Just Make Believe

Chapter 3

I look to where Peter was when I had left him, but he wasn't there. I started to panic, getting quick glances from every corner, he was nowhere. The light that I had seen earlier had no almost fully lit everything. Now I can see who I am dealing with, the two big burly men, who reminded me of more muscled versions of the twin bad guys on Tangled, except they weren't red haired. They had dark brown greasy hair and dirt clinging to their face from every crevice. It also looked like they got scurvy too, they had blemishes and spots crowding their bodies, and itched every now and then.

Then another came into view, the boy I had tackled obviously. He had dark black, shaggy hair that went down to his eyebrows. He was well built, ripped pretty much, and had slight black freckles over his nose. He was wearing a back, white, and blue pirate outfit finished with a slightly crumpled black pirate hat with a large blue feather in its brim band. He also had a large scar, reaping the whole right side of his face, from his forehead until his upper lip. It looked like a sword scar, like he had put it there himself to make himself look more bad ass. It didn't work.

And it was probably from his father, the Captain, who seemed like an angry lunatic. Who was most likely the one holing me still right now because I didn't see him anywhere. I glanced as low as I could with a sword to my throat, and saw a cuffed black jacket with a gold cuff link. Knowing then, I was royally screwed.

"Well, now who are you?" The Captain said in a creepily sweet voice,"I didn't see you come aboard little one..."

I started to thrash about, catching the other member's eyes, and I kick the captain in the shin and he cringes slightly. I fall to the floor and roll to the side, stand again, and kick Hook where no sun ever shines, and start to sprint towards the edge of the ship.

"GET HER YOU FOOLS!" An angry, and in pain, Hook yelled from behind me.

I bring myself to the edge and climb up to the rail. But once I was standing on the edge of the side, I notice that if I were to jump now, I would fall more than a thousand feet and to certain death. The water below me would not cushion the fall from this far up.

Wait... What?

I now looked over the edge at a crescent shaped island with trees on half of its side and sand on the other. There were small lagoons surrounding the bottom of the island, and a skull shaped rock island at the top. I barely catch myself before almost falling off the ship. I am then pulled by my own hair back into the ship.

With a yell, I am yanked towards the ground, and then dragged to my feet. I immediately put my hands to the point of pain, and scratch away at the fingers clinging to my hair.

"Dammit! The damned girl ripped my hand!" Brute number one howled in pain.

"Ha!" I practically shout with triumph as I sprint to the bow.

I just had to get to the front and distract them until we hit the water, then I can wing it until I get to the forest.

Once I reached the front I look over the edge once more, only to see that we were still far too away for me to survive the fall. I look back to where I left the bloody handed brute. He was now running with brute number two towards me. I smile devilishly and wait for them to get closer, and right when they are in front of me, I lunge to the side and jump to the web of rope, and climb as fast as I can to the crow's nest.

Once I get halfway, I look down and I don't see the brutes coming after me. Something was wrong now, I could tell by the looks on their faces. They look far too satisfied by being beaten bloody handed by a girl. I lean against the ropes and stare down at the water coming closer and closer. Something wasn't right here, I had a really bad feeling in my gut. I glance around the ship and see Hook standing next to his son now, he probably isn't hurt as much anymore. But there he stood, arms crossed and a scowl on his face.
