Old Enemies 5x01

You know, as I look back on the past everything just seem so, well, ironic. This is even more ironic coming from the queen of irony herself. Actually I can pinpoint where it all started and where it ended. Sometimes I would think of that saying that villains don't get happy endings and I almost want to change who I am, but then again...where's the fun in that.

Killian and I were walking down a stretch on the beach. After the whole Elsa ordeal, I finally got over my trust issue, and we got together. I don't know why I put it if for so long. We stopped and sat down

"This is nice."

"Your right".

I grabbed his hand (he got his hand back not to long ago). I pulled my other hand to his face and started tracing his features. I paused at a small scar on the side of his face, it was kind of hard to see, but still there.

"Who did this to you."

He stiffen as if he was remembering something unpleasant.

"Love, it a very long story, I'm not sure you want to know"

I frowned, I hope I didn't hit a sore spot and ruin the date.

"Killian, tell me, I want to know"

He stopped for a second, and debated on weather or not to tell me.

"Ok, you win, if you must know, it was given by a woman named Elizabeth. I hope you never have to meet her, she is a dangerous, cold hearted, pirate that won't hesitate to kill either of us."

He stop talking and thought about something. His expression be came worried.

"Wait... If everyone was taken here, does that mean she here to? Love, call Regina, we can't have her roaming the town."

She couldn't be that bad, if we can beat Zelena, she shouldn't be an issue. I don't know why he's stressing so much.

"Come on, she can't be that bad. Not many people can top Zelena."

His tone was dead serious, and gripped my hand tighter.

"No love, Elizabeth's worse, much worse. She hates me, and if she comes after me, you'll get caught in the cross fire as well as anyone else in this town. "

Whoa, whoa, whoa, it hasn't be a week since the last issue, now we have to deal with a bloodthirsty pirate, that's worse that the wicked witch. I'm starting to really hate whoever it is. She is making Killian worry his ass off. What will a girl do to get a month off here. I sighed.

"Wait, let me get this straight, this Elizabeth hates you, and she stop at nothing to kill you because...?"

"Swan, listen to me, I don't even know myself why she hates me, but she is a pirate, even more well know than me. You don't become famous by letting people go. You get famous by havering no mercy, and being ruthless. Do you know how many crew members she's killed? The horrible things that she done and that she can do? No you don't, piracy is my forte, not yours. So please love, call Regina and let me get this sorted out, ok?"

Killian stood up, and ran his hand through his hair, looking frustrated. I sighed. He wasn't giving up on this, I might as well call Regina. I fished my phone out of my pocket and dialed her number. When she picked up I could barely say hello becaue Killian snatched the phone from me.

"Regina this is Killian, I need to ask you a very important question. "

I took my phone back and put her on speakerphone.

"What do you want, pirate?"

"Do you know a woman named Elizabeth Burns?"

Regina went silent, and didn't speak for about a minute.

"Meet me at my office. I want to discuss this face to face, bring Emma. Something this big does not qualify for a simple phone call." she said sharply.

Then she hung up.

"Well, we might as well go. "

I said as I put my phone away. Seriously. Whoever this is, she better stay away, this town has had enough issues. Not to mention the bloodthirsty lunatics. That a different category.

"Aye, this is not to be taken lightly." He stated.

We made the trek to Regina's office in little time. Along the way, Killian told me about some of his time as a navel officer, in exchange, I told him about my years in the foster system.

By the time we reached her office I had nearly forgotten the whole Elizabeth problem. As we approached the doors to the office, the doors flew open, via magic.

"Sit, and please do try to refrain from 'doing that whole I love you yearning look, I couldn't spend a day without you, that annoys me"

I glared at her. Luckily, Killian jumped right in with questions.

"Is she here yes or no?" He demanded.

"Yes, but before you say anything, she, well isn't like you or me, she to say, is still cursed. "

What? That made no sense I broke the curse, and so did she. That has no reasoning.

As if voicing my thoughts, Killian asked the same question.

Regina sat curtly at her desk and made an exaggerated sigh.

"As you very we know, Captain Burns is a major threat, so I made her curse different than the rest. The only way for her to wake up is to have her only true love kiss her, not just any True love kiss. She goes by Beth Smith here, shes a book worm who sticks with her friends who are her former crew mates. They are cursed like her, but it if so happened that she broke the curse, they would all wake up as well. They have some link that makes little sense. The Captain is very different here which I don't get because the curse reflects who you are in the new life. In this world she can't even do a handstand. She's not loud, or brutal, or even a criminal. She's just an average plain person. Is that what you wanted to know?"

"Thank god" He paused "So she's not a threat?" Killian said hesitatingly.

"Well… " she trailed off.

"What do you mean" he demanded.

And there's the catch. Of course, nothing is ever taken care of, something's always wrong. Great, perfect.

"She's been different ever since we have been back. More loud, cursing, smarter, slightly hostile. All signs of her former life coming back."

"Wonderful. Because that's what this town needs, a former pirate, that is almost woken up from a curse; and by how bad you make her up to be; will be pissed as hell for cursing her and will wreck havoc on the whole town. Great."

I put my hand on the bridge of my nose. I sighed loudly. I wonder how Killian feels. Here's an old enemy, that's from his past that. Come straight back, and haunts him.

"Where is she?" Killian demanded.

Regina replied in a flat tone. "Well if you so obsessed with her, why don't you just go visit her? You can see for you self that she's not a threat. I made sure of that."

He stopped to see if we should or shouldn't. About 30 seconds later he grabbed his leather jacket ( he's wearing modern clothes now) and walked out the door. He turned and asked "You coming or not?"

We pilled into our perspective cars, and we followed Regina to the edge of town, and down a road, where about two dozen houses stood. They were small, one stories that looked almost abandoned. I look out Killian's window to see a very small high school about the size of a small elementary. How come I've never seen it? That's weird. Although most of the houses looked the same, one stood out. It was three stories, you could see a small stable looking place in the back. The mail box was white with the words 'the smith's place' written in fancy black print. The roofing was different. As well as the greenery, everyone else's was simple with about a single tree. While this house had huge hedges, ivy growing on the wall, and look almost like a castle.

Regina pulled into the castle houses driveway, while I had to park on the street. As we got out, Regina was already heading for the front door. The door was massive, it was two oak panels taller than me. It had old fashion metal working, that looked like it didn't belong in this century. I used the metal knocked that was about the size of my hand to let who ever was in there know we were here. The door swung open. A regal lady about my size ( who had excellent posture ) was standing in the door frame. She wore fancy clothes like she was the queen of something. Her tone was sharp and precise. "You haven't been here since we came back, why come now?" She scanned us from up to down and wrinkled her nose as if she ate something unpleasant. She seemed between slightly amused and iterated.

"Good to see you to Kaaren."

"It's Amelia, I went to the Blue Fairy after the little stunt you pulled before we were brought back." She trailed off looking at her nails. "But that's not by business is it?"

She also clearly had some resentment towards Regina, but it wasn't wholeheartedly.

"Umm I don't mean to pry, but does a girl named Beth live here?" I tried to be casual about it, and not sound completely awkward.

"You can come in, Beth's still sleeping."

I glanced at the wrist watch Killian gave me.

I looked at her strangely.

"It's almost one."

She raked her eyes over my body as if determining if I am worthy to have a conversation with, let alone say a few words.

"She does that, but-"

All the sudden a loud"No" screamed through the air. I jumped.

Amelia didn't even flinch like it was the normal daily routine.

"Oh" she said offhandedly. "That's normal as well, it's either that or 'I'll get you back.' Or possibly the occasional 'F*** You'. It's normal. Beth had nightmares. Or should I say memories..."

Amelia looked at Killian's horrified face and laughed.

I gripped his hand, while she lead is down a hallway that looked like it walked out of 5th century England. There was even a fake suit of armor in the corner. We came to a door, it had a bunch of book related stuff like posters, stickers, and random stuff like that.

"I'll let you. Umm, investigate. " she walked off to to do gods knows what. Before we went in I looked at Regina.

"That was.…"

"Strange." Killian finished for me.

I gingerly opened the door, trying no to wake anyone up. The room was big, with a king sized bed, the walls littered with posters, and a single life sized cut out staring at me in the corner. There was a full length mirror, a pole that held clothes beside the door frame. I could see a girl laying down in the bed. She slept on her covers, and it appears she fell asleep in her clothes because she still had on her jeans and orange tee shirt. Above her bed was four selfs, all filled with books of every genre. Beth has dark brown hair, but what I didn't expect was how scrawny she was. It looked as if she was made of twigs. Killian was squeezing my hand like he was trying not to kill her.

"She looks so...different."

"What does she normally look like?"

His features pulled in like it did when he was mad. His tone was as thin as ice.

"Her hair was blood red at the bottom, she had triple of the muscle she has now. Thick eyeliner, red lips, and a navy blue streak in her hair. She looks younger now, Elizabeth usually looked 19, not 14. I'm pretty sure she was taller in our realm. She just looks now... Almost like an innocent person, it bugs me. I wouldn't feel guilty if she didn't look like she hasn't done anything wrong. "

I tried to picture it, but I couldn't. That's when I noticed the other girl lying down next to her. She had a red sweat shirt that said NO in white lettering. Mystery girl had light brown hair, it was curly. On the night stand there was a phone with a black case that read ' you can't sit with us' in white. I haven't seen that movie in years. Then I regained my composure, she was the enemy. The reason I can't enjoy life. It irritated me. Regina staked over to Beth's beside, but as soon as she reached her destination, she bolted straight up with her hand out stretched and scream NO! Regina jumped. Killian was ready to defend, but her body collapsed back on the bed, and made it look like nothing happened. Mystery girl didn't even stir.

"I'm going to see what is making her scream. We could use what ever she's afraid of against her if, gods forbid, she ever broke the curse." Regina waved her hand over her head and a little bubble appeared. In the small window into her dream you could faintly see a staff with an orb on it. Then some loud maniacal laughter was heard as she swore like a pirate. (Maybe because she was one).

Apparently she could come up with some pretty colorful language. Killian whistled.

"Damn, I knew she could swear, but not that bad. "

Out of nowhere, Beth's phone came alive and played Die Young by Ke$ha. I flicked my hand and we were all invisible. I had been practicing magic in most of my free time with Elsa and Regina. Beth got up and stretched. Mystery girl woke up as well.

"Morning Beth"

"Good morning"

Her voice was high pitched, but you could faintly hear Killian suck in his breath.

"Staci, how late did we stay up?"

Staci shrugged.

"I honestly don't know, I fell asleep around Breaking Dawn part one, what about you?"

Staci has green eyes that dart around constantly, while Beth's hazel eyes were oblivious.

The song changed to Run This Town who I believe is by Rihanna and JAY Z. I can't seem to remember. Beth and Staci got up and started singing and dancing to it.

"WHO IS GONNA RUN THIS TOWN TONIGHT?!" They screamed together. They collapsed on the bed laughing. The way they had a seemingly perfect life sorta made me jealous. I never had that, I was in the system counting the days till I turned 18, not hanging out with my best friend and laughing. Killian's hand found mine and I squeezed it. I really hate how I was such an open book to him. He can't even see me and he knows my thought process, and my jealousy all the while being invisible! It confronted me as well as made me nervous.

Amelia walk in the door.

"Morning girls. "

"Hey mom."

"Who wants breakfast?"

They nodded and followed her out the room. As soon as they were out of ear shot, I made us visible again. Killian shuttered.

"Her voice" Regina said. "It's so..."

"High" Killian finished for her.

"So what's the deal? Are Amelia and Beth related? I know Amelia's awake, but she seems strange and regal. "

Regina rolled her eyes.

"Queen Amelia. "She corrected.

"She was the queen of the Southern Isles, the same place Hans was born. I guess that's his mom. "

Hans was an issue but nothing we couldn't handle. Just a lot of confusion and manipulation, he's currently in a cell at the station with David watching him.

"Then why...?" I trialled off.

"Elizabeth came to me before the curse, and gave me some tips, and a request. She wanted to be close to her in this realm. I don't know why, but I didn't dare disagree. She also said to make me innocent again. Again very strange. That's the thing about ️Captain Burns. You can't predict her. "

Killian nodded agreeing. We heard the girls coming down the hall so Regina proofed us to her office. I couldn't stop thinking about that song that played.

Who's gonna run this town tonight, I shook of my feeling of uneasiness, I had to focus.

A LONG TIME AGO

ENCHANTED FOREST

I paced the deck floor, my red cloak flowing int the wind behind me. We hadn't had much action lately.

"Look out! Coming through!" My first mate Anastasia yelled as she came swinging down on a rope from the crows nest. Her light brown, curly hair flowing behind her.

" Captain, ship approaching. "

I grabbed of to the nearest net, and partially hung of the side of my ship The Calypso's Slave. I looked in the distance.

"What ship? Anyone we know. Because I would hate toblow a hole in Sparrow's ship."

We both laughed. Jack Sparrow was a friend of mine. Although he pirated the Caribbean, we still see each other every so often.

"No, it's a new ship" she said after recovering for laughing.

"Something like The Jolly Rodger. I'm pretty sure there pirates judging from there ship."

I put on a smirk.

"Raise the flag! Ladies prepare to raid. " I shouted.

"Let's show these newbies what we got!"

Everyone was rushing around. Acia was running around preping the cannons. Trentice was handing out swords. I was still hanging on the ropes, I knew we had to make an impression. As the other vessel came closer and closer, my raid team got over excited. We haven't had a new ship to raid in 2 years. The ship pulled directly across from us. A man in lots of black leather appeared.

"I'm Captain Jones, where's your Captain, afraid?"

His accent was slightly annoying me. I smiled.

"Your looking at her"

He laughs. I narrowed my eyes. He'll learn soon.

"You?"

"Me" this new guy was pissing me off.

"You clearly don't realize who I am. If you did you'd be a lot more...well afraid."

"You didn't tell me your name." He asked.

"That's for me to know and for you to figure out."

The smille was wiped off his face. I nodded to my raid team. They went below deck, but before they were out of eye sight, I saw a cloud of red smoke come from below. Take as much as you want, I thought. I kept talking gloating and let him say whatever the hell he wanted to say for about five minutes. I saw red smoke from below deck, and I knew it was time. I nodded to my crew members, it was time to go.

"You know" I looked at my nails bored.

"Most people would know when they've been robbed, but you sir, just keep talking"

He shouted for his men to check where he hid the treasure. He won't find much left.

"YOU" He screamed.

"I told you, I get the respect I want. Next time I won't be so nice." I smiled a psychotic grin. I saluted him as we sailed away. I went below deck to see what the raid team brought back. There was some gold and silver. There was a red gemstone necklace that reminded me me of a past life...best not to remember bad times. I gripped the table as a flashback hit me. But it wasn't my flash back.

It was of a lieutenant next to someone dieing. Another flash, this time he turned his crew into pirates, and more scenes of pirating.

I blacked out.

I saw various encounters of him and I. Most of them weren't pleasant. But then I saw how big of a role he played in the future. This one has to say alive.

I resurfaced.

Seeing past, present and future isn't very fun.

I got to my knees, when my crew helped me up. These girls were my family.

"Let me guess, future and past?" Acia asked.

"Bingo"

She frowned looking confused.

"Future joke?" She questioned.

I nodded. It's kinda hard to remember they all didn't get all the things I did. You could call it the family gift. Out of the 13 older brothers I had, I was the one to get it. Not fair if you ask me. I remember the first time. It invoked a lot of screaming. It's not a very nice gift to have when majority of the things includes hearts gitting ripped out of their chest, dieing in gruesome ways, no happy endings. See, I have it bad. It the undecided future. I see all the paths you could take. I see it. It's enough to drive anyone mad. I've been around for almost a hundred years, and I'm not sure why I haven gone insane. Maybe I am. I shrug. And if what the future holds is true, well everyone's screwed.
