Chapter 4
A loud noise woke Selena causing her to worry what it could be. She looked around it was dark but she noticed a figure moving towards her cell. She was afraid and backed herself into the wall, Cora came into her mind maybe she came back to torture her. "W-who's there?" Selena asked feeling scared. The figure was near her cell door. "I'm here to help you my dear, you can trust me." His voice sounded familiar. The man picked the cells lock and entered offering Selena his hand. Selena was weary of this stranger but all she could think about was her papa and wanting to escape. Her prayer was finally answered, she took the mans hand and ran out of the dungeon and away from the kingdom. When they were near the forest they stopped for a rest. Selena realised that the man had a shiny silver hook on his left hand. He was the man that was talking to the queen, he saved her.
"What's your name?" She asked him as she panted. He looked at her noticing she looked a lot like someone but he couldn't put his hook on it. He raised his eyebrow and smirked "I'm Captain Killian Jones but most people know me as Captain Hook." Selena smiled "You're a pirate, I read about you." She exclaimed. Hook smile grew wider. This little girl was making him soft. "You've read about me?" He asked raising his eyebrows. "Yes, I love to read about adventure and pirates." She smiled. "Well my dear which pirates do you know?" He asked smugly clearly testing the girl. Selena accepted that challenge and raised her brow. "Well I know you, Long John Silver, Davy Jones, Black beard, Captain Kid, Captain Morgan. I can keep going." She said smirking. "Why you're a little buccaneer aren't you. What's your name love?" Selena giggled this man wasn't evil, she wondered who would of came up with that. " My names Selena, I must go home my papa must be worried." Hook smiled and nodded "Then let me take you home, the woods is not safe." Selena smiled and nodded excepting his offer. They begun to carry on with their journey home as he told her about his adventures at sea.
Selena began to recognise the part of the woods they were travelling and felt relieved that she was nearly home. She looked up at the Captain and smiled. "Thank you for saving me and bringing me home, how can I repay you?" Hook looked down to meet those beautiful blue eyes that were looking up at him. "Your welcome Selena, you can repay me by not telling anyone about me especially your Papa. It will be our secret." Selena gave a small smile and nodded. "Why did the queen capture you?" Hook said with a concerned expression. "Well you can't tell anybody promise me please." She said with worry. "I promise my dear." He reassured her. "Well she is my grandmother she was taunting me telling me the truth about my parents. She killed my father and told my mother I was dead so she could be queen." Selena told him as she held back the tears. Hook put a hand on her shoulder for reassurance. "Everything will be ok Selena ,and if you need help to find your mother I will gladly help you." He said with a slight grin. Selena smiled and cuddled him. She knew she could trust him pirate or not.
They were exiting Tulgey woods Selena turned to Hook knowing that it was time to say goodbye. "My house is just there." She told him as she pointed towards her house. Hook nodded "Then till we meet again my dear." He told her. Selena's smile faded she had formed a bond with the pirate and wished he could stay. She cuddled him again holding him tighter. "Ill never forget you Captain." She whispered as a tear fell from her cheek. He cuddled her back being careful with his hook. "Don't cry love we will see each other again, I promise." He told her trying to make it easier for both of them. Selena pulled away to look at him she smiled. She gestured him to lean forward, She quickly placed a kiss to his cheek and backed away slowly. She ran to the door and looked back to the pirate she smiled and waved, he waved back and went into the woods.
Selena knocked on the door and waited for Grace or her papa to answer. To her surprise they both came to the door. "Papa, Grace!" She exclaimed when she saw them she cuddled them both as she cried tears of joy. "Where did you go, what happened?" Jefferson asked worried and mad that she left. He cupped her face in his hands. "Are you ok Selena?" Selena nodded her head as her grip on him tightened. "The knave took me papa." She told him as she cried. He held her tighter. "Did they hurt you?" Grace asked protectively as she kneeled down to look for any wounds. "Selena shook her head and slowly. Jefferson reassured Selena and left Grace to check for any wounds while he put the kettle on. Grace knew something happened and was slowly trying to get it out of Selena. "What did the queen do Selena? I wont tell, you can tell me." Grace asked slowly as she found no wounds. "S-she told me the truth and about my parents." Selena said as tears welled in her eyes. "B-but that doesn't change anything you and papa are my family , I wouldn't change that." Selena told Grace as tears spilled from her eyes. Grace pulled her into a hug and rubbed circles on her back to soothe her. "It's ok Selena they wont come for you , I promise."
Selena gave Grace a small smile and went into her room to wash up and put on her pyjamas. Grace went up to her father and whispered what Selena told her, but she made sure that her father wouldn't let Selena know that he knows. Selena came back and approached Jefferson and tugged on his sleeve. "Papa , can I sleep with you tonight." She asked as she looked down at her feet. Jefferson smiled and nodded "Of course." As he placed a kiss on her forehead. "Would you like some tea princess?" Selena nodded and went to sit down next to Grace. Grace noticed a red mark on Selena's cheek. "Selena what happened to your cheek?" Grace asked concerned. Selena began to fiddle with her fingers. "The queen hit me because I answered her back. She got rid of me and told my mummy that I was dead." Selena told Grace as she whispered the last part only loud enough for Grace to hear. After they drank their tea they went to bed. Selena snuggled next to her papa, Jefferson stroked her hair as she drifted off to sleep. "Sleep my darling, you are safe."
The next day Selena woke up to the smell of Oatmeal. She had a smile on her face remembering Captain Hook the man who saved her from the queen. She wished she could tell her papa but Selena was a girl who never told lies or broke promises. She washed up and got dressed in her blue and white dress with black and white stripped tights and black shoes. She fixed her hair and went to have breakfast. "Good morning papa. Where is Grace?" she asked as she came into the kitchen. "Good morning Selena, Grace is at her friends house." Selena smiled and sat at the table. "Selena I got you a present before you got taken away." Selena looked up and wondered what her papa got her. She smiled and got out of her chair and walked towards Jefferson. "What did you get me papa?" Selena asked curiously. Jefferson took a little package out of his coat pocket. It was long and thin with a red bow on the top. Selena smiled she was excited to see what she got. Jefferson gave her the package. Selena took it and opened it. It was a new bracelet to replace the one she had when she was a baby. It was silver and had Selena engraved on it. Selena's smile was ear to ear. "Thank you papa." she exclaimed as she gave him a kiss and cuddle. "What was the occasion papa?" Jefferson smiled "I know I couldn't get you much for your birthday , but I was saving up to get you this." He told her with so much love in his eyes. Selena hugged him tight. "Thank you so much papa, I love you and I love my present." Jefferson smiled and helped her put it on.
The afternoon was calm as Selena was drawing pictures or so they thought. At that moment Grace came running in, she was panicking. "They are coming, they know where she is." She shouted as she thought of an idea to keep Selena safe. Jefferson had an idea he told Grace and she thought it was a good idea. He pulled Selena close and told her the plan. "It's the only way princess, you are a big girl now stay strong and we will come for you. I promise." Jefferson reassured her as tears fell from both their eyes. Selena nodded and hugged Grace goodbye. "I love you Grace." Jefferson came back with his hat and threw it on the floor making a portal. Selena knew what the hat does and ran to her papa to say her farewell. "I love you so much papa, ill be waiting for you. Please don't forget me." She told him as she cried harder. "I wont forget, I promised you remember." Jefferson told her as tears now fell from his eyes. He led her to the hat and with that she jumped and left wonderland, away from the queen but where did the portal take her?
