Fallen for Darkness

Chapter 8: Late nights

Liam snuck outside. His mother never let's him out anymore since Killian went missing.

He was exploring through the forest when he heard the voice of a young girl around his age. So he decided to go see who it was.

There she was standing talking to a crow looking animal. She had red hair and was wearing green & black

"H-hello?" Liam said stepping forward, startling the girl

"What are you doing here?" She asked defensively

"I'm just trying to remember the forest" he answered

"Oh you're the Prince aren't you?" She sounded annoyed

"I mean, my older brother is more of a Prince than me, he's gonna be King. Well he's supposed to be king"

"You're Killian's brother aren't you?"

"Well yes, there something wrong about that?" He asked confused

"Guess not" the girl started to leave

"So what's your name?" Liam asked

"It's Zel- Kelly" she said

"Kelly, what a lovely name" Liam smiled

"Thanks Liam" Kelly left

Killian was finally allowed to roam around freely outside the ship and Leia decided to take him to the tavern

"Umm Swan, isn't this a bad idea?" Killian asked watching her pour him some rum

"I'll watch you, not like you haven't been drinking while on my ship" Leia assured

He took a cup, "so what's your story Leia?, surly you have something to share" the prince asked

"I have one, but what's yours?"

"Well I was born a Prince and grew up as one always. My father was around till I was 9, then my mother remarried an old friend of hers, Avery. when I was 10 I found out my father had another child and he left him at our doorstep, we're pretty close, despite him being named after my older brother" he explained

"Oh, I forgot there was an older one" Leia was drinking more than him

"So what's your story?" The Prince asked

"Well if I told you it wouldn't be a secret" she giggled

"Well I shared, shouldn't you?"

"I'm a pirate, I scar people, I've cut men's hands off, especially their dominate hand, makes them cry...... I ran away from home to get to where I am" she revealed

"A runaway?" Killian asked shocked before jokingly adding "I didn't think that you were the type"

"Yeah well...... I had my motives, parents were cowards" Leia said

"That's relatable" Killian said sighing

Leia laughed, "yeah, like you know how this is"

"My mother is forcing me to marry Belle, I don't want to" Killian said

"And why not marry her?, I mean you have EVERYTHING you could ever imagine" Leia said

"The royal life isn't all like that, it's all strick and cruel at times"

"I know....." Leia said quietly

"Huh?" Killian asked confused

"Umm nothing, I just need some more drinks"

*a few drinks later*

Killian was helping Emma to her room

"I don't need a Prince escorting me, that's been done long ago and ends badly all the time" Leia slurred

"I want to pretend I didn't hear that" Killian said, helping her in bed

"What?, scared you won't be satisfied with a former princess gone dark one?" Leia asked putting him close by his collar

"I've been complimented by past one-night stands, but I can make an acception with you" she said eyeing him up and down

"You're what?!-" he asked shocked

Leia rolled her eyes, "you haven't realized yet Jones?, I used to be Princess Emma Nolan, I go by Leia now" she explained

"B-but she died y-years ago, s-she killed her kingdom" Killian stuttered

"Well I'm not dead, now do you want a good night or not?" Emma asked

"You're drunk Luv, it's a terrible idea"

"You're no fun" she groaned
