Finding Neverland // Peter Pan X Reader (editing)

•27•

''You know, I never thought Pan would let another female step foot on his island,'' He said with a curious look. ''He seems quite into you as well...''

I rolled my eyes and huffed at him.

''Huh, you doubt it?'' 

''Just leave me alone!'' I exclaimed angrily. It's only been a few hours and I'm already ready to strangle him to death. 

''Shh love, you scream like a banshee.''

''Banshees are not real,'' Right? 

''Where do you come from, again?'' I glared at him and leaned back on the wall. My hands are still tied up and I'm forced to listen to him babbling about nothing.

''What do you want, Hook?'' I asked eventually.

''Answers to things you have nothing to do with,'' He smirked at me and I could see his teeth shine a little in the dim room. 

The ship kept swaying from side to side but I couldn't understand if this meant we were swimming or not. My attention was fixed on the moon that shown down upon the world from above, the light it provided sneaked its way through the small window to my right. I looked back at Hook to see him looking at me with those dark eyes.

''But what am I doing here then?'' 

''He knows what I want, and now that I've got you, he'll come to get you in exchange for those answers.'' 

''Why would he agree on that?'' Does this idiot seriously think Pan will do anything to get me back? I'd laugh but am too tired to do so.

''Because he cares,'' As if.

''You out of all people should know by now that Peter Pan does not care about anyone but himself.''

''I used to think that.'' 

''Hook, he won't come.'' 

''I'm already here.'' 

A loud gasp left my lips as he walked out of that dark corner into the moonlight so I could see his face clearly and oh boy, did he look mad...

''Finally!'' Hook called out as he stood up from the bunk bed. ''Took ya long enough.'' He added while sneering at him.

''You came?'' I heard a small voice whisper in disbelief as I realized, that small voice was me. Pan's gaze met mine as his eyes shifted to that bloodshot red, the color I've grown to fear. 

''Uhm, not to ruin the moment but...-'' His words got stuck in his throat as Pan's hand gripped onto his neck tightly. 

''I warned you...'' His grip tightened as he hissed these words. It took me a while to comprehend all these at that moment but once the whole scenario made its way to my head I begged for him to let the pirate go. 

''Pan! You're going to kill him!'' He didn't seem affected at all but I can't say that about Hook. I could see his face slowly changing color as he tried to push Pan away with his weak hand. ''Pan!"

''He knew what would happen.''

''Please! Don't do that!'' I kept screaming for him to release his grip but he ignored me.

''Is this the answer you were looking for?'' He mocked him and I could see Hook's body slowly getting heavy as his arms dropped to his side lifelessly. 

''Let him go, please!'' My own tears blurred the vision as I begged him to stop but this wasn't Pan, this was that demon he embraced a long time ago. ''Please don't do this, please...'' 

I couldn't see or hear clearly but I felt a loud shake caused by a body colliding with the wall not far from me. My hands were free once again as I blinked away the tears to see those black orbs staring at me. 

''Are you okay?'' He searched my face for a sign that I wasn't but before I could answer we turned our head towards the sound coming from a pirate who was grunting from pain.

''B-bloody hell...'' He cursed while wincing slightly. 

''Not yet,'' Pan stated as he tried to get up but I held him back. 

''Don't,'' He sighed deeply and looked at me. I smiled back a little and nodded, answering his resent question. ''Let's just leave.''

''Fine.'' He helped me stand up as I leaned on him to balance myself. My knees were still weak for some reason.  

''W-wait, no...'' Hook wailed behind us as Pan quickly silenced him with his signature glare. 

''If I see you or your crew near Neverland again, there will be no more sparing for life.'' He threatened him as I felt that anger radiating off him, causing a shudder to run down my back.  

''Just tell me, is she alive?'' Hook asked with his eyes closed. I looked at Pan to see his expression but it was blank. His hand slowly wrapped itself around my waist as I felt the familiar feeling of washing away. My hand gripped onto his shirt strongly as his chest vibrated when he said his last word to Hook. 

''Yes.''
