Chapter 2/? : Disney Got It All Wrong

Salty air. Blowing wind. Wood cracking. Unstable, swaying from side to side, ground. The sound of the waves clashing against something.

When she woke up, Emma immediately knew where she was. Though she had no idea how she came here. 'What am I doing on a ship…?' she wondered. She opened her eyes to see a white ceiling. Turning her head she saw a table, few shelters and a bookshelf.

Emma pushed herself up on her hands and looked around. She was lying on the only bed in the room. 'It's probably the Captain's cabin' she thought.

Her head hurt. "Ow… I must have been knocked out with a hit on the head," she said aloud, massaging the top of her head. "God… What the hell happened? The last thing I remember, I was on my bed thinking about—Neal! It's probably all is fault!" she thought back.

Then she heard someone opening the door. "Hello Love!" Her eyes widened in shock. She knew this voice. And that stupid nickname. She turned around and saw Killian walking toward her with a gentle smile. "Did you sleep well?" he asked, sitting on the bed next to her with an eyebrow raised.

Emma reacted quickly. She threw her fist at his jaw and punched him. Killian fell on the bed, holding his jaw. Emma stood up and quickly exited the cabin by the door. She arrived in a corridor with another door in front of her. 'Where do I go? Right or left… Left, take the stairs Emma!' she thought quickly. She climbed the stairs and arrived on deck. The crew looked at her weirdly.

"Swan," Killian said, emerging from behind the wheel on the Quarter Deck. He licked his lips as he was rubbing his jaw slightly, and smirking.

She turned her eyes to him. "What the hell am I doing here? Did you abduct me? You freak!" Emma asked. Killian laughed at her reaction and raised his two arms to surrender. In the daylight Emma saw something flashing. She looked at his left hand, the false hand had been replaced by a sharp, shiny hook. "Who are you?" she asked harshly, stepping back.

She arrived in the arms of another man, who wrapped them around her waist. She turned her head and saw the man smiling with black teeth. "Isn't that a pretty wench?" he breathed on her.

Emma looked the other way, winkling her nose. "God! Ever heard of mint?" she groaned. When the man adjusted his grip, Emma tried to get out. "Let me go!"

"Leave her alone Tom," Killian ordered him.

The man released her and stepped back. "Aye Cap'ain," he obliged.

"I recall asking you something," Emma remembered him.

Killian stepped toward Emma and nodded toward the stairs, leading in the cabins. "Let's go talk in my cabin alright?" he asked.

"I'm not talking with you. I want answers now! What's going on here?" Emma snapped, getting angry.

"Just, get down. I'll explain everything to you," Killian simply said. He stood next to the stairs, waiting for her to get down first.

Emma sighed, threw her hands in the air and got downstairs in the Captain's Cabin. A few seconds later, Killian joined her, closing the door behind him.

"Now, are you going to tell me what the hell happened?" Emma screamed. "What the fuck am I doing here?"

Killian sat at his desk and explained himself. "I was never going to give you horse riding lessons," he simply said.

"What…? Who are you?" Emma asked, dumbfounded.

Killian showed her his hook. "I am Killian Jones. But most people have taken to call me by my more colorful moniker… Hook," he presented himself, grinning.

"Captain Hook?" Emma asked in disbelief. She clearly remembered watching the Disney version Peter Pan when she was a child, and that Captain Hook had nothing to do with the handsome Killian Jones in front of her. 'What happened to the waxed mustaches and perms?' Emma thought.

"Ah I see you've heard of me," Hook said with his trademark flashy smile. 'Well for a pirate, he sure has white teeth,' Emma thought, then shook her head slightly to get those thoughts out.

Emma rolled her eyes. "What do you want from me?"

"Well seeing that you're quite the most popular princess in all the realms, I'd say I have a lot to win by abducting you Love," Hook said, getting closer to her and biting his bottom lip

"And you surely know that if you get caught before getting what you want, you're going to die right?" Emma informed him.

"Aye Love. But I won't fail," Hook said confidently.

"You are really confident of yourself," Emma remarked. He simply smirked then walked out the cabin. "Hey!" Emma called out. Hook turned to her with a cocked eyebrow, waiting for her to speak. "You still didn't tell me what you wanted from me,"

"I am a pirate, Love. And a pirate lives for two things: love and revenge. I've lost my love a long time ago," Hook muttered that last part, making it harder for Emma to understand. "Now it's only a matter of time before I get my revenge, and you, Swan, are going to help me get it,"

"And how could I help you getting that?"

"Simply by being yourself. Don't worry Love, you won't get hurt in the process. I promise you, you will get back to your parents safe and sound within a short time," Hook promised her.

"So you're going to protect me?" Emma asked.

"Aye,"

"But I can take care of myself. I don't need you," Emma defied him, crossing her arms.

"What happened with my mate on the deck tells me otherwise Swan," Killian proved her wrong with a smirk and biting lip. Before she got time to answer, he continued. "Now, you are going to stay here because I don't want you having to deal with someone else today. Don't come out until I tell you to Love,"

"But!" Emma got up.

"No but Swan. Go to sleep, I'm sure your head still hurts," Hook recommended her then left.

Emma sighed and sat back down on the bed. 'Well, if I have to stay here and get bored, might as well sleep…' Emma thought. She did have a painful headache, but she wasn't ready to admit Hook was right. She removed her boots, her jacket and her pants then got under the covers. The minute her head touched the pillow, she was asleep.

~~~~~~CS~~~~~~

When she woke up, it was dark outside. 'What time is it? I must have slept at least a few hours,' she thought. Suddenly the ship shook violently.

"What the hell was that?" Emma wondered aloud.

Above her, she could hear the crew running on the deck. She even could hear Hook's voice as he was giving the orders to the crew. She couldn't hear everything he was saying but apparently they were being attacked.

Emma stood up and walked to the door. Slowly cracking it open, she passed her head and looking into the corridor. From there, she could see the crew running around the ship.

"Prepare the canons!" Emma heard Hook above her. "Mr. Smee, go check on the princess. Make sure she doesn't come on deck,"

Hearing that, Emma quickly retreated in the cabin and sat back under the covers, not wanting that Mr. Smee to see her in panty. She heard a hard knock and the door opened.

"Princess are you alright?" Mr. Smee asked.

"Yes. What's happening?"

"It's nothing Princess. Don't worry, Captain Hook has dealt with this situation more than once. Everything will be perfectly fine," Mr. Smee explained. "Now, I have been ordered to keep watch on you so you won't go on deck. Can I trust you with that?"

Emma nodded. "You can go help your Captain. I won't move," she assured with a gentle smile.

"You're sure Princess? I can stay with you, it doesn't bother me,"

"No it's okay. I will stay here and you'll go help on deck. I'm sure they need you more than I do," Emma said.

"As you wish Princess," Mr. Smee said, turning around and leaving the Captain's Quarters.

Emma was actually surprised. She could detect any lie but she herself was a very bad liar. And though, Mr. Smee had believed her as if she was the best liar to ever exist.

She waited a few minutes then made her way to the door. It was locked. Of course. Why would Smee trust her? He must have seen through her lie after all.

Emma made her way to the desk and searched through the drawers. She found a metallic paper clip and took it. Then, kneeling in front of the door, she thought, 'It's all about the tumblers' She remembered that day Neal had taught her to break in somewhere. She managed to open the door and left the room.

Slowly making her way to the deck, she stayed hidden on the stairs so she would look at the scene before her. Unfortunately, it hadn't been a second that someone caught her wrist and brought her back in the Captain's Quarters. She turned around and saw Hook frowning at her.

"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" he yelled at her. "Do you want to get yourself killed?"

"I just wanted to see what was happening, that's all!" Emma yelled back.

"When I told you to stay in here it was to protect you! We're being attacked. I sent Smee to check on you, he came back saying you would leave the room. Why did you leave when I told you not to?"

"I was just trying to be helpful. I can fight!"

"No you can't. You said it yourself, you've been in this land for a short time. These guys upstairs are not some guards you can train with, these are Pirates. And pirates fight dirty. You don't want to get into that mess," Hook groaned.

"Look I don't care I just wanted to see. I was curious," Emma said.

"Well now it's finished. We managed to get them to retreat. Just, when I tell you to stay in here, stay alright?" Hook asked.

"You've got no control over me! Do you think I'm some wench from a bar you can charm and make her do whatever you want?" Emma accused him.

Killian looked at her body and smirked. "Well Love, seeing how you're dressed, I can surely imagine," he said with an eyebrow raised.

Emma looked at herself and remembered she was still without her pants. 'Oh god, this is awkward," she thought. She tried to get passed him to get her pants but Hook quickly blocked her against the edge of desk.

"Hook let go of me," she ordered him.

"Or what?" he asked, getting dangerously near her mouth.

"You'll lose the other hand," she whispered against his lips.

Hook looked down and saw her with a dagger she had found on the desk in her hand, ready to cut off his right hand. He smiled and leaned back.

"You bested me," he said, licking his lips. "Good," he simply said. Then, he turned around and walked out the room.

"Hook?" Emma called.

"Aye?"

"When could I go outside?" she asked. She had understood that he was keeping her in here so she won't get hurt, so she wasn't so reluctant to listen to him now.

Hook turned around and gave her a gentle smile. "Put on your pants and join me on deck," he said before leaving.

Emma smiled to herself. She'd get to breathe fresh air again and for that she was happy.

~~~~~~CS~~~~~~

"Is the sea always so calm?" Emma asked to Hook as she leaned on her elbows against the ship.

"Aye," Hook responded. "Except when there's a big storm, but I usually outrun them," he then added.

"Since when do you live on the sea?"

"Ever since I was a young lad," Hook said. "But tell me Love, you seemed to know me when I told you who I was. Since you're new here I can't imagine you heard of me with rumors," Hook said.

"No. In the world where I grew up, there were a movie and an animated version about you and Peter Pan," Emma simply said, staring at the water before her.

"A movie?"

"Oh it's um…" Emma thought about it, remembering that the Enchanted Forest didn't have TVs. "It's a lot of images that defile so quickly that it looks like there's only one that's moving," Emma tried to explain.

"I'm not sure I can imagine such a contraption but if we were to go in your world, you'd have to show me Love," Hook said, smirking. "So… In this movie, what was I like?" he then asked, getting closer to her.

"Oh… Um… The Captain Hook I know certainly doesn't look like you,"

"And what does that animated version of me look like?"

"Well he's dressed with a red coat and a red hat. He had waxed moustaches and a perm…" Emma simply said, walking away from Hook to go on the upper deck, next to the wheel.

"You'll have to show me that character Love. I'm sure you've noticed, I'm much more handsome," Hook said as he followed her.

"You do realize you are the men with the biggest ego I've ever met?" Emma teased.

"Oh I'm just stating the obvious here Swan, my ego's perfectly fine thanks for it," Hook said leaning on the railing.

"Hook?"

"Aye?" Hook answered, cocking a brow.

"Earlier you said you'd lost your love a long time ago. I suppose it's not easy to talk about but–" Emma was cut off by Hook who straightened up quickly and said,

"I don't wanna talk about that now Swan," he then left her and went to join his crew downstairs.

Emma stayed there, watching the moon reflecting against the smooth waves of the sea.

"Don't worry Princess," Smee said from the wheel.

Emma sighed and turned around. "Why aren't you downstairs with the others?" she asked.

"I already ate earlier and I'm on sailing duty," Smee said.

"You're Hook first mate right?"

"Aye I suppose I am. But we've spent so much time together, the Captain, the crew and I, that it's as if everyone was his first mate. Around here, everyone has lost his family so the Jolly Roger is our home. We're one big family," Smee explained thoughtfully.

Emma smiled. "That's quite a passionate speech, Smee. You must really like them uh?"

"Of course. I've been on the Jolly Roger for more than two hundred years," Smee said naturally.

Emma's eyes widened. "Two hundred years?" she asked, her mouth agape.

"Neverland makes people stay young Princess," Smee explained.

"Oh. I see," Emma nodded. "So you've been with the crew and Hook for two centuries. No wander you consider them as your family," she said thinking back at her own family.

The family she had known for a year now. Even though she discovered the truth only a few weeks ago. Emma turned back to lean against the railing, thinking about Snow and David. They must be so worried right now. Just when they finally find their daughter after 28 years, she disappears right away. What about Henry? Everyone must be searching for her at the castle…

~~~~~~CS~~~~~~

When they arrived in the Emma's chamber, they found the room completely turned upside down as if a cyclone had past. The bed and its sheets were torn apart as were the curtains, and the furniture was completely broken. The glassed doors than led to the balcony had been forced opened, and more important… Emma was nowhere to be found…

"Where is she?" Snow asked horrified at the view before her.

"What happened here?" David said at the same time. He looked at Snow and stated the obvious, "I think someone abducted her,"

"But who? I mean, she stayed alone for a few minutes only!" Snow said, a tear falling down her cheek slowly.

David stepped closer to her and collected her tear on his thumb. "Don't worry Snow, we will find her. You know my moto right?" he asked with a gentle smile.

"I will always find you…" Snow quoted him.

"Exactly, and it's not only for you but everyone in our family. I will never give up Emma after we just found her," David said.

"Maybe we should call Regina, she could make a locating spell that will lead us to Emma," Snow proposed.

"That is an excellent idea. I will go at her castle right away," David declared, hugging his wife good bye.

"Be careful Charming," Snow pleaded him. "You're my only hope in finding Emma,"

"Don't worry about me you know I can take care of myself. Now, go take care of Henry I will be back tomorrow a dawn," David promised.

Snow nodded and David took off toward the stable where he saddled his horse and left the castle in direction of Regina's. The sun was already starting to fall behind the hills and he knew he had to leave now if he wanted to arrive there not too late.

When he arrived at Regina's, later that night he entered and went directly in her bedchambers, knowing the former queen would be asleep at this late hour.

He knocked on the door and heard the sheets shuffling behind it. Seconds later, Regina appeared as she opened the door.

"David? What are you doing here?" she asked sleepily.

"Emma's gone," David simply said.

No need to say more, Regina opened the door more to let him enter and she sat back on her bed. David sat next to her and starting to explain everything that had happened since Emma had come back from her riding lesson.

"Wait, Baelfire is Henry's father and he wants to see Emma?" Regina stopped David to make things clear.

"Yes and Rumplestiltskin said that if she didn't he will cast a dark curse to punish us," David repeated.

"What? But he can't do that! What did Emma say?"

"She doesn't know about Rumplestiltskin's threat. She ran to her chambers when she refused to see Baelfire," David said. "And then when Belle had told us everything, we decided to go and find Emma to explain it all to her. But when we arrived in her bedchamber, everything was turned upside down, the windows were broken and she was nowhere to be found,"

"Do you have any idea who could have abducted her?" Regina asked.

"No. But Snow and I hoped that you could make us a locating potion to find her?" David asked.

"Of course yes. I'll just need about an hour to make it. You're free to rest in the guest room before you go back if you want to," Regina proposed.

"Thank you Regina," David said with a smile, getting up from her bed and starting to walk toward the guest room. Suddenly a bird arrived at the window. He went to pick it up and took the small message that was attached at its leg.

"David,

I don't know what happened really. Emma's still missing and I just found out Henry's too. He wasn't in his chambers when I went there and when I asked Red if she had seen him she said she hadn't seen him since Emma came back earlier. His chambers were in the same disastrous state as Emma's. I think whoever abducted Emma, took Henry too. Please tell Regina we might need two locating potion.

Love, Snow."

As he read the letter, David slowly turned to Regina and announced, "Henry's gone missing too,"

"What?" Regina exclaimed, standing up faster than her shadow.

"Snow just sent me a message saying that Henry's chamber where found in the same state as Emma's and Red said she hadn't seen him since Emma came back," David explained.

"We need two phial of potion," Regina declared. "I'll need two hours. I'll come in the guest room when I'll be finished. Go rest," she said, storming out her chambers.

Listening to her, David made his way into the guest wing, hoping the locating potions will work.

~~~~~~CS~~~~~~

As Emma was still watching the waves, she felt something cool touch her shoulder. She turned her hear to see a shiny hook. Following the attachment, she found the owner's eyes which were looking at her gently.

"Are you hungry? I imagine you wouldn't want to eat with the crew so I took a plate in my quarters," Hook declared.

"I'm not that hungry," Emma said coldly.

"Swan? Are you alright?" Hook asked. The concern clear in his voice.

"Yes. I just… I think I miss my family," Emma admitted.

"Maybe you'd like to see your son?" Hook proposed.

Emma gave him a faint smile. "If only he was here," she said sadly. "Wait how do you know about my son? I never talked to you about him," she said defensively.

"Henry's on board," Hook simply said.

"What?!" Emma jerked away from him. "What the hell is he doing here? Did you abducted him too, you psycho!" Emma yelled at him. Hook shook his head but Emma hadn't finished. "What the hell were you thinking?! The seas are nothing for a little boy! My little boy! He's eleven Hook, are you insane?" she yelled.

"Calm down Love," Hook said gently, trying to calm her.

"I am calm! I am perfectly calm! Don't you see I'm calm?"

Hook shook his head another time, and sighed. "No you're not Swan,"

"Then if you want me to calm down tell me why you took my son!"

"You asked me to," Hook simply said.

"I'm sorry what?" Emma asked, not believing what she was hearing.

"When I took you yesterday, you said you couldn't leave your son. So I took him along," Hook explained.

"You are really insane, you know that?!"

"I just thought some company wouldn't be bad to you," Hook said. "If you want to see him he's resting in the cabin next to mine. He already ate earlier with Smee,"

"Are you kidding me? You're telling me that not only you kidnapped my son along with me but you also forgot to tell me he was awake and perfectly conscious earlier?" Emma cried.

"You were sleeping when he wasn't," Hook simply stated. "Now go see him instead of fighting with me," he said.

Emma stayed there a few seconds before throwing her hands in the air and storming downstairs to see her son.

~~~~~~CS~~~~~~

More than two hour after, David heard a knock on the door. He didn't need to stand up to see Regina opening it and coming to him.

"There, I have the potions. I just need something of Emma's and I already have something of Henry's," she said, holding up a scarf Henry used to wear in Storybrooke.

"I took something, it's in my bag. Wait up," he said, standing up from the bed and going in the corner of the room to take his satchel and opened it to reveal one of Emma's old shirts.

Regina threw the phial's content on Emma's shirt and Henry's scarf. The two objects started glowing and floating in the air.

"Go and follow Emma's shirt. I'll take Henry's scarf," Regina simply said. She took the scarf before it goes away and went back into her chambers to dress up.

Meanwhile David was already on his horse following his daughter's shirt in the meadow. After sometime, he arrived near his and Snow's castle, or more precisely near to the docks of his kingdom.

There, the shirt continued the road on its own, above the sea. Not one minute after, Regina joined him, on her horse too. Henry's scarf was also going above the water.

"What does that mean?" Regina asked. "We can't continue anymore,"

"It means two things. First, Henry is certainly with Emma. Second, I would bet my reputation the both of them were abducted by pirates," David said

"What are you going to do?" Regina said.

"I'll go back to the castle to talk to Snow and I'll send a royal ship after them. They won't get away so easily," David muttered the last part before running away toward the castle.

Regina turned to the sea and contemplated the reflect of the moon on the waves. "I know you're out there Henry, and I won't stop looking for you. I promise I will get you back and those pirates will pay," she declared.

To be continued…
