ONCE UPON A TIME & SECRET OF MOONACRE X-OVER
Note: this takes place like 2 or 3 months after the end of Secret of Moonacre. The characters are the same age they were in the movie; and the characters from OUAP are the same age they are in the show. Does anyone know how old Captain Hook is?
Maria's POV
I sighed. Robin was supposed to meet me here a half hour ago. I looked around the forest one last time and as I got up to leave a someone grabbed me.
"Move and die," said a familiar voice. I spun around and playfully hit him. "Robin De Noir don't ever do that again," I said. He just laughed, but I chose to ignore it. I was more curious about why he was so late. "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for over 20 minutes." His face immediately darkened. "I've been…preoccupied at the castle. Sorry." I stared at him. "Preoccupied? How?" "I just have okay? That curse wasn't the only part of my life." This just prodded my curiosity further. "Oohh. I see. Does Mr. De Noir have a lady friend?" He turned to look at me and the corner of his mouth was turned up in a smile. "The few handfuls of ladies at the castle aren't really ladies at all. And I'm much to busy keeping you out of trouble to have a social life," he said teasingly. I faked a gasp. "Keeping me out of trouble? You're the bandit." "Yes but you're the one who jumps off cliffs and is convinced the fate of the world rests on her shoulders." "Well it did," I said, crossing my arms.
"Wait…are you changing the subject?" I asked him. "I would never Princess." I smiled at his nickname for me, but wasn't convinced. "I know when you're lying," I said. He narrowed his eyes at me. "You know they say curiosity killed the cat." "But satisfaction brought it back," I said innocently, smiling. He frowned at my answer then sighed. "Maria, there's just some things you're going to have to learn to accept. Like I'm not going to tell you what I was doing." "Well that's not suspicious at all." I pointed out. "Shouldn't you be getting back?" he asked. It was my turn to sigh. "Yes. If you weren't so late-" "Don't start with me Princess. I said I was sorry." I looked up at him; he was two years older then me, so he was some inches taller then me. He looked sincere, so I gave in. "Alright Robin. Just don't be late again." "I'll try Princess," he said with a wink as he watched me untie Periwinkle and get on her. "Goodbye Robin. And when shall I see you again?" he thought for a moment then said, "Tomorrow. Same spot, same time. And I'll try not to be late." We always met at this spot. It was the tree with massive roots where inside we found the moon pearls. "Very well." I said, smiling. "Goodbye Princess," he said with a bow as I galloped away from him and out of the woods.
Robin's POV
I felt bad about being late and not telling her, but I just wasn't ready. I don't know why I was keeping it from her; well, him. I just didn't want her to meet my brother. He had disappeared for almost two years, and then just sends father a letter saying he's coming back this weekend. It sounded strange, and I knew he was up to something. My brother was a conman, sneaky and conniving. He'd know what he wants and he'd know how to get it. And he had that certain charm that the ladies always found irresistible. Sometimes at first some would be rebellious, but it always ended the same; the naïve girls being broken-hearted. Once he had charmed a girl I had liked, and I was still a little mad at him for it. I just didn't want Maria to fall under his spell. But he was older then me, in his 20's I think (I hadn't seen him for so long), so it's not like I had anything to worry about…right? Then again Maria was a 13/14 year old girl, and even the girls that age that had met my brother had developed a small crush at the least.
I wonder if Loveday knew our dear brother was returning. Probably not since she has been so busy finishing planning her wedding (which was to take place in about two weeks), and only the people at the De Noir castle knew. And my father has been keeping everyone busy preparing for his son's arrival (he always was father's favorite) that no one would've even had time to go to the Merryweather Mansion to tell her (father had kept me super busy as well, hence the reason I was late). I knew that as soon as Loveday found out, the whole mansion would too. Including Maria. Then they'd all come over here to visit him…I sighed as I started walking back to the castle. I knew sooner or later Maria would know about him, but I was hoping for later. It was then I decided: no. I won't tell her, not yet. Not until I had too. I wouldn't tell her about my brother. I wouldn't tell her about the
infamous "Captain" Killian James Hook.
DUHN DUHN DUHN! So Killian is Robin's brother…let it sink in…that's his full name right? Killian James Hook? I know his first name is Killian and his last is Hook but I'm pretty sure there was a "James" in there somewhere. Or is it Killian Jones & Captain James Hook is his alter ego? Anywho sorry it's kind of short but I'll update soon. R&R please! Thanks!
