Peter's POV
I was having the best morning, Tink and I stayed on the Jolly Roger for a while and well why shouldn't we? It's ours now! No one else is going to be using it. Tink left to go to the treehouse and I went for a fly around Neverland, I loved doing that everyday then I could see it all everyday and not have to stay in the one place because that was so boring!
As I reached the beach I flew closer to the surface of the sand to seeing someone lying there. Maybe it was a pirate that survived, one I could fight with again finally! My day is about to get even better. A fight with a pirate, any pirate was always fun! I laughed and smiled as I reached the pirate, sword at the ready but I gasped as looked at them. "Hook?" I flew above the sand a little to be safe you never know with Hook.
It definitely was him but he didn't move. Even when I kicked his boots a little or his legs he still didn't move. Why wasn't he getting up and fighting?
Why was he being so boring?! Boring is usual for pirates, but Hook was the most fun out the lot of pirates so why wasn't he doing something?! Was he really dead? No, he can't be. If he was really dead then he'd have been eaten the crocodile and still be there and not here on the beach. I sighed after another few kicks at his boots and sat down on the beach.
I felt so alone and I didn't like that, I didn't like feeling things in general and especially not feelings like that. If Wendy only stayed I could have at least someone to have fun with. You know I thought she wanted to stay with me, I thought she liked it here. I thought she wanted to stay when she gave me that...what was called? A kiss? I remember the way her lips felt against mine, they were soft and tasted sweet.
I looked at the still unmoving pirate beside me. I wonder if kisses are a thing grown ups know more about. I think so Hook must know more about them because he's a grown up and if he was ever given kisses or not. I don't know if he has or not. I'm sure he has, I mean he's a grown up and he's clever and is a captain after all. I guess he's a little handsome too, definitely more handsome than any of the other pirates. They were ugly and smelly and just pirates, Hook was a captain.
I looked down to his lips and wondered. Would they be soft and taste sweet like Wendy's or would they be completely different? As I looked at him I forgot about his lips when I saw the blood on him, he must have escaped the crocodile and it must have been a big mess because of all the blood on him. So then he can't be dead can he? I put my hand on shoulder to shake him awake as a different approach when I felt a blow to my head so hard I thought it would fall off.
"You! Pan!" Ok, so he's wasn't dead, then.
As much as I then tried to get Hook to fight with me he just kept messing with me, telling me to go away and he didn't want to fight and he kept yelling. I mean come on when has he ever backed down from one of our fights?! "Come on, Hook! Stop being such a baby codfish and fight with me!"
I didn't like this Hook, he'd yell at me one minute getting me thinking we'd finally fight then he just collapsed to the sand again.
This was no fun at all.
I was about to complain again when I felt pain. Hook grabbed me by the leg holding it in a tight grip and dug his iron hook into my shoulder making me cry in pain. He dug it in so deep! This wasn't fair! Since when did he ever fight with his hook? And he never usually actually hurt me like this. He always just threatened to hurt me. I didn't like this! It hurt so much. He didn't stop his attacks until I spoke. "Hook, stop! I'm not playing anymore it's not fun." He stopped to look serious at me. "Playing? Oh, I'm not playing, Pan. I never have been."
He shoved me away towards the sand and I winced from the pain in my shoulder I wanted to cry it hurt so much. "This isn't a game, Pan. Don't you understand? It never has been. Not for me, anyway, I hate here. I've always hated it here. This was just meant to be a quick trip, a scavenge and then leave again. But our ship had trouble and we were stuck here and now I've spent so much damn time here that I don't even know how old I am! I knew I old I was when I came here but that feels like forever ago! I don't know how time or dates work here!
I want away, I want to go back to my home in London with my family, I want my mediocre job back that gave little pay but it was at least normal and most of all I want my hand back!" He yelled again. "I'm hoping if I return to London from Neverland then it will just be all a bad dream." What? Hook wanted to leave Neverland to go London? You've gotta be kidding me! What's so great about London? Why does everyone want to go there?
What's so great about a family? What's so great about a job? It's so grown up! It's boring! It's stupid! And I don't want it happen!
Hook's not leaving because then I would be alone for real AGAIN and I don't want that.
