NOTES: Hello fellow Oncers! Thank you for your lovely reviews on the last chapter of The Next Saviour. It was short, but sweet. I now move onto the real story, the story that would've been my version of Season 8. Are you ready to meet the real daughter of Hook and Emma? Reviews are always welcome.
It's been 15 years since the birth of my beautiful, brunette hair baby girl. She received her rightful name and all of Storybrooke celebrated her birth. Here I am, Emma Swan-Jones, not aged a bit with Storybrooke still frozen in time, yet ever growing up Hope was nearing her 16th birthday. Here's to hoping no one crashes this celebration.
"Mom!" A feminine voice called.
I looked up from the couch to find my piercing, blue eyed daughter staring at me.
She was holding up a dark blue dress with thick spaghetti straps.
"A dress," I nodded.
"For tonight!"
"Hope, your birthday's not until Friday,"
"No, not that, it's not everyday Ruby turns 30!"
"Technically she's frozen at 25, but who's counting. Also, do you know where Henry and your Dad have been gone for so long?"
Once Hope was born, Regina, Henry and I made the decision to cast a spell on him, so he would still be in his late teens as Hope neared her early. I didn't want him married and having kids of his own on her 10th birthday.
"Did Dad not say anything? They went down to the docks like 4 hours ago to sword fight. Dad refuses to teach me, claims "A lady should never wield a sword" she mimicked Killian's accent.
"He's just being a Dad. When him and I met, I did the fighting, he was mostly on the ground,"
She laughed at that.
"Nonetheless, I've got the pirate genes too, and I'm not a kid anymore, he's bound to teach me someday,"
"And he will, for now you can focus accessories for that dress, and finishing Henry's storybook,"
"Ok, it doesn't make sense that a storybook could take this long to read, there bloody fairytales!"
"God you sound like your Dad, stories were added over time, especially when Henry found me years ago. The book was kind of frozen, but after the First Curse broke and I found your grandparents and everyone else, our adventures continued, and so did the book,"
"I can't believe Dad lived in Neverland, I wish I could go there,"
"Your Dad is the Captain, that's definitely something to ask him,"
I said as I felt my phone buzz in my pocket.
"Regina, hey," my brows furrowed.
"Mom?"
"Yea, we'll be there soon. Sorry kid, duty calls for your Dad and I, your Aunt Regina need everyone at Granny's,"
"Can I come? Henry's going,"
"Not this time, and Henry needs the storybook,"
"I can help!"
"Hope, no!"
"Mom, I'm almost 16, and I've got the blood of Captain Hook and the Saviour, I know a thing or two about magic,"
I sighed and smiled at her.
"Text Henry, tell him where we're meeting,"
20 minutes later, Killian and I, Henry, Hope, David, Snow, Regina, Gold, Granny, Belle and Ruby were all in the same room.
"Ok, enough bantering! We have issues far greater than what kind of pizza you'll being ordering, Henry,"
Henry shrugged his shoulders.
"What's up Regina?" I asked.
"We have a new threat and once again, the town is at risk. A creature known as the Horned King, he owns an ancient cauldron used in dark, aged rituals even I haven't got access to,"
"Aka the villain from one of the most underrated Disney films in history," I muttered.
"Yep," replied Henry.
"I hoped you'd recognize this. Apparently, a princess destroyed him in the 14th Century, but all this time later, someone, somehow, has resurrected him,"
"Who's the princess?" Asked Ruby.
"Her name I can't pronounce for the life of me, but it starts with an E,"
"Eilonwy,"
"You know her, Emma?"
"Did you not hear me say underrated Disney film?" I replied as Henry smiled.
Regina raised her eyebrows.
"One of the very few to be given a PG rating. If this King is real, he's bad news. And the princess, very damsel in distress type, if she's here too, then we have to find her. The King may be after her,"
"What I want to know first, is who has the power to bring someone as old as him back to the present, and why in Storybrooke?"
"Where else would you resurrect an animated character? Disneyland?"
"Possibly," said Henry.
Regina's nostrils flared.
"I'm staying we need to be careful. This King is very powerful. We have no idea of his powers, besides the animation. And the cauldron, I don't even wanna know what it really does,"
"We might need to,"
"Belle, would you have any books on a black cauldron in the library?" Asked Snow.
"I'm not sure," Belle shook her head.
"No, not this time. I say we go straight to someone we already know is skilled at magic similar to this,"
"Who and what?" I asked.
"My sister is particularly gifted in creating portals, surely you remember witnessing her power Emma?
"What's your point?"
"She might know this Horned King, and if so, why bring him back,"
"Could she be holding Eilonwy hostage?" Asked Henry.
"Why on earth would she be with your sister?" Asked Ruby.
"It's Zelena, she had flying monkeys for pets, she's unpredictable," replied Regina.
"Flying Monkeys? Did she have Dumbo too," joked Hope.
"Hope, no," whispered Snow.
"Let's split up. Henry, Killian, Hope and I will go to her farmhouse, you guys check everywhere else and stop by the library for research,"
"Come oh kids, time to pay the ol' Wicked Witch a visit,"
Thank you for reading, chapter 1 is coming soon!
