Author's note: What did you guys think of the season premiere? Personally I found it awesoooome *singing* and Hook's last line "Actually I quite fancy you from time to time when you're not yelling at me" was just… No words to describe it ^^ To answer to TimonandPumba, the next update is right now :P

Chapter 7:
Emma was absently writing what her teacher was telling her. Incapable of concentrating on what he was saying. Her mind always wandering to the swashbuckling pirate. As hard as she tried, she didn't seem to get him out of her mind and that kept her away at night. She could hardly sleep, she woke up crying every night and was afraid to sleep again after that, fearing the nightmares she might have again. Horrid ones. The Rumple wanted to kill Killian haunted her. She didn't know why he wanted to, but in her nightmares, the only one actually, it was always the same.
She was on the deck of the Jolly Roger, enjoying the smell of the sea and the sun. Killian was at the helm, looking more handsome than ever. He was smiling at her with this beautiful smile that melted her, his blue eyes brighter than ever. Then it suddenly became dark, the sea became wavy and Rumplestiltskin appeared on the deck as Killian put her behind him in a protective move. The pirate automatically drew out his sword and the Dark One just laughed at him while he ripped his heart out crushing it to dust in front of Emma. Killian dead in her arms.
"Princess… Princess Emma…" her teacher's voice said.
"Hmm?"
"Are you listening?" he asked, exasperated.
"I'm not going to lie. I don't give a damn about what you're saying" she answered nonchalantly, not even looking at him. Luckily, her parents came in before he could cut off her head.
"How is it going?" The Queen inquired.
"All due your respect your Majesties, your daughter is being unbearable. She's never listening, she's sleeping and she's talking back."
"I'm not talking back, I'm being honest with you. That's all" she said, playing with her pen.
"See! I cannot work in those conditions"
"Take your day" The Queen gently said. "I'll talk with my daughter, while my husband is going to walk you back"
"Thank you, your Highness" the teacher answered, grateful. Once out of sight, Snow White turned to her daughter.
"What is troubling you honey? You've never acted like this before.
"Because I've always acted like the princess you wanted me to be. Which I can't bear, because it's too… I mean… It's not who I am Mother!" Emma explained, getting up "I don't feel comfortable in this dress. I don't fit in this world that is supposed to be mine. I don't like attending to balls and banquets where I have to dance with everyone. I'm sick of being hypocritical, I'm sick of seeing people act this way around me just to get in your good graces and then marry me! And still, you want me to find True Love. Why don't give me the same chance as you? You and dad met when you were running and you had stolen from him! How am I supposed to find my True Love in a ball room exactly? I want to go on an adventure, to experience real life, with real people!"
"Why haven't you told us earlier darling?" Snow asked, concerned.
"Because dad is fucking stubborn" the Princess answered, collapsing on her bed.
"Not words I likely want to hear coming out of your mouth, but I do understand your point of view."
It was true. Her father was stubborn, but all he wanted was his baby girl's safety. Snow was well aware of what happened between her and the pirate when her husband went to get her daughter. She could tell that she was hurt, she loved him and she didn't even have to tell her mother about it. It was written all over her face and Snow White recognized love when she saw it. They hadn't told her his ship was still docked and according to what she heard, the Captain was spending most of his days in the tavern.
"Honey? You should get some rest, I'll ask to wake you for dinner and you're allowed to put your pyjamas on" she said in a wink and Emma answered her with a thankful smile.
She had insisted on not being accompanied by guards. And that had surprise some of the new comers who didn't quite know her. This afternoon, the Queen Snow White was simply Snow White. One of her old outfits on, the white one, her favourite, her hair down. She was pure beauty and with the way the time was passing in the Enchanted Forest, she hadn't taken a wrinkle. She entered the tavern and asked her old friend to make everyone go, except Captain Jones. And Grumpy did it with pleasure.
"OK, out you good for nothing, Snow's demand. Everyone out! Wait, not you Jones!" he yelled through the tavern.
"I believe you wanted to talk to me your Majesty?" the pirate asked.
"Glad to see you're not drunk" she stated.
"You came just in time" he smirked "What is it I can help you with?"
"My daughter" she said and Killian swallowed hard.
"Your daughter…"
"Yes, my daughter. She loves you, you know"
"All due your respect, I highly doubt that. She clearly said she hated me"
"She wakes up crying on the middle of the night because she 'dreamt' about you being killed by Rumplestiltskin. Crying out she loves you. So I guess she does. Plus, as I found my True Love, I know what it looks like."
"Are you telling me I'm your daughter's True Love, your Highness?"
"No. But you do love each other. And she suffers of what she calls you 'betrayal'. You're the only one that can make her feel better."
"I'll try… Can I ask you a favour your Majesty?" he inquired and Snow nodded as he pulled a package out of his coat "Give her this please. It's something I bought her she loved. I guess she'd like to have it"
The Queen smiled at him and took what he was handing her, told him goodbye and left the tavern with a last smile to Grumpy and the other Dwarfs.
