Once Upon A Curse

chapter 1

The enchanted forest

Ciara was wearing her signature blood red cloak shielding her face from the villagers as she made her way into the tavern. Once she had shut the door behind her, she letting her hood fall from her head. She scanned the bar looking for her love and furrowed her brows when she couldn't spot him.

She sighed when she felt cold metal wrap around her arm as it pulled her to turn around. She laughed as he pulled her closer to him by her waist so there was no space left between them. He leaned down and brushed his lips against her ear causing her breath to hitch slightly.

"Hello, love." Hook said as he continued to hold Ciara close to his chest. She smiled back at him and tilted her head to kiss his soft lips, tasting the rum he had been drinking.

"You started drinking without me?" Ciara teasingly asked as she pulled away from him. Hooks gaze drifted to her eyes as he gave her an innocent look.

"Now what gave you that idea love?" Hook said back matching her teasing tone as they took their usual seat at the back of the tavern.

"Hmmmm... I must be magic" Ciara replied as she shifter closer to hook and grabbing his flask of rum out of his jacket pocket. She smirked at him as she popped off the lip before taking a sip of the strong liquid that slightly burned the back of her throat.

"Aye love, that you are." Hook said smiling at her, admiring her features for the millionth time. "How long do we have tonight?" he asked as he leaned closer to plant a kiss on her shoulder.

"A few hours. My mother is busy looking for something I don't know what though." She said loving the felling of Hooks lips against her skin. "And your father?" Hook asked. "I havent seen or heard from him in months."

Hook pulled away from her and smirked suggestively "well then love, I believe we should take this back to my ship." Ciara laughed lightly before pulling him into a passionate kiss, using her magic she transported the to Hooks ship and continued their night of passion.

...

Later that evening the couple were laying in each others arms breathing heavily. Ciara bit her lip as she smiled and turned to look at Hook.

"Killian" she said softly as she cuddled closer into his side. "Yes love?" he replied whilst moving a strand of hair behind her ear. "I love you" Ciara stated while looking deep into his eyes. Hook smiled and kissed her gently before replying "I love you too my princess," the two smiled at each other and continued to kiss passionately before Ciara reluctantly broke the kiss.

"I have to go before my mother realises, Im gone." She said sadly as she got up from the bed to get dressed.

"Aye love, I just wish you didnt have to go." Hook said as he watched her movements around his cabin. Ciara sighed as she pulled on her cloak, "I wish I didnt either but my other is called the evil queen for a reason and I have to protect you from that." She leaned down to peck his lips once more.

"I know, Ill see you tomorrow love." Hook smiled as Ciara stood from the bed once again. Ill be back before you know it she said before disappearing in a cloud of red smoke.
