Snippet #1573570

Captain James Hook, or simply Hook to most of his crew, walked on the shore for the first time in who even knew how long. He wasn't alone either, he had Smee with him of course, and also his cabin girl Scarlett. They were on a hunt for creatures that had started showing up all around the island of Neverland. They had found out; thanks to Scarlett; that these creatures had to be fought by a pirate and a lost boy or girl together. Otherwise they could not be defeated, this irked Hook to no end, he would rather kill the lost boy's then have their aid. As it was, he had no choice, and at least he could use one of his crew....even though she was technically a lost girl.

He rather liked Scarlett, not that she would ever know that, she reminded him of the girl he loved before he came to Neverland. That and it was most unusual for any of the children to want to join his crew. He had had Wendy at one point, but that was to trick Pan. This was different, Scarlett had actually come to them, wanting to grow up, and wanting to be a pirate. Hook had agreed, and the lass had worked hard to gain the trust of his crew. He wondered if the 'no aging' rule that applied to everyone so far that had come to Neverland would bend for the lass, allowing her to grow up. He doubted it, but he wouldn't tell that to the girl, squashing dreams was something he only did to Pan.
