Chapter One
She swam as fast as she could. She was in shallow seas. Too shallow for her to get to safety. The pirates had spotted her and wanted her. She was a creature of magic. A net surrounded her and it was too late. She had been caught. She let out a scream. Not a human scream, it was an eerily non-human scream. The men on the ship groaned at the sound as they brought her on deck. She struggled as they dangled her above the ship's decking. She kept screaming as one man stepped forward. "Shut up, mermaid!" He shouted at her, his hands covering his ears. "Cut her down! She won't be able to escape."
She was free. "Let me go!" She screamed and tried to scramble to the edge of the ship. The sooner she was back in the water, the better. It was too late. The hot sun dried her off.
"Well well. I see it now." The man stepped towards her as she covered her naked body. "I see why you Neverland mermaids were so popular with the sailors. You can become human." He scoffed as he took off his long black coat and handed it to her, draping it over her shoulders. "What's your name girl?"
"Wendy." She whimpered in fear as he pulled her to his feet and pulled her into his cabin.
She had heard that he was in Storybrooke. She had to see him. It had been so long since she had seen him. She walked towards the docks, hoping to find his ship there. It wasn't there. She sighed heavily and turned back to land. "Hello Wendy." That voice spoke from behind her.
She turned around and saw him standing there. How did he get there? He looked exactly the same as he did when she last saw him. "Hello Killian." She took in his whole appearance. From his leather clad body to his hook on his left hand. "I heard you had come here."
He scoffed and shrugged a shoulder. "You look good, love. This world must be good for you."
"Not really. I'm alone. I have no friends. I only have my apartment and job." She took one step towards him. "Don't call me 'love' either. You lost that right a long time ago."
He laughed a little. "Listen. I never meant to go. You could get from world to world easier than I could."
"You know I was exiled from Neverland. From what I heard, you were there." She glared at him and folded her arms.
Killian stepped forward. "You could have come."
She spun around. "I couldn't!" She shouted at him and left him standing there alone. Why did she even go and look for him? She knew it would end in heartache.
"So, let me get this straight," He sat at his desk with his feet on the desk and watched her as she sat on the edge of his bed. He could tell this was new for her. "You are a mermaid, who can have legs once dry?"
"Yes." She nodded nervously. For days, she had been locked in his cabin. For days, he had been coming into the cabin and try and get her to tell the truth. Today was that day. "We're different to the mermaids you have met. They have to have magic cast on them to make them have legs. I'm descended from a union between a human and a merman. Which is why I can have legs."
"I see." He took his legs off the desk and stood up. "Well, that took a while for you to speak. I may even let you go one day."
She looked up at him with sad eyes. "Please. Let me go. My family will be worried for me." He had given her breeches and a shirt to wear. They didn't suit her but they looked good on her.
"I may do." He sighed heavily. "Originally I was going to sell you to the black market. A catch like you would bring me a lot of gold."
She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "I'm not worth a lot of money. My mother and father. But not me. I'm just a young mermaid."
He smiled and watched her as she stood up and walked over to him. "All mermaids are valuable. To the right buyer."
Wendy knelt in front of him. "Captain, please. I will do anything for you. Just let me go back to my family."
A million thoughts ran through his head. "I will think of something. Do one thing for me and I will let you go."
Her hands rested on his knees and she bent her head down, resting her forehead against her hands. "Thank you."
A/N: Just going to be a series of short chapters.
