"Cecelia, please, we need to rest." Alex begged, Cecelia shook her head and continued to walk quickly.

"We have to find them." She told her for the seventh time. Alex struggled to catch up with her, but when she did she grabbed on to her arm. Cecelia angrily turned around to give out to Alex.

"What are you doing!?" She demanded, Alex held up a finger to pause her, she needed a moment to breath.

"Look, I know you want to find Hook and all-"

"Pan! I want to find Pan, not Hook!" Cecelia snapped, Alex sighed.

"Fine, Pan, but seriously, what are you going to do with no sleep? You'll find him and then what, you'll just fall asleep in the middle of a battle?" Alex questioned, Cecelia wasn't convinced though.

"I'll be fine, you on the other hand, if you're not strong enough then you can rest and then use your magic flying skills to look for me in the morning." She told her, Alex frowned.

"If I was going to use my flying skills I may as well use them to find Pan and Hook myself without you. But I won't because we are in this together, you hear me, Cece?" Alex told her, Cecelia was taken aback by the name 'Cece' the only other person who ever called her that was her mother. Finally, after a lot of persuasion, Cecelia gave in.

"Fine, now we have to find a place to sleep." Cecelia complained, Alex rolled her eyes but was grateful that she was finally going to get some rest. They found a clearing inside of a bush, where they would both fit in together.

"Goodnight, Cecelia." Alex mumbled, half asleep as soon as she lay down.

"Night, Ally." Cecelia answered, Alex smiled at the nickname as she drifted off to sleep.

When they awoke they heard shouting come from near them. Cecelia was the first to wake up in alert, she shook Alex awake.

"What?" Alex grumbled but Cecelia put her hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. As Alex got up she moved Cecelia's hand away and listened.

"Stop! Leave me alone!" They heard a voice screech.

"Oh my god, do you ever shut up?" One of the lost boys asked in frustration.

"Now now, Tom, we mustn't be rude." They now heard Peter's voice, the two girls peeked through the bushes to see what was going on. There was a young blonde girl trying to struggle free from a lost boy who was holding on to her arms. Then there was Peter who was just standing and being his sarcastic self.

"Who is that girl?" Alex whispered to Cecelia who just shook her head.

"Should we put her with the pirate?" The lost boy asked, Peter looked at the girl for a moment then shook her head.

"No, I want her to come with me, oh, and bring Hook with you." Peter ordered, he turned to leave then the girl started screaming at him.

"You told me you'd let me go! You promised!" She shouted at him, he paused then turned to face her.

"I say a lot of things I don't mean." Then he was gone, the two girls looked at each other as the lost boy was taking the blonde girl in Peter's direction. The two girls began to follow them, the closer they got to the lost boy and the girl the more they realised what a bad idea this was. After a few moments they came to a clearing, they saw Hook tied to a tree and Peter sitting on a log waiting for the lost boy. When he arrived with the girl he just threw her on the ground next to Peter.

"Thanks, Tom." Peter told him, he didn't look at him, only the girl. The boy, Tom, nodded and walked away.

"Please, Peter, let me go home." The girl begged, Peter stroked her cheek with his thumb.

"And why should I do that?" Peter asked, the girl was trying to find the words to say, but they wouldn't come out.

"B... Because well..." She stuttered, Peter smiled.

"Exactly, there is no reason." He told her, Alex and Cecelia both rolled their eyes simultaneously.

"Where the bloody hell am I?" They hear a voice ask, all four of them looked to the tree that Hook was tied to.

"He's alive, thank god!" Cecelia whispered to Alex who just smiled at her friends happiness.

"You're at my base, well for the moment anyways. At least until your girlfriend decides to come near me again." Peter told him, Hook raised an eyebrow.

"Girlfriend? Cecelia? You have got to be kidding me, what would make you think I'd go for her?" Hook asked, Cecelia's jaw dropped, Alex didn't have to ask, she could see Cecelia was ready to kill Hook.

 "That little basterd!" Cecelia growled, a little too loud, Peter's held up a finger at Hook signaling for him to hold on a second. Then in a blink of an eye he had grabbed Alex and Cecelia from behind the bush and threw them to the ground beside the blond girl. 

 "Little tip, when you're hiding try be little bit quieter, ladies." Peter advised, then his face grew serious. "Next time you both escape I swear I will kill you." He threatened, Cecelia frowned.

 "Trust me, Pan, at this rate I would want nothing more." She told him sarcastically, she then turned to look at Hook. "How's the party coming along?" She asked, Alex mouthed 'what' to herself in confusion.

 "Oh, well well, do I sense a little crush Cecelia?" Peter teased, Cecelia let out a laugh, Alex just stayed beside the blond girl, she had a good feeling about her for some strange reason.

 "You can't be serious? This man?" Cecelia pointed to Hook, "This man is nothing to me." She looked Hook in the eyes as she said this, he had the same reaction as she did before. His jaw dropped in shock.

 "Well then, since there is no feeling here, what do I have to lose?" Peter spoke up, everyone looked at him in confusion. Suddenly, he took out a knife and before anyone could do anything he slashed Cecelia's shoulder. She screamed in pain, as did Alex and the blond girl, Hook began to shout at Peter and struggle against the ropes keeping him tied to the tree. Peter raised his arm to hurt her again but before he could Alex jumped up and ran at him. He turned to her and accidently angled the knife at her stomach, she ran straight into the knife. She paused, holding on to his shoulders for support, he quickly took the knife out and dropped it to the ground taking hold of Alex.

 "You asshole." Alex choked out, she looked into his eyes and saw actual pain, she could hardly believe it, he looked... sorry? He opened his mouth to say something, but everything went black and Alex never heard what he was about to say.
