Fairytale land
On an island that existed north of the Enchanted forest, was a small port village that was frequented by pirates, on this island was a small shop who's owner had a dislike of pirates, he would act like he want their business and sell them goods and after the pirates had left they would find they did not have the goods they paid for, how this man was still alive no one knows.
One of these pirates he had done this to was Captain Jones and he was not going to take being swindled lightly. The shop owner was due to make some delivery's to several small villages that lived on the island and they wanted to rob him. They found out about the deliveries after Milah gone into the shop and overheard the shop owner talking to his wife. They needed away to make sure the shop owner stopped so he got the idea to use Amelia.
"Amelia," Milah stepped into the cabin that she shared with her brother. "What's this? Milah had a small bottle a purple substance, the island was also known for its perfumes, the item she had in hand was a small bottle of lavender perfume. Both she and Milah had been out earlier and Milah had stopped at the perfume shop and Amelia had admired the lavender scented one, the island was also known for it's high end and very expensive perfumes and they could not afford it at moment.
"I took it," Amelia admitted "I never had nice things like that before."
"Your lucky you were not caught." Milah told her.
"Am I going to be whipped?" Amelia asked.
"No, your not going to be whipped." Milah told her handing her the bottle. "Why would you think that?"
"My Papa he..." Amelia said tearfully, he wasn't easy to talk about "He would be whip me if he knew I stole something."
"Amy, your not going to be whipped for stealing a bottle of perfume." Milah sat next to her.
"Some of the crew have been teaching me how to steal and pick pocket without being noticed," Amelia admitted to her.
"I see" Milah laughed. "Before the job you need to do your morning lessons"
"Do I have to?" Amelia asked. Milah had been teaching her to read, write, do her sums, draw and read maps. What Amelia really wanted to do was learn to sword fight but she was to young.
"Yes" Milah smiled.
Storybrooke (During Curse)
"Who is that?" An older woman who had gray hair and wore a brown pant suit asked one of her students, Mrs Miller taught the ninth grade art glass and every Friday was free day in which you can paint or draw what ever you wished. "It's beautiful Amelia"
"I don't know who he is." Amelia told her, Amelia was fourteen years old, she wore a pair of blue jeans and a white and blue t-shirt. the picture that she drew was that of a young man who was probably about nineteen or twenty years of age.
"I don't know who taught you to draw but it's beautiful." Mrs Miller smiled as the bell rang.
"Thank you." Amelia smiled.
"You know might want to consider entering some of your art work at the art fair." Mrs Miller suggested.
"I don't know." Amelia had always kept her art to herself. "I doubt anyone would really want to see my drawings."
"At least think about it," Mrs Miller smiled "I want to get as many people as I can this year to enter."
"I'll think about it" Amelia smiled and left for her next class. Every Friday afternoon after school she meets her parents at Granny's Diner for Dinner, as she sat she saw Henry Mills walk into the diner, the two of them live in the same neighborhood and her mother often babysat Henry when he was younger, he waved to her and walked over to the table she was sitting at.
"Can I join you while I wait for Emma?" Henry asked.
"Sure," Amelia smiled at him. "Want to see my latest drawing."
"Sure" Henry told her, she took out her sketch book and showed Henry the picture of the boy.
"I've been having dreams about him lately" Amelia told him.
"When did the dreams start?" Henry asked curiously, "Did it start after Emma arrived?"
"Yeah" Amelia told him and realized what he meant, she had heard rumors about his ideas about a curse around town. "I really don't think that has anything to do with your curse."
"How do you know?" Henry asked.
"Henry, I'm starting to look at boys my age differently and possibly date able" Amelia explained to him.
"Ewww" Henry told her. Amelia laughed.
Fairytale Land
A crew member was sent down the road to watch for when the shop keeper was coming, the other crew members remained hidden behind some bushes while Amelia waited in the middle of the road, she didn't know how she would get the man stop or if he even would stop. When she saw the cart come up road she started to become nervous. The man was heavy set and balding, he wore a khaki colored top and dark brown pants, he stopped when he saw her.
"Mind getting out of the road, young lady" the man told her.
"Please sir I need your help, my log lady ran off into the forest" Amelia pointed in the opposite direction from where the crew was hiding "My poor Papa he can barely walk and she helps him, I'm to scared to enter the woods on my own, I'll watch your cart for you"
"Well, I suppose" The man jumped down and gave the rains to his horse to her, she could hear him calling for her fake dog when he far enough away the crew came out of hiding and started taking what they wanted, including gold coins. When the man came back he tried to go after one of the crew members but soon found him on the ground and tied up.
"Stupid pirates, using children to do your dirty work now" The man told Captain Jones. "Look kid these pirates holding you hostage, making you do stuff for them, I can help you get away from"
"Amy, are we holding you hostage" Captain Jones asked her.
"No sir" Amelia told him.
"When I get back to town I'll see you all hang, including the brat" the shop keep told them. The crew left the shop keeper tied to a tree and headed for the beach where a lifeboat was waiting for them. That night during dinner the crew was going through some of the stuff they had stolen.
"For you Amy," Captain Jones handed her a small bag of coins. "You did a good job today."
"Thank you sir." Amelia smiled.
"What are you going to do with your share?" Jacob asked her later that night while they were in their room.
"I don't know, save it for now." Amelia told him.
"I'll be honest, I didn't like it that he used you for this job." Jacob told her.
"Why?" Amelia asked.
"I just worried that something was going to happen." Jacob admitted to her. "I couldn't live with myself if anything ever happened to you."
"I love being a pirate." Amelia smiled.
"You do." Jacob asked surprised.
"Well...yes." Amelia told him.
"Promise me if they ever ask you to do something like again, you'll be careful." Jacob asked.
"I promise" Amelia told him smiling. "Goodnight" Jacob turned blew out the candle that was the lantern, he watched as sister slept and did a silent prayer to their mother to watch over her.
