《Hooks Raven{Peter Pan}》Chapter 21
Advertisement
*Peter Pans POV*
As I walked into the forest next to Edward and Posa, I kept turning my head around to look at Raven. I know I was being silly but I just had that feeling that something bad was going to happen.
I felt Posa grab my arm. "I know you're worried Peter but she'll be fine. This is Raven we're talking about. She practically fights crocodiles." She said trying to reassure me.
"I know but I just have a terrible feeling about something. I don't want her to get hurt." I said.
"I know Peter but trust me when I say that no one in their right mind would try and hurt, kidnap or fight Raven." Edward said patting my shoulder.
"Can I just remind you that I did all three of those. I cut her face, I kidnapped her and I fought her." I reminded them.
"Yes but you're not exactly sane are you Pan?" Edward pointed out.
"You have a point there." I agreed. He was right of course. No one would try and harm Raven. Except me. And Andrew. But besides that no one would hurt her.
We walked through the forest a bit more until we reached a relatively clear spot. We quickly hid in the trees and bushes so that no one would see us.
We must have waited for about half an hour before we saw the pirates start to trickle into the clearing led by Andrew.
They stopped and started to drink from the small river flowing along.
"Alright men. When we do eventually reach their little hiding spot we will show no mercy. These people are school boys who must be taught a lesson." He started to say. I could see a few of the younger ones nodding in agreement.
However I did notice that a few of the older ones, especially those I noticed were from Hooks crew look very uncertain about the killing of children. We may have fought with them several times but we never killed anyone. Neither did they. But Andrew was telling them to go ahead and kill some pretty much innocent children. Clearly they didn't think he was a very good leader.

"When we reach their camp, we will set off the canons and bomb the place to the ground. Any survivors we shall fight and then we will take Raven home and have the biggest wedding in Neverland." Andrew finished as if he had waited ages for this plan to go ahead. Which to be honest he probably did.
"Pan go and make an entrance. Bring Edward." Posa whispered to me. I nodded and hit Edwards arm pointing to the pirates. He seemed to understand.
"Oh Parkins. Remember us? We're those horrid Lost boys who stole the love of your life." Edward said popping up from the floor. I followed him.
"Well I'm not sure if he remembers you Edward but he probably remembers me." I said swinging my sword around.
"Oh Pan. What a surprise. We don't want a piece offering. We want to fight you. And the lost boys." He said uncertainly. Well Raven had said he was afraid of us.
"We're not here to make a piece offering. We're here to protect our home." I said.
"Two boys are going to protect a great big camp like yours? I doubt it." Andrew scoffed.
"No. Two boys and their army will protect our home." Edward said as those who were hidden finally arose from their hiding places, surrounding the pirates.
"I wanted to say that." I muttered to Edward.
"Well you should have said it sooner." He replied
Meanwhile the pirates were looking around at our army.
"Hook? What is this? First you sell your daughter to Pan and now you are fighting against those you have lived with for your whole life?" Andrew said looking appalled.
"I see it as protecting those I love from the ones who mean to cause them harm." Hook replied.
"Captain Parkins. Is that Mariposa? The old leader of the golden sparrows . I thought she was dead." One of the pirates said pointing at Posa.
"I don't know. Don't ask me silly questions. Now Pan. Please step aside so that we can rescue Raven or we shall be forced to fight you which will not be very pleasant I can tell you." Parkins said standing up straight and drawing his sword.

"Yes I know how awful it must be for you to have to get your hands dirty. Or worse your hideous little chipmunk face." Edward said sarcastically.
"How dare you? You little...why you...I mean. Oh just attack them!" Andrew yelled pointing at us. Immediately the pirates all ran forward to fight us, screaming as they went.
I dove straight into the battle, trying my best not to kill anyone. But it was extremely difficult as most of the younger pirates were intent on killing.
I could see the older pirates doing the same as me and simply dropping the Lost boys on the floor or giving them a cut or something similar.
Suddenly out of the corner of my eye, I saw Andrew sneak around the battle and head towards the den with a few more of the pirates. I quickly grabbed Edward and we grabbed Posa and Hook and a few others and we all ran after Andrew.
We ran through the trees as quickly as we could trying to catch up with them before they could get to the camp but they had a good head start and unfortunately they had practically reached the camp before we came anywhere near them.
We ran as fast as we could to try and stop them before they hurt anyone. We were only a few metres away when we heard the sound of screaming. I saw Raven stand in front of them ready to fight trying to let the others escape.
But Andrew ordered his crew to chase after them. Wendy was ushering them along but they were almost too slow.
"Peter. Go to Raven quickly. We'll get the others." Posa told me, running off in the direction of the pirates with Hook and Edward.
"Lost boys stay here unless I need help. Jasper you're in charge." I said before running over to Raven.
To my horror, Andrew had picked Raven up and was running off with her.
"No!" I yelled still chasing them. I had almost caught up when suddenly the pirates started closing in on me. I saw Raven bang her head on a tree and she fell limp in Andrews arms.
"Raven!" I yelled as I was swamped in pirates. I didn't want to fight. I just sunk to the ground and sat there. The pirates soon left after inflicting pain upon us all.
I eventually stood up and walked over to where Posa was standing, wiping up the cuts and bruises.
"Peter!" Edward said running over to me. He had a few cuts on his face but nothing serious.
We walked over to where Wendy was sitting surrounded by the small lost boys trying to calm them down.
"Peter! Wheres Raven?Did you find her? Is she okay?" She asked asked as soon as I sat down.
"No. When I got there in was surrounded by pirates and Andrew ran off with her." I said sadly.
"Well then we should go after her. We need to help her." Wendy said.
"Wendy, we can't just barge in there. We might need a few days to plan and a good few of the lost boys are injured so they'll need to heal." Edward said.
"Edwards right. We will wait a few days until everyone is feeling better and then we'll go and save Raven." I promised.
"Do we even have a few days? You heard what he said. He wants to marry her in the next few days." Wendy reminded us.
"Well we'll just have to save her before she is doomed to a life of misery."

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

8 117A Wish
This is a story where there are no heroes and no villains. This is a tale about revenge, despair, and hope. This is a story where the truth is constantly hidden deep beneath the surface, and nothing is ever as it initially appears. The world is a stage. Every character has their part to play before their exit. They are actors, dancing on a stage set for them while searching for the truth behind the façade. Only time will tell whether they will be able to escape their predestined fate, to search for their happy end, or whether the promised end is nothing more than, a wish. Author's Note: Update will be very unpredictable as I travel quite a bit for my work.
