Neverland's Captive - Ouat Peter Pan

Chapter 59 - No More Scetets, No More Lies

Hook's P.O.V:

Although I had put all my efforts into convincing Tink to help us, she had left me again. Well not completely, just until we had an idea for exist plan.

I suppose she was right. What would be the point in saving anyone from Pan if we couldn't actually leave the island, it was a waste of time.

So we soon started thinking of ways to leave without Pans permission. However, that is not a very easy task to accomplish.

I would have suggested to do it the way that Tink, Alice and I had but he would see it coming. It wouldn't be possible to do it in the same way, he wouldn't fall for it.

Not only that but we couldn't get anywhere near him enough to shoot an arrow at him. We didn't even know where he was located. One thing was known though, squid ink wasn't option.

Instead, I suggested finding out the way Bae got off the island. I know he did it without Pans permission and I know he did it alone. I just needed to know how, we all did.

He would know but he was gone. It made me saddened thinking about it but I didn't show it. I never got the courage to actually apologise to him before he died and it made me even more regretful.

The only way we could find out is if there was something in his cave. I had known he lived there for a very long time.

Once I suggested it to the group, they all agreed but I could tell they were slightly skeptical but it was the only possible way we had at the moment.

But finding a way off the island wasn't my only reason for going to the cave, it was close to dead mans peak, where the water to heal Emmas father was located.

If I could somehow convince him to come with me, I could save his life. I could show him I'm not the dirty pirate he perceived me to be. I could show Emma I'm a good guy.

With that, we began our journey towards the cave. I was afraid if we found nothing to help us in there, there would be no way to escape Pan and no way to save Henry or most importantly, Alice.

Alice's P.O.V:

I had run out of hope.

Bae now knew the truth, but only part of it. The twisted version that Pan instigated. If the group got to him before I had the time to explain, they would get it all wrong. They would presume I'm the bad guy.

They would only know part of the story. The facts would be all wrong. All mixed and muddled up. Everyone will be confused and not trust me.

I can only have myself to blame. I kept the truth from them and now I'm paying the price. I'm going to loose them.

Maybe Pan was right. Maybe I should just start over, forget about all of this and then I wouldn't witness their hatred for me.

After a while of these negative thoughts swarming my head, my anger and frustration turns to sadness and my eyes start to well up with tears.

A rustle sound from around me catches my attention but does not make me look up. I don't want to see who it is. I don't want to move.
