So, Charming and Snow are the king and queen of the Enchanted Forest. There was no curse with Regina. She was stripped of her powers by Rumple and exiled. Sooooo enjoy

Chapter 1

Emma POV

It was the last day of the voyage, and she could already feel the butterflies in her stomach at the thought of seeing her parents. She missed them when she went away. Normally her parents would never have let her go on such a long trip, but she and her best friend Elsa had convinced them on her visit during the latest ball. Reluctantly, they agreed to let her stay in Arendelle for a few weeks.

Standing on the bow of one of the finest ships in her parents' navy, Emma stood and sang…

"Pull away, me lads o' the Cardiff Rose! And hoist the Jolly Roger", at the end of her favorite verse, and arm came out and grabbed her, silencing her song. She was scared until she saw that it was Grumpy.

"Sister, what are you singing about pirates for? We're far out into the sea and a way away from the safety of the palace, and its bad luck to be singing about pirates." He glanced around the ship cautiously, as if just saying the word pirates would summon them.

"Oh Grumpy, you're starting to sound like you're afraid. We couldn't be any safer, and it's only a song. I like pirates and happen to think they are fascinating. They can do whatever they want whenever they want. They don't have any chores like cleaning their rooms. They wouldn't have had to beg to go see their best friend, they would just do it! Doesn't that sound amazing?" she sighed and looked ahead into the fog. Sometimes being a princess was so boring.

"Grumpy, don't scare the child."

She turned around and saw Graham walking towards them. He looked at her and smiled.

"Hi Graham. Don't worry, he didn't scare me." Graham was one of her moms' best friends. He risked his life for her when Regina was queen by sparing Snows life, in return, Regina ripped his heart out. When Snow took back the kingdom, she made sure that it was returned to him.

She turned away and began walking along the side of the ship, singing to herself this time, when she thought she saw something. Looking closer she saw that there was a young boy floating by on a chunk of ship.

"Graham! There's someone in the water!" she shouted as loud as she could. He ran over to her and saw where she was pointing.

"Man overboard! Get him!" he ordered. At once the men of the ship began their work to get the young boy to the safety of the ship. She was pulled back by one of the dwarves so she wouldn't be in the way of the rescue.

Once he was aboard the ship and they knew he was alive he was placed into her care, "Look after him until we reach the palace, we should be there by nightfall." Graham told her.

When the crew had cleared and she could see him clearly for the first time she saw that he was around her age, maybe a little older. She sat down next to him and went to brush his jet black hair out of his eyes when she noticed they were open. They were the brightest blue she had ever seen. He was studying her the same way she was studying him when she finally came to her senses, "What's your name? I'm Emma."

"My name is Killian. Killian Jones." His voice was raspy and he strained to speak. It sounded like he had swallowed a bit of sea water.

"Killian, you're safe now. We found you. Do you remember anything?"

"My brother…. His ship..." he said before losing consciousness. Looking up from Killian, she noticed Graham helping others get into a row boat. Sparing him one last glance she got up and walked to the rail and saw what they were going to inspect. What was left of a magnificent ship was engulfed in flames.

A glint of silver caught her eye on the deck. She bent to pick it up and saw a skull and mark like an X carved into it. On the back was the symbol for the ocean.

Killian Jones was a survivor of a pirate ship.
