Finding Neverland // Peter Pan X Reader (editing)

•25•

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

I stared at Pan's tensed back while replaying everything that just happened but before I could get my head around it the intruder's deep voice took me out of my trance. 

''Easy, Pan,'' The pirate whistled out annoyingly while leaning on the wall. ''I don't want unnecessary trouble.''

''You should've thought about that before landing your foot on Neverland,'' Pan responded fiercely.

''I should have,'' He nodded slowly as if cursing the second he made that choice but looked up quickly with his wicked smirk planted on his bearded face. ''But I can't turn back time now, can I?''

''I gave you two days, should you really waste them by stumbling around?'' Indeed, the pirate looked drunk as heck. There is a reason why he's leaning on the wall.

''You have your boys running around doing stuff, I have men.'' He cracked a small laugh followed by throaty coughs. 

''Pathetic,'' Pan said disgustedly as the captain took out a what looked like a canteen out of his leather coat and took a long gulp of the substance it contained.

''Pan? Who is that?'' I whispered to the said boy as he shook his head in response. I certainly knew who the man was, but how would I tell him without blowing my cover? 

''No one important.''

''Uh-uh Pan... Tell this lass who I am.'' Hook placed his eyes on mine as another laugh left his wet lips. ''I, miss uh...-''

''(Y/-'' I tried to answer but Pan cut me off with his fierce glare and returned his gaze back to Hook.

''Not your concern.''

The pirate smirked wickedly and did a small bow, the move making him stumble forward but he regained his balance, kinda. ''Hook, love. I'm Captain Hook of the Jolly Roger.''

''What happened to your hand?'' I mentioned to his right hand that had the hook attached to it. If he says The Dark One took it, I might consider Pan being Rumple's father and well...

''Ask your boyfriend,'' Another gulp.

''Who?'' I asked confused but instead of the person the question was dedicated to, Pan gave out an answer.

''He needed to have been thought a lesson.'' 

''You did this?'' Why am I surprised again? 

''Can you stay out of this?'' He glanced at me annoyed as I nodded and sat back down on my bed. Not like I didn't know most of the stuff anyway. ''You do understand that I can wipe out you and your men with one swift move, right?'' He resumed talking while slowly stepping forward.

''We're leaving tomorrow, isn't that enough?'' 

''If I don't see your ship swimming away by the time the sun sets tonight...'' Yeah, his temper is not something you want to test. I would know.

Hook stayed silent for a minute, occasionally taking sips out of his canteen. At last, his attention was back on Pan. His expression was unreadable.

''Why the sudden change of plan, Pan?'' 

''Why sudden stupidity to question me, Hook?'' The dark aura radiating of him spoke danger and judging by pirate's face he could sense it too. 

''Huh,'' His eyes rested on Pan for some time, then they wavered over me and as if solving a riddle, his face shifted to an amused expression. ''Understood... Farewell, lav'' He smirked and stumbled out of the cave after doing a small bow. 

I stared after his retreating figure and while doing so I didn't notice Pan sitting down beside me.

''Snap out of it,'' He shook me a little and rolled his eyes after making me jump from being startled. ''Pack up, you're coming with me to the camp.''

My eyes widened in shock I quickly disagreed with the idea. ''No, no, no,'' I can't face Wendy! Nor those boys... 

''So, you prefer staying out here in the open? This cave isn't the safest place on Neverland, especially now that Hook knows about you.'' He reasoned with me but I stood on my ground refusing to leave.

 ''Take me to your treehouse,'' I smiled at the idea but soon remembered how terrifying it was to just look at the height it stood on. ''Or not, no.''

''That's a pretty fine suggestion, I could do that.'' He nodded slowly and stood up, me following quickly.

''But it's high...'' I couldn't help my lips as they formed a small pout in displeasure. ''Can't you leave me with Alexa?'' I asked with hope laced in my voice but his 'Are-you-kidding-me' look completely wiped it off of it as I nodded in defeat. I could live one day, I mean my first nights on Neverland were spent in the air. But something tells me, I won't be coming back to this cave any time soon.
