A/N: Hello! Sorry for the wait, I lost all my notes about the story and I had to rewrite this chapter three times before getting back to where I wanted.
Also I want to tell you that I thinking in an AU but that will need to wait. For now.
From now on we will have two Enchanted Forest, one in which Hook's is in and the other one with Emma and Regina: Hook is two years earlier than the actual moment of where the ladies are so I am going to mark that counting Regina's years giving than in the first section of the fic Regina was close to 12 and in the moment that Regina and Emma are she is 14. Remember also that Hook will be the same amount of time that the ladies were in that time so, for now, two days for the first period. If anyone is lost feel free to ask me.
The traitor and the advantage
. - I want to talk with Cora Mills, say to her that I'm the Captain Killian "Hook" Jones and I have some information that she may want to know.
Enchanted forest (Regina being 12)
Cora Mills looked at the pirate with severity, she had heard about Killian "Hook" Jones but the sea was too far away from that land so she was suspicious about why such a man wanted to talk to her; the tall man looking at her with a little smirk that make her rise a brow, the pirate show no fear, it was almost like he was laughing at her, something that she didn't like it one bit.
- Pirate- started with a soft voice that didn't match her pose- You told my guards that you wanted to see me, you have been cuffed because of security so you may speak now before I decide that you are not worthy my time.
Hook smiled before nodding, he knew that he couldn't play with Cora but knowing the future was an advantage that he was going to use. He wasn't stupid, he knew that if he ever wanted to make Emma see that he was her only and best option he needed to become better than he was and since he would never achieve the prize that was the savior giving normal circumstances he needed to save her from something, and Cora filled that void, and if he could convince the woman that she needed to kill or imprisoned her own daughter he would win one over Regina. He hated how that woman didn't trust him.
- I am from a future so far away that if I ever tell you all the truth you would never believe me- started the man with conviction- In that future you are death milady and I am here to prevent you.
- How do you dare to speak to me like that? - asked Cora rising her chin piercing the pirate with her gaze.
The dark haired man licked his lower lip before continuing, lowering his eyelids while speaking, trying to became more truthful to the eyes of the woman.
- It is true, milady, in that future you are death, death by hands of one powerful brunette who had traveled to this time searching for something. I'm here to stop her.
Cora rose from her chair and walked to the pirate who kept her head low and her attempt of half reverence in place, the woman tilted her head: she didn't trust that man but if the tale that the pirate was telling was even remotely true she needed to be prepared.
- And how it is that a pirate like you is trying to stop a murderer like that woman? - asked, her voice laced with cold and hard cruelty.- What are you hiding, pirate?
Hook only smiled briefly before looking at Cora directly.
- She has something that is mine with hers, another young woman, a blonde, she goes by the name of Emma, the brunette took her and I want her back.
Cora nodded once before turning her back to the man, still thinking in all the multiple possibilities that she could face believing that pirate. If what that man was saying was true the brunette which was powerful, maybe even useful for her plans, if she changed her present changing the brunette's witch's past then she could survive to her magic an become what she deserved, a queen.
- Where are they? - asked looking back to Hook who hid a smirk before answering, Cora had swallowed the bait.
- I don't know, milady, they can be anywhere. But I am tracking them with a spell, whenever they move through time and space I will go after them so I will catch them and I only want your help if they keep being next to you. You can have this woman but I ask for the blonde.
Cora nodded once before smiling coldly.
- It's a deal then but, pirate- added making a sign to her guards who approached them. - I will be watching you.
Hook nodded again and approached the big wooden doors that separated them for the rest of the house.
- How is the name of the brunette? - Asked Cora already not looking at Hook and that was when Hook decided to make his last move.
- She goes by the name of Regina, milady.
Enchanted Forest (Regina being 14)
Emma was feeding the fire when the brunette appeared finally, her face a rictus that the blonde couldn't identify.
- Are you ok? - asked softly and the older woman merely nodded before sitting graciously before her.
The young version of Regina had searched for them and Emma had went with the teen version of the older woman wanting to know how Regina was coping with her mother, she was devastated because of the things that the girl told her but also glad because, apparently, Daniel and her was starting to fall for each other, and that was a great sign, albeit bittersweet. When she had returned to the spot in which she had left Regina the older woman wasn't there.
At first she had freaked out but then she had founded the book, still firmly closed, and the rest of items so it looked like Regina needed some time alone.
And now, that she had managed to lit the fire and everything almost knew what was bothering Regina.
- Do you want to talk? - asked softly, her eyes still fixed in the fire and she could almost sense how Regina stiffed before relaxing a little.
- Why would I want that Miss Swan? - Finally asked the other woman and Emma shrugged.
- Maybe because you need it. - Answered and Regina closed her eyes while pursing her lips.
She needed to talk, but she wasn't use to it, no one had wanted to talk to her, to know her, and Emma was still a riddle that sometimes she couldn't understand.
- It's Daniel? - asked Emma finally, her eyes never leaving the fire and Regina found herself nodding instead of denying it.
- I loved… I love him and seeing him, so young, so full of life…
Emma nodded but kept looking at the fire.
- I will be more careful the next time- muttered softly and Regina found herself shaking her head.
- You didn't do anything wrong.
Both women didn't say anything, the night engulfing them like a cloak. Unknown to them the book glowed softly inside the pouch that Regina had created
