I do not own the right to the original series or the characters as they are fully inspired by the other characters and stories, except the storyline.
Chapter 1
A blur. Colours mingling into unrecognizable shapes. Distance sounds of moans. The feeling of cold soil on their chin, and the sore muscles screaming in their bodies could only mean one thing.
"Not again!" Regina's deep voice broke through the low buzzing noise of their surroundings. Emma got up on all four and slowly looked around before she let herself fall back, leaning up a tree.
"Where, the bloody hell, are we?" Killian asked, still moaning with pain.
"Is this the enchanted forest?" David looked around bewildered.
"What the hell happened?" Emma asked, closing her eyes.
"It can only be a spell, and I don't remember anything, which can only mean that it was mixed with forgetting potion", Regina answered with sigh.
"I am so sick of these damn curses and spells!" Emma cried.
"You and me both", Regina rose to her feet and looked around.
"I don't think this is the enchanted forest", David continued as if no one had spoken.
"What? Then where the hell are we?" Killian got up and pulled Emma up with his good hand.
"I've never seen this place before", Regina answered.
"Shh!" Killian stood still and listened for a while before he suddenly turned around, looking into the darkness of the wood. "It is cowardly to attack men while lurking darkness".
There was a moment of silence between them, only the buzzing noise of insect and nature giving sign life, before a brief chuckle broke through. The figure began to move toward them, "I have no plans to attack you, and if I did, you wouldn't see it coming, Darlin'."
It was a deep voice but there was no doubt that it came from a woman. A rather short woman and queer woman, that is. She emerged from behind the trees, dressed in dark brown trousers with a white shirt beneath the brown vest and brown leather booths that matched the tricorn hat. Her dark brown hair was tied in a wavy ponytail, falling over her shoulder, and her brown eyes were intensified by the black eyeliner but it suited her naturally brown skin.
"Who are you?" Killian asked, somewhat suspicious by her outfit.
"Ask nicely, and I might just tell you" She answered, leaning forward with smile.
"What do you want?" Emma asked.
"Well, I just wanted to see what the dark scary cloud dragged in, really"
"The cloud?" Regina echoed. "We were brought here by a curse?"
"It sure looked like it", the stranger answered observing the four with a grin.
"Where are we?"
"Somewhere in the middle of the Caribbean Sea"
"That is not possible?" Emma said, suddenly struck by the stranger before her.
"Well, it sure is, Darlin'. Welcome to the Rum Island"
"Sounds like my kind of place", Killian grinned to Emma.
Emma shook her head and asked, "What is your name?"
"See how polite she is", the stranger said, looking at Killian, before she answered, leaning forward in a rather unbalanced way. "My name is Jacqueline Sparrow, Darlin', but you can call me Jack"
