Angel (Peter Pan Fanfic)

Kidnapped

"Let go of me you dirty pirate!" Lyla let out a muffled demand as she fought against the large man manhandling her onto the ship.

She elbowed and kicked and thrashed but it had no effect. She finally sunk her teeth into the hand covering her mouth as hard as she could. Warm blood filled her mouth and she spat it out in disgust. However, the pirate had let go of her, opening up a chance for escape.

The Lost Girl seized the opportunity and raced to the side of the ship, planning on jumping overboard. Unfortunately, in that brief moment that she was free, she only made it two steps before being grabbed again. This time she was swung over a burly shoulder so quick it made her head spin.

"Not so fast, Love. What are you in such a hurry for?" Captain Hook teased her as he watched her being carried off. "Take her to storage and tie her up," he ordered his lackey.

Lyla struggled harder and let out a string of profanity that only served to make the captain laugh. The unknown pirate carried her down to the storage as the rest of the crew jeered at her while she swore at them rudely. All the while she beat at the pirates back with her fists.

By the time they reached storage, Lyla was tuckered out and too tired to fight back as she dropped roughly on top of a crate. She finally got a good look at the pirate while he bound her ankles together harshly. He was a nasty looking bloke. He had scraggly, unkempt red hair and beard along with a few missing teeth. His arms were covered in wicked looking tattoos depicting skulls, weapons, gore, the works.

Lyla grit her teeth and almost screamed as he bound her wrists. They were so incredibly swollen and tender from Peter Pan last night. She felt her eyes water at the pain and she stared up at the ceiling to try and push the tears back. She wouldn't cry for these disgusting pirates.

When the tattooed man finished tying the knots he grabbed her face cruelly. Her jaw ached at the pressure from his fingers. Her fear levels spiked. Oh God... Oh God... her breath accelerated and she tried to twist her face out of his grip but he held her still.

The filthy pirate gave her a wide, gap toothed grin. "Sit and stay, Bitch, and I won't have to hurt you," he mocked her, clearly enjoying having power of her.

Despite her fear, Lyla's couldn't help but let her outrage show. She summoned her courage and spit right in the filthy man's face. He reeled back in surprise, letting go of her bruising jaw in the process. Lyla worked her now throbbing jaw open and close to try and alleviate the soreness.

"You fucking wench!" The pirate bellowed.

Well shit... was all Lyla could think as his massive fist came in contact with her cheekbone. The force of the blow knocked her right off the crate and onto the floor. She groaned at the pain. Why do I never think these things through...?

The burly pirate proceeded to kick her in the torso and arms over and over again. Lyla bit her tongue so hard it bled, refusing to give him the satisfaction of hearing her scream. He finally landed a sharp kick to her jaw and she let out a loud scream of pain. He laughed and leered at her.

"Aww. Not so tough are you now, little Lost Girl?" He cackled ugly.

Lyla heard loud steps descending and the door banging open. She painfully lifted her head to see Captain Hook. Her terror increased tenfold at the sight of her kidnapper. She didn't feel nearly as brave as she had earlier.

However, Hook behaved rather unexpectedly. He stormed over to her attacker and screeched at him,"Bryce what the bloody, fuckin' hell?! I told you to tie her up not fuckin' beat her!"

He kneeled down beside her to assess the damage. Lyla flinched away from him as he turned her head to examine her already bruising jaw. She gave a small yelp and as he yanked her up by the waist and sat her back on the crate like she was weightless. He gave her another once-over before turning back to Bryce.
