There Once was a Princess... (Hook x Reader)

Chapter 5

You, Emma, Mary Margaret, Mulan and Aurora are walking back to the safe haven, and Aurora is worried,

"I don't know if I can do this. I'm not a very good liar."

~LOL Me neither Girl I eventually stopped trying and dealt with the title "Goodie-Two-Shoes"~

"Well, it's not really a lie, Aurora. Lancelot did die and honorable death and Cora did escape. All true. Just...leave the particulars to us. There's no reason to cause unnecessary panic amongst your people." Mary Margaret explains to her.

~You mean leave the particulars to YOU... I'll screw it up in an instant~

"I'm not so sure it's unnecessary..."

"Yea mom... I'm kinda with Aurora on this one... a panic I think is COMPLETELY necessary..." you pipe in

"(y/n), panicking is NEVER necessary." Your mom scolds you.

"Ya know... Imma remind you of that next time you are panicking."

"Oh whatever (y/n)"

Mulan interrupts your bickering with some annoyingly loud frantic breathing... well as frantic as Mulan can get.

~If she's getting worried... something is seriously wrong~

"Wait. The tower. We always have sentries guarding the entrance. Stay close." She draws her sword. You mirror her movements and draw your sword as well, and Mary Margaret loads an arrow in her bow. You look around, and Emma takes the words straight from your mouth

"Oh. My. God."

"This can't be. Our land, we were protected here, hidden. How did the ogres find us?" Mulan wonders aloud

But by just looking at the bodies, Mary Margaret knows it wasn't ogres,

"Ogres didn't do this."

"What?"

"Cora did. Their hearts... they were ripped out. This was her magic... twisted and evil. We have to stop her."

~If stopping her entails that I end up like them... I think I'll just stick to going home and staying alive... I mean, what yall do is TOTALLY up to you though...~

"Too late. She killed them. She killed them all."

"We have to stop her before she hurts anyone else."

You see a pile of bodies start to shift, so you alert everyone,

"Hey. Hey, look. There's someone under there. He's alive!"

"Please." He pleas, and you go over and start to help him up,

"It's ok."

"Please, help me."

"It's ok. You're safe now, we won't hurt you." Mary Margaret tries to comfort him,

"Thank you. Thank you." He replies. You turn around and Emma is talking to Mulan,

"Have you seen him before?"

"Yes, I've seen him around. He's a blacksmith. Came to our camp a couple of months ago. Said he lost his hand in an ogre attack."

You take a glance back at him and you finally get a good look at him... he is thanking Mary Margaret for, some water. Sure, you'll admit, he's attractive, but nothing to get completely twitterpated over. Especially if he ends up being a jerk. You are snapped back to reality when Emma basically calls you out for not listening...

"(y/n), hello. Yoo hoo. Earth to (y/n)"

"hm? What? Sorry, lost in thought."

"Mhm. Ok. As I was saying, why would Cora leave a survivor? It's messy. It doesn't make sense."
