Kaliah's P.O.V (Enchanted Forest)

I walked to the docks in my black leather pants, mid thigh leather black boots, my black cotton shirt, a black cloak that was too big that covered my pale face, and a dagger in my left boot. My old friend/father, Killian, or Captain Hook, wanted to talk to me. So I made my way to his ship, the Jolly Roger. I hadn't seen it for 2 years, the last time I saw it was when I was probably 15 years old. When I reached the docks I already knew which one it was, it's the biggest one.

When I reached the ship I stepped onto the sturdy deck. "Who are you?" A man asked. "I'm nobody important," I looked around for Hook but didn't see him. "Where's your Captain?" "In his quarters, he said not to be bothered." The man said, putting a big beefy hand on his sword hilt. If he wanted to fight he would sure be in for a surprise. "I would like to speak with him." I say simply. The man shook his head. "Sorry ma'am can't do that, leave, now." I laughed which obviously confused the poor man. "Sorry, sorry, it's just so funny that you think you can threaten me!" I exclaimed in between my laughter. Let's just say he wasn't impressed.

He quickly pulled out his sword and started to swing it at me, but I dodged all of them easily. He was getting quite angry. He had backed me up to the side of the ship. He was sure he was going to kill me but I grabbed a sword that was on the ground and swung at him. It was too fast for him, he may be bigger than me, but I was faster, much faster. I didn't want to kill one of Killian's crewmen so I just hit him on top of his bald head to knock him unconscious. All of the sudden I heard clapping. I turned to see Killian standing there with an amused look on his face. "Sorry Killian, but he attacked me first." I said in defense. "Kaliah, how many times do I have to tell you?" He asked me to walk over to me. "Don't apologize, you're an assassin for crying out loud. You literally kill people for a living." I chuckled lightly, "Yeah I guess you're right, it sounds pretty silly when you put it that way." He nodded, wrapping his right arm around my shoulders leading me to his quarters so we could talk.

He sat me down in a chair on the side of his desk with him sitting in the chair on the opposite side. "What did you need to talk about?" I ask. He sighs."I found a way to kill the Dark One, a special poison called Dreamshade. It is on an island called Neverland. I'm sure you've heard of it?" I nodded remembering the awful stories of the people who inhabit it. "Let me guess, you need my help retrieving it?" I say. He nods shamefully. "But you know the stories, so if you don't want to take the risk you don't have to." I shake my head slightly. "Killian, you have been like a father to me ever since I met you. I would never let you do this by yourself. Liam won't let you, so I will go." He looked up at me when I said, Liam.

I met them both when I was only 8 years old when they joined the navy. My father had beat me and my Mother, and I ran out of the house and hid in an alley. If it weren't for Killian I would have been dead. He found me and cared for me as if I was his child. But when he returned from Neverland, Liam didn't come with him. I cried myself to sleep that night, and Killian and Liam had talked about taking me in after they got back so Killian took me in. But when I turned 15 I left because of a boy named Atticus. I fell in love with him and he asked me to run away with him so I did, but after about a year a girl named Celeste arrived. She was so much prettier than me, she had; hair so blonde it was almost white, a thin body, always wore pretty dresses, she had bright blue eyes, and tan skin. So Atticus left me and got together with her. So I was alone, and one night I got offered a job as an assassin by a man named Ezra. And lucky me, my first victim was the worst girl ever.Celeste. I killed her happily and got 100 coins, apparently she was hated by most women for stealing their men. And I did it so well, I have come to be known as, The Silent Assassin.

He nodded. "Be back here in an hour." I stood up and made my way back to my room with all my supplies. I had a bag with two changes of clothes, four different daggers, an extra pair of boots, notebook with two pencils, and a book. And a cutlass Killian gave me for my 10th birthday.

An hour soon passed and I made my way to the Jolly Roger. When I got there I saw the man I had knocked out talking to a few of the crewmen. Please don't notice me..... I hoped. But with my luck, he of course notices me. He whispers something to the men beside him and all three of them have big grins plastered to their faces.That can't possibly be good.....I think making my way to the Captain's quarters. I knock on Killian's door and I hear his muffled voice say, "Who's there?" I smile to myself and answer, "The best person ever." I hear him chuckle before opening the door. "Remember where your quarters are?"I nod excitedly. "Yeah, I'll see you in the morning. Night." "Night Kai." He says using the nickname he gave me when I was younger. I made it to my old quarters and smiled when I saw that nothing had changed. The bed still had my little doll that I named, Lorelai. I took my boots and cloak off, sitting my stuff in the dresser against the wall, and I snuggled underneath the warm blankets of my bed slowly drifting off to a peaceful sleep.
