeing her eyes transition from blue to green.
Brea- BANG!
My final thought was how incredible it was to finally see her eyes change colour... if only the story was different.
Wendy's POV
And then the boys found him, his eyes wide open and a smile on his face with two broken cups of hot chocolate lying next to him... and a bullet hole in the back of his head. He couldn't stand life without her... so he ended his life to join her. Tragic really when you think about it... but now they're both happy and they're together again.
THE END.
BONUS!:
I opened my eyes and closed them again instantly. Wherever I am it's too bright. I placed my hand over my eyes and opened them again this time waiting for my eyes to adjust to the brightness.
"Daddy what did you do?" A distant voice asked me.
"Wh-what?" I questioned back.
When I looked around again I saw I was in the middle of the ocean in a little rowing boat with a 4 year old Erin...Erin...
"What's happening Rinny? You died." I told her my voice breaking on died.
She smiled at me gently and took my hands in hers to stop me from rowing.
"Daddy do you remember when we went rowing when I was 4?" She asked me tilting her head like a confused puppy.
"I remember.. that was my favourite memory of you." I told her softly.
"Well Daddy this is your heaven! The way heaven works is it takes your most favourite memory and plays it for eternity so it never ends. We're both dead now you ended your life remember?" Then it suddenly came back to me.
The pain of losing Erin, not being able to cope without her and the hot cocoa next to me before I shot myself in the mouth.
"Erin...I'm so sorry. But I couldn't live without you." I explained.
She just smiled again before climbing into my lap and cuddling into my chest.
"It's okay daddy. Your happy now...that's all I wanted."
FIN.
A\N: not really sure if I like this ending just yet even though this is how the story is supposed to go with Erin sacrificing herself for her dad and then everyone mourning her but I'm not sure about hook committing suicide yet so let me know what you think? And suggestions for other stories are welcome! Oh and just to clarify that a year in never land would be like a day on earth in this story so not to get confused with how long Wendy and her brothers were there for.
