Slip of a tongue from a Lost One

[Neal Cassidy]

you used me. You wanted to kill my father. you tore apart my family. I'D RATHER FEND FOR MYSELF THEN BE WITH YOU. I WANT OFF THIS SHIP PIRATE. Bae couldn't remember how long it had been since he had arrived on Neverland, forced to leave the Darling's and landing on Hook's ship. Hook had treated him like he was special and worth something to someone for the first time in years, but, he later found out that this was all fake as he was just a pawn for how Hook was to get revenge on his father and then handed over to Felix and the rest of the Lost Boys once he got what he wanted. He couldn't believe how stupid he'd been, to believe that someone could actually care about him for him and not for something that suited them, especially his father.  When they learned that he wasn't the boy that they were looking for, suddenly he was dropped on the ground and sent away to the other group of Lost Boys, suddenly once again not special to anyone anymore, just another one of the boys. Bae had set up a 'home' for himself in a small cave on the far side of Neverland, yes, it wasn't much, but, it was the closest thing he had now. Bae was attempting to start a fire in order to warm himself up a bit, although, he was getting used to the cold since most of the nights here were like that. Freezing cold, or rather not exactly warm. Bae closed his eyes, letting the flames bounce off of the walls of his cave. Bae blew on his hands a bit and rubbed them together as he held them over the fire feeling the warmth from it, hitting him. Hearing his stomach rumble, he knew he should try to find some food on this island for dinner. Hopefully the Lost Boys wouldn't find him as he did this, since he wasn't exactly on their good side on this island and who knew where they would take him or do to him. He'd rather just deal with them himself, rather then be taken to Pan. Man, he didn't like him. Picking up his bow and arrow, he slowly made his way out of his small cave and, placing his bow over his shoulder. He slowly snuck across the island as quietly as he could, hoping not to wake any of the other Lost Boys up, since he knew that they may not take it so lightly, especially at being woken up. He made sure to look on the ground for loose branches or leaves, anything that could make noise to make sure he didn't step on them. As he made it past Pan's main camp, he still walked carefully, but, less sneakily like now since he was no longer near most of the Lost Boys. Bae was looking straight ahead and as he glanced back towards the camp to make sure the Lost Boys hadn't woken up, he didn't notice a lose tree branch sticking out, causing him to trip over it, sending him to the ground as he took a tumble.  Bae said, with a soft groan as he landed on the ground. “Oh man.” Bae picked up his bow and arrow once again and placed it over his shoulder, as he dusted himself off. "Ow! Man that hurt" Bae said, as he looked down at the new scraps on his knees and elbows, "Dammit, now I'm going to have to heal that." Bae told himself softly. Looking around, he suddenly noticed where he was, and he saw that he had somehow tumbled to the beach of Neverland, that must've been some tumble. Bae soon saw himself surrounded by a small group of people, not unlike Felix and his small group of Lost Boys, wondering if they were looking for him for the same reason they were. They suddenly asked him about some brunette girl who was called Anna, “I'm sorry I don't know anyone by that name” Bae didn't even know that there were girls on this island, well, except for Tink, but, she was no brunette.  As he watched the boys, he felt himself being grabbed by one of them and dragged on board a ship. This was all well and good, but, how were they planning to escape this land, since once people entered it, they could never leave it. Bae still felt the boat move anyway and he suddenly found himself being pushed into a small room and he let out a scream, hoping someone would hear him. “What's going on? Let me out of here.” Bae shouted as he pounded on the door. “What do you want from me?” Bae asked as he called out, pounding on the door even louder. “I didn't do anything” Bae said, his voice lowering to a whisper as he sat down on the ground and wrapped his arms around his knees as he rested his head on them, starting to softly sob, knowing that he was probably not getting out of here anytime soon. for @tiri | 826 words | wearing: THIS | notes none | credit JELLYFISH PRINCESS

Aboard the vessel there were uniqe designs across each bolt, and beam. even the doors t othe cell their guest was placed within had strangee markings on the hinges and each weld mark; the two men weren't exactly gentle, yet they were firm. Within moments they were underway. About a day later and two differnet soldiers came and escorted their guest, a young boy, to the captains cabin.

Soldiers were everywhere on the decks, and from the look of things they were in openwaters, but faintly through the fog land was seen to the northwest; very faintly.

"Sir" A soldier told the captain "Our guest has been placed in your cabin as ordered; only problem being we were unable to clean him up or make him presentable"

"Did you treat his wounds that he had when he was brought aboard ?" came the question

"As best we were able to do so at the time sir. he put up a fight, Dreidan is in with the ships doctor now with a broken nose" Came the reply

"Alright. Good, hopefully by now the mssenger bird has gotten to the Queen; make the ship ready for her arrival, inform the cook as well, no doubt the woman will be hungry upon arrival." Sethies knew that Elsa was scared of the open water since the death of her parents at sea four years before. As a result she ate whatever was in reach, anything to take her mind off being on the open waters.

Another soldier appeared. "Sir! Her Majesty's ship has been sighted and it is moving towards us as quickly as they can. Out spotter said she is on the main deck, and from what I could see, did not appear happy"

"When she has to go out to open sea, she is never happy after the loss of her mother and father" Sethies replied, taking the spyglass he looked through it as the smaller, not as fast skimmer, Elsa stood next to the helm, her arms crossed over her chest, her ice blue dress, glittering in the sunlight.; but her expression was one that could ruin milk or kill horse at ten paces

For Sethies, this expression was quite normal. "Ready the ship for the Queens arrival!" Went the call

Twenty minutes later and Elsa's smaller craft docked with the much larger Man-O-War vessel; and when she set her bare feet upon the main deck of the Whitesparrow, Sethies could see she was quite livid when she called his name. "Sethies!! Tell me truly, why you sent a messenger bird to me, and not come to me yourself ? Why did you drop anchor out here ? You know I hate the open seas!" she thundered as mad as she could possibly be, Yes she was angry, but she was actually truly terrified of where she currently was.

"Why didn't you dock ?"

"Our guest awaits you in my cabin your majesty. I felt it prudent we drop anchor out here rather then endanger everyone in the kingdom, after all, where we had picked him up from, he may be ill, or carry something that does not harm him but could harm everyone else." Sethies replied, it made sense

Elsa glared at him his words made sense, but she was still unhappy to be this far from the safety of the fjord. "Fine fine, I'll speak to your guest, Captain Sethies, were is.... he now ?" She said, grumbling softly in Arabic, something a friend had taught her, a few swear words mostly. She sent Sethies out to find Anna, but now.....

"My cabin madam... or rather, your cabin." Sethies replied calmly, when Elsa was aboard, the captains cabin automatically became hers, he motioned in the direction of the cabin and even offered to escort her to it, but she waved it off with a still angered huff and stalked towards the cabin door. Her barefeet leaving no sounds on the planking of the ships deck as she went to her cabin

you used me. You wanted to kill my father. You tore apart my family. I'D RATHER FEND FOR MYSELF THEN BE WITH YOU. I WANT OFF THIS SHIP PIRATE. Keeping his head on his knees, Bae felt the tears continuing to leave his eyes. He still didn't even know why he was brought here in the first place, it wasn't like he was the person they were looking for, and yet they had abducted him and brought him here anyway. All he'd wanted to do was protect a family he cared about, and he'd ended up with a pirate that stole his mother from him and swore revenge on his father, in the clutches of some clueless yes men lost boys and then Peter Pan, and now he was here in this strange ship brought the same way he was taken from Hook's ship to the main island. When the guards had grabbed him, it had brought back so many flashbacks to those centuries ago when he was handed over to Felix by that stupid pirate Hook. Hearing voices from outside of the room he had been placed in, Bae raised his head and moved himself closer to the door, hoping to hear what they were saying. His 200 years on that island having to listen out for Pan or his lost boys and Shadow, had made his ears quite stronger and more adept at hearing voices then most others his age, or as they'd once been. He didn't understand the words they were saying, but, he knew they were talking about him. As he heard the voices stop, and the woman's footsteps start to come closer to him Bae stepped back away from the door and wiped his eyes as best he could, to make it not look as obvious he'd been crying. This was something that he'd gotten pretty good at, those years on Neverland and in the workhouses crying because his parents hadn't wanted him, and then having to wipe them afterwards, so as not to show weakness to the Lost Boys or Pan himself. Bae sat down on the bed that was in there, and as he waited for the woman to arrive at the room he looked around. His mind flashing back to the Jolly Roger and the room he'd stayed in aboard that ship. It was about the same design as those quarters, it seemed all these ship owners shopped at the same place and then handed them over to the next one they saw in order to help them design theirs. Flashes of Hook's face on that night the Shadow had taken him, handing him that blanket and the warm dry clothes, acting as though he cared about him. And hadn't heard his name before, it would've been more obvious if he had been paying attention to Hook's and Smee's reaction to his name. With the footsteps getting closer, he came back into the present and prepared to meet whoever it was that was looking for this 'Anna' that those men were asking about on the island. Leaning back, he waited for the door to this cabin to open, and to see the face of whoever this woman was. for @tiri | 507 words | wearing: THIS | notes none | credit JELLYFISH PRINCESS

Grumbling to herself Elsa opened the door to the captains cabin, her cabin at that moment. The law was simple, the exact instant, if not moments before even arriving or touching the Whitesparrow, the Captains Cabin automatically became the place the Royal Family was to use as a bedroom, office, library, and general throne room. It was out fitted as if for royalty; a large ornate desk adorned the back, a pair of low sofas, two beds on one side. And finally a huge dining table.

The door opened and Elsa entered, barefoot. She hated wearing even so much as snowdown sandals on a ship; she was always barefoot on ships. Heck she lately went barefoot in her own castle recently too. It was about two weeks since her sister's ship disappeared south. To Mysthaven.

Elsa stepped into the cabin, closing the door behind her she leaned on it. Muttering softly in Arabic 'Why didn't you at least get into the harbor instead of way out here Sethies ?' She then took a deep breath, she felt sick to her stomach, the open sea scared her to death. Since the loss of her parents Elsa had been terrified of the sea

Elsa took in the young boy that her soldiers had aboard. He looked thin, but helathy thin, perhaps he had not eaten yet ? She took in his attire at the time as well. Leather, worn cloth. Old by the look of it yet well maintained. As if this boy knew what he was doing. She spoke in english then, she tried to keep fear from her voice as she spoke. "Hello, you must be the reason why Captain Sethies refused to come into port ?" Her silvery blue dress glittered as if woven with glass. When it was in fact woven with ice

you used me. you wanted to kill my father. you tore apart my family. I'D RATHER FEND FOR MYSELF THEN BE WITH YOU. I WANT OFF THIS SHIP PIRATE Bae looked at the woman as she opened the door and entered. Standing there in silence, he just stayed leaning against the wall looking at her. He raised his eyebrows as he heard the mumble in a new language that he hadn't heard before. Obviously something had made her angry or frustrated. And Bae had no intentions to raise fire. Or add to it. Noticing that the woman had turned towards him, a small smile grew on his face. He knew he probably didn't look his best right now, that could've been thanks to his 2 centuries on Neverland. There was limited food and no way to change his clothes at all. At least thanks to his short time with the Darlings, Bae had been able to sew it at least to maintain it for the most part. "Hello. Um, I guess so. If I am, I apologise for it." Bae said, fixing up his collar. for @tiri | 156 words | wearing: THIS | notes none | credit JELLYFISH PRINCESS

Seeing the boy looking nervous about how she was acting, she was indeed terrified of the open waters. There was really no way to help it truly. She took a deep breath to calm herself and smiled warmly. "It is alright. there is no need to apologise" Anna was right, at some point Elsa was going to have to get over her fear of the open waters somehow!

She stepped from the door then deeper into the cabin. It was not everyday when someone came like this, to her kingdom. "Are you alright ? My men did not harm you when they brought you aboard did they ?" Elsa was concerned for two reasons, the first being this was a young boy, possibly around fourteen or fifteen ? And second, well, he was a young boy, harmleess really, even with his bow; Something stirred inside Elsa's icy heart. She truly hoped her soldiers hadn't harmed Baelfire

So she asked softly, "You seem to have the look of searching for someone, or something... right ? Like me." She said, sometimes she did not want to admit to trying to find her sister. Only her Royal Guard truly knew, along with Kristoff, where Anna had gone off to right before her wedding

The question now was; was this young boy going to ask her who she sought ?

[Neal Cassidy]

YOU USED ME. YOU WANTED TO KILL MY FATHER. You tore apart my family I'D RATHER FEND FOR MYSELF THEN BE WITH YOU. I WANT OFF THIS SHIP PIRATE. Bae couldn't hide his nervousness as he saw the girls actions. He hoped that things weren't going to go bad, and that he hadn't done anything, even though he'd only just got here. Returning her smile, Bae looked at her. "Are you sure you're alright?" Bae asked, tilting his head softly. Bae wasn't an expert, but, he could sense sometimes when things weren't right. Stepping backwards slightly as the woman stepped off of the door, Bae looked up at her, before nodding softly. "Yeah, I'm alright. Not much, besides not alot can hurt me anymore anyway." Bae lowered his head and kicked the air of the ground in front of him. Bae knew that although he was only fourteen, he had been through a whole lot of pain. A whole lot more then what would've been caused by her guards. "There is something I'm looking for, but, I'm not sure you can help me with it." Bae said. Unless this woman could bring him a family or someone to care then she probably couldn't. "So does what you're looking for have something to do with someone named Anna?" Bae asked, curious as to whether that's why they were asking about her. for @tiri | 201 words | wearing: THIS | notes none | credit JELLYFISH PRINCESS

Elsa nodded, after a deep breath she said softly, "No.... I'll be honest with you. I'm terrified of the open sea. Where this ship current rests anchored at this time. Its hard to explain, but it concerns how and where my parents died." She said, she took a deep breath to calm herself down. Her mother, oh how she missed her dearly.

She smiled then, happy that he was alright and unharmed by her soldiers. "You seek something ? I can help as best I can... Maybe, I'm trying to find my sister. She's been missing two weeks now, to Mysthaven. To the South" She meant the Enchanted Forest. Hopefully he knew what she meant

When he mentioned Anna she stared at him. "Anna ? You've seen her ?" Her hopes perked up it seemed, her sapphire eyes seemingly glitterly brightly at mention of her sister. had this young lad seen her ?

[Neal Cassidy]

you used me. you wanted to kill my father. you tore apart my family I'D RATHER FEND FOR MYSELF THEN BE WITH YOU. I WANT OFF THIS SHIP PIRATE. Bae listened as Elsa explained what exactly was wrong. "Well, if you're terrified of the open sea why are you on it? I mean, I don't want to seem rude with that question. Oh, I'm sorry. I lost my parents as well." Bae knew that the way she had lost her parents, was different to how he'd lost his. Well, at least his father anyway. Bae kept his head lowered, as he sighed sadly and kicked the air in front of him with his foot. Returning Elsa's smile, Bae adjusted the sleeves of his shirt, and, dusting himself off slightly. "Yeah, I am looking for something. You can try to help, but, it won't do any good. Myst Haven, I've actually heard of that place. I know where it is, very well actually." Bae said, knowing that Myst Haven was another name for the Enchanted Forest. The land he'd once called home. Bae looked at Elsa and noticed her reaction to his question about Anna. "No, I'm sorry I haven't. I just recall them asking if I'd seen her before they brought me here." Bae didn't like saying no, but, he wasn't going to give her false hope. He'd had enough of that for himself, he wasn't going to give that to the poor girl. "I wish I could say I had, I really do, and, I'm really sorry." Bae said, looking up to give himself a hint as to how this woman will react to his words. for @tiri | 248 words | wearing: THIS | notes none | credit JELLYFISH PRINCESS

She smiled faintly. "It is alright, my parents died in a shipwreck at sea. Five years ago. Since then I've been scared of the open waters, no land in sight for example worries me." Funny thing was, she'd take the open waters over going anywhere near horses! He did nothing to insult, after all he was but a boy to begin with wasn't he ? No older then fourteen or fifteen ? Elsa couldn't tell, but he was shy it seemed. And he had lost someone too ? He lost his parents too. "I guess we can relate then. We both lost those dear to us."

She looked at him confused, almost scared seemingly of the mention of Mysthaven. "You know of it ?" That was where Anna went! "Anna has been gone a month, I'm starting to really worry. But you have been there, you know it there yes ? What dangers are there that she could face ? If any." Elsa then realised something. She forgot to introduce herself!

"My name is Elsa" Sometimes being queen made one forget things. She took in Baelfires appearance, gaunt, gainly, hungry perhaps ? So she asked "Have you eaten anything since brought aboard ?" If not, Sethies was getting a dressing down for sure! She had a lovely new brig in her Navy that he could command. Recently completed it needed a crew and captain. Just as soon as she found a able captain for the Whitesparrow.
