"Get me another bottle, Mr Smee" Hook said through his slurring words.

"Right away, sir" Mr Smee said rushing to get him another bottle of rum.

Captain Hook had been locked up in his room for days, sulking over him. Pan. Peter Pan. Hook was so close to get him, so close but had lost him. Hook swore when he found Pan that he would kill him, show him no mercy after what he did.

Hook held up his right hand. Right hand? I mean hook. Captain Hook held up his right hook. He used to have a hand but Pan lost him that after their battle together. Peter had pushed him off Hook's ship and he fell into the ocean. Hook really wasn't the best summer. As he tried to get on the surface an alligator appeared and fought with Hook.

Hook struggled to fight him off and was calling Mr Smee for help at the same time. The alligator then bit off his right hand. It was really a rather painful experience for Hook. He screamed and waved his bloody hand in the air, all of the crew members were in shock and quickly got Hook out of the water.

The last thing he saw was Peter Pan floating in the air laughing along with Tinkerbell. "Stay away from me Hook if you want to keep the other hand!".

"I'll kill you, Pan. I'll kill you if it is the last thing I do" Hook said before blacking out.

Captain Hook shuddered. Remebering it gave him nightmares. But he stood by his word, he will kill Peter Pan.

Hook stood up from his desk and walked over to his mirror. His chest were marked with battle scars and tattoos, his long-black beard and hair was tangled and uncombed. His eyes were red from sleeping so much and drinking. Hook was nothing but a mess sulking over what he had lost. 

"I am nothing but a failure" Hook said to himself whilst looking in the mirror. "I've tried everything to capture Pan and nothing has worked. Why am I even a Captain? I am nothing. I am a fool".

"Don't say that to yourself" Mr Smee said standing behind him.

Hook looked away from the mirror with a confusing look on his face, "W-were you standing there the whole time?".

"Yes I was. And I'm here to tell you that you're not a failure, Captain. You're the best there is".

Hook held up his right hand to show Mr Smee the reminder of him losing to Peter. "Do you not see this? This is what happened to me when I lost. Every plan I've tried never worked, he always seems to get away! Him and that stupid fairy!" Hook said whilst banging his fist on his desk.

"Captain! For the years I've worked with you, you have defeated everything that has come your way! And now you're down and about just because you couldn't kill some boy" Mr Smee said yelling at him.

Hook looked angrily at Mr Smee and walked to him. He held up his hook, "Talk to me in that tone again Mr Smee, and I might just have to kill you".

"Captain I don't care! I am just trying to help you. You want him dead, don't you?"

Hook quickly nodded his head.

"Then stop sulking around and do something about it" Mr Smee said. "Show no mercy".

Suddenly the door to Captain Hook's study opened. Standing in the door way was one of his crew members, Killer. They called him Killer because if you ever got him angry he would kill you in a second. He was one of Hook's favorites. His eyes were two different colors, one green and one orange. He had tattoos all over his body.

"What is it?" Hook demanded.

"It stopped snowing outside" Killer responded.

"Does it look like I frigging care?" Hook said. "Leave me be".

"Captain, don't you get?" Mr Smee said. He quickly opened the blinds by the window, it was really bright out.

Hook quickly covered his eyes, "Close that dammit!".

Mr Smee continued, "The snow stopped. Birds are singing, its bright as the sun outside. That could only mean one thing".

"He's back" Killer finished.

Hook gasped, grabbed his coat and quickly outside with Mr Smee and Killer following him. The crew was dancing about and drinking. One of the members played music whilst the other clapped along to the rhythm. "STOP!" Hook yelled.

Everybody stopped immediatly. "Pan is back! Do you know what that means? We will now stop at nothing to kill him! Search the skies!".

Some climbed to the top of the ship whilst other took their small telescopes and looked up in the skies. It took a few seconds then someone finally said, "Captain! I see him! He's sitting on top of that cloud!".

Hook grabbed the telescope from the crew member and looked up to where he pointed. Laying on top of a cloud watching them was Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. But, who were the other three? He zoomed in on them and gasped. "He's brought some visitors here with him. Oh, and look a girl from himself. She's pretty".

Hook handed the telescope to Mr Smee, "She is pretty, Captain. Kind of looks like the girl who he brought here before, if ya ask me".

"READY THE CANNONS!" Hook yelled.

Crew members ran to the cannons quickly as they could. They placed powder bags down in front of the barrel and then put the cannon ball in the barrel. They pushed it all back to make sure it was secure. Hook took a lighted match," 1 2 3. Fire". He lit the fuse and the cannon shot out straight toward the cloud.

The cannon made a loud boom noise, Hook took his telescope and looked up to where he shot. He saw three of the kids being shot out of the cloud, screaming their heads with Peter flying after them.

"Haha!" Hook laughed. "It doesn't get better than this".
