The lost girl of Neverland

Chapter 21

Pov Emily

Everybody stopped fighting and is waiting for Peter to make a decision. Hook pushes Jack a little further towards Peter. ''Say it Peter. You or the boy.'' I walk to Peter. ''Peter please. You can easily escape, my brother not.'' Peter sighs. I have enough of this. I walk towards Hook. Some pirates point there swords at me so I stop. ''It's okay boys. She can't do anything.'' They put there swords back and I stand next to Hook. ''Let Jack go Hook.'' ''Only if Peter surrenders.'' I roll my eyes. Why are boys like this. I look at Peter. His face doesn't show emotion at all. ''What do you mean if I surrender Hook? Do I lose forever or what.'' Hook smirks. ''If you surrender Peter, then yes you lose. Also I will be the king of the Island because I defeated you.'' What! I know Peter would never let that happen. I look at Jack and can see that he's scared. I mouth an I love you at him before I walk toward Peter. ''Peter I know this is a hard choice but please put your proud aside for this time.'' I now say with tears in my eyes. I don't want Jack to die, he's my little brother. ''Em I know how much Jack means to you but if I surrender Neverland will be a living hell. I'm sorry but I can't do this.'' What! I sigh and step closer. ''I rather live in hell with my brother then living some fairy tale without him. So Peter please, please don't let him die.'' I wipe a tear away and try to calm myself down a little. He looks away. ''You can lose and just kill Hook. I know you can easily do that so what is the problem!!'' ''The problem is Emily, that after all those years I can't just let Hook win and let him take over Neverland!'' I can't believe that he's gonna let Jack die because he's to proud to lose from Hook. I hear Hook sigh behind me. ''Make a choice Pan.'' He points the sword at Jack's heart. ''Emily I'm scared.'' I smile trough my tears. ''It's gonna be okay Jack I promise. I will get you out of here.'' He smiles a little. ''You are the best sister I ever had.'' I smile. ''I love you to Jack.'' ''Hook I made my choice.'' Peter looks at me and smiles. I smile back. Alright that's a good sign, Jack is staying alive. ''Well tell us Peter.'' ''If I don't surrender Jack dies?'' ''Yes.'' Peter takes a deep breath. ''Hook I-I'' Peter looks around Neverland and I can see his face changing, it's just a face and it's filled with hate. ''I will never surrender to such an asshole like you.'' ''Well have it your way then.'' ''NOO!!'' I run to Jack and then everything is just going in slow motion. I can barely see Hook stabbing Jack. I kneel next to Jack with tears flowing down my cheeks. ''No Jack no you can't leave me I need you. Please no don't leave me!!'' Jack takes my hand. I hug him tight and just cry. ''I will always love you Em.'' ''No no no. Pleasee.'' He stops breathing. It feels like the ground just sunk under my feet. Two arms lift me up, I'm still holding Jack. ''Emily you need to let him go.'' Peter whispers in my ear. ''NO!'' I can't let him go, I can't leave him here. I hear Peter sigh. ''Come on Emily we need to go otherwise they will capture us.'' ''I don't care. I want my brother back.'' Peter just picks me and Jack up and flies to the camp. I lay Jack on the ground and stare at his lifeless body. The other boys sit around him. They flew back with the fairy dust they had left. They also cry. I sit there for a few seconds but I can't take it anymore I want to be alone. I get up and walk into the forest. I sit against a tree and stare at the clouds. I can't believe he's really gone. My little brother. My best friend. The one I shared almost everything with. I can't even feel anything anymore. I'm not happy or sad I feel empty. I can't even cry. I see someone land behind me. ''Go away, I want to be alone.'' I know it's Peter. ''I'm really sorry Emily. I wish I could have done something else but I just couldn't.'' I frown. ''What difference does it make?'' He looks up confused. I stand up and look at him. ''Because in the end when you lose somebody, every candle, every prayer is not gonna make up for the fact that the only thing you have left is a hole in your life where that somebody you cared about used to be.'' He's speechless. ''So go ahead Peter. Apologise but that isn't gonna bring him back. I don't care that you were to proud to let Hook win. What I did care about was my brother but he's dead and there is nothing you can do about it, so if you want to apologise to someone then-'' ''Don't you think I miss him to!! I know what I did Emily and believe me I'm not proud of it either! But I can't live in a world where Hook has control over Neverland. Because this Island is the reason of my powers, if Hook has control over the island all of that will die!'' I stay silent. I didn't know that. ''You could have just surrendered and then killed Hook! Then Jack would be standing right here!!'' Peter says nothing. I scoff and stand there waiting for an reaction. Peter goes with his hand trough his hair. ''Come on we have to bury him.'' He almost whispers and walks past me back to the camp. I sigh and also walk back I see that the boys already dug a hole. I smile a little. ''Thank you boys, for doing this. We're all gonna miss him very much. He was an awesome brother and friend, he will always be in our heart. Thank you Jack for making everybody's life better.'' Everybody is crying. Peter carefully lays Jack in the pit. I'm putting on a brave face for the boys but actually it feels like my body can collapse any second. Peter, Curly and Nibs begin to fill the pit with sand. We all stare at Jack who's slowly being covered in sand. After that I put a stick in the ground. I go to Peter his tree house and write a letter. I walk back and tie it to the stick. I smile it's not a gravestone but it is enough.
