The Story Untold: The Pirate & The Princess

Chapter Nine: Hook

“Common Pirate. We have more questioning to do,” Prince Charming demands. I smirk and shake my head, still plotting my way out.

“Actually, you don’t. Go ahead, question me right here if you must,” I say frowning a little and I then put on a challenging smirk. That makes Charming walk up to the bars, trying to get me scared. I roll my eyes.

“How many times do I have to tell you mate? I am not intimidated by YOU,” I say, walking up close to the bars.

“Captain, Prince Charming, please stop,” Keira says quietly.

“Why?” both Charming and I demand simultaneously.

I glare over at him, and same does he. I glance to see what Keira was talking about, and I see… Snow White and a young man about the age of 14.

“‘Ello Love, lad,” I say, snapping Charmings attention to them, rather than me.

“Snow! What are you doing here?” Charming says.

“Well, Emma and Eliza went to Jefferson’s to get some information. I have been spending time with Henry. He couldn’t believe that the infamous Captain Hook was caught. He said he had to see it to believe it. So that led us here.” Snow says. I sigh in frustration and put my head back, walking to my temporary bed that is in this tortuous cell.

“We’re called the Pirates for a reason, love!” I call to Snow, who seems to be ignoring me.

“Common CAPTAIN HOOK, tell us your real name,” Charming snaps.

“Nope. Only my sister knows it, and so did my Milah. I only need my family to know, not any royals, mate,” I say, through clenched teeth.

The lad, Henry, and Charming give each other a strange look. As they make eye contact, the Prince gives the lad a sharp nod. The lad smirks and looks at me.  

“You’re Captain Hook, AKA Killigan Jones.The woman in the cell next to you is your sister, Keira Jones. You became a pirate because your brother, Liam Jones, died and it caused great pain. You later fell in love with Milah, and after she died in your arms, you wanted revenge for her. And you know exactly who killed her, it was your crocodile, AKA Milah’s husband. So, tell us who your crocodile is,” the lad, Henry I believe, states.

“How do you know my entire background, when, I don’t even know you?” I question him frowning.

“The book. It tells me everything I need to know about everyone,” Henry says, matter-of-factly.

“What is this book called?” I question.

“You’re get out of jail free card. All you need to do, since we already know everything, is tell us who your crocodile is,” Henry says.

I am shocked, but I need to hide it. The last thing to do is to show my enemies weakness. I fake my shock for thinking of something cunning to say.

“Secrets are just that, lad. Secrets. If you really know everything about me, then you know that Rumpelstiltskin is my Milah’s husband, ” I snarl, letting my emotions take over.

I look at Keira. She has a look that says, “You IDIOT!” I think about what I just said and realize I gave EVERYTHING away. I hear a victorious laugh.

“Thanks for the information, Killigan. Anything else you want to spill,” Charming taunts.  

“That lad is a troublemaker. What else would I slip,” I snarl, annoyed at myself.

“Oh, your new love, where your ship is, when you plan on leaving. That type of stuff,” Charming says, with happy grin.

I snarl and lay down on the bed, facing the wall. “I hate you,” I declare.  

“Suit yourself,” Snow says in a sing-songy way. I glare at her and she smiles sweetly at me. How dare she! I turn my head to face the wall again and start plotting.

“Oh, and Killigan, stop plotting your way out, nothing is going to work,” Charming says triumphantly.

“Just you wait, Charming. Just you wait.” I mumble.
