Chapter 19: Villians Can't be Trusted
"Let's just say that my parents didn't take the news well." Emma told Killian as they laid together on the couch. Jack and Jill were on their ship preparing everything for them to leave. Killian propped himself up to look at her and raised his eyebrows.
"They're not coming?" He asked. Emma sighed looking annoyed
"More like they don't want me to go." Hook nodded
"They don't trust Jill." Emma shrugged
"I mean she did try to kill you. And you have to admit she came around to the whole 'the man who killed my dad is family thing pretty fast'." Hook flinched as she said the last statement.
"Plus," Emma continued, "We don't really know Jill, and before you interrupt, I know she's family but, we hardly know anything about her. I mean, how did she get here? Yes, her ship flies but without a portal? And who are the other girls of this crew?" Hook took Emma's hands in his ceasing her rambling.
"I'm sure Jill will tell us when she's ready. Remember love, I'm still revealing my past to you. Villains have dark storylines. And not everyone trusts them once they've heard what they've done." Emma looked him straight in the eye.
"You're not a villain." Hook sighed
"Well, no, but I was. I want to give Jill a chance, like you gave me. Maybe she's not as bad as we think. The only stories I ever heard about her was that no one who crossed her or her crew ever survived. But, I have no idea what kind of pirate she was." Emma looked confused
"Kind of pirate?" Hook nodded
"I became a pirate after an order from the king resulted in the death of my brother. I started my adventures in piracy looting the king's ship hoping to hurt his kingdom. Then of course after the crocodile… well, you know that part of the story. But, some pirates do different things. Some just steal for their own pleasure. Some take over islands, and some," Hooked shuddered "take people captive and sell them." Emma leaned her head against his shoulder.
"I don't think Jill would sell people. I couldn't imagine her letting Jack see that." Hook looked out at the window.
"Aye, but I think Jack's seen a lot more than we think. We have to remember, she's not as young as she appears. And she's a survivor. Even Though I trust her and Jill, we need to watch our backs."
