Pain.
That was the first thing I felt the moment I woke up. I ached everywhere. My head hurt the most. Holding my hand on it, I was thankful to see that it no longer throbbed. But my relief soon vanished as I felt panic rush through me. Memories rushed through as I remembered everything that had happened. I had fainted. Even worse I fail my queen. She would understand. Im sure she would, Im her most trusted assassin. But how could she when I failed to kill a simple pirate? But he wasn't a simple pirate, he knew of weakness that I wasn't even aware I had. If I explained to her i'm sure she would understand I thought trying to convince myself.
Sitting up slowly I studied my surroundings. I was lying on a small cot that laid on the ground. The walls were made of fabric, indicating that I was in a tent. How did I end up here? I had been in a ship when I fainted, not a tent. I stood up quickly but regretted doing so as I was greeted with dizziness. I held the thin tent walls to support me.
"Figures that you be up so early"
I almost fell when I heard the voice. By the tents entrance was a short pirate that I didn't recognize.
"You probably will be feeling a bit dizzy and tired for a while. We gave you a pill that will be keeping calm so you don't do what you did when you saw Hook. Its better then having your hands tied."
He said as he casually handed me a drink. Did he seriously think I was going to accept anything he gave me after telling me that? No wonder I felt so tired. And when he said calm he meant being able to hardly being able to even keep my eyes open.
I took the from and him and threw it on the ground. Or at least I tried too. My dizziness made me practically only being able to drop it.
"Hey don't waste that!" He said as he picked up the cup to see its condition.
"Its probably best if you sat down for a while. Hook wants to see you so I was going to bring you to him, but seeing your condition it would probably be best if he just came here. The name Smee by the way."
I didn't want to listen to him or be anywhere near Hook but I soon found myself sitting down anyways. As I sat down I put my head in my knees. I could still finish my mission. Hook was still here. I would just have to catch him off guard and then kill him. But my weapon bag is gone. All I had left was a prick that I used to unlock locks and a very small daggers in my shoes. It might be enough if I was able to knock him out. But if my condition stayed this I would never be able too.
With my head still in my knees I heard the footsteps come and stop at the tent. I didn't even bother looking up as they came inside the tent. It was obvious who it was. Just from the footsteps I could tell that they belonged to Hook.
"Feeling any better?"
I met his question with silence. I didn't even understand why he was asking me this. It was his fault that I was here in this condition. But it wasn't like he was in any better condition. You could tell from his movement that his arms were hurting him. He was avoiding using them.
"I told your parents that I was able to find you. They should be here this evening for tomorrow. Hopefully once you see them you'll be able to remember."
"There is nothing for me to remember" I said flatly.
"Thats the second time I heard you speak." He said smiling.
I met his smile with scowl. Nothing I said or did seemed to discourage him from taking to me.
"Id love to call you by your name but it seems to not be doing well for you. So how about you tell me what name is it that you use now, love?"
I stared at him feeling surprised. He was offering not to call me by the name I hated.
"I don't have one." I said in my surprise before I could stop myself from answering.
"And why is that, love?"
"Because I'm a tool." I said to him after debating on whether I should answer I'm or not.
You're far more important than that."
I only stared at him in response. Why say something like that? After all as far as I could remember I was the one who let him at beanstalk. Shouldn't he be wanting revenge for I had done? I felt tempted to ask him but I couldn't trust his answer. After all he's a pirate that nobody trusts.
"Well I guess I'll just have to call you, love for now. Okay, love?"
As if I wanted to be called a ridiculous pet name. I glared at him to show my dislike in the name.
"Ill be leaving now to watch for your parents. Smee might come back soon so give you something to drink. It be best for you to stay here for now." He said as opened the tents door.
"Don't bother bringing him" I said even though I know he couldn't hear me, since he had already left.
Closing my eyes I leaned against the thin tents wall. How was I going to fix this mess? If only I had been able to kill that bloody pirate then I wouldn't be stuck here.
"Well, well I will admit I thought you were better then this."
My eyes flew opened the instant I heard the familiar voice. Right next to me inside the tent stood Regina wearing her famous smirk.
I may be changing this story's rating in the next chapter. Not for langue or sexual themes, but for violence.
Also thanks for reading! I hope you all have a great Christmas!
