Chapter 8 - It's Dreamshade, Not Nightshade

Shortly after naming the horrid cave we visited for a short period of time, the two mermaids swam away happily with a small wave. My suspicions where correct and Dawn's tail was yellow with hints of orange and red here and there. Not that it mattered that much anyways.

I never really told Peter where I had went, and thankfully he didn't ask questions. But he was confused as to why he couldn't find me. Normally he can find anyone on the island, as long as their feet where touching the ground. It's possible for him to detect someone's there when they aren't touching the ground, it just takes great effort.

When I got back however, all the boys where geared up. They had their cloaks on, hoods up and weapons at their sides.

Where we where going or who we where fighting was an absolute mystery to me, but I didn't ask questions. There was no need. All I knew was I was fighting for my family. All of these boys are my brothers and I won't let anything happen to them. Not even Aaron. Even Pan who's an absolute ass. But for some reason, I think of him as more than a brother. It pisses me off that I have feelings for such an ass.

"Boys!" yells Pan. Slightly offended by his ignorance, I scoff and roll my eyes.

"And girl" he calls, winking in my direction. I blush and get butterflies in my stomach, but I quickly cover it up with a smirk and a scoff.

"Let's Play!"

We all close our eyes and open them once again to find ourselves on the gorgeous sea shore of Neverland. I find myself staring at the water before a yell breaks my gaze.

"Ah, if it isn't Peter Pan!" calls a loud, booming voice. I recognise it for whatever reason and soon realise why when I turn around to meet the one, the only 'Hook'.

"I thought he was in a cage" I scoff, rolling my eyes.

"Well I was. Then a kind fairy just so happened to let me out" he smirks happily.

I must say, he's a highly attractive man. I resist the urge to look him up and down, instead getting into a fighting stance. I'm not sure why we're fighting him, but I know that Pan and all the other boys hate him with all their hearts. That in itself is enough to make me raise my sword, tapping him in the chest with it.

"So are you going to kill me or....?" he pauses, raising an eyebrow. I look around in thought, thinking it through. While killing him would be so much easier, it would be no fun.

"Where's the fun in that? You're in Neverland, this place is run off imagination and belief. Where's your sense of adventure?" I smile, killing him with kindness. I see him lower his defence, finding some trust in me for whatever reason.

I take this chance and lunge forward, pushing my sword towards his stomach but he blocks with his own sword, which I hadn't even known was there. He slowly moved his sword downwards, making an attempt to rid me of my weapon. The only things he's truly achieving however, is making an annoying 'screech' sound while I stand here bored out of my mind.

At some point I get sick of his terrible ability to sword fight and swing my sword to the right, releasing it from the grip of Hook's sword. I look around, wondering what all the other boys are doing. Only now do I realise that Hook brought half of England back with him to fight for whatever reason.

We continue to swing the swords around for a bit, me hitting him and causing blood to flow from multiple places on his body. But I only caught a single scratch on my arm. It shouldn't hurt as much as it does, but it seems unbearable.

"What the hell?" I mutter. Hook says nothing, a smirk playing on his lips.

"I'd say that hurts. Might want to call your boyfriend about that" he pretends to feel bad, chuckling lightly. I raise an eyebrow before realising what he said.
