Ruby snelled the sheets that had Maria scent on them and smelled round to find the trail. She darted off towards the docks. Emma watched the gps tracker as Ruby ran. Ruby stopped at the town limits, trying to find the trail before running along side theline and chased the Pirate now in her vision. Maria glanced back at Ruby terrified and was heading back o town. Maria darted down an ally once in town and to the docks. She dove into the water as Ruby caught up. Maria smiled under the water and waved as she swam deeper. Ruby saw a tail dissapear into the deep waters just shocked. Emma pulled up to the docks and found Ruby staring at the waters. "shes just jumped in and swam down. Shes a Mermaid!" Ruby said. "Actually shes a Siren" Henry said, holding open a book of myths and legends. Something hit the bottom of the dock and Ruby fell in, a hand covering her mouth. Ruby struggled till she realized she was breathing air, She looked in front of her and saw Maria motioning for her to follow. Ruby complied following the mermaid and they came up in a cave. Maria helped Ruby out of the water "sorry about that Miss Ruby, but I need to explain myself." Ruby nodded looking at the cavern "I'll listen if you answer my questions" she looked at the pirate who looked like she was about to pass out. Maria nodded and led the way to a ship named The Sirens Song. Ruby followed her. Maria sat at a table and took a swig of a drink in a bottle. "ask your questions" The pirate said, putting her feet up on the table and leanded the chair back. "How did I breath under water? What is this place? Who are you" Ruby took a sniff "are you drinking Rum?" Maria looked at Ruby nodding "Im Captian Scarlet a Siren Pirate. Im part mermaid which is why you and I can breath under water. This is my beloved ship. Jefferson will be here soon to take ya back to the surface. In the mean time, ll tell ya my story. Im a time traveler, a diminshion hopper. Techniclly I died hundreds of years ago. I made a deal with Rumple when I was in the Enchanted forest. The deal was he would bring me here, if I ever came close the locker again. You can only cheat death so many and you both have secrets o hide under the full moon Red." Boots could be heard on the deck above and jefferson came into the captians quarters. "Ready to go. Your being summoned" jefferson said to them. "Ruby don't tell any one what I told you" Maria said and walked out past Jefferson "oh and ruby, I might come by Grannies back door. Jefferon put the rum down" She walked out and jumped over the railing snd into the water. Jefferson led Ruby back up to the top deckk and threw his hat down and they jumped through the hat and came out at jeffersons house. He walked Ruby back into town. Ruby walked back to the sheriff station. "RUBY!" Emma said and hugged her "are you ok, how did you get here?" "Im fine, Maria saved me. I saw her before I blacked out and she was pulling me back to the surface."Ruby said and Emma nodded. Henry sat on the dock looking for a shadow in the water. Maria sat next to him "you called?" "Wheres Ruby?" henry said. "with Emma" Maria said "hey kid Im gonna go missig for a few days, till the full moon is gone." "Why" Henry asked. Maria put her hand out in the moonlight, her hand turning to bone "Im cursed. Its best if you stay away from me. Don't call me unless its life or death." Maria said slipping into the water and dissapearing into the depths. Henry watched his new friend dissapear. Regina pulled up by the docks "Henry get in the car" Henry did as he was told, he quietly hummed the song. "Where did you learn that song, Maria taught it to me. At the hospitol, before she jumped" Henry said and yawned. Regina nodded "stay away from her."Henry ran upstairs to his rom to get some sleep. Ruby looked up at the moon it was almost full, she ran back to Grannies.
Regina went to Gold Pawn Shop the next morning. "who is she. I didn't bring her here" She asked Gold. "A Pirate who is in my debt."Gold said. "Why is she here" Regina asked. "techniclly shes not" Gold replied and ushered the mayor out and shut the door locking it.
The Dark One watched as a young woman dressed in pirates cloths was being dragged to the dungon. He senced dangerous magic around her, so naturally he followed. He watched as they threw her against a cell wall and locked the door. Maria glared at them as the left before spitting out the gag. "hello dearie"The dark one said sitting on her bed. Maria spun to face him. He smiled as he studdied her, it quickly dissapeared seeing the coin hanging around her neck. Maria stepped towards the intruder, going through moonlight. The moonlight revealed a skeleton looking at him. "who are you?" Maria asked looking at the imp before her. "Im Rumplestilkens of course" The Imp said. The Pirate erupted into laughter "and Im the queen of England." As she calmed down she began to hum an old sea shanty as her patience dissapeared. The dark one watched the pirate trying to place the curse on her "the Spanish Main." He said getting her attention again. The pirate nodded she had an attractiveness to her as she slowly started to sing. The Dark One listened "you're a siren" he said getting another nod. "gve me the dabloon and I'll get ya out of here Dearie" He said. "and break he curse on me" The pirate said "and you keep me from returning to the locker." The imp nodded and broke her out and was given the dabloone. "Pleasure doing buisness with you Captian Scarlet" The Imp said and dissapeared. Maria smiled and ran through the castle looting and stealing objects before jumping out a window and into the eversea below.
"what do you mean by shes not really here?" Belle asked. "Belle just stay inside tonight and you'll be fine" Gold said. Gold went to a back room and sat at his spinning wheel.
Emma paced the sheriff station trying to think. Mary Margret watched her "Emma what are we going to do?" "I don't know" Emma said sitting down at her desk. They looked out the window at the full moon.
