Well this took me a couple days to write and finish and make it my best, so here it is, seriously sorry for the wait, and I was going to have it done sooner but I got busy. okay I'm going to start writing the next chapter. so REVIEW AND READ! But not in that order! Please!


Summary: what if Red never Killed Peter? What if something else happened? What if he lost something? A Hand, I suppose? What if he replaced that hand with a hook?

Disclaimer: I Do NOT own the story; I wish I did though

"Hi," then I paused "oh I've never seen you before, anyway I'm Ruby, can I get you something to eat or drink"

He then looked up and smiled, he was pretty cute, although it looked like he was wearing, eyeliner? "I'll take rum and I'm Killian Jones or as most people call me Captain Hook" he said raising up his hook in the place where his left hand should be.


"One um... Rum." I said hanging it to that weird guy. "Its weird most people just say beer instead"
"Ah yes, love but you see they are two completely different things" he replied with a cocky smile. Weirdo.
"No they aren't"
"Oh that's right, I was thinking of water"
I'm not going to lie this guy is freaking me out a little. I mean how did he get here? Apparently he came from another realm. But how, so far we haven't found anything else to get us out.
I walked back to the break room because my shift was officially over
so I went down to the sheriff's station to talk to Emma because we had a new visitor to our town from a different realm who seemed to have magically appeared here. Little did I know I was being followed.


Enchanted forest before the curse...
"Red! Where are you?" I heard Peters voice call from down below.
"Psssst" I said looking down
He looked up and kind of laughed.
"What are you doing up there?"
"Shhhh" I said putting my pointer finger in front of my mouth "you'll have to climb up to find out. I said and smiled.
He climbed up. "What the heck are you doing?"
"Oh just hanging"
He laughed a little
"So I was thinking" I started" that we'd go have are official first date"
He sort of smiled then looked down.
"What?" I asked "what is it?"
"It's nothing"
"Tell me" I said pulling on his arm
"The forest isn't staying as magical as we cut down more trees, so we have to go overseas to start cutting" he said not making eye contact "and we leave... Tonight"
I looked down. Just last month he told me he loved me and now he's going to be gone. Why didn't he tell me sooner? How could he lead me on like this? What if pirates raid his ship, and he dies, what if he finds another gi-
My train of thought was interrupted by Peter "Red?" He questioned "Are you okay?"
No I was not okay, I was mad at him for not telling me sooner. So I jumped down from the tree (despite how tall it was. I actually hit a really good landing) and started to walk away. The tears now running down my face.


In Storybrook; Hook POV
I followed her out of the restaurant. But I think she caught on fast that I was following her because she turned around and said;
"Stalker much?"
"I'm sorry love, but you seem very interesting, might I say."
"Um... That's not something you here every day"
"Could you tell me who you are exactly?"
"Um..Excuse me?"
"This place was cursed and everyone here is from the enchanted forest or something like that, I just wanted to know who you are?"

"Wait you're from the enchanted forest?"

"Um… I guess you could say that."

She came closer "then how did you get here, and why weren't you cursed? You could help us get out of here. I need to take you to Emma"

"Woah, slow down. I'm a captain of a ship, and I was in Nederland at the time, and for some reason it didn't get affected." As if I didn't know…..

"That's odd, but you can get us back?" she looked hopeful

"I guess" I really hadn't thought about it I just wanted to be with Red, I would do whatever it takes, which reminded me…"so a beautiful girl like you has to have a, young mate"

"A what?" she said with a laugh

"a person of interest?" she still looked confused with a raised eye brow and a slight smile with a nod of her head with a confused, crazy expression on her face. So I tried again. "A, how do you say it? Lover?"

"Oh" she laughed "I don't have the best luck when it comes to relationships" it was funny in a way because I knew what she meant.

"Oh, I'm sure it's nothing, I mean it can't be that bad."

She laughed "you'd be surprised"

"Try me?"


Ruby's POV

"well it all started out when my best friend turned into the love of my life, and then me being, a wolf, I killed him, not realizing it, and all that was left was his hand, and then this one guy I had a date with but then someone killed him by splitting him open then tried to frame me for it, but it didn't work. So that's why I stay away from that."

"Lost his hand you say? Kind of ironic, aye?" he said holding up his hook of a hand "out of curiosity what did you do with the hand?"

"I didn't keep it if that's what you're hinting at. I'm not creepy like that. I buried it in a grave I guess you could say?"

"Oh, uhh... interesting?"

"Since were on the subject of hands-"I started "if you don't mind me asking-"

"My hand, well" he started "the relationship didn't end well"

"Oh I'm sorry"

"But yours is way more tragic" he said,

Okay so I'm no genius and all but isn't it kind of ironic how his hand and peters-, and how his girlfriend- and how peter did leave before to go to overseas and he's a- but it couldn't be. I mean that's weird, and strange.

"Well I should be going" he said "nice necklace by the way" he had a smile on his face then he walked off it took me a while but as soon as he was out of plain sight I realized.

He's Peter. Hook is peter. Peter is Hook. Peter is Alive!
