Chapter 1
The sun is beginning to rise in Wonderland. Will Scarlet opens his eyes with great difficulty before standing up. Anastasia remains asleep in the bed, and Will smiles down at his sleeping wife. The Knave of Hearts heads for the balcony and finds none other than Cyrus and Alice looking at the sunrise.
"I love looking at the morning sky. All of the colors are so pretty," Alice happily sighs as she places her head on Cyrus's chest.
"The sky isn't nearly as pretty as you," Cyrus tells his wife as he kisses the top of her head.
"How nauseatingly romantic," Will jokes as he joins his friends on the castle's balcony.
"Will!" Alice and Cyrus playfully scold.
"What? Last time I checked you two are standing on my balcony," Will smiles.
As he comes to look out the balcony to survey his realm, he notices an unwelcome ship in the distance.
"Oh, no, not pirates," the Knave of Hearts groans.
Alice sees what Will is looking at.
"I think it'd be rather exciting to meet a pirate," Alice tells her friend and husband.
"Think again," Cyrus returns.
"Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them," Will adds.
"Surely all pirates aren't that bad," Alice reasons.
"If there's such a pirate, I've never met one," Will says.
"I don't think I've ever met a pirate," Anastasia remarks as she joins her husband and friends.
"Be glad you haven't," Cyrus remarks.
"Well, I don't know about you, boys, but Alice and I are going to go check out that ship," Anastasia smiles.
"If you think I'm going to let you go alone, you're crazy," Will chuckles as he puts his sword in its sheath.
"Well, then come with us," Alice smiles.
"That's what I'm doing, Alice. Why else would I have my sword attached to my hip?" Will grins.
"I'm staying here. I'm not going to take a chance and be captured by pirates," Cyrus tells the group.
"Suit yourself, mate," the Knave of Hearts says while walking down the spiral staircase.
The three friends walk along the island towards the ocean. The pirate ship is now exceedingly close, and Will holds up his hand, which stops Alice and Anastasia dead in their tracks.
"What is it, Will?" Anastasia asks in concern.
"It's too quiet. Generally, you can hear a pirate crew from a few miles away," Will says as he swallows uneasily.
He moves forward slowly and throws back the foliage. There is no one in sight.
"There's no one here," Alice breathes as she releases a breath she didn't realize she was holding.
"That's either the biggest relief I've ever heard, or we're in for a heap of trouble," Will remarks in a fearful voice.
"I think you'll find it's the second alternative," an eerie but familiar voice speaks up.
Will, Anastasia, and Alice spin around towards the voice, but darkness overcomes their vision, and they fall to the ground on their knees. A portal opens, and whisks Will away to another realm, starting a new adventure.
The sea roars in the distance as a ship bobs up and down in the rocky water. Killian Jones is standing on the main deck, checking to make sure everything is running as smoothly as possible. His wife, Hannah, stands beside him on the deck.
"Killian, why are we going to London all of the sudden?" Hannah asks as she grabs his hand.
"I have information that the Jolly Roger has been found in a magical realm called Wonderland. The one person, well, animal, that can take us there is in London. Do you happen to know anything about Wonderland?" Killian responds.
"I've been there a few times with my friend Will Scarlet. He hates it there, but whether he likes it or not, it's his home,"" Hannah explains.
A port comes into view as Killian turns the ship's wheel. The pirate captain quickly docks the boat before jumping out onto the pier. Hannah jumps out behind him and starts to look around.
"So, do you have any information on where Rabbit might be?" she questions.
"I have no idea at all. I'll look around over there and you can search the market," Killian instructs.
"Okay, Killian. We'll meet up in two hours at the ship. Agreed?" Hannah answers.
"Agreed. See you soon, luv," Killian says as he kisses Hannah goodbye.
The pirate captain walks towards the other docks while Hannah walks towards the market. On the way she sees someone familiar causing trouble.
"This dock is off limits to civilians," a guard tells the man.
"I'm terribly sorry. I didn't know. If I see one, I shall inform you immediately," the man smirks as he walks closer to Hannah.
He accidentally bumps into her, and it is then that Hannah is certain the young man is Will Scarlet.
"You," she breathes.
"'You?' That's what I get? 'You?' Well, nice to see you too, Hannah," Will responds with a small grin.
"What are you doing here?" Hannah asks as she gives her friend a hug.
"Well, I can't exactly remember, but I know it has something to do with a pirate ship and someone hitting me over the back of the head. The next thing I know, I'm in London causing my usual mischief," Will answers.
"So, it's true? The Jolly Roger is in Wonderland?" Hannah questions.
"I believe so. How do you know that ship? It belongs to a…," Will starts.
"Pirate. Yes, I know. That pirate is my husband," she tells her friend.
"Well, I guess Alice and Anastasia were right. There is such a thing as a good pirate," the Knave says.
Killian, meanwhile, is exploring the docks, looking for a ship that can take him to Wonderland without falling apart. Two guards are comparing the speed and power of two ships, and Killian decides to join the conversation.
"But it seems to me that a ship like that makes this one here a bit superfluous, really," the pirate tells the uniformed guards, hoping to trick them into giving something away.
"The Dauntless is power in these waters, true enough. But there's no ship that can match the Interceptor for speed," the first guard speaks up.
"I've heard of one. It's supposed to be very fast. Nigh uncatchable. The Jolly Roger," Captain Hook reveals.
"Well, there's no real ship that can match the Interceptor," the second tells Killian.
"Jolly Roger IS a real ship," Killian assures.
"No. No, it's not," the guards remind.
"Yes, it is. I've seen it," Hook persuades.
"You've seen it?" the first man questions in awe.
"Yes," is Killian's simple reply.
"You haven't seen it," the second guard snaps.
"Yes, I have," Killian says through gritted teeth.
"You've seen a ship with black sails?" the same guard asks.
"No," Captain Hook responds, for the Jolly Roger doesn't have black sails.
"Like I said, there's no real ship that can match the Interceptor," the guard mocks.
Killian Jones walks back towards the market to meet up with Hannah. A smile crosses over his lips as he now knows what ship to take to Wonderland.
Hannah at this time is exploring the market, trying her hardest to find the White Rabbit for Killian. Will, meanwhile, remains on the docks, looking for any signs of danger. Killian walks towards Will, hoping the Knave of Hearts will know where Hannah is.
"Excuse me, do you know where I can find someone named Hannah?" Killian asks Will, still not knowing that this man is Will Scarlet.
"I'm not at the liberty to give out that information, especially since I don't know you," Will says.
"Where are my manners? We haven't been formally introduced. Killian Jones. But, most people have taken to call me by my more colorful moniker: Hook," Killian tells Will as he holds out his hand.
"Captain Hook?" Will asks in disbelief.
"Ah, so you've heard of me. You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?" Killian responds with both a smile and a confused look on his face.
Will does not respond with words, but instead punches Killian in the nose. Killian staggers backward, checking to see if his nose is bleeding. It isn't, fortunately for him. Hannah, however, saw the whole thing.
"Will, stop!" she yells as she grabs Will's arm.
The Knave lowers his arm and looks at Hannah in confusion.
"Hannah, this guy was trying everything to find you. I was just trying to protect you," Will honestly says.
"Will, this is my husband, Killian," Hannah reveals to her best friend.
Will Scarlet instantly has a sense of regret for punching Killian, his best friend's husband, in the nose.
"How about I give you a free swing?" Knave offers.
"No, thank you," Killian responds, because he doesn't like hurting people without a reason.
"Seriously – I don't mind," Will tells the pirate captain.
"I do," Hook says.
"Why, because you're a lover not a fighter, and all that?" Knave asks.
"I don't want to carry you around for the next five hours," Killian smirks.
"Where do you get five hours from?" Will questions.
"I'm told that people that get hit with my hook are unconscious for five hours," Hook answers as his eyebrow cocks.
"Ah, I see. Now, I need safe passage to Wonderland where I can rescue Anastasia, Alice, and Cyrus and bring them to Storybrooke," Will explains.
"There's no way I'm helping you," Killian remarks.
"Killian, this is my friend from Wonderland," Hannah reminds.
"What's your name?" Hook directs towards Knave.
"Will Scarlet," he replies with a straight face.
That name strikes a nerve in Captain Killian Jones, and he knows who Will is.
"That would be short for William, I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt named for your father," Killian says.
"Yes. How did you know that?" Will gasps.
"Your father was friends with my father for a little while. In fact, your father was a sailor on my father's ship. Well, Mr. Scarlet, I've changed me mind. I'll help you because you're my wife's friend, and the son of my father's best friend. Prepare to set sail in that ship," Killian replies as he points towards the Interceptor.
"Do you own that ship? I thought it was owned by the British navy," Knave asks with a confused look on his face.
"Precisely, which is why we must slip away in it unnoticed," Captain Hook explains.
"We're going to steal that ship? That ship?" Will skeptically questions.
"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term," Killian responds with a small smirk and an eyebrow cock.
"Well, then what are we waiting for?" Hannah asks.
"Let's go commandeer a ship," Will smirks.
Author's Note: And so the adventure begins! I will try to update this story as soon as I can, but I don't know when that will be since I have a lot of schoolwork. Please review and tell me if there's anything I can improve on! Also, Hannah is my character from my Once Upon a Time FanFiction, The Questions. She is based off of me, so I get a happy ending with Hook! *Fangirl scream*
