The Story Untold: The Pirate & The Princess

Chapter Three: Keira

I slowly follow as Killigan walks quickly over to some place. I look to the ground once we both stopped.

“Stop. I think we’re here.” Killigan says. I can almost hear the grin on his face.

“Thinking about your plot to kill Rumpelstiltskin, also known as, your crocodile?” I ask. I see my brother nod.

“Just be glad I’m not Liam. He would have stopped me showing off for his cursed king that he always so loyal to. I’m happy you're not like him, either. Two great siblings, running through the different Realms together..” Killigan says. I look to the ground. He turns around to see me do so and he walks up to me and gives me one of his comforting hugs. We don’t dare speak of Liam. I cry sometimes, and Killigan always fights back tears, except when he is mad at him, like he just was.

As he lets go of me, I see a figure of a man appear, but he’s wearing a strange-looking hat. I frown and cock my head at him.

“What’s so important that you just had to disturb me, Hook? And…. his sister?” He says.

“Many things, Jefferson, but, my sister does happen to have a name, and it’s Keira. Back down to business, we need to find a realm without magic. Do you know of such a place?” Killigan says.

“Yeah, but, what makes you think I’d help you?” Jefferson asks.

“Because. I’m a pirate. My sister is trustworthy.” Killigan says.

“And I am going to try to get the woman I love’s father to bless the marriage before I marry her. What makes you think I’d help a pirate?” Jefferson says.

“I’ll keep an eye on him while we’re there. Please?” I ask.

“And how can I trust you?” Jefferson asks.

“I may be a pirate, but I am honest and I’m Killi- I mean Hooks sister and I try to be his voice of reason out of unresoness.” I say.

“And How can I trust… the famous Captain Hooks’ sister?” Jefferson asks, again.

“She’s trustworthy. Take word from the pirate with a hook for a hand..” Killigan says.

“Alright. You realize that you guys have to hold hands, as you jump in, right?” Jefferson asks, looking at his hat. Hook nods and he grabs my hand and looks forward. I hold onto his hand and I look forward.

“You know that I’m always going to protect my little sister, right?” Killigan asks. I nod. Jefferson drops his hat in a spinning twirl and out comes a green vortex. On the count to three, both of us jump into it.

When we land on the stable ground, I look around. A small town at the docks. I look over to Killigan, whose smiling. “Ah.. So this little place is where he’s hiding.. Time to go and explore..” Killigan says and I shake my head.

“We have to rest, though.” I say, which makes Killigan shake his head. He walks into the town, and I chase after him. I look around cautiously. Everyone knows that there is an Evil Queen named Regina here.

“Ki- Captain… What if Regina is here?” I ask, scared.

“Well, I’m more concerned about killing Rumple..” Killigan says.

“Captain.. really? That is what we’re concerned about? What about Jefferson’s fate?” I ask.

“He’s none of our concern. It’s his fate, not ours.” He says as he walks forward. I don’t move a muscle. I feel hit with guilt. I know that Killigan has gone immune to the feelings of pain and guilt. Instead, I’m the sponge and I soak up all of it. Killigan is now about three feet away, and I keep waiting, for something to happen.
