When Felix entered the cabin he shared with the queen, he already found Sophia on the bed, her head dangling off the edge, his cloak still around her shoulders. He chose to ignore her as he walked into the room. But only then did he realize that there was only one bed in the room, and of course he had to share it.

Typical.

"Something wrong?" she asked. He could feel her eyes on him even though he got his back turned to her.

"Nothing, I need some fresh air," he said, turning to leave the cabin.

"But you just came from there."

"And I'm already feeling sick again because of you," he snarled, opening the door and slamming it shut behind him when he'd walked through it. He didn't know why he was being so mean to her, but he just wanted to keep his distance from her. After what happened this morning he didn't really feel like himself anymore, and it was all because of her. He gathered that if she hated him than maybe that strange feeling would go away, because everyone hated him. He just wasn't used to someone being so nice as she was to him. Being hated was just easier to deal with than being cared for. At least in his book.

Felix made his way to the upper deck again, noting that there was no one else there. The sky was completely dark except for the moon and stars, shining brightly as they lightened the darkness around him. He stared walking around the deck, not sure where to go but neither caring as long as it wasn't back to that cabin.

"Isn't it beautiful?" he heard behind him, causing him to jump and turn to the voice. He sighed when he saw Sophia standing there, his cloak tightly wrapped around her shoulders. Probably against the cold. She was looking absently at the sky before looking at him. "It reminds me of the night you took me," she said in a soft voice, a slight smile on her lips.

"Okay," he said coldly, turning and continuing walking around the ship before stopping and resting his arms on the railing. He didn't hear her as she came to stand beside him, he only knew she was there because he saw her.

"Captain Swan offered me something," she said suddenly, her eyes cast on the waters below them.

"What did she offer?" he asked when she didn't continue.

"If I wanted I could join her crew, she would show me the world and I would be able to return home whenever I want."

"To bad you can't," he said as soon as she was done talking. "You may not be locked away or something, but you're still my prisoner."

"That's where you're wrong." His head snapped to her, seeing her smiling to herself as she stared ahead. "She promised me that it was my choice, that she'll defend me if needed."

"Then why are you telling me this if I don't have a say in this anyway?" he snarled. "Do you just want to rub it in that I failed?"

She turned to him fully, a soft smile on her lips. She held out her hand, tilting her head slightly. "Dance with me."

He looked at her hand for a long moment before taking it. He didn't know why he took it, but as she stepped closer, her hand on his shoulder and his on her waist, he was only glad that he did. Slowly, they started swaying on the music of the waves, the blow of the wind. The feeling he had the night he took her came back to him, the feeling he had when she danced with him. That feeling that made him feel light on his feet and warm inside.

Without thinking, Felix removed his hand that held hers to rest on her waist as well, pulling her just a bit closer. Her other hand came to rest on his shoulder. Sophia's eyes were glistering in the moonlight, her dark hair dancing through the soft wind as it passed. She may be childish, annoying, naïve, but she was also kind hearted, beautiful, brave, sweet, smart, mysterious-

"Can I ask you something?" she said, her voice as soft as the wind that passed them. Felix nodded in respond. "Do you want me to come with you?"

"Yes, I ha-"

"No," she cut him off, shaking her head before looking him right in the eyes. "Do you want me with you?" Felix stayed quiet for a moment, feeling a lump form in his throat. But then she rested her head on his shoulder, whispering, "Because I want to."

His arms tightened around her, even if he didn't want them to. Having her close felt natural, felt as if he could breathe in this world without air. But it didn't matter how it felt, how he felt. What did mattered was, was that he had to get her to Pan. How didn't matter. Still, as the words left his lip, it felt as if he spoke truer than he ever did before.

"I want you with me," he whispered, his nose and lips brushing against her hair.

"Then I'll come with you," she replied. Felix couldn't stop the small smile that formed on his lips, neither could he stop it when he began to lean down, pressing his lips to the skin of her cheek. His eyes closed as he lingered there, feeling as if he could stay here forever and just be fine with it. Sophia lifted her head a bit, causing him to open his eyes again as she looked at him. After a moment he found himself lean in, wanting to close the final space between them. When she leaned in as well he closed his eyes, but just when their lips were about to meet, she stopped.

Felix kept his eyes closed, hoping that maybe she would kiss him after all. Sadly, that wasn't the case as she pulled back further, stepping back as well. He opened his eyes, looking at her with mixed emotions as she did the same.

"I'm married," she whispered before turning and disappearing below deck. The words sounded as if she needed to remind herself more than him. It also sounded as if she was sad that she was, that she rather not be.

And what the hell was he thinking?!

Felix walked to the railing, crossing his arms over it before burying his face in them. "You idiot, you stupid idiot," he muttered to himself. "she's the queen, she's married, what the hell were you thinking? She is nothing to you, why the hell-"

"Talking to yourself again, I see," Hook said from behind him, causing Felix to groan. Hook came to stand next to him, but he didn't look up. "What's wrong, lad?"

"My life," he muttered.

"My guess is that it has to do with that dark haired lass, does it not?" Felix finally looked up, glaring at Hook. "I take that as a yes."

Felix sighed, looking away from Hook to fix his eyes on the waves below. "What do I do?"

"Depends."

"On what?"

"What you're feeling right now."

He sighed again, closing his eyes. "I don't know what I'm feeling right now. It feel like I'm dying inside, but also as if I'm flying. I feel light, but conflicted. I feel light, but at the same time do I have a weight on my shoulders. I want to have her close, but at the same time do I want to keep my distance. It's confusing as hell, and it is all because of her."

Hook hummed to himself, looking before him as well. "It sounds as if you're having a battle between your mind and your heart."

Felix glanced at Hook. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Your mind tells you what is the best choice, while your heart tells you what you want."

"And how exactly does that help with what I have to do?" Felix grumbled hopelessly.

"Well, now that you know where those feelings and thoughts come from, you can chose which one you're going to listen to."

"But how do I know which one to listen to?"

Hook straightened himself. "That's up to you," he said, patting Felix's shoulder before turning and disappearing below deck.

Felix stared at the waves that were lit by the bright moonlight. Hook was right, although it pained him to admit it. He cared about the queen, more than he thought he was capable of. And he may say he hated her, deep down he knew it was far from the truth. He just didn't know how to deal with those feelings, the need to protect her, the need to care for her. He just didn't know, which led to him being mean to her, even though hurting her was the last thing he wanted. But that was the battle Hook spoke about. His heart wanted to care for her, wanted to have her, but his mind knew it would only end bad if he gave in. His mind told him to be mean to her because caring meant he could get hurt as well. And still, he want her, even though he knows what that meant for him.

What was he supposed to listen to?

His heart or his mind?


Caligo never got why people loved the ocean so much. It was just salt water that could drown you in a matter of seconds. Creatures that could kill you lived within it. You couldn't even drink it if you were thirsty. It was simply a useless gigantic pool that was nothing but dangerous. Still, men marveled over it. But to Caligo, it was simply an annoying thing that made traveling from land to land more annoying. It was why he always traveled in dragon form when it came to crossing the ocean. Plus, he could see so much more from high up.

Caligo narrowed his eyes when he saw two ships in the water below. He flew higher so that the clouds were shielding his massive dragon form, but could still see the ships. As he used his magic to better his vision he could see that one of the ships was the Jolly Roger and another he didn't recognized. In other words; it was Sophia's father and probably her mother as well.

He was about to dive down and see if his Sophia was on the ship when someone came into view on the deck. Caligo flew a bit closer, but still out of sight, focusing on the person.

Felix.

He bared his teeth, already feeling his fire burn in his throat. He was going to kill him, burn him alive, make him suffer. Caligo was about to attack the idiot of a Lost Boy, when he saw his queen walk over to him. With curiosity Caligo studied them. to his surprise Felix was being rather cold towards her, at least the Author turned him back into the Lost Boy from before the curse.

But of course, Sophia was still Sophia, and she seemed to be specialized in softening people. It was exactly what she did. Caligo saw her hold out her hand for him, and he took it. They started dancing, which angered him to no end. No one was allowed to dance with his Sophia, especially not Felix. And although he was raging with anger, he stayed where he was in the clouds, not making a sound. He would get his revenge. When he has his queen back he was going to kill that bastard, and make sure that Sophia would never want anyone else. He was sure he was going to enjoy both those things very much.

Win, win situation, right?

He then saw them slow they're dance, just swaying in each other's arms. And then, Felix started to lean in, about to kiss his queen. He was about to roar at them to make them stop when Sophia pulled away from him, stepping back, saying something, and disappearing below deck. Caligo grinned as he watched Felix. Sophia was to loyal to betray him like that, she would never kiss Felix as long as she was married to him. A thought that really overjoyed him.

As he watched the ship he noticed Hook appearing and talking to Felix. So Sophia's father was indeed there, meaning that her mother must be too. Maybe he shouldn't take his queen back immediately, maybe he should have some fun first. If he waits longer with getting his queen she was probably going to learn that Felix would only break her heart, he was only going to cause her pain if she stayed longer. That would teach her. And those parents of her, wasn't her mother expecting? Well, now that she helped his queen get away from him he supposed that she didn't deserve that second brat either. He thought he could be merciful and only take Sophia from her, but after this he'd changed his mind.

This was his world after all, and everyone belonged to him as puppets.
