Like Jack and the Beanstalk, Ryder POV
A few months have passed since I left behind farming, I have changed quite drastically! I have developed a flirty and childish side, but most of all, I have found where I belong. The seas are my home. The crew and the captain are my new family.
"Ryder, the Captain wishes to speak to you."
"Coming Smee!"
I rushed to the Captain's quarters to see Hook looking very tired. His face was very pale and his eyes were looking drained of life.
"Ryder, my boy! *Cough, cough* I was hoping... *Cough* I am about to die, I want you to be the new Captain. *Cough, cough* SMEE, hand Ryder my hat."
"Sir... are you sure you want me, a boy who just found himself, to be the new Captain?" I ask uncertainty.
"Yes, Ryder... You are very smart and brave. If you accept I have one other request..."
"I accept!"
"Ryder, we need money to gather more supplies but more than that... Stop Peter Pan's son from marrying. *Cough, cough, cough...*"
I was pushed out of the way by Smee.
"Captain? Hook? Sir?"
Smee turned to me.
"He is dead... Captain, what do we do?"
I stared at Smee.. his face was covered in tears.
"We find out when this wedding will happen and stop it. We will capture the bride for a ransom of sorts..." I said mischievously.
I have a good plan... it will be the best idea I have yet!
"Yes, Captain Ryder. I will look into it and let you know."
Smee finally left me alone... with the Captains body. I fell to my knees crying and laughing. Nothing funny was happening, I was just laughing for no reason.
After an hour of alone time with the Captain, it was time to let him go. The crew tied empty barrels together and gently set Hook on top. Slowly I walked forward with a black sheet. Once I reached the barrels, a single tear went down my cheek. I placed the sheet over the Captains... Hooks body and walked back a few steps. A few members of the crew threw him overboard to float to the Edge of the world... and then to fall off the edge into a place for the dead.
We all went right back to work after that... I knew things were not going to be the same. I was still me but I know it is going to take me a while to get over Hook. He was like a dad to me. What a Happily Ever After... Hook dead and poor Ryder, the Sad Captain... No, the Cold Captain.
