Twisted roots.

As soon as Jolly Roger hot the shore of Storybrook, Emma got off the ship, she could see people running towards them all, she could care less about it all, she was home, safe, and with Henry, and no one else's blood spilled. Of course they were forced to drag the psychopathic Pan along, but she didn't give a damn about it now, all she wanted was long hot bath, cocoa with cinnamon. She turned to the people who'd arrived with her, hugging Henry tightly "we're home, and we're safe"
the young boy nodded smiling brightly like he always did " yes we are, operation Henry is finished?"
Emma nodded, and let go of Henry when Running Ruby crashed into her "ouh GOD EMMMA, YOU'RE BACK AND ALIVE" she rambled fast and loudly
Emma frowned looking at Ruby "Ruby? What's with the rush?" she asked seen already how nervous and worried she was.
"umm well we have a bit of changes here in town"
"what do you mean by that?" Snow asked while getting off the ship.
" let's just say, Blue fairy and Belle, both, did some magic…"|
"what kind of magic?" Rumple asked getting off the ship and dragging well tied up Pan with himself.
"umm.. How about we'll explain it all tonight at Granny's okay?" Ruby said nervously.
Emma frowned and puled Ruby aside "what is actually going on?"
"they accidentally brought someone back from dead, nothing evil though, but still, it's a bit umm confusing, and all"
"who?!"
"I... I can't tell"
Emma gave Ruby a sharp look "Ruby…"
but before Ruby could have responded Hook had stood by them "Emma?"
Emma excuses herself to Ruby turning her full attention to the pirate "yes Jones?"
"Where can I get a map of this world?" he asks.
"Why do you want a map?" she asked confused, looking directly at him.
" to explore the seas of here, find some treasures" he says rather sadly, but Emma blames it on her imagination.
"Piracy is very illegal here Jones, you'd end up in more trouble, than being chained to bed"
Hook chuckles a little at the reminder of their little chain tradition "and still what would I do around here, I'd die out of boredom and ideas"
"I'm sure we can find something interesting for you to do" she says, not wanting him to leave, they've grown very close during Neverland, though both would never admit it.
"Well Swan, if you'll ask me nicely I might be staying" he teased her a little giving her his famous, and by her opinion, already annoying smirk.
Emma gave him a look and just pushed him on down the street following the rest of people who were heading towards the center of the town "c'mon pirate"
She took Hook to the Granny's and got a room for him, telling him to clean himself up. Surprisingly he didn't make any nasty or teasing comments about it.
After that Emma returned to her won apartment, hoping that the rest of her family would have already finished with taking showers and eating so she could have the bathroom, all to herself.

Once Hook was done with, what Emma had called – cleaning up - he decided to leave the boring room and see what this new world was offering, after all, during his last visit, he hadn't got much chance to explore it all. He exited his room, and came face to face with another man, Hook remembered his face from somewhere, bout couldn't exactly recall from where, but he knew very well it wasn't from this land. Obviously the man recognized Hook as well. "You're Hook, right?" he said with heavy Irish accent.
Hook nodded with a frown "that would be me, but who are you?"
"Graham… though I think we met by me, being called the Huntsman"
then Hook remembered meeting the man at the palace of Evil Queen, and they both leaded downstairs, to the dinner, having a pleasant chat about past, and things that have changed.
"I'm somehow, thankful to Regina, for this curse" Graham, said taking a sip of his whiskey.
"What do you mean by that mate?" Hook asked leaning back in his chair.
"If not the curse, I wouldn't have ended up here, and would have never met the only woman that makes me feel anything," he said smiling to himself.
Hook smiled back to his old friend" if to think about it, I can't help but agree with you, when Milah passed away, I though I'd never fall for a woman ever again, and then, one day, she knocked me out with a compass and chained me to bed" he said with a smirk playing on his lips.
Graham laughed softly "sound like you've found the right woman for yourself then, after all it's not everyday, girl knocks you with compass"
Hook and Graham, both shared a laugh not even knowing that they had their eyes set out both for the same lass.
