I woke in the middle of the night. I stayed there for a long time, staring up at the stars, trying to fall back asleep. It didn't work. I listened to the water lapping at the shore and quietly stood up. Walking over to the creek, I looked back towards everyone to make sure they were sleeping. Walking up stream, I stuck my hand into the water, it was ice cold. Looking back once more to see if anyone may have followed me, I began to unbuckle my pants. Stripping them off of me, I reached up for my shirt, and quickly pulled it over my head, feeling the soft cotton brush against my face. I was left standing in just the bare minimum and I reached up to my bra clasp, but deciding against it, I left it on and made my way to the water.

I was up to my hips and I was freezing. I thought of backing out and going back to camp, but I liked the numbing feeling it caused and continued my way in. I reached my ribs, and was shivering all over. I put my hands on top of one another and dived into the black water. The water rushed over my head, dragging me down and I let it. It slid across my body, and the ice cold made my chest tighten. I touched the mud on the bottom, and pushed up quickly with my feet, shooting to the surface. Breaking the water, I sucked in, refilling my lungs. I smiled to myself in the darkness. The moon hung high in the sky, bouncing off the water, creating a beautiful night scenery. I rubbed my hands against my arms, cold, and shivering. I went back under and held my breath as long as I could. When I began to grow light headed, I swam back up to the surface. I looked around and caught a shadow out of the corner of my eyes. Gasping, I turned around to see a figure sitting atop of a rock.

"Who are you?" I hissed at him.

"Just a nobody," he replied. I could hear the smile in his voice.

Remembering I was practically naked, I covered myself, even though I was still submerged in water up to my neck.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered.

"I could ask you the same thing, Princess."

I remembered Gold's comment and grew angry, "I'm not a Princess. Do you have nothing better to do than watch a girl swim in the dead of night? Run back to your mommy and daddy, kid."

"I don't have any of those, just like you."

"How do you know that?" I asked.

"I just know," he replied quietly, flashing another smile in the dark.

"Step into the light," I pleaded. Who was this boy?

"Can't do that, Alexandria."

I was surprised he knew my name. How? "Do I at least get your name?" I asked flirtatiously.

"Maybe some other day." he said mysteriously. He stepped off the rock and fell into the woods. I wasn't done talking with him and ran out of the water, splashing and making noise. I ran to the tree line, and then ran back for at least my shirt. Pulling it over my head, I ran off again. I stepped into the woods, and couldn't see anything, it was pitch black. I whispered 'hey' multiple times, but I was not returned with any answer. Sighing I went back for my pants and sandals. I pulled them on slowly, thinking. I made my way back to camp, and noticed Mr. Gold watching me. I nodded at him, and he nodded back. I laid back down and fell back asleep, dreaming of the mysterious boy.

"Rise and shine, sleepy head!"

I quickly woke, startled by Emma's prodding. I pushed her foot away, "Okay, okay, I'm up." I said groggily. Memories of last night flashed through my mind, and the more I thought of them, the burlier they became, to the point where I wasn't even sure it really happened. Maybe it was all just a dream.

"Hungry?" David asked me. I shrugged my shoulders, still tired. He tossed an apple at me, and I barely caught it.

We all sat down and ate; apples, oranges, the animals Mary Margaret caught in her snares, life was good. Emma was thirsty and got up to go get a drink from the creek. David threw his wife a look, to which she returned with a sly smile. Mary Margaret followed her daughter, and as Emma bent over, Mary Margaret pushed Emma into the water. Emma screamed, and fell in. She turned, surprised and wet. When she saw it was her mother she looked amused. "You did not just do that." she said suspiciously, smiling. Mary Margaret turned and began to prance away, giggling. But when she turned around to come back to the camp, David bounded over to her and said, "Oh I don't think so, Snow!" He grabbed her around the waist and slung her over his shoulder. She was laughing and screaming 'don't' at him, but he didn't listen and ran into the water with her. Emma, who was climbing out looked at them running past her, "Karma sucks, mom!" she said, waving goodbye to her.

Emma came back and sat down next to me, "I guess I'm not thirsty anymore, I got my fill."

I smiled at her and watched David and Mary Margaret splash around by themselves in the water.

Hook looked over to Emma, "You still look beautiful, love. Drenched and everything."

The smile left Emma's face as she looked over to Hook. She didn't say anything to him, and turned away. She got up to put last nights fire out, and Hook was left rejected.

David and Mary Margaret finally came back, later, and asked when we were going to get a move on. Emma looked around and replied that we could go now. So we packed up the little that we had and continued our way blindly into the forest.

AUTHORS NOTE::::::

**This is NOT a SwanQueen fanfic** Many of you brought it to my attention that you thought it was because of the characters I selected in the settings-I simply picked Emma, Regina, Hook, and MaryMargaret to be selected as some of the main characters! Sorry for any of the confusion!

BUT!- I still don't know if I should go with HookedQueen or CaptainSwan, and if I pick one, im probably going to loose viewers, so who would stick with me through either choice? (im still taking votes for either of them) ****SO COMMENT! I READ EVERY ONE!****
