Elsewhere Emma and Hook had arrived in Neverland. They were navigating their way through the woods as it began to grow dark. "Maybe we should rest for now, " Emma suggested.
"Who knows what he'll do. The longer Callie is with him the longer she is in danger, " Hook replied.
"That's true but it will be hard to navigate in the dark and its kind of dangerous. If something happens to us then we can't rescue her, " explained Emma.
"You have a point. Let's make camp here for tonight," Hook finally agreed.
"You do care about her, don't you? "
"Is that so hard to believe, " he remarked.
"Well, you are a pirate and I thought all you cared about was getting your revenge, " Emma said.
"I might be a pirate but I'm a gentleman I can't leave women in danger," he told her.
"Are you sure that's the only reason? Are you sure you don't have a thing for her? " she wondered.
"Well there's no deny she is a stunning woman, " he answered.
"Thought so, " she remarked. "Anyway, we should go try and find some firewood so we can make a fire."
The two split off and Emma was picking up some wood when she stood back up she saw a dark-haired pirate holding a sword in her direction. How many pirates are there in Neverland? She thought as she took a close look at him, ready to bolt or fight if he tried to step any closer. She noticed he had green eyes that were staring her down and were wearing covered head to two in black.
"Well, this isn't what I expected, " the pirate exclaimed.
"What you didn't expect someone to be collecting firewood in the woods?" Emma said.
"No, I didn't expect to run into a beautiful woman, " he corrected.
"And do you hold up swords at every beautiful woman you meet?" She questioned.
"Ah, no but I don't know you. You might be dangerous, " he answered.
"You'll find out how dangerous I am if you don't lower your sword, "she threatened.
"I don't take kindly to threats, " he told her.
"Look, I'm not going to try anything. I'm just here to collect firewood. You can trust me, " she added.
"How do I know? You could be tricking me. You could attack me as soon as I let my guard down.
" I have no reason to, " Emma told the pirate.
"Fine, " he sighed, lowering his sword.
Emma returned to collect wood, now that the threat was gone.
"What are you doing here anyway? " Questioned the pirate.
"I'm here to rescue someone, " she replied.
"Oh."
Captain Hook wondered what was taking her so long so he went to go search for her. He noticed her threw some trees so he headed towards her calling out. "Hey, Swan have you finished collecting wood?"
The other pirate recognised that voice so he turned towards it and sure enough his cousin was back. "Killian?"
"It's good to see you again Eddie," stated Hook.
"You too, " said Eddie and then added, " you're here together? "
"Aye,we're here to rescue someone, " answered his cousin. "You haven't seen Ronan by any chance?"
"He's back too?" Asked Eddie.
"I'll take that as a no."
"If you want I can help you. I don't have anything better to do," offered Eddie.
"I'm not sure. You could be working with Ronan," Emma said.
"Trust me he's the last person I would work with, " declared Eddie.
"We can let him help, I trust him with my life, " Hook stated.
"Ok, fine, " agreed Emma and then set back to camp. The two men followed her.
"Sorry, I never introduced myself before did I and now that we are allies it's only polite I do so. Anyway, I am Edwin Jones or you can call me Eddie it's a pleasure to meet you, " Eddie introduced himself as they walked.
"Great another one, " Emma let out.
"Well, that's not the response I was expecting."
"Sorry, I wasn't expecting to meet another Jones," Emma responded.
"Right I guess not," he said.
"I'm Emma Swan, " she spoke after a few moments.
"That's a good name, " he claimed.
"Thanks."
Sometime later
She wasn't exactly sure how long she had been laying on the wooden floor contemplating what her fate might be when she heard her name. Not her fake name her real one. There were only a few people who knew it, so at first, she thought he had come back, but when they called again she realized it belonged to someone else.
"Are you sure she'll be here? He could have taken her somewhere else," Emma questioned.
"Well this is where he lived when he was in Neverland, " Eddie replied.
"And we, unfortunately, got to know him and how he works so she'll be here, " Hook replied. Then called out her name, hoping that he hadn't hurt her as he made his way towards the ladder with the other two following behind.
"Kenzie?" He called again, accidentally using her real name when she didn't respond.
That voice she recognized it. It wasn't Ronan's voice, it was Killian's. He had come to rescue her. Despite what Ronan had said she had been right to trust that she finally did have people who cared about her. A smile formed on her face as she moved as close to the doorway as possible, to make sure he could hear her when she called out.
"Who's Kenzie?" Wondered Emma.
"I meant Callie, " Hook replied hoping that she wouldn't question why he said Kenzie.
Back in the treehouse, Kenzie shuffled towards the door when it proved to be a difficult task she stopped and shouted from where she was. "Killian!"
At the sound of her voice,e the three bolted for the treehouse. Hook reached the ladder first so he climbed up with the others not far behind.
At the to,p they noticed Kenzie sat on the floor tied up so they approached her.
"Did he hurt you?" Hook asked, looking down at her, as Emma untied her.
"No, I'm fine, " she replied.
"Ok, let's get out of here, before he comes back, " Emma stated, once the ropes were off and she stood up.
Kenzie scrambled up to her feet. "Thanks for coming for me, " she uttered with a smile.
"We couldn't just leave you," Hook replied as they all made their way out.
"Yeah, you didn't think we wouldn't come to rescue you? " Emma remarked.
"Well no but Ronan said..." she started to answer but was cut off by Hook.
"Don't listen to what he says, " he commanded. "He likes to twist things and make things up to get into people's head so don't take anything he says seriously, love, " he added.
"How do you know that? " Questioned Kenzie.
Hook paused for a moment before replying and then said, "I have already met him years ago when he was last in Neverland."
"You know him and you never told me, " Kenzie pointed.
"Well, at first I didn't know he was the same Ronan, " he told her in defence.
"Nows, not the time to discuss that. We need to hurry up and leave before he comes back," Eddie ordered.
Kenzie looked at him. Who is he? Why is he saving me? She thought.
"Aye, " Hook agreed and then the four of them picked up the pace, leaving the dreaded treehouse behind.
