"I AM THE RIGHTFUL OWNER OF THIS SHIP!" called a feminine voice from above us. "MY NAME IS BECCI JONES. I AM THE ELDEST DAUGHTER OF CAPTAIN KILLIAN JONES." Our sister was promised the Jolly Roger since birth.
Maybe I should introduce us before continuing. Becci was our older sister. She was fearless and a lover of adventure, just like our father, before he disappeared.
Aimee is the middle child. She was a day younger than Becci. Aimee was fearful but she hated getting her hands dirty. Myself however, I am Saphira. I'm not a daughter of Killian Jones but I'm the daughter of his estranged lover, Milah. My real father is known as 'the dark one' in these parts of the realm. Actually, in all of the known and unknown realms. His real name is Rumpelstiltskin. He used to be a kind and gentle man. My brother, Baelfire, was also a gentle and loving boy, but he ran before I was born .You see, I was born after my father became the dark one. Because he came to possess magic, I did too. I wasn't the prettiest. I wore glasses and almost lived in Jeans and baggy t-shirts.
After the death of my mother and after my father ran, I was left to Killian who raised me from a baby of 1 month until now. He taught me how to sail a ship although he left the majority of the lessons for Becci. Aimee was interested in my magic and tried to help me to control it.
At this moment in time, Becci had just got full ownership of the Jolly Roger and also full command of the ship's crew...
"Although I have full command of the ship's crew, I want you two to be my main men." said Becci after coming down after her speech.
"Are you sure? I mean, I'm not even your real sister" I asked. She nodded and pulled me into a hug.
"You've been my sister since you were given to my father to be raised. I will never see you as anything less. Even with your special gift."
We never mentioned my magic in public. Because of my father, everyone is scared of magic. "All magic comes with a price" These are the words I hear much too often when I talk about magic to the villagers. It is a saying that belongs to my father as he used to get people to give him something in return. I'm not like that however. I believe in using magic to help others, not to bribe people of the things they love the most.
Back at the house, a few hours after Becci's 'Ship-giving' party, Becci, Aimee and I were practicing our talents. Father tells us to practise for at least 3 hours a night so that we know what we are doing in case we need to perform them in the future. Aimee's talent is being able to recall the entire magical wizards in the land. This is because she has been into magic ever since she was a young girl. Becci's talent is being able to have authority over a large group of people. This is unsurprising, considering she has just been given fathers ship. My talent, well, I have my magic. I'm also good at drawing, so instead of practicing my magic, I draw for 3 hours. In the room we practice our talents is at the very bottom of the house. It's a big space so we split the room in sections. We have all decorated our sections as we have see-through dividers which separate the spaces. Becci's area is decorated with pirate and sea themed things. She got me to paint the Jolly Roger in the larger side of the section. Aimee's section is decorated with magical beings i.e. Fairies and unicorns (She's only young) She wants a picture of me on her wall but I just keep refusing to have my picture taken or drawn. My, section however is just full of doodles that I do during the hours.
During this particular day, I sat in my area practicing my magic.
"I didn't know you could do that Saphira," gasped Becci as I let out a burst of light magic from my palm.
"N...neither did I. Why do I possess light magic when Rumple possesses dark magic?" Father had always told me that I would possess dark magic, just like my real father.
"Doesn't Ms Swan possess light magic? Maybe you could ask her," Aimee had a point. Ms Swan, also known as Emma, was a young woman who was known as the saviour of Storybrooke, the small town we live in, and she is also the sheriff...
