A Problematic Issue 5x02
Arendelll
A long time ago
Arendell is ruled by a king and queen. These rulers have no love for another but they loved their children very much. Anna and Elsa. They both have elemental powers. One with flame. One with ice. About a year after the beloved rulers were lost in a shipwreck and proclaimed dead (a story yet to be told) the entire town became frozen in time. The Southern Isles, Larkendell, as well as the Northern Isles shared the same fate. A villain that to this day is unknown did this. They stayed frozen for four hundred years, all unknowing of the time that passed. Although some managed to evade that, but still live till present aday, their story will find its ending. All you have to do is wait...
As we left Regina's office, I couldn't believe she was here. One of the worst people I have ever encountered. I couldn't help but think back to her voice. Back where were from, her voice was much deeper. Not all high and frilly like, like an innocent princess. It was strange. Bloody hell, this isn't fair. I finally win Emma's heart, and she has to come mess it all up. My headache was getting worse by the hour.
Elsa had heard of Captain Burns, and was telling Emma some stories.
"Some people were to afraid to go out to sea, so they prayed for her not to attack them. She was treated like a goddess in some places. No one knows where she comes from. It was as if she just appeared out of now where. She killed one of our neighboring counties princess. And that's how she got her name, from the princess. It's horrible."
Emma shivered. I could tell she was quite shaken. That woman is a terror. She knows everything. She claims that she sees the future, but that's bloody nonsense.
"In some places, she's know as The Collector. She steels stuff she wants. Legend has it, her treasure room is magical and is full of gold and other magical items. And if you lined all the stuff she has in a line, it would go on for three miles."
I remember all things she stolen from me. And I'm not it. She's robbed Blackbeard, Davy Jones, Captain Barbosa, Long John Sliver, and countless others. Now that I think about it, where are the other pirates, she can't be the only one. I shiver at the thought.
"You could fill a entire brig of the things she robbed me. I don't know how she does it. Sometimes she'll just stand their, talk, sail away, and when my crew goes to check, sure enough, it's gone. If Burns is getting testy, she'll storm the place. Killing anyone that gets in her way. She'll take everything you got. She'll wait, right when you get something worth value, she shows up. And it's no longer yours. Elizabeth may seem nice in this world, but in all honesty, that wench is a piece of work. " I said with disgust.
"It was Henry's first day of high school today." Emma blurted out.
She's been different ever since she gave in, and actually admitted she liked me. It was quite refreshing not getting pushed away for a change. Emma's happy, for the first time in her life. It's written all over her face. Open book, yet again.
"How was his first day?" I asked.
Ever since Elsa came to town, Henry started to bond with the crocodile and I. Sometimes he even worked shifts at the pawn shop. The kid asked me about my life as a pirate. He just can't seem to get enough. Although every time I see him, I still think of Balfire. I shake my self out of my thoughts.
"Good, but he saw Beth and about 20 other girls. He said they all were together, but all were different, and how he put it 'their personalities should have clashed, but instead clicked.' Whatever that means."
"Aye, that's probably her crew mates. They all have some strange connection. It almost eerie how they know exactly what to do with out orders, while in sync."
I believe Regina said they all have a link, or something along the lines of that.
"Your ok with you son going to school with pirates?" Elsa asked sounding confused.
"Theirs nothing I can do about it" Emma huffed. She crossed her arms in a defiant manor.
"We should have a town meeting about this" Elsa proposed. It's amazing how well she fit in here, even more than myself, it kinda irritated me. She was almost completely up to speed. She was even forming a rapidly growing friendship with Emma. It was nice to see her have friends on the other hand.
"We should. People would need to know that she's still cursed, and tell them not to kill her, when she's on her way for groceries" Emma said with a bored tone.
"What do we gain from keeping her alive? When her curse breaks, she will come after, you, Henry, and everyone I care about. Do you really want that. I say let them kill the wench." I crossed my arms, picturing the day someone finally killed her. No one has, and she loved to gloat. Bloody nonsense keeping her alive. She'll just wake up from the curse and kill anyone she thinks is to blame. Elizabeth is a cold hearted demon. Emma stood up, and looked him in the eye. She looked like she was borderline pissed. Her green eyes narrowed at me, ready to say whatever.
"I don't care what this girl did, everyone is worth saving, because we are good, like when we didn't kill Regina. She's on our side now. Same goes for her, got it?" Emma exploded.
She stalked of, obviously upset. She looked a lot like Charming.
I let her cool down. I ran my fingers through my hair. I thought back to what she said. Because we are good. My head was pounding and my emotions were everywhere.
"Bloody hell" I chase after Emma.
I grabbed her arm, as she tried to get away. I made her turn to face me. Something's wrong. She was fine just minutes ago. Now she ballistic, mood swings much? She looked like she was trying to decide weather or not to kiss me or slap me.
~Emma ~
My emotions was going insane. I am sick of people hurting my family. Especially someone that has caused physical pain to my boyfriend. It still felt weird calling him that, after months of denying my feelings. There's still time to get away, take Henry to New York, and leave this problem for everyone else. Save your self. When will he leave you like the rest? Protect yourself and your son. That's all that matters, not some pirates. Not people looking for your death. My subconscious form all those years of being alone coming back. Shut up! I told myself. He won't walk away. He wouldn't. He couldn't. You wanna face rejection again, Emma. You wanna feel that same pain Neal left behind. That's whats going to happen. No. That will not happen. Killian grabbed my arm.
"Swan"
I looked at him, all my worries gone. I grabbed the collar of his jacket, and kissed him. His hand went to my hair, while mine went to his neck. He bit my lip, as we battled for control. Elsa made a coughing sound behind us. I'm pretty sure I was as red as a tomato. Killian looked as if he's been through the process of getting caught one to many times to count. His arms snaked around my waist, and acted like nothing happened.
"Please try not to devour my friend in front of me. I don't care to see that." Elsa rolled her eyes. She and I have become friends, it felt nice to find a girl that understand you. We help each other with magic and everything like that. I even let her stay at my place a couple times. It felt like the sleepover I never had as a kid. I sighed contently. Maybe everything will work out. Maybe.
I paced the deck of the 'Calypso's Slave' wondering if it was worth it to rob the closest ship. I concentrated, the future held no danger, no one from my crew dies.
"Where's my first mate." I snapped. Acia rolled her eyes. Acia didn't care what anyone said. She had a haircut similar to a buzzcut( it burned off in a fire) and it was streaked colors like electric blue, dark red, and black. She was the darkest of all of us. It's not her fault thought, but the reason why is a whole another topic. Acia has anger issues, is loud and my second mate. Her cloak is black, unlike mine, which is blood red.
"What's gotten you in a bad mood, and I know it's not me." She smilies at our little joke. I took me a lot not to laugh. Most people won't get that joke, but we're not most people. We will never be what you think.
"Not fair! You can't make me laugh when I'm trying to be serious. Don't play dirty"
She looked at me like I was an idiot.
"We're pirates, must I say more Elizabeth? Gods, that basically all we do. Stupid."
"Idiot" It was an inside joke ( one of many). She calls me stupid, I call her an idiot. It's been that way for 130 years, something's never change as time goes on. The clock never stops. Well for some of us, the few of us that are immortal, we get the advantage that time is always on our side.
I heard the clash of swords coming from the other side of my ship. I smiled when I saw my crew preparing for battle. I gasped as my head hit the deck. I could vaguely hear Acia shout something along the line of "...protect her...gold inst...worth...don't show weakness...fight"
Flash forward ~
Storybroke, a quite town. Ruled by the Evil Queen herself. I never thought I'd see her again after she set the future of all EF residents, by refusing my deal. She can't get a happy ending, not in that world. I see a glimpse of the savior. The curse breaks, eventually, but unfortunately for my crew we don't wake up. That's when the panic sets in. There are no happy endings in this realm. If I'm stuck there... No I can't let that happen. I will fulfill my promise. I find a way back. I am the most feared pirate on the seven seas. That I made sure of. Out of all the things I've done, realm jumping should be easy. I start to see several different choices split off. I think I'm screaming but I can't hear. The options are overwhelming. Every choice you could make, it's all rushing towards me. Pan, no pan. Henry, Cora would have been the name if Henry was a girl. Cora no Cora. Snow dies, she lives. And then there's the bastard him self. If I didn't have a plan for him... He would have died along time ago. I see if he would have been cursed or not. The beanstalk. Tallahassee. Neal/Belfire. The savior. No happy endings. I keep searching. None, the only thing I truly desire to see, I can't. I see my self in this world after my curse breaks. No, I can't go back to being like that. Never. I could practically see my old self again. I tried hard to banish that part of me, it's to dangerous being the way I was. My life before becoming a pirate, it was too innocent. Never again. I'll get Regina for that. Because that future is definite. I scream.
When Emma first came to Storybrooke, there was a lot of things she didn't see. She missed the high school, seven other large neighborhoods, a small collage. The infinite houses in the woods, and the list goes on. But it wasn't until she got a phone call from the high school, that she was really on edge. One of the teachers called to say there was a huge circle around a small group of kids that were about to get in a fight. On of those kids was Beth. According to Regina, she was nice, really shy, and hated violence. Now she was about to punch someone? That can't be good. I took the squad car ( I was coming from the station ) down to the school. I managed to weave my way into the noisy crowd.
ELIZABETH
Punch him, the voice told me. What are you doing, curse him out! My fists curled at my side. This extremely annoying voice was telling me to hurt him, but the crazy thing was...I wanted to. Never had I ever, initiated a fight at school before. Some random dude was commenting rude things to my best friend Jeanette, and he use to know her, then was insulting her, I just felt blinding rage. He called me weak 'in this form' whatever that meant. The words just kept flying out of my mouth, like it was second nature to insult someone. It was almost as if I wasn't the one speaking.
"Tell me again why you were bothering her? Can't you see, she doesn't like you, so F*** off, you a**hole!"
I threw my hands in the air upset. It took everything not to sucker punch him. It was very strange, I felt like I was going against my very will to live. This feeling, I've only read about in books, I've never really experienced before. I mean for a the longest time I remember, everyone was happy, until came to town. Things started changing. Like when that poor woman felt out of the clock tower, and when the mayors kid went to the hospital. Ever since then people have been... hostile towards me. Which is strange because I never really talked to them. Kids would run away in fear, like I was about to kill them. Scare them off! Make them back off. I heard a sigh coming from the back of my mind. Great, now I'm insane. This voice, or whatever, seems to think I'm a pirate. I keep seeing these...visions. They make no sense. Sometimes, I'll see what we're having for lunch, the day before I have it. And this voice says that this 'curse' was weakening so she could 'talk'. Whoever this voice belongs to is really violent, and mean. That's totally unlike me. I usually just stick to my books. Lately I've been doing things on impulse. Like when we played dodgeball today, I caught every ball, I didn't get hit once. I always get out first, and I can't catch a ball to save my life. This didn't start until recently. I've talked to all my friends, they all say the same thing, they're hearing voices, seeing things, just like I am. I don't know if I should be relived. Even my moms been weird, ever since that kid got out of the hospital, she's been almost regal. Her posture is perfect, diction is precise, and acted like she hasn't seen me for years. When we went to Boston for a year, she was good old mom, but the second we went back, she stared acting like...like a queen.
As Emma saw Beth walk away from the fight, she could envision Captain Burns a bit better. If Killian truly feared her, she must be bad. Emma talked to several people she's meet, they all say the same thing, that Elizabeth killed someone, stole, or left permanent scars. Each tale if worse than the other. As she pulled up to town hall, Emma thought a about what she was going to say. It was hard to come up with. She usually left things like that to her dad. She walked inside only to see Beth.
"Hi Sheriff Swan, do you know where I could..could" Her voice faded as she collapsed to the ground.
Regina walked over to where the body was, well aware at the entire town watching her. She levitated the girl in the air and flicked her wrist. A big cloud appears over her head, it let us see what she's seeing. Regina expanded the bubble so the town could watch. It started off murky, but eventually cleared.
Captain Burns stood next to a body, which she kicked away. She looked around menacingly. She grabbed the closest pirate in her reach and said "How dare you disrespect me, do you have a death wish." He looked like he was about to say something when his eyes drifted down. Before he could apologize, she grabbed his head from both sides and snapped his neck. Regina watched the bubble intently, wanting to know Elizabeth did that, as did most everyone in the room. The Captain sauntered around her enemies deck, her red cloak billowing in the sea breeze. Her hand went up as the rest of her crew hopped on the ship and ran under the deck in search of loot. They rejoiced as they made such a good haul. "You see" she told the members of the robbed crew. "This is why you don't mess with Captain Burns" as she walked away, a pirate was about to throw a knife at her when his movement was stopped. A knife was buried in his skull as his body dropped to the ground. She smirked as a rope from her ship came towards her. Elizabeth grabbed it and swung back to her ship, and saluted as the ship sailed away. The scene changed. She was laying down this time, next to some male. The awoke at the same time, then locked eyes. They stayed like that for thirty second, until they did something no one in the room was expecting. They passionately made out. They didn't stop. Regina looked at Hooks face and tried not to laugh. He seemed horrified. They laid their foreheads on one another. Elizabeth smiled weakly
"Hey" she said.
A masculine voice responded, you could hear Elsa suck in breath as he talked.
"After more than 400 years, all you can say to me is hey?"
We never saw his face because the vision shifted. A knife slammed into a table, as we heard a voice speak like it's in the back of her head. Villains don't get happy endings. Over and over again, picture flickering around the image. She walked over the her desk littered with a huge timeline. They were all over the walls, some read EF, others were WL, LWM, CK, C, and all seem to be the events that will happen or has. They covered the walls, you could see a bookshelf filled with rows upon rows of even more. But what worried Regina the most the book on her desk next to the knife. It was black, and in gold lettering wrote 'Once Upon A Time: Volume 2'
