since this is my first entry, i really love the reviews and i just wanted to say how much i appreciate it. Also i wanted to ask if you all like my writing style, its weird (in my opinion) but i just wanted to know if its good or not. feedback is much appreciated :) and now the third chapter of my retelling of the swan princess,

I cant believe someone has actually found me, i wish i can ask him at this moment but the sun is an obstacle that i can not defeat. By his uniform he is obviously from my fathers navy, he is a quite the sight, ironically since i can not move away from his eyes; as blue as the forget-me-nots. If he is here then they have not given up the search, as wonderful as that is, i am only a prize to this man, my return will give him all the gold so he can live out his days in a cottage away from all the problems from this place, still he seems to have kind eyes but i can not bring myself to hope too much or i'll truly lose myself.

All around the only thing i see is the lake, the large trees and a lone swan. why is there only one? that matters not. what does is the fact that the the golden glow has drifted onto the lake and has stopped. is she...dead? she cant be! she is alive, this must be some trick from the Evil Queen and if it is a trick then i must find a way to get her back. I keep getting distracted by that swan, i cant think of a plan with that damn swan starring at me.

If i were human at this very moment im sure my cheeks would have been flushed deep red because he has become aware of me staring back at him. Still i think that i should fly, the wind has become stronger and i sense something ominous is coming, something dangerous. Over the trees i can see the castle and it seems as if the fleet has gone out to sea...that was a mistake. Dark clouds are forming from all corners of the kingdom, of course Regina's dark magic, but they seem far enough to not reach for another...another two weeks. Damn that witch. I still remember the conversation we had late one night "two weeks dear, then the real work begins" - "what happens in those two weeks Regina!?"-"nothing that i can say at this moment, goodbye..princess". I must get him to tell my parents, get him to leave, get a plan ready so i can be free from this place and be able to defeat the Evil Queen once and for all. No matter the costs.

This place is driving me mad, i can not think with such beauty around me and still without a plan, i just wish we'll be able to stall the queens forces by the time the princess is found and she unleashes her wind seems to be getting stronger, the sun is setting and here comes the swan flying down gently onto the water.

A bright light blinds the poor Lieutenant, making him stumble backwards onto the nearest tree, watching as the swan transformed into a women. As the water touched her skin, Emma was engulfed in a white light and she arched her back as the wings disappeared and walked slowly back to shore, letting her blonde hair fall into curls and her white feathers having turned into a long silky white gown, moving slowly to the dazed man on the floor, who has quickly pushed himself up into a stance as she walked towards him.

She came from light. At least that's how it seems, she is truly a sight to behold, her golden curls lying loosely behind her and the white gown making her look like an angel...or swan, truly i have no words to express her beauty, her movements are graceful and i cant help but notice her green eyes filled with excitement? and fear? im not sure but she must be the princess. The liquid could not bring me here for it to be a coincidence.

"thank you..sir..its been so long..i-"

"you're a..swan"

"..was...its a...a long story"

"i'm sorry m'lady, this is all strange for me but i must ask you. are you Emma?the princess of the enchanted forest?daughter to snow white and the known prince charming?"

"...yes. i am. but you must hide now, shes coming and if she finds you here- well it wont be good"

As if on cue a puff of smoke started to form and quickly Killian ran to hide behind the nearest tree as he saw the scene unfold.

"Emma! what's with that frown? i thought my presence would've have lighten up your...day" - her sarcastic tone making it almost unbearable for Emma not to punch her in the face

"nothings wrong. Im FINE"

"alright. i see you do not wish to speak to me but you must know i came here to tell you something very,very important"

"then say it, its not as if i'll be able to do anything"

"true. but as your dear old mother always says, very annoyingly 'have hope' "

"well then what is it?"

"the two weeks...remember...they have just begun"

"the two weeks?!..gods'Regina what happens in two weeks!?

With a move of her hand and her signature purple smoke, she is gone leaving Emma to wonder about her statement and a bewildered lieutenant coming out slowly from his hiding.

although I've been posting a chapter everyday, i'll be unable to do that from later on this week, but i'll try to post at least 2 of 3 chapters a week some may be shorter and come from different view points not only from Emma and Killians. i hoped you like this chapter it took a while but inspiration came to me and i had to write it down. chapter 4 may be up sometime in the next two days or so :) feedback is much appreciated and thank you for reading.
