Camo’s P.O.V.
It was dark outside and I was running so far away. Before I knew what was happening, a set of hands covered my eyes and I was being tied up. I didn’t even struggle. I was too tired. Too drained to do anything.
“That’s a good girl now!” Scmee said. “Just like Hook said. He said you wouldn’t even put up a fight.”
“Hook?” I asked before I was gagged.
“We’re finally going to kill Peter Pan.” One of the pirates said. I tried to scream but it was muffled because of the cloth in my mouth. I tried to run away now but I couldn’t. Tears came down my face but I couldn’t wipe them off. The pirates dragged me away to James’ ship. This is what he had wanted all along. James didn’t care about me; he just wanted to kill Peter. He used me and then destroyed what I had with Peter. I should have known that people can never change. He has always been a bad guy. What made me think he’d be any different?
When we got to James’ ship they hoisted me up onboard. I hit the deck hard and just barely opened my eyes. I saw a pair of black, glistening boots and knew they could only belong to one person. I tried to yell at James but the gagging prevented me. He came down to me and sat me upright then ungagged me.
“You sick and twisted bastard!” I yelled at him.
“Now, now Camo, we knew it would come to this eventually. Do you really think I would let Peter live after he ruined my life? And after it was clear that you chose him over me? I don’t think so.” He smirked.
“Fuck you.” I seethed at him.
“No. Fuck you because I actually loved you Camille. I admit, that at first this was my plan to win you over and then crush Peter but then I actually fell for you. But, you still love Peter. Of course. It doesn’t matter though because for once, Peter Pan is going to lose. And I will be the cause of his downfall, even though you have your fair share in this.” He stroked my cheek and I turned away from him. He’s partly right. If I hadn’t have cheated with him all of the time ago then Peter wouldn’t be in danger.
“Don’t kill Peter, just kill me if you’re so bitter about it.” I told him.
“I wouldn’t kill you Camille.” He said. “It truly is Peter that I’m after. And besides, if I kill you, how will I lure Peter here? I’m sure he’s already on his way by now.”
Libby’s P.O.V.
“Hook has Camo.” Nibs told everyone. “I just overheard some of the mermaids then I came back here to tell you but he has her gagged and tied up. We need to save her.”
“The pirates want a war.” Peter concurred. “And it’s a fucking war they’re going to get. Gear up men!”
“Hey what about women?” Anna asked.
“I’m not allowing Libby out in battle with the baby but the rest of you, it’s your decision. And Nibs, you decide for yourself too. I completely understand if you want to stay back.” Peter said then turned to everyone. “This means war. There could be death so know that if you come then you are putting yourself in danger.”
The severity of the situation filled the room. I sat down on the couch, I was useless anyway if I couldn’t help. Nibs came and sat down by me while everyone else prepared for battle.
“Are you leaving?” I asked him.
“It’s up to you.” He told me. I looked up into his blue eyes. I didn’t want him to go. Every inch of me was screaming for him to stay but I knew they would need everyone. I knew Nibs could be a game changer for them and they needed him. I couldn’t be selfish.
“They need you.” I said, trying to hard not to break. He held me and kissed the top of my head.
“Take this.” I told him and put my heart necklace around his neck. “It’s a little girly but it’s good luck.”
“I love you.” He whispered then kissed me.
“I love you too.” I whispered back. While everyone was moving about he just stayed with me. I honestly with all of my heart didn’t want him to leave. We stayed like that until everyone was almost ready to leave.
“I promise I’ll be back.” He told me. We held hands and walked to where everyone was gathered again. I noticed Kathleen and Tootles were missing.
“Where are Kat and Tootles?” I asked.
“They’re getting the Indians. And Mary and Binky left to get the mermaids. Tink is rounding up the fairies.” Peter answered.
“I can’t believe this is really happening.” Kelly said. She and Steph had gone all out with the camouflage. Everyone was pretty much wearing all black and they had different weapons in their hands. I noticed Nibs had grabbed his arrows and bow. I was going to be here alone.
“Libby, after we leave lock up the doors and only open them if it’s us. We’ll knock four times and then state our names. If anything happens…there’s the treasure chest in the back rooms. You use that to live off of.” Peter said gravely. I nodded and gripped Nibs’ hands tightly.
“We need to go over our strategy, but first, I have some things to say to all of you. I know we’ve been on each others’ nerves and there’s a lot of tension but we need to let it go. Whatever grudges or ill feelings you have towards each other you need to let go of. Tonight, we fight together. Tonight, we silence Hook once and for all. Neverland is finished being terrorized by Hook and his crew. We take no prisoners tonight. We are fighting for our lives; we are fighting for the good in the world; we are fighting for the future of Neverland, for our children.” At the last part he looked at Nibs and me. “Tonight is a night that Neverland will never forget. One way or another, they will write about this in history books. Tonight we fight. Tonight we win.”
After Peter’s speech they strategized. There were so many hugs and kisses from everyone before we left. We all had one last group hug and then they began to depart. Nibs was the last one to go out the door. He turned back to me and kissed my stomach and then my lips.
“Come what may.” He smiled at me, quoting one of our favorite movies.
“Come what may.” I repeated. Then he left and I closed and locked the door behind him.
“What the hell am I going to do?” I asked to no one in particular as I started to sob.
