Hook's boots touched the deck of the other ship and immediately was surrounded.
"Captain Hook," a man who was dark and squat strolled up nonchalantly, "Welcome aboard. I am Captain Leon."
"Where's the girl?" Hook said roughly, his eyes menacing.
"That little lady?" the Leon said giving a sickening grin, "Taken away to my own cabin for later use. My men know what I like."
"I want her back," Hook spat.
Leon gave a harsh laugh, "Of course. She's your whore."
Hook stance did not relax, "But?"
"As pirates nothing comes easy," Leon nodded, "Your ship for the girl."
"How about I just kill you now?" Hook growled.
"You're on my ship Hook. Only you will die."
Suddenly Hook had Leon pressed against the siding, his hook against his neck, "Bring her to me!"
"My crew-"
"If they dare to touch you I will kill you. Bring me the girl."
Leon glared at him before clearing his throat, "Get her."
In a few minutes a struggling Wendy was brought on deck, her voice rising above the fighting, "You'll regret this! Have no doubt about that!"
Hook only glanced up at her, but felt pride well up inside of him when he saw the two men holding her arms. One had a bloody nose and the other had a swollen lip, both were hunched over slightly.
"You can't even control a girl!" Leon groaned.
"Girl? I'm twenty one," she sniffed, and then seeing Hook gave a small smile.
"We're leaving," Hook said gruffly and just as he was about to let go Leon grabbed his coat.
"I challenge you to a duel Captain Hook," Leon growled.
"I have much better things to do with my time," Hook rolled his eyes trrying to peel Leon off of him.
"Then you will be known as a coward."
The words slapped Hook, and his eyes narrowed.
Leon smiled, "A coward. A codfish. And I will keep the girl if you try to leave now."
"I'll kill you," Hook growled, "My steel against your throat. Imagine that."
Leon grinned, "My men will not give her back if you kill me now. But murder me in a duel Hook, and you can keep her."
"Wait, no!" Wendy suddenly said panicking, "Just go back, I'll be fine."
Hook closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, "I can't do that Miss Darling."
Wendy began to struggle harder, her heels grinding into their shoes, she elbowed on and he let go, letting out a low groan.
"Don't let her get away with that!" Leon shouted, and the one that still had a grip raised his hand and slapped Wendy across the face.
