Emma was terrified to say the least. When he came above deck see instantly regretted her decision to come aboard. If she revealed herself he was probably going to kill her, however it was too late to back down now, and she would stand her ground. He just stood there looking at her like he had just seen a ghost. She could feel his eyes searching over her, looking up she finally got to see his face clearly. He had handsome dark features and his eyes were a piercing blue. "Emma" how the hell did he know my name! Suddenly he came rushing toward her, before she could react, he pressed his lips down on hers. Emma stood there in shock as he wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace and tried to deepen the kiss. For a moment she gave in allowing him to kiss her. A moan came from the back of his throat. That snapped her back, what the hell was she doing? She tried to escape from his embrace but he was holding her too tightly. With no other choice, she brought up her knee and kneed him in the groin. He fell back instantly wincing in pain.

"How do you know my name!" Emma could see pain flicker across his face at the question. He slowly tried standing back up.

"You don't remember me?" He tried to hide the hurt in his voice. He had her in front of him, here in Neverland and she couldn't remember him! She must still be under the curse, but how was she even here then?

"No, I think I would remember if I knew Captain Hook"

"Well apparently darling your memory has failed because you do know me and I am indeed Captain Hook"

"Look I don't know you! You have me confused with someone else." Emma needed to focus on why she was on this ship in the first place. "Now, I came aboard your ship because…."

"Yes, why did you come aboard my ship? If you say you don't remember me, how did you know to come here? How did you know I'm Captain Hook?

"If you let me finish…as I was saying, I came aboard your ship because I need your help. I fell through a green vortex and landed in this world, which I'm still not completely convinced is real, I need to get home to my son who is back in my world. I saw your ship at the dock and realized it might be my ticket home. As for knowing who you are you have a Hook for a hand, and your ship's name is the Jolly Roger. We have a tale about you in my world, and I can put two and two together."

Hook chuckled darkly

"Is something about that funny?" She said as she glared at him

"It's just this quest is becoming a bit redundant." Gods how many times did she and her son get separated. "But yes, I will help you get back to Henry anyway I can. However it will be no easy task."

"How do you know Henry's name?" She practically growled at him.

"I told you lass, we know each other." He sighed, obviously it was going to take some time to get through to her. Even though she couldn't remember him he was still elated that she was HERE. He could see her, touch her although that might not be the best idea at the moment and he was no longer alone.

Emma eyed him skeptically; he must have another way to get information about her that she is not aware of. She could see that he appeared to be telling the truth, but she knew she did not know him. She would remember a face like his. Really Emma Shaking the thought she was still curious about something else.

"Not that I'm ungrateful, but why is it you are so willing to help me? In all the stories I have read about you, you are a villain and look out only for yourself. What is it you want in return for helping me?"

Hook wanted to say he was willing to help because he would do anything for her! He would go to the ends of the earth to make her happy. He loved her! However saying that would not be wise, even if Emma had her memories she would probably panic at those words.

"I'm not going to lie to you, I was a villain and frankly still have that side in me. However there was a woman not long ago that showed me that my life didn't have to be dark. She led me to the light and since then I still try and remember that. So I will help you in honor of her, I do not need anything in return."

Emma saw that he was telling the truth, and slightly relaxed. "What happened to her? It sounds like you really cared for her." Emma spoke softly, not sure why she was even asking such personal questions.

"I would rather not discuss the details at the moment." Hook unable to look at her started staring down at the floorboards

"Right, it is not my business." Emma knew better then to pry into personal matters. She needed to stay unattached and focused. "So when can we start on getting me back to my son?"

"Well at the moment we can't travel anywhere; it is not safe to go out on the water at night on this side of the island. We are in mermaid territory, and I will not risk it. So I suggest we take this time to eat and rest. I need you at your full strength to help me sail tomorrow." The last thing Hook wanted to do was rest right now. He had just found her, but he could see she had over exerted herself running about the island.

"You can sleep in the Captain's Courters." Hook said as he pointed to the stairs below deck

"If you think I am sharing a bed with you, you are truly out of your mind."

"I can assure you that YOU would be the one going out of your mind, if you were in bed with me." Hook smirked, oh how he missed baiting her. "However, I will be sleeping in the crews space."

Emma rolled her eyes, "The gentleman act doesn't suit you."

"I am a man of many suits darling." Hook winked as he turned and walked down below deck.

What was this guy playing at? Emma thought as she stared at the stairs as Hook descended. She needed to be on guard, people didn't just willingly go to this much trouble for a stranger. But he claims we know each other No, it wasn't possible. While he did have this odd familiarity to him, she would not forget meeting a man like that! That brief moment when he kissed her, she could feel electricity shooting through her body. He kissed her What the hell was that about? An even better question is why had she let him? Because it felt amazing Shaking her head she needed to really get rid of these thoughts. This was Captain Hook! She needed to be careful; she knew better than to let herself get played by a man with beautiful eyes and a quick tongue. He was dangerous. Emma needed to formulate a plan, incase he tried to double cross her.
