Chapter 9 Squid Ink

~The Enchanted Forest (Past)~

"So what do we have going on today?" I asked Hook as I got to the helm.

"It's been a few months. The Evil Queen might have calmed down a bit since then. We're going back there." I nervously swallowed.

"What are we going there for?" I asked.

"Someone owes me a debt, and it's time I collected it." He turned the wheel, the forest came into view. I was hoping I'd never set foot back here again.

"Who owes you a debt?" Hook grinned.

"Prince Charming. They wanted passage to the Queen's castle at one point. I gave them it in exchange for the Dark One. He was in their dungeon, but giving them passage made me a target for the Queen, too. Long story short, I helped them get away." I smirked.

"Wow, my pirate did something good." I said and kissed his cheek. Hook shook his head.

"Last time I ever do that." We finally pulled ashore and stopped the boat, throwing the anchor in the water.

"I'm guessing they don't know you're coming?" Hook chuckled.

"And they won't know." The Evil Queen said as she appeared. I'm in trouble. "I heard you were coming back." She said to Hook.

"What do you want?" Hook snapped. I stood my ground, ready for a fight.

"Oh, nothing, you can help me with captain. It's her I was waiting on." She smiled wickedly. Hook turned to me.

"You know her?" He looked at me confused. I hesitated on telling the truth.

"Everyone knows her..." I trailed off. I didn't want to tell him just yet. I was scared to. 

"Oh, just spit it out, child." My mother commanded, but answered anyway. "She's my daughter. Little spitfire, isn't she?" She said in a condescending tone.  

"Daughter? That would have been good know." He grumbled. "Seeing as I said no more lies." 

"I didn't think we'd be coming back here. I never thought I'd have to tell you. I have no idea what she wants." I snapped. 

"Well, it's obvious she wants you!" Hook snapped. 

"Enough!" She said loudly. "I don't need you, captain." She said as she threw him across the ship, which knocked him out.

"Hook!" I shouted and was about to run towards him, but my mother threw something on me, and I couldn't move. My whole body shimmered purple. Squid ink.

"That's better. One more thing." The cuff appeared on my wrist, rendering me powerless.

"What the hell do you want? You have all the power. What could you possibly need me for?"

"Not quite. I still need you for something. Shall we?" We disappeared in a cloud of smoke, then appeared in her dungeon. I felt the magic wearing off, but I could only move my hands. Guess this stuff has a shorter effect on me since I'm full of power.

"What are we doing down here?" I asked hesitantly.

"Trapping you, of course. You'll never see that pirate or the light of day again. Unless I need you." She opened the cage door and threw me inside. The magic wore off, but I wasn't quick enough before she shut the door. I was stuck once again.

"No, just stop! This isn't right! Let me out!" I tried to reach for her through the bars, but she was too far away. 

"Not a chance, sweety. I'm not letting you leave again." Then she was gone. I tried to use my magic to unlock the door, but it only shifted its position. I tried again and only flipped the lock upside down. I screamed in anger and kicked the door a few times, but it wouldn't budge either. The only way I can leave is if Hook rescues me somehow. Though I doubt it he will be able to, this place is heavily guarded.
