A/N: Violet knows! Do you think she'll tell Hook or keep the secret to herself? Okay, on with the story!


After awhile of making sure Bae fell asleep, I got up on deck. Killian stands at the edge of the ship, looking through his telescope. Smee stands next to him, rubbing his red hat in worry. Slowly, I walk up to them to see what they're looking at.

"Captain, you have to give them the boy. They've killed for less! The sooner we give them what they want, the sooner they'll leave us alone," Smee says. Killian contemplates what he wants to do, so I give him a helpful hint.

"It might interest you to know that the boy happens to be the Dark One's son," I say. Hook looks at me rapidly.

"Are you absolutely certain?" Hook asks in disbelief.

"His name is Baelfire Stiltskin." Hook looks around at the floor for a while after hearing this information.

"I cannot give up the boy now, Smee. Now that I know he is the Dark One's son." Hook saunters off. Smee glares at me for a second and walks away. Far in the distance, I can see a little boat holding hooded figures. Who are they? The boat then vanishes. I look at the sea in fear. Where did they go?! Suddenly, I hear a thump behind me. I turn around to see the hooded figures aboard the Jolly Roger. Hook looks at them in surprise. Smee is behind him. Clearly, they were having another private conversation until they were interrupted.

"You know who we are," A rather tall boy says. I go around the boys and stand next to Hook. The boy who spoke was dressed in brown and black, has a mess of blonde hair from what I can see, and a sunken face.

"You're the Lost Ones. You work for him," Hook says knowingly. Again with the him. Who is this unknown threat everyone keeps talking about?

"Looking for a boy who was seen adrift nearby... A boy he has a particular interest in..." As the boy looks around the ship, his eyes fall on me. Feeling his gaze on me, I scoot behind Hook. "I didn't know females could be pirates."

"Women can be pirates, even clever ones," Hook says confidently. I look at him in surprise and felt a surge of joy in me. "Also I am sorry to disappoint, since the rest of us are all men."

"Then, you won't mind if we search your ship?"

"Be my guest." The Lost Ones go below deck, and I pull Killian aside. I raise my eyebrows in worry. "Don't worry. We hid him," he whispers.

"Secrets secrets are no fun unless you tell everyone," another Lost One says.

"I was saying that I hope you boys don't steal my rum. A little too young to be drinking that, eh?" Killian laughs, and both Smee and I start laughing as well. Then, Killian goes below deck. Smee follows. I stay above, not wanting to be in a crowd of males. I rub my hands anxiously and wait for them to come above. Then, I see something in the sky. First, I see the moonlight, then a dark shape drapes across it. It's not a cloud because even clouds at night aren't pitch black. I forget about the dark shape when I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. The Lost Ones leave as quick as they came. Killian looks at me and smiles.

"They didn't find him?" I ask hopefully.

"Not even close."

"Great! Hook...for some reason, I feel like I already know the boy."

"I feel that way too. But, I knew his mother." I look at Hook incredulously.

"How?"

"She was my loved one, my Milah." I open my mouth knowingly.

"Let me guess. She ran away from the Dark One to be with you and got killed." Hook nods slowly.

"He also gave me this." Hook raises his left arm with the hook attached. I stare at it for a while with a glint of pity in my eyes, but I don't say anything.

I clear my throat and say, "I have no idea why I feel like I know Bae. Maybe, I spotted him when he was young, when Rumpelstiltskin wasn't the dark one... I don't know." I look off into the unknown dark sea and sigh. Killian looks at me, sensing my tenseness.

"Love, do you want to try a hand at the helm?"

"Seriously?"

"Go ahead." I grab the wheel, still astonished by Killian's actions.

"So, what do I do?"

"Keep right." I try to move the wheel with a lot of strength, but Killian's hand stops mine. "Not so sharp a turn, love. Gently." He caresses my hand as we both move the wheel slowly to the right. I can feel Killian's hot breath on my neck. I turn to face him, and he leans towards me more. That's when I push him away.

"This is wrong. I'm nineteen, and you're - I don't know, old!" I run off, blushing furiously. I can hear Killian telling me to stop.

This voyage just got a lot more intense than I want it to be.
