The Girl With The Blue Eyes (Killian Jones) #1

Chapter 20 For A Rainy Day

~Storybrooke (Present)~

I sat in the back of the truck with David and Mary Margarette. They were headed to the docs because Emma called them saying they were back in town. I was going to see my father and my brother. Baelfire. He doesn't know I exist. At least, I don't think he does. He was gone from the Enchanted Forest around the time I was born. 

The truck came to a halt and we all rushed out. I stayed a bit behind as I watched Ruby and a man helping my father walk. Emma was talking to Henry, then he turned to me and ran towards me. I wrapped him in a hug. 

"Hey kid. How was Boston?" I asked curiously. 

"Cool. I drove a ship." I chuckled. "Just like you do. My dad showed me how." 

"Your dad?" I questioned. 

"That's me." The man holding Rumple spoke up. He had short dark hair. He had stubble along his face. He looked to be about Hook's height. 

"This is Bealfire." Henry announced to me. My eyes widened in shock. 

"It's just Neal." He replied. "And you are?" I was at a loss for words. I didn't think I'd ever meet my brother. 

"Um...Phoenix. I'm your sister." His face turned to shock just like mine did. 

"My sister?" He said. "That makes no sense." I sighed and glanced over to Rumple then back at Neal.

"Well I'm the daughter of Rumple and the Evil Queen." I confessed. He stood there quiet. We all did. The silence filled the air and it was killing me. I never liked awkwardness. "I guess Rumple never said anything." I looked down at my feet. 

"Seeing as I was in a different realm, it'd be hard for him to." Neal said with a bit of anger in his voice. I could tell there was tension between them and I wasn't going to press the matter. 

"I was born around the time you went to a different realm. I only know because my mother told me." I awkwardly chuckled. "It's a long story that I'd be happy to tell you once we get everything sorted out with my mother and Cora." Neal gave me a smile. 

"Sounds like a plan." I looked over at Rumple. 

"Now what happened to you? You look terrible." 

"Your bloody pirate, that's what. He needs to be on a leash." I rubbed my forehead in confusion. 

"Hook? He was in Boston? When the hell did that happen? I just saw him the other day." I never questioned when Hook disappeared. He would do it all the time in the Enchanted Forest. He always came back. "Where is he now?" Emma looked away from me. I scoffed. "Why is it always you that does something to the one I love?" I raised my voice. 

"He was trying to kill Rumple. We were trying to save your father." Emma snapped. 

"Oh yeah, I doubt that. Why bother? Without him, our lives would probably be easier!" I regretted the words as soon as they came out. I looked over to Rumple and he looked hurt. "Father, I didn't mean that. I was angry." He held his hand up. 

"I'm not mad, dear. I understand." He said. "Take me back to my shop. I've got magic there that can protect us." He started towards the truck without another word. David helped him hop in. I guess I'm walking. I looked over to the ship. Wishing Hook would just walk down and come kiss me. I can't leave the town. Emma could, but she won't help me. I'm not sure what to do about it. 

I sighed as I made my way to my father's shop. Emma, Neal and I arrived at the same time. David and Mary Margarette were already there. My father was lying on the bed in pain. It didn't feel good to see him that way. He might not have been there for me growing up, but I didn't want anything bad happen to him.
