How is it you? (Henry Mills)

Part 1 Chapter 6

Time passes by with dragging days. Anna's gotten used to her little shack Peter Pan has given her. She spends time with the lost boys, practicing her archery, not that she needs any but it's best not to be rusty. Pan has decided to make her his wing woman. In times of need, she will stand by Pan and Felix to help them. Anna never realized how good of and actress she really is. If she can keep her secret to herself, Anna will survive this island.

Like very other night, the lost boys dance and yelp to the song of the pipe that Peter plays. When this happens, Anna slips off to the shore line and looks out at the boats. But tonight was different. The boat was close, Anna could see some people walking around on it.

"That's curious." Anna mumbles to herself. Why would Caption Hook want to get closer to the island.

That's when two men run up from behind her and put a bag over her head. Anna tries to fight them off but she can't see and the men are much stronger than she is. She has no choice but to let them take her wherever they are going. Anna has to use her senses of smell and hearing to know where she's going. The men take her on a small boat in the water and row back to the Jolly Roger where Hook is waiting. Anna doesn't speak to her captors until she's on the Jolly Roger where Captain Hook takes off the thing on her head.

She stands tried to a wooden pole. The crew of pirates surround her with gross grins spreading across their faces.

"Well done mates!" Hook makes his way over to the center if the circle. The crew cheers in victory, all holding up a fist.

"What do you want with me?" Anna hisses though her teeth.

"Nothing, it's that pesky boy I want something from." Anna automatically knows he's talking about Peter Pan. "Your a trade. He gets his precious girlfriend back, and we get out of Neverland. It doesn't have to be a difficult trade until Pan makes it that."

"I'm not his girlfriend!" Anna grits her teeth and glares at the captain. She takes a good hard look at him to read his past.

A woman appears, long black hair with a nice smile, boarding the Jolly Roger. Then Rumpelstiltskin appears, but it's not truly the man Anna has meet. He looks old, weak and scared. The woman with long black hair was his wife and he was coming to get her back. Only he wouldn't fight Hook to get her back. Rumpelstiltskin was a coward once. The next past time Anna sees is Rumplesiltskin, as Anna has meet him, ripping out the woman's heart and crushing it to kill her. Then he cuts off Hook's hand. Emotions of sorrow, heartbreak, guilt and anger rush though Anna like wind. Suddenly, she feels bad for the pirate. All the man wants is to get is revenge.

"Either way, the boy seems to care about you. We've been watching. Tell me girl what is your name?"

"Anna." She states blankly.

"Well dear, you don't have to worry, I'm a man of my word, I'll let you go as long as Pan gives me what I want."

"He's not going to do come for me. He may have grown fond of me but when it all comes down to it, he won't care if you kill me or not."

"Kill you? Why would I do such a thing? No, if Pan doesn't come get you, you can stay on the ship with us and be a pirate."

"I'll pass." Anna scoffs.

Hook chuckles to himself. "I love how you think you have a say in the matter." He stalks off back to the wheel of the boat. "Leave her alone boys!" The crew does as told and goes on to doing their regular work, ignoring Anna.
