"Perhaps I would"
Those words irritated her, replaying over and over in her head. What right did he have to say that to her? To stare right into her with a look on his face that mirrored the very words that tumbled from his lips. He was not lying, that was the most frightening part. He truly wanted to know her. No one has ever wanted to know her, not that she would ever let her walls down long enough to reveal any of herself.
But wasn't that her downfall? Mary- Margaret had told her once that her walls may keep out pain but they may also keep out love. wait, what was she thinking? she does not love that walking, talking innuendo. No way, that's ridiculous. She needs to find Henry, her son is the number one priority. She can't risk getting sidetracked over a pirate, no matter how charming he may be.
They had been trudging through the dense jungle that was Neverland for a few days now, they were all growing tired, but no one would admit it. David was especially slow, a slight stagger in his step. Ever since Pans ambush in fact, Emma was growing suspicious and was not about to let it pass
"Okay, seriously I've had enough, no hiding anymore, no more lies!"
The whole group stopped abrubtly
"what are you talking about?" Mary-Margaret looked at Emma with confusion and hesitation
" I'm talking about David over there, has anyone else noticed how weak he is? He's barely holding it together. He got hurt and he's brushing it off like it's nothing"
"It's nothing really, just a scratch. I'm just a bit sore, we should keep going" David attempted to dismiss Emma's acusation but she was not having it
Mary-Margaret lifted David's shirt despite his resistance
" No, THAT does NOT look okay. I AM NOT LOSING ANYONE ELSE ON THIS ISLAND. I'VE LOST ENOUGH PEOPLE IN MY LIFE! We are not moving forward until we get that taken care of!"
Regina scoffed " We need to find Henry! You expect me to wait for Prince Charming over there to get better?! That wound is beyond anyone's help,look at it, there's poison running through him! he'll never heal"
" I don't expect anything from you, but if we want to save Henry we all need our strength, we are not leaving him behind."
"There has to be something we can do!" Mary-Margaret was becoming panicked
"Well i unfortunately cannot do anything and i'm definitely not gonna stand here and waste precious time, I'd have a better chance finding Henry on my own then with the lot of you"
"Be my guest, Regina, go ahead and take the easy way out, that's what you've done you're whole life" Emma was so beyond done with Regina and her attitude
"Good luck with the damsel in distress" Regina vanished in a puff of purple smoke
Emma ran a hand through her hair and sighed
" Regina may not have been able to help the Prince, but i might be of some assistance" Hook spoke for the first time during the entire conversation, not that she hadn't been completely aware of his presence, his passionate gaze upon her when she professed her fear of losing more people, an underlining understanding.
"You can help? how?"
" I have treaded through this god forsaken land long enough to know its poisons, and there may be a plant that could be the antidoit to what's plaguing him."
"well then what are we waiting for?" Emma was growing impatient and extremely worried
" the trek to find this plant is a fairly long ways from here, we won't be able to make it in time with him, he's not well enough to ruff the terrain"
"well we can't leave him behind!"
Snow looked up from her husband who was now on the ground resting against a tree
"You two go, i'll stay here with David"
" Mary-"
"We'll be perfectly fine, Hook said it himself David won't be able to ruff the terrain, just come back quickly, okay?"
Emma looked at her mom, running her fingers through Davids hair in an effort to comfort him, she could do this, Hook knew the Land and they would get back to her parents and everything would be okay.
"I promise i will come back as soon as possible"
"I know," Snow gave emma a saddening smile " we will always find eachother"
Emma looked at her parents once more before Hook interrupted her thoughts
"I promise i will return Emma safely, if it is the last thing i do"
Snow gave Hook and slight nod and returned her attention to her wounded husband
" c'mon lass, we should leave before the dark is upon us"
Emma slowly turned and walked side by side with Hook further into the jungle

Yay it's so great to be writing Fanfics again! I hope you enjoy this, it is the first time i've actually started a multi chapter fic. I will post the next chapter as soon as possible! i hope Regina wasn't really unrealistic i just needed to find a way to get emma and hook completely alone. I know y'all are dying for some actually captain swan action but im trying to make it more faithful to the show and captain swan is like a slowly blooming flower and i dont want to rush things.
