High Tide (Captain Swan)

Chapter 26 : Rescue

"Bloody hell, Swan please wake up." I heard. I felt like my whole body was in pain and I was extremely tired. Slowly I opened my eyes to see Hook, which did not surprise me that much.

"W-What... W-Where are... we?" I mumbled. He smiled as he saw that I was awake.

"In the Jolly Roger, going back to your castle." he explained.

"W-What about... Cora?"

"Regina is dealing with her right now. How are you feeling?"

"Bad..." I said, truthfully.

"Regina said we should use magic but she did not have time so it'll have to wait. Unless you know what to do..."

"I don't..." I declared.

"Then I guess you just need to rest, we'll be there soon and I'm sure someone will help you." he said.

"Wait... Do you know if Henry's okay?" I asked, probably souding more worried about him than myself.

"I heard he is. He's with your parents, he's fine. I'll let you rest." he said before walking away.

"Killian?" I said and he turnes around, looking surprised. I also was, I never called him by his real name.

"Yes, Swan?"

"Thank you." I declared and he smiled.

"You're welcome." he answered before walking away.

Too exhausted, I almost fell asleep the minute after he left. I must've hit my head real hard to feel that way.

I woke up and there was no one around. I took my time to sit up, as I still felt the pain all over my body. I felt everything was turning but it stopped in a matter of seconds.

The door opened to, of course, the captain at the moment where I was getting on my feet. He rushed to my side, probably to make sure I was okay.

"I'm alright." I simply said.

He nodded and I started walking a little around the room, trying to get rid of that weird feeling in my body.

"We're almost there." he said. "We'll just need to take a carriage to get to the castle." he explained.

"Yeah," I answered, a little off.

"You're feeling better?"

"A little," I answered and then sat on the bed again. "Do you know if anything happened between Regina and her mother?"

"I have no idea. Come with me?" he asked and I got back up. Not once had I pushed him back since I woke up and that felt strange and good, but more good than strange. I knew that at some point, my heart would win over my head and maybe it was starting to happen. Maybe I was starting to trust him?

The boat arrived at the docks and then I got with Hook in a carriage. He told me that my family was looking for me, but they had blamed Regina and that's why he got to her to save me. They would have no idea that I was already back and that, like last time, he brought me home.

We arrived to the castle and right before I got in and he started to walk away, I stopped him so he turned to face me.

"I know I already said it, but thank you. And forget what I said before, I would like to see you again." I admitted and then admired the smile that formed on his lips.

"Then, I will come back, Swan. I just hope your father won't want to kill me." he said, half-joking at the last sentence and I laughed a little. I gave him one last smile before walking in.
