I do not own…
The next night was Cordelia's birthday party at her parents' summer castle that was by the sea. It was just like how it always is; her parents way kind of party. Everyone that was a prince or princess was enjoying it; all except the birthday girl. The VK's were okay with it but some of the isle kids that were invited kind of felt out of place and stayed with their own group. Cordelia was starting to think this was her father's punishment for what happen last night. She walked around and placed a fake smile on her face. Not to mention that her corset was killing her right now. It was kind of hard to breath at times. When she came close to the balcony door she opened it and went outside. The balcony had a beautiful view of the sea. She just stood by the edge looking at it and trying to breathe but it was getting too much for her. It wasn't long till she couldn't breathe anymore and fainted. She lean forward and fell over the balcony.
Harry was looking for his princess as he saw how sad she was. He finally found her by the balcony and saw that was having trouble breathing. Then the next thing that happened sank his heart. He saw her fall over the edge of the balcony and dived into the water.
"Cordelia!" He shouted
His shouting alerted everyone and hurried to the balcony. Harry took off his jacket and quickly dives in after her. Ben and Mal were the first to the balcony when Harry dived in.
"Cordelia!" Ben shouted
He was about to jump in next till Mal stopped him.
"Ben no, the rocks. We're lucky that they missed them." Mal said
Everyone hurried to the shore while Harry dove further down to get his love. When he got to her he tried to pull her up but the bottom part of her dress was dragging them down. So he took out his knife and cut/tore it off. With the heavy part out of the way he was able to swam them to the surface. He was able to swim them to the shore and checked her pulse. Seeing that she wasn't breathing he cut the corset off and she quickly cough out water.
"What…What happen?" She said
"You fell from the balcony and in the sea." Harry said "Dove in to save you."
She looked at him in surprise when he said that.
"You saved my life?" She said
"Yeah." He said
"Why?" She asked
He sat down next to her and looked into her eyes.
"Because I care for you. You're the only girl that I truly care about." He said
She saw that he wasn't lying so she began to blush and smiled a little. He placed some hair behind her ear and lean down to kiss her. Sadly once again they were interrupted.
"Cordelia!"
They mentally groan in annoyance as they saw her family, the guards and almost everyone from the party hurrying over to them. Edward (for some reason arrived at the party) took out his sword and pointed at Harry. The young pirate wasn't fazed at all and just looked at the prince with a bored look.
"Get away from her you pirate." Edward said with disgust.
Before Cordelia could yell at him to back off her father helped her up and quickly placed his coat over her.
"Cordelia, are you alright?" Adam asked
"Yes, dad. I'm fine." Cordelia said
"Don't worry King Adam I have the culprit." Edward said smugly
"Harry is the one that saved my life you jackass." Cordelia glared
Her mom gave her a stern look for saying such language but didn't say anything.
"Oh please, he's a villain and a pirate. Why would he do such a thing?" Edward said
"We saw him jump in to save her." Mal glared
"Like I'm gonna listen to a formal villain such as yourself." Edward said to her with disgust.
"Watch it, Edward. I myself saw Harry jump in to save my sister while you were off flirting with Snow Whites daughter again." Ben growled
Edward blushed in embarrassment as everyone glared at him and started to whisper. Harry smirked at this flicked the sword away from him with his hook and got up.
"Let's get you inside before you catch your death out here." Adam said
He was going to take her inside but she kept still.
"Is there anything that you would like to say to the man that saved your only daughters' life?" Cordelia asked
"Dear, she is right." Belle said
The king sighed but he had to agree with his wife and daughter. He turned to Harry and gave him a firm handshake.
"Thank you for saving my daughter, Hook." He said
Not knowing what to say Harry just nod his. Adam and Belle took Cordelia back inside the castle and everyone else followed. Harry followed last but stopped as he noticed the change in the wind. He looked out at the sea and had a gut feeling that a dark omen is near.
How right he was.
Cordelia was still wearing the pirate medallion when she fell into the sea. The moment it touched the water it send out a powerful pulse throughout the ocean. It was a call that was calling for certain ship.

That night every student had headed back to Auradon Prep and other royal family had headed back home. All but Harry did. He believed now was the time to leave Auradon and sail the sea. When he found a boat to sail he went looking for his princess as he knew that this is what she wanted. Just like him she wanted to be free with the sea. When he reached to the castle he stopped when he heard a familiar sound that he hasn't heard in a long time. It was cannon fire. Harry quickly dodged away and it hit the gate wall. He got up and looked out at the sea and saw the legendary black sails. Sails that every pirate has heard of and feared.
"The Black Pearl." He whispered
More cannons balls were firing at the castle and long boats were heading towards land. Pirates reached land and hurried to the castle gate. The guards were able to fight them as long as they could; till another cannon ball took down the main gate. When the pirates came King Adam had send his wife, son and Mal to safety and now was looking for Cordelia.
The young princess was already up when she heard the first cannon fire. She and Piper made sure that all the servants escape from the hidden passageways. When they came by the stairway the Pirates broke in and looted the place. Two pirates had spotted them and chased after them. The girls passed by the suits of armor hallway and they took the swords from them and started fighting them off. The skinny one that Piper was fighting almost had the upper hand till her shadow got ahold of him and ending up tripping him.
"Thank you, Shadow." Piper said while high fiving her on her shadow.
Cordelia was able to disarmed the cubby one and kicked him down. The young girls hurried to another room and Cordelia used a candle holder to jammed between the handles.
"We know you're in their poppets." One of the pirates said from the other side of the door.
"Poppets." The other said
"Open the door…and we promise that we won't hurt you two." The first voiced said as they tried opening the door.
"You got something of ours, and it calls to us." The first voice said "The gold calls to us."
Cordelia looked at the medallion and the two wonder if what Mr. Smee told them was true. The pirates were able to kick open the door and ready to attack.
"Parlay." Cordelia said
"What?" The chubby one said
"Parlay, we invoke the right of parley." Piper told them quickly.
"According to the Code of the brethren, set down by the pirates Morgan and Bartholomew, you have to take us to your Captain." Cordelia stated
"I know the code." The pirate said pointing his pistol at the young princess.
"If an adversary demands parlay you can do them no harm until the parlay is complete." Cordelia said with frim tone.
"To blazes with the code." The skinny one said
"They want to be taken to the Captain and they'll go without a fuss." The chubby one said to the skinny one before looking back at the young girls. "We must honor the Code."
They grabbed ahold of the girls and took them out of castle. Harry, who was fight off two pirates outside, saw them begin take to the long boats and he hurried after them. Once on the long boats the pirates rowed them back to the ship. When the girls saw the name on the ship they couldn't believe how the story of the curse ship was true. Once they got close Cordelia went up to the ladder first and then Piper followed.
"I didn't know we were taking prisoners." A huge tall black man said
"These two recite the code of Parley." The chubby one said
"We're here to inco…" Cordelia said but she was cut off when the tall guy backslapped her.
"You don't speak unless you're spoken to." He glared
Then someone grabbed the mans' arm. From the size of his hat Cordelia believed that he is the captain.
"And ye will not lay a hand on those under the protection of Parley." The Captain tells the man.
"Aye sir." The tall man said as he takes back his arm
"My apologies miss." The captain tells Cordelia.
"Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessations of hostilities against Auradon." Cordelia said
"Lot of long words there miss, we're naught but humble pirates." Barbossa said "What is it that you want?"
"We want you to leave and never come back." Piper glared
The pirates started laugh.
"I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means no." Barbossa said
"Very well." Cordelia said
She took off the necklace and walks over to the rail of the ship.
"I'll drop it." She said as she held it over the edge.
"Me holds are bustin' with swag. That bit of shine matters to us?" He asked "Why?"
"It's what you've been searching for." Piper said
"We've heard the stories of this ship." Cordelia said
"Did ye, now?" Barbossa asked
"Fine, then. I suppose if it is worthless then I guess there's no point in me keeping it." Cordelia said
She dropped it a little and the pirates almost lunged towards it. The girls smirked in triumph as Cordelia was still holding the necklace by the chain.
"Do you have names Missy?" Barbossa asked
"Cordelia…Sparrow." Cordelia said (not sure why she said that name.) "And this is Piper Pan."
After saying Sparrow everyone looked at her in shock.
"Cleo's and Jack's daughter." One pirate said
Barbossa took a step forward and took a good look at Cordelia. He noticed the sparrow birthmark on her shoulder that showed that it was her.
"You look just like your mother." He whispered before turning back to his crew with a serious face. "Still the guns and stow 'em. Signal the men, set the flags and make good to clear port."
"Wait! You have to take us to shore." Cordelia said as she and Piper walked after Barbossa. "According to the Code of the Order of the Brethren."
"First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiation nor our agreement so I must do nothing. And secondly, you must be a pirate for the pirate's code to apply and one of ye are not. And thirdly, the code is more what you'd call "guideline" than actual rules. Welcome back aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Sparrow. And Welcome aboard Miss Pan." Barbossa said
The girls were taken to the cabins that were under the ship as everyone was getting ready to sail away. As this was happening no one was aware of Harry Hook climbing the ropes to the ship and snuck on aboard.
