Neverland

Caught

 "Woah, woah, woah, you're Captain Hook?" Alex asked for the third time, she was still trying to understand how on earth Captain Hook could be so, well, attractive!

 "Yes, yes and YES! Now, if you'll excuse me, since whatever you need help with doesn't seem to be that important, I have somewhere to go." Hook turned to walk away but Alex grabbed his arm and tried to pull him back.

 "No no! I'm sorry, I'll stop asking questions but please, I really need your help!" She pleaded, he sighed and turned around.

 "Okay, what is it?" He asked, finally giving in, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

 "Peter Pan kidnapped me, or whatever, maybe he didn't it's just what someone told me, but I need to get back home and I don't know how to get there. I was wondering if you would be able to help me. Mainly because for some reason in my head I think that because Peter Pan is the bad guy and supposed to be the good guy that must mean you have to be the good guy because you're supposed to be the bad guy. You get it?" She explained, he looked at her as if she had just turned into an alien.

 "I'm sorry love, but that made no sense whatsoever, but considering that little rat is involved I may as well help you, but I have to be honest with you, I've never heard of someone on this island getting off of it." He told her, she felt like the whole world had just fallen around her.

 "There must be some way, I mean if Peter can get in and out of Neverland surely someone else must have the ability." Alex hoped, Hook decided it was best to let her stay positive and didn't tell her the truth, that Peter was the only one who was able to do that.

 "Look, I'd love to help you, well not really, but I can't, I have a job to do and I can't have some teenager following me around everywhere." Hook told her and began walking away from her.

 "Oh yeah, because you already have a teenage boy haunting you." Alex spoke coldly, Hook was her only hope so she really had nothing else to lose. She walked away and didn't look back, she honestly knew at the back of her mind that asking Hook was a lost cause. Alex really didn't know what else to do so she just wandered in the direction Hook came hoping it would lead her to the sea.

 Hook forgot about the desperate girl within a few moments, but the one thing he remembered was the last thing she had said to him, 'you already have a teenage boy haunting you' how right she was.

 "Fuck sake, Killian, stop thinking and look." He thought out loud, there was a rustle in the bushes in front of him, he smirked. "Ah, my old friend Peter Pan, come on out." He spoke out, the person in the bushes didn't move. Hook frowned and walked towards the bushes, confused as to why Peter hadn't popped out of nowhere to scare him. He saw a hand pop out of the bushes accidentally, but before the person could pull their hand back Hook grabbed it. He pulled the person out of the bushes, a girl.

 "Hey, get your hands off of me!" The girl screeched, Hook forced her to turn around and look at him, it was Cecelia. "What are you looking at?" She growled at him, he let her go and looked around.

 "What exactly are you hiding for?" He asked, she crossed her arms and looked him up and down.

 "Why should I tell you?" She asked, he frowned, he was not in the mood for putting up with another teenage girl, though this one looked a bit older than the other one. "Fine, I'm hiding from Pan, he's having another one of his little tantrums." She told him and rolled her eyes.

 "Those are never good, what's put him in a bad mood this time?" He asked, she chuckled to herself.

 "He's pissed off because I let his new prisoner escape, I would have thought he'd be quite happy considering he got a nice kiss from me." She explained, Hook's eyes widened.

 "Do you know where I can find him?" He asked, she shook her head.

 "No sorry, he's gone looking for the other girl, what was her name? Alex I think, but yes, he's gone to look for her." She told him, Hook nodded an looked around once again.

 "Why exactly are you still here? Shouldn't you be trying to find somewhere to stay or something?" He asked, Cecelia sighed.

 "Can't, it's complicated, he has something of mine and I need it back, without it I can't get home, somewhere I haven't been in years." She explained, he raised an eyebrow.

 "Hold on, you only look like you're about seventeen, what age are you really?"

 "I'm twenty-four, but I don't tell anyone that, I just say seventeen." She told him, his eyes, once again, widened but he snapped himself out of it.

 "I don't know why I'm still talking to you, I have to go find this monster." He told her as he walked past her.

 "Hey Hook!" She called after him, he turned around. "I don't think you'll be able to take him on on your own." 

 "Are you proposing we join together, because I don't think you'd be a very good companion on my team." Cecelia chuckled at this.

 "Oh trust me, I think after I take back what he's taken from me you'll definitely want me on your side." She tempted, there was a moment of silence and he sighed.

 "Fine." He complied. 

 Alex was feeling tired now, she didn't think she was ever going to make it to the sea then the ground began to feel sort of looser. She crouched down to check if she was imagining it or not, she wasn't!

 "Oh my god! I made it!" She gasped, she ran the rest of the way until she reached the sand. As she stood on the sand seeing Hook's ship in the distance she realized something. She had no idea what to do now. Where to go, who to talk to? She had no clue.

 "Confused?" She didn't even turned around she just ran as soon as she heard the voice, but of course he was too fast, he was in front of her in a flash. 

 "Please don't take me back there." She begged, he mocked a sad face and wrapped an arm around her.

 "Well then, we can go somewhere else then, just as long as you and your new friend is separated." He told her, she tried to run to ship again but he just pulled her back without any effort. "You have to relax." She scoffed.

 "Relax? How can I relax when I'm paranoid that you're going to lose it at any moment?" She asked, she began to feel a boiling rage within her, she was never this angry before. "Oh yeah, and how was you're little make-out session with Cecelia?" As soon as she said this Peter smirked.

 "Is that jealousy I hear?" He asked, the one thing Alex hated was cockiness and that was definitely one of his worst qualities.

 "You wish." She growled, he chuckled and extended his hand for her to hold, she almost laughed at him.

 "You might want to hold on to me, seriously." He informed her before blowing some sort of sparkly dust in her face, she coughed numerous times.

 "Never." She spoke through coughs, he shrugged.

 "Suit yourself, suddenly Alex couldn't feel the ground under her feet anymore, she could feel herself rising up into the air and screamed. She forgot herself and wrapped her arms around Peter, she didn't even care at this moment, she just wanted to get back onto the ground.

 "Put me down, put me down!" She shouted at him, he shook his head, and held her tightly as they flew forward, Alex thought she was about to hit a tree at some stage, she never stopped begging Peter to let her down. Eventually they came to a small clearing in the woods, Peter set them down on the ground gently, Alex was so caught up in the fact that she was now on land that she forgot she was holding onto Peter. That was until she looked up to see how close they were together, he winked at her and she pushed him away and sat on a log.

 "Do you want to get some rest?" He asked, she nodded, adding a yawn for emphasis, he closed his eyes for a moment and then when he opened them he walked over to a tree and flattened his palm against the thin air. The barrier was back up. He walked over to Alex, who was half asleep on the log, he took her hand and guided her to another clearing with a smaller amount of space. There was a tent in the clearing, Alex was too tired to question why or how it was there. She just climbed into the tent and curled up in a sleeping bag which was already inside the tent. Peter looked in to make sure she was asleep and then smiled.

 "Night, dear." He whispered.
