I slide down and put my head in between my knees, I sit there until sun rise.

Pan hasn't came in to check up on me or to apologies.

I don't eat breakfast I just get out of the tree house and go to the sea. The sea is my calm place.

I get there and I see a ship. I'm saved! But who is it? I walk to the ship but then stop. Do I really want to go? Then someone grabs me, I kick and yell. They put their hand over my mouth.

"Shhh pretty girl." It's a male voice, it's not Pan's. I can tell he had too many bears. They pull me to the ship.

They're pirates all of them. Ok where in the bloody hell am I?

"She seems shock." I turn to the deep male voice "She must be one of his favorites."

The male man as a hook for a hand and-. Wait hook for hand! 'And if you see him with Captain Hook then stay out of his away.' He must be Captain Hook.

"Captain Hook." My voice is a whisper.

"Oh, you heard of me." He smiles at that.

He walks tours me. He examines me closely. "What's your name girl?"

Should I tell him? Why does he want to know? How did he even get here?

"Ummm... my name is." He takes his hook thought my light blond hair. "My name is... is Maylee."

"Maylee.." He has a confused face then it's a smile "What a pretty name."

"Let her go." He waves his hand and turns.

"But sir." He turns back around.

"Now!" The man lets me go.

I don't run because where would I go, and Pan doesn't want me here.

"Follow me." Hook walks down the stairs to the bottom part of the ship. He picks up a bottle "What some." he puts it out in front of my face

"What is it?"

"Skoch."

"Oh no thanks." I push it away.

"So why didn't you run?" I had a feeling he would ask that.

"There's no reason to." He chuckles a little as he brings his drink up to his lips.

"So how did you end up here?" I really don't feel like explaining that to him.

"Just a bad past, I think anyways." He puts his drink down on a chest.

"I thought he only took boys."

"I thought kids could only get here, and yet here we both are." He looks at me with a smile, but I'm shock that I even said that.

"When you meant bad past what exactly did you mean?" Should I really explain that to this man?

"Well, it's just my mom died not too long ago, and after her death my stepdad was so heartbroken that he started drinking." Before I could finish, he said something.

"He hit you, didn't he?" I just nod and he got angry at that "And your dad?"

"I don't remember that much; I was too young. My mom just keep saying that he had to go on trip, but he never came back." He looks down at the ground.

"He wanted to come back but he couldn't." He whispers so quietly that I almost couldn't hear him.

"Who? My dad?" He looks back up.

He looks in my eyes "You have green eyes."

"Yeah, so" He looks away to the sea from the little round window.

"Never mind." He looks backs at me boom we here from the top of the ship "Stay here." he runs away but I grab his arm he looks backs at me "I won't let him hurt you." I let go and he runs to the top.

I hear yelling then fighting, I get in the corner and fall down and put my head in between my knees again.

*FLASHBACK*

"You can't just leave with some chick!" my mom yells at my stepdad. I'm on the couch watching tv.

"Don't tell me what I can and can't do?" then I hear a slap and I know. I go to my room and lock it. Now the yelling is muffled.

Even though I can't hear him slap her again it still plays in my head. I coral up in a ball in the counter of my bedroom and cry.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I feel someone tap my head "Maylee it's ok." I look up.
