Otherwise, I\u2019ve tried to summarize what happened at the beginning of most of the sections of this story. <\/i><\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

Hook
<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ronald had been given specific directions from the caretaker of Selat to go to an island to the north. There he would find me or others to help me search for all the lost heroes and stories. Instead, Ronald went west because he was not very good at directions and had no tools to help guide him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He had walked for a while when he came upon a village just off the coast of a large body of water. He had noticed several children running around playing games. None of them paid any attention to him. They seemed to be looking for someone named Peter. As he approached the body of water, he noticed a large ship in the harbor. It had a black hull and tall masts with white sails. On one of the masts, there flew a flag. On that flag were a skull and crossbones. This was clearly a pirate ship.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As cool as it might have been to explore this ship, the idea of pirates scared Ronald a bit. As he turned in the opposite direction to leave, he felt a sharp point dig into his right \"\"<\/a>shoulder, and a commanding and menacing voice sounded, \u201cNow, where do you think you might be headed?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ronald slowly turned around, trying not to make that point go any deeper into his shoulder, and stood face to face with the pirate ship’s captain himself. Images sped through Ronald\u2019s mind – kid\u2019s looking for someone named Peter, a pirate ship with the Jolly Roger flag on it, a pirate captain who happened to be missing a hand, and in its place was a hook: \u201cYou\u2019re Captain Hook if I\u2019m not mistaken,\u201d Ronald squeaked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWell, who else would I be, Bloody Tinkerbell?\u201d was the pirate\u2019s reply, \u201cNow answer me question.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI..I\u2019m looking for my friend,\u201d Ronald said. \u201cHe\u2019s supposed to be searching for lost stories?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhat might these stories be, he\u2019s looking for?\u201d Hook asked.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ronald\u2019s answer was slow in coming, \u201cI don\u2019t know. I just know I must find him and others to help him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hook was silent for a moment and released his hold on Ronald. It turns out that Captain Hook was missing all of his crew. He knew that they were an essential part of his story. They were all supposed to attend a meeting about how he and others had been wronged in stories. They were supposed to go together, but then Hook was distracted by this ticking sound coming from the water, and he was afraid it might be that bloody crocodile looking to eat his other hand. Hook hid in his cabin for two days, and by the time he came out again, his crew had not returned. He feared the worst.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ronald just stood there shaking. He thought about running away, but this was Captain Hook! He could not escape; if he tried and failed, he was sure he would end up walking the plank.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hook looked deep into Ronald\u2019s eyes. \u201cWell, this be your lucky day!\u201d Hook said, \u201cIt seems like you and me are goin\u2019 on an adventure. Now, where did you say this friend of yours is?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ronald stammered, \u201cSomewhere to the north.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hook was not pleased. He had no crew to man his ship, and Ronald, definitely, did not look like the seaworthy type. \u201cThen I guess we\u2019re going to walk.\u201d This time instead of his hook, the captain pulled out his saber with his good hand and pointed it directly at Ronald\u2019s throat. \u201cLead on!\u201d was Hook\u2019s order. \u201cAnd don\u2019t be thinkin\u2019 about running away. You wouldn\u2019t want that precious body of yours to become a pin cushion, now, would you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hook pointed Ronald to the north and pushed him forward. It appeared there were now two people in search of me. <\/span><\/p>\r\n
