Emma impatiently paced around the Jolly Roger, her arms folded staring at the dark, wooden deck.
"They should be here by now, they need to hurry up so we can go get Henry!" She snapped, still facing downwards.
"Emma calm down, I'm sure they'll be here soon." Mary-Margret soothed her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"I sent Killian to go find her 45 minutes ago! Is it really that hard to find someone who's on their way here anyway!" She vented, a frown appearing on her face as she thought of her son alone on an unknown island.
"I'm sure they have a very valid reason not to be back by now" David agreed with his wife as he strutted up to her and Emma.
Abruptly, Killian's voice came from behind them as he boarded the ship,
"Valid reason, alright!" He called, holding an unconscious Vera in his arms.
"What happened?" Snow questioned, running to comfort her sleeping daughter.
"I- uh, I'm not entirely sure, I just found her like that!" He lied, knowing how angry Vera would be at him if she woke to find her family asking about the man that had tried to rape her.
"I'll take her to the captain's quarters to rest, if you guys could please get ready to set sail?" Killian asked them and they all nodded. He looked down at Vera's face, it was riddled with sadness and hatred, which was quite an uncommon thing for the Charmings. He gently laid her down on his cot, taking a moment to look at her. She looked so peaceful, yet he knew inside her mind she wasn't. He walked swiftly back up to the top deck and began steering the ship.
"Is she ok?" Mary-Margaret asked, worried about the well-being of her daughter.
"Yes, I think she was just a little tired," Killian replied, putting on a fake smile " she will be fine once she's had some rest."
"Hook I'm sorry about before when I said you didn't have a valid reason not to be here, I shouldn't have doubted you."
"No worries, Swan." He smiled as he continued to steer the ship
********************************************
Vera stirred, subduing to the bouncing of the ship on the waves. She slowly opened her eyes and took in the beautiful wooden walls that surrounded her, the crimson red carpet that lay on in the floor beneath her entranced her eyes. She didn't have to wonder where she was, her sister had told her all about Killian's beautiful ship and all the adventures they experienced on it. Now, she was there too. She sighed, almost certain that her family would swarm around her to make sure she was okay because of what Killian would have told them. She sluggishly trudged out of the door and up to the top deck, where her family surprisingly just waved and smiled, telling her they were glad she was awake. She gave Killian a confused look and received a wink back,
"Thank you." She muttered under her breath as she stood next to him at the wheel. Suddenly, the ship began violently rocking back and forth.
"What the hell is that?" Vera questioned Killian, his face dropped.
"A kraken?" David exclaimed, steadying his balance.
"Worse," Killian remarked as Vera looked up at him in fear, "mermaids."
"I will not be capsized by fish!" David shouted, preparing the canon and shooting it into the water. Mary-Margaret and Emma threw the net into the frothing water,
"We caught one!" Snow yelled, hauling the net up.
"One? What about the rest?" Regina hollered, shooting a fireball into the ocean and making the mermaids scatter and retreat. Emma pulled the remaining mermaid onto the middle of the deck, the water still lashing over us.
"Get that thing off my ship!" Killian bellowed, nobody listened to him. The mermaid began to grin, and threatened them to let her go. She pulled a shell out from underneath her and blew into it, causing an ear-piercing sound to engulf the air.
"Filet the bitch!" Regina started, getting her magic ready.
"what did you do?" Vera asked her, panic-stricken.
"She's going to kill us!" Emma shrieked
The mermaid simply smirked "I don't need to kill you, you'll kill yourselves." Before she jumped back into the water, leaving them all confused.
Snow started shouting at Regina,
"You should have listened to me! We're all going to die now!" She screamed, soon followed by Killian and David shouting at each other.
"Oh Vera, you look so defenceless! They're not going to listen to you so stop trying! You always have to be the centre of attention!" Emma snapped in her ear,
"Oh you wanna talk about being the centre of attention? You're the saviour! Our parents are Snow White and Prince Charming! I am CONSTANTLY trying to live up to everyone's expectations of this family and i can't do it anymore! I CAN'T" Vera screamed, tears running down her face.
"Vera I-" Emma stuttered
"Oh no," Vera started, her balance faltering, "it's us, we're causing the storm!"
She ran to the side of the ship and stood over the edge,
"Vera, what are you doing?" Emma cried as everyone stopped and stared at her,
"If you won't stop for yourselves, do it for me!" She jumped into the sea, her head bashing into a large piece of metal, knocking her out cold.
"Vera!" Killian shouted as he pulled off his jacket and vest and jumped in after her, his heart racing. He plunged into the water, desperately looking for her.
********************************************A path of blood was spilling from her head as he pulled her above the surface and carried her aboard his ship. She lay there, almost lifeless, as they watched her impatiently. She began coughing, water spewed from her mouth and she grinned, weakly stating,
"Told you it would work, look! No storm."
They all looked up and noticed that the sky was clear and the waves were calmly bobbing up and down. She succeeded.
