Chapter 13

The scratching, that's all I heard.

The scratching...

scratch scratch scratch....... screech scratch screeeeeech

I sat up quickly looking out the window and immediately jumping back.

"A flying monkey?!" I exclaimed and Peter awoke with a start, pushing me behind him and against the wall. I pulled out my dagger and held it out in front of me. Peter took it out of my hand and held it at the monkey's throat.

"Don't move," Peter said, waving his hand over the monkey, removing all signs of magic.

The monkey instantly turned into a human man. He started coughing up blood and I pushed past Peter, kneeling beside the young man.

"A-Are you okay?" I asked and he nodded, a hand to his chest.

"I think I'll be all right. Thank you for saving me, lad. Now, if you don't mind telling me where I am so I can get back home..." The young man started and I cut him off.

"You can't." I said and he gave me a fierce look of disbelief.

"And why the hell not?" he asked and I smiled sadly.

"You're in Neverland, and there's no way off this island." Peter said harshly and the man sat back.

"Are there others?" I asked, and he looked at me. "Are there others like you who were cursed to turn into a flying monkey?" I asked again and he nodded.

"The Wicked Witch turned many innocent citizens into her own personal slaves. I was one of them," he explained.

"Your name?" I asked.

He responded quickly, "I am Niall, the musician of my town," he said and I smiled.

"A musician. Wonderful, now she won't have to sing alone," Peter grumbled and I hit his arm.

"Don't be impolite!" I exclaimed. "I am Alexandria Madeline Jones, Daughter of Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones and eighth in line to the throne of Atlantica and this is Peter, as in Peter Pan." I said and Niall smiled.

"What an honor to be in your presence M'lady," Niall said, bowing and then turned to Peter, "And your's as well, sir."

I smiled at Niall, "No need for the bowing, here we're just Lexi ad Peter, no formal details."

Niall nodded. "I'm sorry about scaring you earlier, I didn't mean to, really. Once the Witch turns somone into one of her flying monkeys, she is in complete control of them. But you, you saved me. Which means you can save the others as well."

I nodded, "Peter can save people, so can I. We're both gifted with magic. We would like to help in any way possible..."

"Except we don't know how the bloody hell to get off this island!" Peter said frustratingly and I got up to comfort him. Peter paced away from me.

"Peter, calm down, you could be scaring him away!" I exclaimed and Peter spun on me.

"I spent centuries on this island, Lexi. I want off. Once we were in Storybrooke with the Lost Boys, we were supposed to be safe, we were supposed to have a happy life. But no. We were fucking sent back here to this God-damned pit in the middle of nowhere with poisonous plants, a killer squid and fairies, of all things, it had to be the fairies!" He yelled and I stood in front of him, rubbing his arms.

"Hey, hey, we'll get off this island. I promise you that. But right now, we need to focus on other matters too, okay? Before we go back, we have to go back with a plan and are positive that it is secure." Peter nodded taking deep breaths. I smiled brightly at him.
