The Captain's Daughter

Sleep Over Game

Emma *same night from prt17*During dinner I went upstairs with a grilled cheese cut into triangles and a little cup of tomato soup with a sprite. This was one of Dani's comfort foods. I hoped it carried over to Hayes. I walked over to my bed where she laid facing a wall. I knew she was awake just by how she was breathing. She was also crying. Hay? She twitched as if she wanted to look at me. But didn't move. I have a grilled cheese and soup with your name on it. I walked over and sat her food down on the nightstand. You wanna talk about it? I asked sitting on the bed. I frowned some as I saw her compass necklace that she had given Hook. Did your dad give you your necklace back? She sat it down on the night stand before moving her hand back to her. Hayes what happened? She shook her head and I sighed some. Ok, kid, I need you to talk or something, I- I sighed some. Do you want me to get Ho-NO! She snapped I stopped and nodded. Ok. I said nodding some and then sighed. I won't bring it up until you are ready, but just try to eat something ok? She glanced over at the plate and I sighed. Ok. I said before moving her hair and kissing the side of her head before standing up and walking out.***The next morning I got put on guard duty. I sighed some as I grabbed my sword to which Emma frowned. You were just hiding that? Yeah. Henry can't know. I said as we went to the bug. Hey, you forgot this. She said putting my necklace on. I froze, restraining myself from ripping it off. I got into the car. You never told me what happened. I thought you said you weren't going to make me talk. Yeah but- She sighed some. I am just a little worried, because I care and also knowing you, you internalize everything, and we all know how that ends. You promised you'd never bring that back up, it was a year ago! I snapped she nodded. Ok. Sorry. It was silent for just a moment. Maybe you should talk to Archie? OH MY GOD! Why are you grilling me?!? She put it in park outside the apartment. Hayes. She said getting ahold of my hand. You are- She stopped. A lot has happened in the last year, things you never fully got to process because those memories were taken from you. You have lost your brother, three different times, in a span of a year. You haven't actually talked about how you feel on the fact Neal's gone. Neither have you. She sighed. Yes, where that is true, my relationship with him was long gone. But you still wanna kill a witch because of it. Yeah I'd say they're long gone. She sighed some. You haven't even talked about how you are coping with the fact you have your father back. I don't need to. I snapped and she frowned as I jerked away. He did just fine without me, and that's great for him! Because I did just fine without him too, I didn't need him! Maybe so much so, when you and Henry go back to New York, I'll go too. Hay- He didn't want me with him in the first place and that's fine. I snapped getting out of the car and slamming the door. I started inside. Hayes slow do-I can't I have to be on guard, for Snow, and Charming, because something is about to happen, again. I said and Emma sighed. Yeah well you need to know something. I frowned at her. Can it wait? I asked as I opened the door. I stopped, I gripped the doorknob, the cold metal dug into my hand. Caribbean. What is he doing here? I asked and Emma sighed some. I was trying to tell you, he was- She stopped as I shook my head, biting bottom lip. Ok, uh- How about we step out and have a talk? No. Hayes- I am not talking about this. I said trying to keep my cool but struggling. I felt the metal heating up. Are you alright? I glared at him as he stood. Emma a word? Yeah. She said looking at me confused, Snow and Charming followed them out I closed the door but stood there.

What happened yesterday? Emma asked I could almost feel dad shake his head. I don't know, she was fine, all first thing, she went here helped build a crib- correction she did build the crib these two tried. Hey, its not our fault those instructions weren't clear. She also used magic to do it. She still did it- Can we focus? Dad asked and Emma sighed. He's right, so she was fine here? Yeah normal Hayes, last time we saw her before the evening, she went with you and Ariel to go to Gold's shop. Ok what happened there? Nothing, we looked around the shop, Belle found a family heirloom that we thought we lost, and then- He stopped. She said she wasn't feeling well, so she went back to Granny's. And then the next we saw of her- she was crying, and her nose was gushing blood. And then she didn't talk to anyone except for a single word and then that was it. It was silent for awhile. Ok, as much as I hate to say it, for right now until we can figure out what happened in the time that no one had her, we have bigger fish to fry. Emma- Hook I know, it's concerning but she's- She sighed. I've been dealing with the prepubescent mood swings for the better part of a year, it's not going to kill you to deal with a moody preteen for an afternoon. You say that, but you had Dani, who frankly is half way easier to deal with than Hayes. There it was. Me being the way I was, was because of me. I shook my head. I don't care stow it. and figure out what you did. I don't even bloody know! Killian. Right fine. I moved back away from the door as they came back in. Ok Hayes- Stow it I know. They all looked at me. Oh I'm sorry, it's not my fault your whispering is half shouting, your first mistake was bringing an Irish into the mix. She sighed some her facial expression was her tired mom face. Yeah I know. Ok just behave I have to go distract Henry, if we have any updates- yeah. Ok. She said before walking off.***For the most part nothing had happened. Until somewhere in the early parts of the evening Regina called and said something about finding out what Zelena was planning? I'll meet you guys over there. I said David frowned. Do you not want to ride over? No I can walk. I'll go with you. I glanced at dad suddenly standing at attention, hands behind my back and all. Someone has to go with you though. Hayes I highly doubt anything will happen from here over to Regina's. I looked over at David. Actually I think I will ride. Hayes- David stopped Snow and nodded. Ok. Shall we? They nodded some and then frowned at each other then dad. I just walked in front of them. Which may have been a mistake because I could hear their conversation. What's happening? I don't bloody know. She won't even look at you, and you don't know why? I'm not a mind reader mate, I have no idea what happened. I've never seen her act like this, even when you deserved it. Well thanks for that. I stood by the truck. I'll try to get her to talk, see if we can't figure this out. I shook my head. I couldn't let that happen. We got in and I sighed some as we started driving. I could hear their thoughts almost rattling around. One of us has to say it. I was hoping it'd be Snow, she knows how to handle things. David seems worried about it, I mean this is a big deal. So have you guys thought about baby names? I asked and smirked as their mood shifted.***By the time we reached Regina's they were arguing about names. Dad came into the parlor where we were sitting shortly after. Have they been bickering like this the whole time? I looked at him I almost felt my face twist up in annoyance. I looked over. Snow I'm gonna go see if Regina needs help. She didn't even look up. I sighed some and walked to where Regina was. The Charming's still battling it out? Yeah. I said and she looked over. I came to see if you needed any help. But you don't know this part of magic. I nervously tapped and slightly ran my hand over a chair. Yeah I just- I sighed some. Truthfully I need to do something other than listen to the pair argue and- pretend your father doesn't exist? I frowned some. Hayes we've all seen it. I sighed some slouching and turning preparing to go back to the parlor. What happened? I looked back at her and sighed. I may have used magic to dig a little too far into the past, to see something. She frowned at me. I've come to find I can view memories, if I focus hard enough. I pulled my necklace out from under my shirt. I found this, at the time I thought it was strange he wasn't carrying it with him but it makes so much more sense now. You didn't like what you saw did you? No. Honestly I wasn't shocked either. So now you're punishing him? I'm buying time right now until I figure out what to say or do or- I sighed some. I cannot tell you what you should or shouldn't do, only you know what you need to do. Run as far away as possible? She gave me this look. I know. Whatever happened, one thing is still clear, he does love you. Does he? She frowned. Hayes he fought so hard to get you back. Sure he did. But how many times when I was MIA did he go, all I need is my ship and my crew and everything is fine? What did you see? Exactly who he was. Or is- your tea is done. She picked it up. Smells delightful. It's a poison. I guess that's why. Excuse me? Sorry, not targeted at you or your history, just a bad joke. I said turning and putting the necklace back under. Sorry to keep you waiting. Regina said as we walked in. I sighed some looking at the table. I was making this special tea. I frowned some as she poured some and David went to drink it. NO DON'T! I held in a snort and a laugh. Drink it, it's a deadly poison for summoning The Dark Vortex. I prefer Earl Gray. The Dark, what? The afterlife. I said while picking dirt out from under my nails. Zelena came by this morning. Regina said I frowned. While The Dark One was stealing my heart, she was here gloating. She said sitting down. She said my weakness was I don't know enough about her past, so I decided to summon who does. We have to talk to my mother. Interesting. I muttered and she looked over. Hayes come join us. Oh no thanks, I'm all good on the front of speaking to your mother. I've done it like twice never again. But weren't you just saying you wanted to help? Yeah before I knew you were going to summon Cora! Hayes, just come sit down. I tensed up, Snow patted the chair next to her that sat between her chair and dad's. I sighed some walking over taking my sword off and sitting down while hanging my sword on the back of my chair.
