Peter’s P.O.V.
We flew through the air at top speeds, our gear clanking against us. All I could think about was saving Camo. Even though she cheated on me and cut me to the core…I need her. I know I’m supposed to be with her. I know I shouldn’t defend the fact that she cheated on me, but I now realize all of those times she was telling Hook that she couldn’t go back to him. She was saying that she loved me.
This girl understood me more than I understood myself. She was a natural born leader, just like I am. She really was the mom of the lost boys. She’s taken care of all of them and the girls too. I don’t know where I’d be without her. I knew Hook was using Camo as a trap. I just had to be quicker and smarter. Two steps ahead of him. Which is why I’m sinking his fucking boat with the bombs I had put in there at the beginning of the day when I saw him sneaking around the hideout. All I have to do is light the fuse in those little suckers and get out within a minute. They’ll never see it coming. First, I’m going to get as many of those codfish as I can. And I’m going to kill Hook myself.
“I see them!” Kelly whispered.
“Remember the plan. No one gets left behind.” I told them and then we all dove towards the ships. I could feel the salty air sting my eyes and hear the roars of the pirates’ cries. I zeroed in my vision on the pirates surrounding Camo and went for them, slashing and bashing wherever I could. There were so many of them. I could hear the cries of people in angst all around. Blood was splattering everywhere. I saw Camo briefly.
Her eyes were shut tight and she was crying so hard. She had blood specked all across her and she was tied up. I was soon attacked by what seemed like hundreds of more pirates. I just couldn’t get close enough to her.
I slashed through thirteen more pirates before I got to see Camo again. She stared out in horror and I followed her gaze. Tootles.
Tootles was crying out in pain. He had been sliced across the arm and it looked bad. Steph swooped in killed the pirate Tootles was fighting. She yelled over to me.
“I’m getting Tootles out!” She shouted then shifted Tootles onto her back and flew out. There were too many pirates. I needed to get under and light the fuses.
Mary was very close by and fighting a pirate when she stopped suddenly.
“Dad?” She asked loudly.
“Mary?” He smirked. Her expression was that of amusement.
“Huh. Well then.” She said then stabbed his heart right through his chest. “That’s for me and mom you fucking loser.”
More pirates kept coming at me. I ducked, dodged and stabbed away. I’m positive I’ve never killed so many pirates in my life. I saw Scmee get pushed overboard and he had a big box of treasure in his hands. Many men were abandoning ship. Sadly, I saw Indians also fallen around me, not just the pirates. I also saw the chief beating up two pirates and smashing their heads together.
I turned and saw Binky and Marmaduke fighting back to back and killing left and right. I whistled them the signal to wrap it up and get to Camo. I briefly saw Anna and Slightly kicking so much ass together. They looked like they have been practicing for this for a while. The devastation surrounding me was immense. Bodies and blood were strewn everywhere. The water around us was turning red and washing up on the shores to stain the sand red as well. Men were dying left and right. This was never supposed to happen. Not in Neverland.
The fairies were flying around everywhere and causing havoc. They were dropping canons onto pirates’ heads and pulling hair and taking the pirates down. Even the Indians came on board and started tomahawking pirates. I turned and saw Nibs fighting three pirates by himself. He immediately took down two by using them against each other when he was about to take out the last one. Suddenly, an arrow came flying straight at Nibs chest. A scream rose up in my throat as Nibs stumbled back but the arrow didn’t go through him. It bounced off like he was wearing armor. Nibs quickly killed the last pirate he was fighting then pulled a necklace out of his shirt. The arrow must have hit the necklace! That lucky bastard! I smiled to myself even though there was complete chaos surrounding me.
Explosions were going off left and right. The ship was swaying dangerously due to the mermaids using their resources.
Mary was going all kung fu on them with Kelly. I don’t even know what she was doing. Curly was climbing down the bottom of the boast to get into the underside. He apparently had gotten the signal and was taking the liberty of going to light the fuses. I ran to Camo as fast as I could and undid the rope from her and got the rest of the cloth that was gagging her out.
“I love you.” She cried. “I love you I love you I love you.”
“We’ve gotta get out of here Camo.” I told her. “I love you too.”
She smiled but then her eyes budged and she fell into my arms. I saw that Hook had hit her hard with a bat looking object. Before he could even make another move I thrust my sword right through his heart. His shocked expression and the last words he muttered I’m pretty sure will never leave me.
“I knew it would be you Peter Pan.” He said and then proceeded to choke up blood and fall over.
“EVERYBODY WE HAVE FIFTEEN SECONDS!” Curly yelled then shot up into the sky.
“Oh shit.” I breathed out when I realized I had Camo. Her heart was still beating but she had a huge gash on the back of her head. Blood was pouring out.
“PETER GET OUT!” Marm screamed. I quickly hoisted Camo up onto me and flew up as fast as I could. A few seconds later I was in the air. Almost everyone was there.
“Steph, Tootles, Kelly, Mary, Anna and Slightly had to go back to the hideout. I have to get back to Libby.” Nibs wheezed then took a look at Camo. “Oh my fucking God."
"She has to be okay." I said desperately. She looked up at me and smiled then turned limp in my arms. She muttered something about sleeping.“Camo don’t close your eyes!”
