Part Four
There is a small trigger warning for this part (looks like this *** Trigger Warning*** will be posted before and after the scene, it is for if you want to skip it.)
The group turned towards Hook and began to ask him a million questions, each one trying to talk over the other. I watched the madness slowly unfold for a few minutes, truly enjoying the look of pure panic filling Hooks face as he watched Emma. After a while, I grew bored of waiting for him to answer their questions. “Hey!” I yelled, grabbing their attention. “For being the only adults on this island, your all acting like the whiniest babies I’ve ever met.” “Well, what did you expect? You just dropped a bomb of hidden information on us.” Emma said. “Emma, I can explain.” Hook whispered. “I don’t want you to explain! I don’t trust you anymore.” “But, Swan-” “No! All this time you had a daughter, and you didn’t tell any of us. And your daughter has a direct connection to the guy who took my son.” “Oh, quit being so over dramatic.” I said as I rolled my eyes. “Pan’s not that bad.” “Are you kidding me?! He literally hired people to kidnap Henry!” “Maybe. But without him, I’d probably be dead.” “I don’t believe that for a second.” Emma snapped. “It’s the truth.” “How?” She questioned. “Simple. Would you like to tell them or should I?” I asked as I looked at Hook. He gave me a look full of misery like I was the one that ruined his life. Drama Queen. “It all started when I was two. Like I said my mother died, and when she did Hook changed. He became obsessed. Obsessed with drinking, obsessed with finding the dark one, obsessed with revenge… And yes I know he’s a pirate.” I snapped. “But this was different. I’ll remind you all, that I was raised on the Jolly Rodger. I was constantly surrounded by pirates. And he could out drink them all.” I said. “I don’t have a lot of memories from when I was two, but the one I do have, He was completely different. He was always smiling, he was always happy, he was always there. But when she died it was like he couldn’t even look at me, like he couldn’t be in the same room as me. I was always alone. And years went by like that. Then when I was about fifteen Smee, one of the pirates on the ship, stepped in. He started to act like the father that Hook wasn’t. Since I lived all of my life under the deck on the Jolly Rodger, I didn’t learn much. Hell, the only time I wasn’t under that deck was when everybody else went to shore. But one day Smee sat me down and spent hours trying to teach me how to read. It took weeks, but he never gave up, he never quit. He constantly told me I could do it, as long as I wanted it, and as long as I tried hard enough. And the moment I finally got it, he started to teach me how to write, first in print, then in cursive. It was the first time in my life I felt important, that I felt loved. And it stayed like that for about a year and a half. He taught me one thing after the other, like how to draw, paint, cook, sword fight, and other stuff like that. It was the best year of my life.” I whispered. “But then, out of nowhere, he stopped. He stopped coming by, stopped teaching me things, stopped saying hello when he walked past my room, everything just stopped. And it was like I didn’t exist anymore. Again. I was worried that something had happened to him. So I went looking for him, which could have gotten me into a lot of shit, since Hook didn’t want me anywhere but my room. It took me a while, but when I finally found him, I was relieved. Then I was hurt. Because that meant that he stopped coming by cause he wanted to, not because something terrible happened. So I decided to confront him, ask him why. But the moment he saw me, a look of pure fear washed over his face. He didn’t say a word to me as he pushed me back below the deck, almost like he couldn’t wait to get rid of me. He quickly shoved me in my room, but right before he closed my he looked me in the eye and said ‘Im sorry but, your father thinks this is for the best.’ then he shut the door. And that. Broke. My. Heart.” As I spoke those words a tear slowly left my eye. “The only person who ever treated me like family just walked away, with no plans of ever coming back. All because my actual family wanted me to be just as lonely and miserable as him.” I spit out. I looked up at the group of people in front of me, and saw that each of their faces were full of pity, I then angrily wiped away the tears that rested upon my face. “But surprisingly enough, that wasn’t the moment that made me hate Hook. It should have been, but I couldn’t. At the time all I could think was that I already lost some of my family. and I wasn’t willing to lose anymore. So to distract myself from the loneliness, I read. I read book, after book, after book. And that’s when Pan showed up…” *FlashBack* I sat on my bed, reading the last few pages of my favorite book. I was passing the time waiting for Hook to dock the ship, so he and the other pirates could head to the nearest pub for the night. About an hour later I notice the absence of cheering, shouting and slurs. I sat down my book and climbed out of bed, before heading out of my bedroom and towards the stairs that lead to the deck. I walked towards the bow of the ship, and once I reached the center I lied down and looked up at the stars, trying to remember the names of the constellations I learned. “If that one’s Lepus, then that one should be Canis Major, Which means that that one is-” “Orion. My Personal favorite.” I jumped at the sound of an unfamiliar voice. I quickly turned around as I stood up. “Who the hell are you?!“I shouted. "Oh, did I forget to introduce myself? I’m Peter. Peter Pan” “What do you want?” I questioned. “For someone whose ship was just bored without permission, you seem oddly calm.” He noted. “It’s cause I’m not worried.” “And why’s that?” He questioned. “I mean you’re a girl. A girl whose all alone with a strange boy that you don’t know. I would deem that quite a dangerous situation, don’t you think?” “I maybe a girl, but I was raised on this ship. I am constantly surrounded by pirates. Men way more dangerous them some kid. Now you didn’t answer my question. What do you want.” “You.” “What?” “I want you, to come with me.” “Are you out of your mind?” “Quite the opposite actually.” He said as he began to walk closer to me. “I want to take you to a place for kids like you.” He said as he stopped in front of me. “What do you mean kids like me?” “Kids who feel alone, unloved… lost.” “You don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m not any of those things.” “I may not have any girls on my island, but I know a lost soul when I see one. A lost girl.” “I’m not lost! what part of that don’t you get.” I said as I quickly turned away from him. “You’ll realize it soon enough. But until then I’ll be stopping by.” “Why can’t you just-” I began to yell as I turn to face him again. “-go away…” I whispered as I realized no one was there. The following days were filled with questions and self-dought. Was I lost? Did I really feel unloved? Was this Pan person right? It didn’t matter though, Cause Hook was my dad. My family and family stick together. They don’t abandon each other. A few weeks had past and Pan kept his promise, he visited at least once a week. And every time he would ask me to join his group of lost boys. And even though I denied his offer every time, we ended up bonding. A few days had passed since Pans last visit, when I was laying in my bed trying to fall asleep, but the pirates on the deck above me were being too loud for me to sleep. As I went to turn to face my wall I let out a startled scream. There lying in my bed, facing me, was none other than Peter Pan himself. “God! What is wrong with you?!” I yelled as I smacked his arm. “You can’t just sneak up on people like that!” He just laughed and brushed it off as he wrapped his arms around my shoulders to pulled me in for a hug. “I’m sorry… Were you trying to sleep?” He said smirking. “You know damn well I was trying to sleep.” I replied back, smiling. “I bet you were planning on dreaming about me weren’t you?” “You’re such a flirt!” I say with a grin on my face. “You aren’t denying it.” He mocked with a smirk. “Oh, grow up.” “That not how it works, and if you came to Neverland you’d get to experience it to.” Pan said looking me in the eye. “You know I can’t do that. I can’t leave my dad. I’m all he gots.” “ You don’t belong here. We both know it, even if you don’t want to admit it. Just come with me. To a home where you’re wanted, and needed. Where you’ll be loved more than you ever could be here.” Pan begged. I turned away from him then got out of the bed and stood by the window. “I think it’s time for you to go.” A look of sorrow filled his face as he got up and stood next to me. “Fine, but if you change your mind just say the word and I’ll take you away.” He unlatched the window then pushed it open. But before he left, he turned towards me and softly caressed my cheek. His eyes shifted from mine to my lips only to return to my eyes once again, as if asking for permission to do the one thing we had both been craving. Just before I could agree, a loud pair of footsteps could be heard making their way towards my door. Instantly I was in a blind panic. “You have to go. Now.” I urged. “But-” “No. Now.” I said as I rushed him to leave. “Please.” “Just say the word, and I’ll be back.” He said before shooting me one last glance and escaping into the darkness of the night. I quickly shut the window, just as my door was kicked open. I turned to face the door and saw one of the newer Pirates walked in. *** Trigger Warning *** “Can I help you?” I questioned skeptically. “I can think of a few ways, you could help me out…” He said with a disgusting look on his face. “I think you should leave…” I whispered. “I don’t think so.” He began to approach me as I pressed myself closer to the window. My heart began to race faster and faster with every step he took. I began to scream for help as he grew closer. He grabbed my arm and began to drag me towards the bed. I yanked on his hand trying to pull it off of me. My life flashed before my eyes as I thought about what was about to happen. I continued to struggle and pray for someone to save me. Anyone. ***Trigger Warning Over *** Then out of nowhere a strange burst of light flashed throughout the room. I tightly shut my eyes, preventing the light from entering. When I opened my eyes I say the pirate fly across the room and out of my bedroom door. “What the fuck was that?!” I thought as I looked down at my hands and quickly stumbled toward the door, Just as I was about to close the door and lock It I glanced toward the stairs and saw him. Hook. Just sitting there, shining his hook. I stared at him with a look of disbelief and then a look of hatred. “Are you KIDDING me! He was just… He was going to… FUCK YOU HOOK. I hope you rot in Davy Jones locker.” I swore as I slammed the door shut and locked it. After the door was locked I sat on my bed and I raked my hands through my hair trying to relax. Then a loud slam came from outside the door, then another, and another. And that’s when I realized what was happening. The pirate was trying to break down the door I quickly stood from my bed and backed towards the window. “Shit! What do I do? What Do I do?” I panicked.“Why didn’t I just go with Pan?!" And that’s when I realized it. I rapidly turned around and pushed the window open. "PAN! PAN! Where the hell are you when I need you?!” I shouted. I whipped my head towards the door the pirate rammed against it again but this time it began to splinter against the pressure of his blows. "Fuck! I believe god damn it!“ I screamed. When I turned to face the window again he was there, giving me a look of confusion. "What is going on?!” He questioned as the door began to give way. “I’ll tell you later. Just get me out of here.” *Flash Back Over* As I finished telling my story I looked upon the group of shocked and angry people. “Oh my God.” Snow whispered after I finished telling my story. “You were just going to let her get raped?!” Yelled Regina “Of course not. We may not be close, but she’s still my daughter.” Hook replied. “Really? Cause you looked pretty comfy on those stairs.” I said. “The reason I was on the stair was in case you couldn’t protect yourself. I knew you could though. You’re your mother’s daughter after all.” “What does she have to do with anything?” Emma questioned. “She was very powerful. With magic. She never used it, but when she did it was enchanting.” “Who was she?” Regina asked curiously. “She was the love of my life. Milah.” He whispered. “Wait isn’t that Neals mother?” Snow asked. “Aye. it is.” Hook replied. “That would mean that she… Is Henry’s aunt…” David said. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” Stated Regina. “Wait. Wait. Wait. Who the hell is Neal?” I questioned.
