Chapter 7

Emma POV

After continuously laughing at Hooks snoring while he kept threatening me that if I don't stop he'd kill me, I was dragged through the ship until we reached a ladder and Hook said, "We will be setting sail shortly. Please, save me the trouble of having to go after you." With that, he walked away, probably heading off to look at sea charts or something like that. I smirked. Trouble is my middle name.

I climbed up the ladder. I figured he'd probably have some pirate watching me the whole time, but I don't care. I walked to the railing, closed my eyes, and breathed in, the salty breeze pushing my hair around.

I walked down the plank that connected the ship and the shore. I glanced at my surroundings. The entire town was bustling. I walked off the dock and walked down the streets. Kids were laughing and playing, running around the street. I smelled fresh out of the oven bread. My mouth watered and my stomach growled. I hadn't eaten anything since last night. Ugh. Just remembering that giant feast makes me hungrier. And that dance with Hook was. . . Wait, why am I smiling? UGH! I need to get a hold of my thoughts. Hook kidnapped me for crying out loud!

I ignored my petty thoughts and found myself walking towards the smell. I want that bread. Maybe I should cause a diversion. I stopped in front of a small little house at the end of the street. This was where that smell was coming from. I looked around. All the houses had windows open, a small wooden door on each house, and there were small shops in front of each one.

If I had to, I could easily make a diversion but, I might as well see what I have to get through to get to the bread.

Hook POV

I can't stop pacing. I've been walking back and forth in my quarters for fifteen minutes. I honestly didn't think Emma would leave the ship because there were pirates everywhere. If she's stupid enough to try doing something reckless, she would end up dead. I blame myself. I should've kept an eye on her or got someone else to.

I stopped pacing. I knew this would happen. Everything is that crocodile's fault. If he hadn't… Stop. I need to stop thinking and act.

"Smee, Get me my sword! We going to give that…. that… Princess, a lesson."

Smee handed me my sword and I made my way to the docks. She may already be in trouble, but I'm angry so things are going to get way worse when I find her.

The second my feet touched the dock, I heard it; a woman's scream and my gut told me it wasn't any normal woman. I dashed into the crowd. I pushed and shoved through the gathering crowd. I got to the front of the crowd. First I saw Emma, her face bruised and bloody, her clothes torn and dirty, and her hair soaked in mud.

Rage filled my lungs as I saw the gang of pirates laughing with their sword drawn. Five pirates total in that group. I looked back and saw sword marks on Emma. I stepped out of the crowd with my sword drawn. First, I'm going to kill them. Then, later I better get an explanation from Emma about what she did to provoke these idiots.

"Looky, boys. It's Hooky! Aw, watre you gone do widdat?" Their words were slung together. They were intoxicated. This should be fun but really, picking a fight with these pirates, what is she thinking?

Emma POV

My plan was working perfectly. I knew that Hook would show up and I knew these guys were idiots. Now all I had to do was wait for Hook to make a move towards them. I've heard from rumors in this place that no one would mess with Hook so when they go to retreat (so Hook doesn't kill them) they'll trip over a hidden tripwire I made from some yarn I stole off a table in the market. It was covered in mud and unseen. Then they'd fall on the door and break it (I made sure it would break with a few unnoticeable tweaks). Then the owner would come out screaming. Hook would be confused for five seconds while I sneak away and climb through the window, grab the fresh, delicious bread and run at top speed to anywhere else for breakfast.

Hook glared at the, his sword low. "Why are you fighting in the street like a bunch of rats? And fighting a lady? That's not gentlemanly at all. And you," he turned his head slightly towards me and looked me in the eyes. "You're not much of a lady anyways but still, a lady is a lady. I thought I told you not to do anything troublesome? Are you that stupid to pick a fight in a town of uncivilized pirates?" I lowered my gaze and muttered, "Ouch."

Hook went back to those idiot pirates. "You have twenty-no. Ten seconds to get the hell out of this town and never return. This town is here for people who deserve to live here, not lowlifes like you. If I ever see you again, your deaths will be long and painful. I promise. And a gentleman always keeps his word."

All of the five fell backwards, two of them crushing the bakery door and the other three tripping over the fallen two and falling onto a table and a few chairs. I smirked and slipped away from the crowd.

Hook POV

Emma must have done this on purpose. She wanted something from the bakery and she must really want it to go this far. By now, the entire family living in that bakery was outside yelling and screaming. I chuckled. She may be stupid sometimes, but this is entertaining. Even a young boy was spitting in their faces. The townspeople were hysterical. All I could hear was laughter, except from the angry family.

I looked over to see if Emma was laughing. My smile faded and a frown set in. I disappeared into the crowd and made my way to the side of the bakery. I saw Emma holding bread in her hands. She was smiling. I smirked but shook my head. Get in control! She noticed me and her eyes widened and she turned to run but I was already in front of her.

"Nicely done, very nicely done, but what are you going to do now? Run away? I think not. Smee, come out." He stepped out of the alley were he had been watching.

"Yes, captain?" he muttered quietly. Suddenly shy after me figuring out that he was watching.

"Please take Miss Swan's breads and bring them to my quarters of the ship. I need to speak privately with Miss Swan. We're going to take a walk and chat." I smirked at Emma, who stood frozen in front of me. Emma, with an overly exaggerated sad face, handed the bread to Smee. Smee ran off with the bread in his arms.

Emma POV

My mind wasn't working. I just stood looking into Hooks eyes for what seemed like an eternity, I didn't even blink. His eyes were blue crystals that made my knees buckle.

That Smee had finally disappeared into the town. He was obviously Hook's first mate. He was chubby with a big nose with a worn out blue and white striped shirt. I had seen him glance back at us- I mean Hook and me before he had disappeared and shake his head. I didn't understand why he did that but there must be something he knows. Note to self, investigate Smee if I actually live through this little "walk" with Hook.

I couldn't stop myself from smirking when Hook held his arm out to me in his oh so gentlemanly way. He smiled and wiped some dirt off my face. I smiled and laughed. I stared into his eyes wondering if I was doing the right thing by not running away and looking for Mom, Aurora and Mulan.
