Shorts shook his head as he observed the children's behavior. He noticed one of them was ready to escape; which wasn't going to happen. He placed both of his hands on his hips. Pretending as if it was a gesture within the social talk, but really was pulling close to his rope if he needed to fetch them. The pirates' icy blue eyes landed on the little girl and focused on the statement she made. "A couple of friends? Where did they go?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Emily's jaw nearly dropped as Zack uttered out the words. It was as if he cursed a forbidden word to the skies and it disturbed her. "I don't think you should be saying that Mr. Zack." The girl with bouncy tight brown curls said to him in a serious tone, even if the topic didn't sound like it should be taken seriously. "You'll more likely kill one." She watched his reaction. Knowing full while he going to think she crazy and he'll probably leave her to the pirates. She could recall back in her earlier years in school she was bullied a lot of times for this concept in mind, though the legend behind Peter Pan is true. Her mothers stories weren't always fictional. Some of them were true.
Again the problem with stating these and defending what she grew up with was she could face social isolation. How could she managed herself without Zack? However, her morals stand with the standards she set for herself. Fairies need to be protected.

Ellie felt Oakley tug on her arm, and grew confused. These adults were here to help, right? She wasn't sure why Oakley was uncomfortable all of a sudden. But if he wanted to leave...maybe they should. He seemed to be concerned for a reason. To Ellie, these adults were the ticket to answers about where they were. To leave them would mean they were all alone again. But that wasn't so bad, was it? They had Zack and Emily, and they were very capable. If they were together, everything would be fine...right?
She decided to trust Oakley's judgement, and go along with his lie. "Oh, I didn't explain it right." she said, hoping it was convincing. She pointed at the boy next to her, with the arm that wasn't being grabbed. "He's my friend. He woke up with me. There's two of us, you see. Two friends." She started in the direction that Oakley was tugging her.
Spencer's eyebrows raised and she blinked, her finger placed on her lip in concentration. It seemed the boy had caught on first, and no longer trusted them. Perhaps it would have been best to leave the rapier behind after all...but she couldn't do that. It was her insurance, the trump card that kept her head above water. She wouldn't go anywhere without it.
The girl seemed to have realized it too; now they were trying to subtly get away. Spencer had to admit their parents probably raised them well, but that was to her and her pirates' disadvantage. If Shorts has anything resembling a brain in his head, she thought, he'll get on with it soon.
Zack had to admit he was confused at the girl's words. He'd...kill a fairy? By saying they aren't real? That didn't make any sense to him, and he stared at her with a raised eyebrow. But she seemed really serious about it. He didn't understand it, but he decided he would go along with her and watch his words anyway. "Um...okay." he said. "If you really hate me saying it, I won't." It was probably better to listen to her. Dream or not, this world was weird. If he could really see fairies with his own two eyes, then...who knows? Perhaps Emily Darling was right.

(I'm sorry I didn't reply yesterday ;-; )
Oakley had to stop himself from sighing in relief when Ellie caught on. Great. Now they just had to go, run back to Emily and Zack, so that they could all sort this mess out together. Oakley had seen that look before in the female pirate's eyes. He had trusted adults before. And he had ended up regretting it.
He couldn't recall why he had regretted it, his memories still swirling in a vague, tangled mess. But that didn't matter now. All that mattered was getting away from these suspicious individuals. So he tugged at Ellie's arm, pulling her along as he began to back away slowly.
"I think I just remembered where my family is.", he lied to the pirates, ignorant to the fact that he was in Neverland, and that the pirates would know that his family would never appear here. "So we have to go meet them...um...bye." And he turned to leave.

(It's chill. I have an idea for my character Emily, but I think I would rather run the idea with both of you before placing it as part of the plot.)
Emily formed a nervous lined lip as the words were uttered out of Zack and her shoulders indicated she was surrendering. "Hate is such a strong word, though." She said, repeating what her mother would say to her and her siblings, as she still didn't realize her hand was on his arm.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Before another step was taken away from him Shorts quickly run to the other side where he could immediately block the two kids from escaping. "Hmm." Shorts hummed out while his fingers pulled out his rope. Ready to play cowboys vs. Indians with them if they did run. He hoped the others would get the hint and circle in these two kids. "That's quite unfortunate you lied to us just now young man, but then again." Shorts stared at the young boy dead in the eyes with the loop rope being formed, so he can drag bodies. "Neither of you had good parents to teach you that you shouldn't be talking to strangers."
Shorts boldly stepped forward and was right in the two children's space. "I recommend none of you run because I will chase you and, trust me when I say, you don't want me to chase you down."

(Yea, I apologize for the delay. I've been going to school and working on my costume for Halloween tomorrow.
Anyways I was thinking since Emily is part of the Darlings, the original family that hanged out with Peter Pan, I was thinking the island's magic partly exist because her family creates that belief system of everyone else believing. I like to think the fairies are keeping Neverland's magic alive, but then the new generation of people believing in Neverland and Peter Pan is tied to Emily. If Emily manages to convince these group of kids this island is Neverland then it can help bring back some of the magic.
I'm just brainstorming though and my wording seems off, but I was wondering what do you guys think of this?)

(No problem, I imagine we'll all be busy for Halloween, so ^^
And I really like this idea ^^ So it provides a solid reason for why the magic is fading, and a reason that the children might want to go back, to help spread the belief?
I had a bit of an idea that might provide some conflict later on. I was thinking that Oakley probably wouldn't want to leave Neverland, and the reason would be tied to his memories. Which is why he doesn't trust adults. Figured that it could potentially lead to character drama, and if the other children want to leave, maybe even some sabotage...?)

(I'll post a picture of my Halloween costume when I get dressed up later on. Oh, okay good. Someone knows what I'm talking about Lol It's either that or the pirates have dominated the land so much that Captain Hook told the other pirates to call this island Pirate island instead of Neverland. So when kids were coming on the island and being taken they were told this island is not Neverland. It's pirate island, so the belief system started being crashed. I think part of this belief system can be linked to Peter Pan not being able to fly while also losing Tinker Bell. Sabotage? How so? Like someone in the group tricks him in not staying on the island? OH, like if there was a love interest that doesn't want to leave him behind. I'm not sure? I'm pretty sure the details will fit somewhere or โฝBoopโฝ might have an idea. It'll actually be cool if Oakley stays. For all we know he might be an original Neverlander.) |

(oooh awesome!
I guess by sabotage, I mean if he doesn't want to leave, he might try to get others to stay with him, or mess up any plans they might have on leaving. But it's just an idea that can be worked on whenever ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ All of these ideas are good!)

(adkskdj HI IM NOT DEAD  ) Ellie froze in place, eyes wide with sudden fear. Now it was obvious to her that this man was very, very bad, and probably the others too. She shifted closer to Oakley, her only beacon of comfort in the face of four enemies. "G-go away..." was all she could whimper out as frightened tears began to well in her eyes.
Spencer tapped a finger to her chin in thought. A slight smirk began to grow on her face as she watched the children's fear grow in front of her. It seems there were others after all; it wasn't just her imagination. Her other hand reached down to the rapier at her hip, her thumb lightly grazing the hilt of the threatening weapon. "I would do as he says if I were you." she purred. "And tell us the truth. Things could go very badly for you if you lie to us again." The fairies gently alighted on Spencer's shoulders, one on each side. Unnoticed by the pirate, their expressions had changed. Pearl had both arms wrapped around her middle, her eyebrows drooped with concern. Julian held his arms behind his body as he stared at his tiny feet.
Weird, Zack couldn't help but think. I don't think I understand her much. Emily Darling seemed a little different from most people he'd met in his short life of 15 years. Not that it was a bad thing, but it did mean he had to fight not to give her too many weird looks. "You're right, it is." he said instead, a little uncomfortable that she was still touching his arm but not making any move about it. "I guess what I mean is, if you don't like me talking like that, I won't. No more disbelief, yeah?" He still wasn't quite sure what was going on with the fairies, but he decided to think about it later. There were important matters right now. He shifted his attention back to the beach, and his eyebrows furrowed in concern.
"Hey...it looks like something's happening over there." |

(Glad that you're back, Boop ^^ )
Oakley fixed the adults with a glare, his stare shifting between Shorts and Spencer. Shorts had a rope, and the woman had a sword, so there was no point in trying to struggle. Resistance was futile. Oakley gulped in fear, resigning himself to his fate and choosing not to run.
However, he couldn't tell them where the other children were. He just couldn't, no matter how much the pirates threatened him. Oakley was scared, terrified, but even so, he could feel courage seep into his heart. His hands balled into fists, and he glared up at the pirates with angry brown eyes.
"I'm telling you, we're the only ones here!" he yelled, quite out of character for him. "And I won't tell you anything else!" He felt Ellie shift closer to him, and he did the same, moving to stand in front of her in a protective stance. It probably looked childish to the pirates, but for Oakley, it was all he felt that he could do.

Shorts slipped out a sinister chuckle as he shook his head. "I already know you're lying since that dumb girl told us there are more people, but you want to continue covering for your friends." While pausing for a moment to take a deep breath through his nose his fingers continue to fiddle with the rope. Making the loop larger with his craft. "You seem like a good kid." He directed this to Oakley. "But then there are consequences for lying." Shorts said this as he tossed the looped rope in the air and landed around Oakley. The young pirate tighten the loop and pulled the two kids away from each other.
"Spencer get the girl! If this boy continues to lie we'll kill the girl. One less kid will be fine."
(Just give me the heads up if I need to edit this. I don't want to be godmodding.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Zack pointed it out what was occurring at the beach it made Emily curious enough to glance towards the area and drop the conversation. She gasped then quickly used her hands cover her mouth to muffle out the noise she feared the other pirates would hear. Her eyes widen in fear as her eyes were glued to her friends and silently praying it will get better.

Ellie let out a small wail and tried to reach for Oakley before he was tugged away from her, but to no avail. What were they gonna do to him? What were they gonna do to her? She saw the tall woman begin to stalk towards her, and all she could think to do was run. She turned around and started to sprint, but her rain boots caught the sand beneath her feet and she tripped, her small form sprawling on the ground. She tried to scramble to her feet but the woman was already there, her gloved hand reaching down to grasp at Ellie's braid. "AAHHHH!" she screamed in terror.
Spencer yanked on the little girl's hair, and her body jerked upward to her feet. "Quiet, brat." she spat. She turned her around to face Shorts and the boy, and with her other hand she drew her rapier and held it out threateningly in front of her. "Perhaps now you'll listen, unless you're stupid. Tell the truth, boy."
The fairies had been jostled from their places on Spencer's shoulders when she began to move, so now they floated above everyone as witnesses.
When Zack saw the strangers attack he sucked in a breath, and his whole body tensed up. Absentmindedly he shifted into a running stance. "Something's wrong." he muttered, his tone cold and sober. "I have to go out there."
But he didn't start running. Perhaps it was fear? Confusion at everything? The obvious drawn weapons? The familiar face? He didn't have the time or focus to figure it out.
(Aww you're not godmodding!)

Oakley winced as he felt the rope tighten around him, rubbing uncomfortably through his shirt and against his skin. His eyes began to water--not only from the burn of the rope, but also because of their situation. His hope was dying. If he didn't tell the truth, they would kill Ellie, and he had every reason to believe that they would.
The tears welled up in his eyes until they overflowed and spilled softly over his freckled cheeks. "It's true," he sniffled defeatedly, unable to keep his gaze off the ground. "There are two others with us." Why had he decided to approach these pirates? Because he thought it would help, that it would make the others feel better once they knew that they were saved. But he had been wrong. This was all his fault; he should have run after Ellie, prevented her from going over to the beach and taken her back to the jungle so that they would be safe.
Guilt riddled his heart. It made him sad, but also angry. He felt a surge of emotions then, and in the heat of the moment, he suddenly lifted his head and yelled in the direction of the jungle: "Emily! Zack! Run away! Get out of here!"
(You're not godmodding at all, Dreamgurl!
Oh and if I'm spotlighting at all, please let me know and I'll stop!)

(I actually donโt know what spotlighting means, but I think everyone is fine and the action is going man :0)
Emily nearly let out a yelp as she witnessed what the pirates were doing with her two friends. Thankfully, she held her hands over her mouth that muffled out the noise. The young girlโs emotions were on edge. Her eyes were widened with fear, her knees weaken as she trembled, and her heart pound against her chest like a drum. Her breathing was unsteady, though she sucked her lower lip to attempt maintaining the sound. In hopes Zack and her can still stay hidden.
However, when Oakley shouted for them to get out, it made Emily snap out of this nightmare daze, or at least how to get out of it. She heard Zackโs comment and, at first, didnโt say nothing. The words struggled to become vocal, and yet she shook her head. Her small hands reached for his shoulder with some form of tears rolling down her cheek when she said. โWe got to go! Oakley is giving us a warning to run.โ Emily spoke loud enough for him to hear, above a whisper, and her body language begged him to go with her.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Shorts laughed from the childrenโs vulnerable state until he heard voices in the jungle area. While he held the rope in his hands, keeping Oakley in a tight grip, he called out to the fairies. โGo check the jungle area. The two other brats must be there too.โ

(I could be wrong, but pretty sure that spotlighting is when a character is taking up too much of the lead role, or acting like the main character too much? I mean, ideally everyone gets a chance to be in the spotlight every now and then, I just hope that I'm not, like...doing that too much o: )

Ellie was silently grateful to Oakley for being brave enough to warn the others. At this point she was reduced to a sobbing mess, tears streaming down her face. With no one to help them, what would become of them now? Her mother had warned her of kidnapping when she was smaller, but she never imagined it would actually happen to her. Or how terrifying it would be. Obeying the mean lady's order for fear of the sword in her hand, Ellie remained quiet.
Spencer's grip on the girl's hair tightened as her irritation flared. "Tch. Next time you order my fairies around I'll poke out your guts." (asdsdj I'm sorry she's so mean ;~; ) she snarled to Shorts as she flicked her hand, the rapier flashing reflected sunlight with its movement. But the fairies had already zoomed away at the pirate's order, sticking close to each other as they headed towards the line of trees.
Zack hated running away. He really did. But with the perpetrators having clearly already caught their friends and brandishing weapons to boot, it became obvious he really had no choice. And Emily Darling wanted to leave. Her voice broke him from his stupor. Swallowing his pride, he turned away and ran with her, away from the scene at the beach and the floating lights that were steadily drawing closer.
It's not Spencer, it can't be. She'd never do that. And she's long gone, anyway.
Wherever they were, this place was clearly a lot more dangerous than they first perceived.
Pearl felt uncertain as her and Julian flew through the jungle's trees in pursuit of the other children. At least he was there, which was slightly comforting. When she glanced over at him, she could see the same expression on his face as well. Perhaps they were thinking the same thing.
"Hey, Julian." she muttered quietly, and he turned his head to meet her gaze wordlessly. She took a deep breath and continued. "You don't really wanna do this anymore...do you?" The other fairy was quiet for a moment, but he answered. "No, I don't. I hate this, too." Pearl sighed. "But we don't really have a choice. The pirates are our only hope, so we have to do as they say."
Julian's eyebrows raised, as if he'd come to an epiphany. "...What if there was another way? We could find new people to entertain, and then we wouldn't have to trick children anymore." Pearl weighed his words for a moment. "You could be right. We should keep an eye out. Though for now I guess we just have to do our job." The iridescent fairy nodded and they moved forward.
(Planting the seed of doubt in the fairies' minds :3)
