The Captain's Daughter

Portal Home *Prt 1*

We had started walking again. I pulled at my sleeve hiding a wince. I had gotten burned by the room. You good Hayes? I looked at Snow and nodded. Fine. I said adjusting the sling. I'm gonna be happy when we get this looked at. I said and she nodded and frowned. Your arm. I shook my head. I burnt it last night building the fire, I'm fine. Emma looked back at me and raised an eyebrow, she looked worried. So Rumplestiltskin's cell- it looks like a cave. I said looking at Emma and she frowned some. Seriously? I nodded but kept moving. They said something about Cora and I looked down. I wondered why dad was working with her.

I looked up as the Queen came into my cell. What do you want? She sat a trey down on the bed. I have food for you, aren't you hungry? I'd rather starve than take anything from you. I snapped she looked Annoyed. Hayes I'm only trying to protect you, your father wouldn't be able to protect you from my mother. I don't want to be here! I snapped and she sighed. I will be back later, eat. The door closed and I was left with food and a drink. I felt angry, she was planning something and I didn't like it.

We got to his cell. I hid a shutter and swallowed hard before making myself walk into the cell. It's alright. I muttered  to myself walking in. They were freaking out how we couldn't find the ink until Aurora said it. It's a message, and I think it's for you. I frowned some and looked at the scroll he had written Emma's name over and over, until he had ran out of ink probably. I looked at Emma and then back at the page. I'm sorry what the hell is this?!? Emma looked at me and shrugged.

I had a plan. The next time the door opened I'd make a run for it. I waited by the door, a guard opened it and came in I took off out from behind him. HEY SHE'S GETTING AWAY! I turned and saw a couple other guards coming at me. I swallowed hard and took off. I kept going and didn't stop until I hit a dead end. But it didn't matter as a cloud of smoke engulfed me. When it cleared I was in front of the queen who was reclining on a chair, her legs over the arm. Very good, Ms. Jones. She said smiling she flipped her legs over and stood. Come with me. I frowned some but had no choice as she got ahold of my arm and started lightly pulling me along.

We were still looking for the ink. Emma was still looking at the page with her name on it. I had climbed up a wall behind Emma. I wasn't sure how I did it with one arm. I turned around as Mulan found the container but no ink. Aurora picked up a rock and threw it, hitting the wheel that shut the cage door. I turned as I saw Cora now had the compass. I took my other earbud out. Thank you Aurora, I couldn't have done it without you. I started slowly climbing down as they accused her of working with Cora. Oh don't blame her, she was only doing what she was told. I froze as it hit the ground. This was the second time I had ever seen a human heart. You took her heart?!? Emma snapped some. Actually, I did. I heard dad say my stomach dropped more. It was a gift. I stepped up to the cage door as Cora squeezed her heart. Dad looked at me, he lightly shook his head, his eyes flicking to Cora. Forgive us, we'd love to stay but, Storybrooke awaits. Dad shoved off the wall. Hook, wait Emma said quickly. I looked at her and then at dad as he actually turned back to face us. Please don't do this. I frowned more, I knew she was trying to reason with him, but she'd have to find a level he could agree with to actually level with him. My son is in Storybrooke, he needs me. I looked at Emma, she made a smart move, since she was trying to use the parent level trick. Perhaps you should have considered that, before you abandoned me on that beanstalk. You would have done the same. Actually no. I looked down, they sounded echoed and far away. I had to think of a way to stop him, to maybe actually think about what he was doing. I looked up as dad went to walk away. I ducked under Emma and grabbed the first thing I could reach. Which was the scabbard of his sword. He looked down to see what he was caught on and looked up at me. He hooked his hook around my wrist which only prompted me to get ahold of his hook. He stepped back over leaning closer and lowered his voice. Hayes, let go. No. I snapped some. Hook? He looked at Cora and went to say something but she smirked and waved her hand. I blinked and when my eyes opened I was standing on the other side of the cage, next to dad. Where are my manners, hook, we'll take your daughter with us. What? He asked about to laugh. I don't have a- she said so, and I pretend I had put the heart away already, but I heard her ask of her father was alive. Cora stepped up some and I felt dad's hand hit my arm some as he tried to get me between him and the door. But, she'll be our guide around the town, next time do not lie to me. Cora grabbed me and jerked me away from dad and the others.  No! I snapped turning trying to grab Emma, but it was way too late. She already had me down the hall some, and dad was with her. EMMA! I screamed but dad put a hand over my mouth as they both sushed me. You'll cause a cave in. Cora snapped. Good. I snapped and went to scream but nothing came out, I frowned as I went to again but still nothing. What did you do?!? Dad snapped and she smiled. It's a hex she can't scream and can't talk. Now, let's go.
