Heyo! Okay so I suck at Fanfictions based on what I think will happen so I am going to write an Tangled AU for CaptainSwan. Emma's a baby at first, but don't worry she'll be closer to Hook's age soon! Hope you like it.

Hooked

Chapter One: A Dark Deed

"What happened? You didn't kill her." Killian inquired to Cora, while extending a gentleman's hand to raise her from her crypt.

"There's been a change in plans, my daughter needs me. She doesn't have the strength to do what needs to be done to enact the curse. She needs me to concoct a new plan; one that will provider he with everlasting happiness." Cora held to the red rose tighter as she prepared to confront her daughter.

Hook was forced to wait outside the doors, while Cora and The Evil Queen Regina had their spat. He listened to their bickering escalate for what seemed like hours, until finally a guard came to escort him in the now quiet room. Cora sat on the edge chair near a fireplace while Regina stared gazing out the window. Hook strolled in silently waiting to be addressed. After several moments Regina spoke.

"Hello, Hook." Regina purred as she turned on the pirate.

"Regina." Hook greeted tiredly.

"I see you've made quite the alliance with my mother. The one you were supposed to kill." She waltzed around him, a circling buzzard; her glittering black dress flowing behind he like wicked wings.

"Oh, that. Well I didn't want to deprive you of a happy reunion." Hook smirked as he arched his neck around to try and catch glimpse of her predatory figure.

"Well it's your lucky day." She hissed near his ear. "She and I have made amends…" Regina moved to his front, their faces bone chillingly close.

"And you called me in here to thank me? How sweet." He threw at her smirking once more.

"Not. So. Fast," She paused, taking a step back. "You still disobeyed me," She put a finger up as if to scold a child. "…and for that you must be punished."

Swiftly Regina plunged her hand into Hooks chest and with a crippling cry he watched his heart leave his body. He felt and light, happy feeling leave his soul, he'd never felt so hollow, lost and purposeless.

"What are you doing?!" He called with a new, heightened sense of fear, at Regina who walked over to the mantel placing his heart in a wooden box; Cora watching without protest all the while. Hook shot her a pleading look, but only found cold, pitiless darkness in her gaze.

"I need a favor Hook, and this time I'm providing you with a more… powerful incentive. If you do as I ask I will return your heart to you."

Hook breathed raggedly, as he gave his unwilling consent. He was an obedient dog at the hands of an immoral master. "Tell me what it is I must do."

"Bloody hell" Hook pulled the telescope away from his eye and pushed the scope down with a click. He placed the tool in his leather pocket and gazed upon the stone tower where his treasures lie asleep. Glancing around he saw what looked to be dwarfs guarding the castle. Furrowing his brow he contemplated what would possess the king and queen to elect incompetent dwarfs to protect the castle, but he shook the thought and, decided to count it as a blessing for he would have a simple time getting past them. Hook pulled up his scarf to cover the majority of his face as he prepared to go to work.

Next, he shot his horse a quick look to insure it would stay put before he rolled around the main wall and into the gardens. Sneaking past the fountains and stonework of the palace grounds it wasn't long before he reached the wall that lead up to the Nursery. Hook took another glance around before starting his ascend. He then placed his hand into a gap in the stones followed by his foot over and over, higher and higher, until he reached the turret balcony. He rolled over the edge to the glass doors. Glancing through the glass he slipped his hook through the opening between the two pains and unlocked the latch that held them secure.

With ease Hook slipped into the nursery moving swiftly, the curtains flowing in the night brezze after him as he rushed to the wooden doors across the room. Upon reaching the doors he slipped a small rope out of his pocket into the loops of the brass handles, to barricade them tight so he would not be interrupted. Slowly and gracefully he approached an elaborate wooden crib.

Briefly, he appreciated the fine glass work of the unicorn mobile that danced above the child's head and they way it threw the starlight it caught from the window around the room in little flares. Then, he glanced down at a sleeping girl before his mouth laid a gap in awe. The little princess was wrapped in a white blanket, but it didn't cover the small golden locks that had already begun to flow from her precious head. Her tiny eyelashes were full and her lips were pursed in sleep. She held the beauty of her mother's delicate fair skin and red lips, yet the essence of strength and regal spirit her father possessed. Hook looked at her for some time before an approaching noise snapped him out of his trance.

"My apologies princess. I would not do this if there were any other way." He whispered gently, ruefully.

Hook removed his shawl and with his mouth tied it securely to his shoulder like a sling so he could place the princess protectively inside. When done, swiftly, but surely he reached down into the crib using his hand to support the girls head and his hook to gently bring up the rest of her weight; which wasn't much. He then gently placed her in the makeshift carrier. She didn't stir.

Suddenly, the doors shuttered, the princess awoke and began to cry in fear. Hook heard muffled shouting voices through the wall.

"The doors are locked!"

"Someone is in there with the princess!"

"Alert the king and queen!"

"Knock down the doors!"

The doors were pounded on and the rope Hook had used to tie the doors shut loosened ever so slightly. He glanced at the doors, then to the crying infant, lastly to the balcony which he rushed towards in order to escape. Bells of alert started tolling and Hook could see castle servants rushing around the grounds lighting torches and lanterns.

With his hand he supported the princess's head and with his Hook he dug into a crevice in the stone wall. He lifted himself off the balcony and with that he was able to slide down to the ground swiftly, the sparks that flew as he scrapped stone with his hook lit the night dimly. When he reached the ground he removed his hook from the stone and spun to see three castle guards. One of them tall curly haired with a roguish look like a huntsman, the other two were simple dwarfs. Hook drew his sword the tall guard drew his bow and the dwarfs raised the pick-axes.

"Easy boy's we don't want to harm the princess." Warned the Huntsman.

"This missy'll be fine, but this rat won't be when I'm through with him."

The Huntsman launched an arrow which Hook rolled to avoid, careful not to squish a complaining princess. The dwarfs were on him quick hook defended himself with his sword and hook as another arrow whizzed past his ear. With all the power he could muster Hook kicked out hitting a dwarf and watching him crumple on the ground, more arrows rushed past him, but by some magic Hook avoided them. He was able to slip out of reach of the other dwarf and turned into a sprint for the back garden wall leading away to the forest.

Hook sheathed his sword and jumped over the hedges that blocked his way back to his horse. Worriedly watching the princess and his thoughts lingering on where he was going occupied so much of his brain he didn't see the armed king in his path until he was right in front of his nose.
