I woke up with a terrible, terrible headache.
Must have been drinking a lot last night, I thought to myself as I rubbed my head and got up from my bed, just to scrunch up my eyebrows as I eyed the room I was in.
White walls, with two windows that showed... Trees? I was on land, not on seas.
"What the bloody hell?" I muttered.
Man, I must have been drunk outta my ass last night.

I got up from the bed and stared at myself from the mirror facing me, my eyebrows lifted real up now.
I had my hair all messed up, and I was wearing my regular clothes: my pirate skirt, shirt and boots. But they were broken, ripped apart from everywhere around.
"Jeez, did I crawl up from hell?" I asked myself, taking a turn and another in front of the glass reflection of myself.
Finally, I just let out a groan and started to walk around the room, trying to find a clue of the place I was in.
"I need to find a lake to wash myself in..." I muttered, opening a door that lead me to a room made of white tiles. I lifted my eyebrows and stepped in, finding this weird silver thing that had two buttons in it. Other red, other blue.
I pressed the blue one, and started screaming, as suddenly there was cold water pouring all over me. Quickly I stepped out from under it, and let my gaze go up and down on the water.
"Could it be..." I whispered, sticking a finger under the waterfall. "The sea is coming from... my roof?"
I started to laugh.
"Magnificent!"

Once I'd gotten out of the magical sea in my house, I opened a huge white cabinet, which turned out to be a clothe cabinet.
"What in Kraken's name is this?" I groaned, staring at the clothes. It had... All my dresses were gone. All the skirts I had, shoes... Everything was gone. Instead, there was this weird clothing from the future.
"Interesting..." I muttered, taking out a men's shirt, it appeared, but somehow it was made to look good on my body. I grabbed a pair of... men's pants as well, but they were tight on me, which was extremely weird. With shoes, I could have cried from happiness when I realized that I had one hell of a high heel collection, thank Godness.
"Hello, old-new friends." I said.

After putting on some red lipstick and jewelry, and my hair up on a ponytail, I made my way outside. I frowned as I saw people around me, not recognizing any of them though.
"Again... Where the hell am I?" I mumbled, glancing around myself.
"Hey, no one told you that red was my color?"
I turned around in a heartbeat, seeing a long, slim girl with brown hair going down all the way to her navel which was exposed, and I smirked back up at her.
"Must have missed that memo." I said, and she smiled at me.
"I'm Ruby. I mean... Red." She said, and I cocked an eyebrow.
"Red...?"
"...Riding Hood?" She asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "You're not from the Enchanted Forest, are you?"
I let out a small laugh.
"Hells no. I come from Tortuga, and now I seem to trapped in... in..."
"Storybrooke." She said.
I cocked a brow.
"Come again?"
She frowned at me.
"Storybrooke— First timer?" She asked.
"Never been here before, if that's what ya mean." I mumbled, flinching as a young boy suddenly drove past me with what seemed to be a bike of some kind.
She nodded, amused. "That exactly."
We had a long staring contest, before I cleared my throat.
"You know where I could get some rum?" I asked.
"Follow me." She smirked, and as she turned around, I took my steps right after her.

"By a curse?" I asked, staring at Ruby with my mouth open and brows furrowed, my fingers wrapped tight around the rum glass.
She nodded, causing me to throw the rest of the liquor down my throat in one gulp.
"Well, could someone find the bitch who came up with this thing because I'd really much like to get back on my Pearl." I groaned, glancing out of the window. Still not used to being on this much land.
"Pearl?" Ruby asked, and I moved my gaze to her.
"Aye."
She frowned at me, cocking her head to the side a little.
"Who exactly were you back in our la— I mean, back in your land."
"Jack."
"But you're a girl."
I sighed.
"Jacqualine, but Jack around friends. Consider yourself one."
She smiled at me. "A pretty name, Jacqualine. But... Pearl?"
"My ship. I wonder if he made it here with me," I said.
"You're a pirate," She said, starting to smirk, and I glanced at her from under my eyebrows, pouring more liquor to my cup.
"Aye, love." I said, gulping it.
"That is so cool. I've always been interested in your kind," She said, and I cocked a brow, leaning to my hand.
"Really?" I asked, and she nodded quickly and, twice, I think.
"You must have been in so many places, right?"
I lifted my gaze up for a while, to think, before moving it back to her.
"Well, yeah."
She was just about to say something, but I grabbed her wrist.
"Wait — who exactly is here?"
She frowned at me.
"Well... All the people from the Enchanted Forest."
"But why am I here?" I asked.
She shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe you just happened to cross oceans to our land?"
"Then that means my crew should be here too," I said, and her eyes lit up.
"Well... You should go find them, then." She said, and I nodded with a smile on my face, before getting up and dashing out of the restaurant, only to get my face smashed against a leather jacket.
"Am so sorry, love."
I was already getting ready to yell at him as his words blurted out of his mouth, and my eyes took about 0,5 seconds time to focus on his face until my mouth dropped.

"Hook?" I breathed out.

"Hello, m'lady." He smirked, starting to hug me, but I slapped his cheek so bad a couple walking past turned to glance at us.
"Probably deserved that," He muttered, rubbing his cheek.
I catched my breath.
"Sure as hell did," I breathed out. He was just staring at me, completely amused by me. As if we were in the middle of a funny joke. I just shook my head in disbelief, rushing away from him like the devil himself was after me. And it might as well could have been.
Why the hell was Hook in here? He couldn't be here — he didn't live in the damn forest, did he? He... He was supposed to be in Neverland! After Pan!
"And where the bloody hell is Gibbs when I need her..." I murmured, just then realizing that a bar I was about to walk past had the name 'PIRATE BAY' written on it.
I stormed in to the place, where there were clearly pirates playing guitar and another one the piano, lazy music. People were shouting over the tables, and there, in the corner, I saw my best friend, Gibbs drinking.
"That dumb rat," I groaned, walking over to her and grabbing the beer she was holding, throwing it straight to her shirt.
She lifted her gaze, ready to yell at me, but then gasped and let out a laugh.
"Jack! You old b—"
"Do you know what's going on?" I groaned, leaning to the table with both of my hands.
"Uh... No?" She said, and I pointed the waitress to come over to us so that I could grab a beer from the tray. I then quickly nodded, barely glancing at her, and she took off as I sat down opposite Gibbs.
"Apparently we're under a curse," I said, gulping my beer, and she cocked a brow.
"Cast by who?"
"You think I know?" I snapped at her, and she backed off lightly.
"Okay, okay, Cap. Calm down."
I lightly showed my teeth at her, before taking another deep gulp from my drink.
"And you know what else?" I asked, lighting up a cigarette.
"What is?" She asked, taking a cigarette as well, and I took a deep drag before leaning closer to her.
"Hook's in town."
Her eyes widened as she leaned further in her seat, blinking her eyes with long eyelashes, just as shocked as I was.
"Why, did'cha see him?" She asked, and I nodded.
"Bastard almost stuffed my nose in because of walking against me," I groaned, and she lifted her eyebrows.
"That all? Did y'all talk?" She asked, taking another drag.
"You think?" I asked, staring at her like she was stupid.
And then she just shrugged her shoulders, and I groaned, rolling my eyes and taking another drag.
"Isn't that a men's shirt you're wearing, by the way?" Gibbs asked, and I turned my gaze back to her.
"It is, yeah. And these... pants, too."
"Ah! Kind of like mine!" She said, stretching out her legs, to reveal pants just like mine, but only ripped.
"They're broken." I said bluntly.
"Yes, but they look nice, don't they?" She asked happily, and I stared at her legs for a while, before shrugging.
"How about the rest of the crew — they here?" I asked, and she nodded, whistling so that pretty much all the heads in the bar turned their gazes at us.
"Jack?" I heard all the familiar voices, and smirked at my crew, jokingly bowing down to them, and they started to cheer, before gathering up around us, all to ask the same question.
"Why are we here?"
