Ambiguity (On Hold)

Chapter 2

- Soundtrack - Miss Jackson - P!ATD -

A scarlet dressed pirate with an iron hook stepped into my bedroom, smirking satisfied. I froze. It was clear who that was.

Captain Hook.

All I could think was:
Run, run, run.
But my legs had thought otherwise.
They simply wouldn't move.
"Hullo! Ding dong! Is anyone home?" He said, obviously meaning that he was coming in uninvited.
"You will not come a step closer to me." I said, placing my hands in front of my chest defensively. No way he's driving his sword through me. But he just smiled.
"Lads?" He called, staying in his place.
And that's when I got scared.
Six pirates, buff and scarred, jumped into the room, with evil grins and satisfied laughs.
"Do not come any closer!" I warned. But I was not even convincing myself. Before I could do anything, Hook ordered,
"Go!" And the six pirates launched for me.

"Ah!" I shouted before ducking. Two pirates flew just above my head, face-first to the wall behind me. Just then, another pirate launched at me, and I kicked him just where a lady has to when she's being attacked. I jumped backwards, ducking below Hook, gripping his sword and readying it for a fight.
"Gotcha!" I said, my sword pointing right at his face. But Hook always sees the other possibilities. In a flash, he took out another sword, flew mine off my hands, catched it himself and tripped my feet—
Before I could say "pirate" I was on the ground rubbing my butt.
"Ouch!" I said, but I was not giving up.
In a last, hopeless try I stood up and punched Hook square on the jaw, enough to make an escape. I launched to the door, grasped the doorknob—
Locked.

I shook the doorknob desperately trying to escape, but it was impossible.
"Persistent, I like that." Said Hook. How dare he? The pirates once again launched for me and successfully gripped my arms.

"Do it." I said, giving up. "Just drive it through my heart, and kill me like you almost did to those poor Lost Boys."
He chuckled slightly. "I'm not to kill you yet, m'hearty. Now come on board. We've got a lot to talk about." He smiled again, and I got dragged out of the room into the ship that read:

"The Jolly Roger".

As I struggled to be set free, the pirates tied me to the mast of their boat. We already took flight. The wind messed up my hair and froze my cheeks. The darkness of the night started to embrace me. I couldn't go back home.

"So... m'lady, let's begin by describing you." Hook just came back from the cabin, he was now without his coat and hat. An old chubby pirate followed behind him, that must've been Smee. "Persistent... stubborn... skilled with fighting... strong..." He touched his jaw, which had a barely visible bruise covered by beard, "daring... and uncoordinated. Seriously. Your sword-fighting needs to improve."
All I did was glare at him, not a word escaping my mouth.
"Now... what are the qualities of a pirate? Persistent... stubborn... skilled with fighting... strong, daring... disciplined. I guess pirates and you share a lot of qualities, hm?"
I remained silent.
"Why don't you tell me your name?"
"It's Grace. Grace Quisling." I said. It was better to be called Grace than "m'hearty" or "m'lady".
"Gracie, eh? Well, besides having the personality, she looks the part. Forget-me-not blue eyes, dark brown hair... definitely perfect."
"Oh, what do you want?" I spat.
"We want you to become a pirate." He said simply.
"A pirate!" I shrieked. This could not be happening. "There is no way I'll join you!"
"Well... we'll see." Said Hook. After giving his hook a proud look, he turned around and disappeared into the cabin.

"Peter will come for me you savages!" I shouted behind him. "I know he will!"
