A Heart of Gold A Heart of Stone (Complete)

Chapter 72

Authors note: Thank you everyone for reading, this was such a hard story to write, due to my collab partner just gave up years and years ago. But I stuck with it and I fell in love with not only my character Coral, but my variant of Adelaide, (she was never called this and she was definitely nothing like how she turned out in this version) so im very proud of her and her outcome. Thank you! See you next time and enjoy the last chapter.

Jack Sparrow cleared his throat and Coral turned around, she smiled slightly and her hands ran down her dress.
"How do I look?" She asked, giving a slight twirl, Jack Sparrow smiled as he walked into the room and wrapped his arms around Coral.
"Like a princess." He whispered, Coral shut her eyes and hugged Jack Sparrow back.
"Thank you." She said, he pulled back and ran his hand through her now curly long hair. "Dad... Do you think I can do this?" She asked, Jack Sparrow nodded and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Yes, you are a pirate that's true. But you were born to be a princess." He said, Coral smiled up at him as there was a knock at the door. They both looked at the door and Hook was stood there, Jack Sparrow kissed the top of Coral's head before walking out, he stopped and turned to Coral and bowed.
"I'll see you down there, missy." He said before disappearing around the corner. Hook walked in and Coral smiled slightly.
"You look like a true princess." He sighed softly, Coral pursed her lips together. He stopped in front of her and brought up a necklace, she tilted her head to the side and Hook chuckled.
"This belonged to your mother." He explained, as he unclasped it and placed it around Coral's neck before doing it up. "And now it belongs to you." He said, Coral placed her fingers along the pendant and smiled before turning to face the mirror. It sparkled in the sunlight and she turned back to Hook before giving him a hug.
"Thank you, thank you for being my father." She said, Hook's eyes began to water and he hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry I was so harsh on you..."
"It's okay, you were just protecting me." She said as they both pulled back and smiled at one another until a chime was heard throughout the school.
"Well. I should get going also, don't take too long. I will see you down there." He said, she nodded and he gave her one last look before leaving her alone in her room. She turned back to the mirror. She no longer had short dark hair, but longer lighter brown hair. She had a tiara on that glittered brightly with every move she made. She was wearing a royal blue off the shoulder dress which had silver sparkles all over making it glittery. She smoothed her dress down and someone cleared their throat. She teared her eyes away from her reflection and turned to see Hans smiling at her as he leant against the wall.
"You look beautiful." He said as he walked forward before bowing, she chuckled and curtsied before he raised his hand and took hers. "Are you ready?" he asked, Coral hesitated and he smiled at her.
"Can I do this?" She asked, Hans nodded.
"There isn't anyone else I would rather follow." He said, he wrapped her arm around his and patted her hand before leading her towards the door however she stopped and glanced back at her bed where her pirate hat, sword and coat was. She stared at them for a moment before glancing at her reflection, she let out a sigh and turned to the door allowing Hans to guide her towards the hall. The two talked quietly and Coral's worry began to grow as they came to a stop at the door. Pitch and Clayton were stood there and nodded to Hans before bowing to Coral.
"You scrub up good princess." Clayton said, Coral lowered her head in embarrassment.
"But you are worthy of your title." Pitch added, she glanced up at the two teachers and felt her eyes water, she blinked back the tears and let go of Hans arm before wrapping her arms around Pitch and Clayton's neck. She shut her eyes and smiled slightly as their eyes widened in surprise.
"Thank you, I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for you both..." She whispered, Clayton and Pitch exchanged looks before chuckling and hugging the princess back.
"You're very welcome." Clayton said as she let go of them and took a step back taking Hans arm.
"Now show them all how great you truly are Coral." Pitch smirked Coral smiled brightly and they opened the doors for Coral, Hans walked forward pulling Coral with him.
