Amelia's eyes flutter open as Rose shakes her. They find themselves in a forest... But not the forest in Florida. This one is... "Magical," a male voice says as he approaches them. "What is?" Rose asks the dark haired man with a slight beard to match.
He smiles at Amelia,"Your most random appearance." Rose and Amelia study the stranger. Older, but not too old to be attracted to. He has black hair and a black beard. The man's eyes are blue with a ring of gold in the midst of them. He wears a black leather coat and black underneath. His pants are black... Leather maybe. He wears black leather boots. What is missing about him? The girls wonder.
"You have a hook in place of your left hand? Curious, don't you think?" Amelia asks, sounding surprisingly bold. The man helps her onto her feet and shakes her hand with his hook,"Killian Jones. Lost my hand to a filthy crocodile. You are?" Amelia smiles at Killian,"I am Amelia and this is Rose." Amelia gestures to her best friend. Rose walks up,"Hi. We're following a compass needle aimlessly. Wanna come?" Killian nods,"Two young ladies wandering around an unknown forest alone. Someone's gotta protect you lovely ladies.
I appreciate women with independent minds. The lot of you have either died or stopped thinking for yourselves. But not you. No. You're too strong." Rose whispers quietly to Amelia,"He's talking to you."
"You can come... One condition," Amelia says, sounding much bolder than before. Killian dips his head, "Anything." Amelia smirks, "I get to call you Captain Hook." Rose smiles,"That's actually a really good nickname!" He nods,"Why not? It makes me sound fierce, and I get to spend more time with you ladies." Amelia blushes as he looks deeply into her eyes. She quickly looks away as they begin following the needle again.
Rose hands Hook the compass, "Do you mind leading? We have no clue what any of this is. Like what if I accidentally walk off a cliff, or into a pile of poisonous snakes? Then who will take Amy shopping? She chose some crazy biker outfit today. Imagine that for eternity!" Amy laughs from a distance as Hook smirks.
"Well maybe we should lead you to the cliff now, because I wouldn't change a thing about Amelia's attire. The women around here wear huge dresses and gowns. I hate that. But you, Amelia, you're exceptional," He says, smiling slightly at Amelia.
Amelia stares at Hook with a sense of wonder as he stares at her with a sense of amazement. Rose steps between their stare off. "Hello? Guys! The compass is broken! We've been walking toward some dock this whole time and now the compass stopped," she crosses her arms. Amelia and Hook shake off their daze and glance at the rustic stopped compass needle.
Hook stares ahead, his eyes lightening with wonder. An excited smile appears on his very handsome face as he speaks softly,"It's stopped because we're where we need to be." Hook faces them and exclaims,"Come on! Follow me!" The three start running toward a large red ship decorated with yellow accents. On the side of it, the ship proudly wears the title The Jolly Roger. As they approach the dock, the infamous Captain Hook helps Rose step onto the ramp leading up to the ship. She walks up without stumbling and steps onto the ship.
Amelia shakily steps onto the thin wooden ramp. "Like this," Hook whispers as he holds her curved waist. As his hand gently clutches her side and his hook rests on her hip, Amelia sees him focusing on her safety in the corner of her eye. He begins to walk them up the ramp slowly. "Cap'n! Wave!" A small man in a ragged red beanie yells from the ship. Hook and Amelia look over as a wave shakes the ramp. "Ah!" Amelia gasps as her feet dangle above the ocean.
Her teeth sink into her bottom lip as tears flow from her eyes. She looks at her waist and finds two arms wrapped around her. A hook has pierced her tank top. As Captain Hook pulls her up, she lets out a soft cry. The hook scratches across her stomach, drawing a small amount of blood. He sets Amelia down, releasing his tight grip and removing his hook from her tank top. Hook notices the large scratch across her abdomen,"Sorry 'bout that, love. When are you gonna learn to quit being clumsy?" He chuckles and winks at her. They slowly walk up the ramp and climb aboard the ship.
"Oi! Cap'n. I'm taking the bright eyed lass down to the kitchen. She says she wants to make something by the name of 'Cupcakes.' How curious, right?" The same man with the beanie states as he walks Rose down to the kitchen. "Good work, Smee!" Hook exclaims. "Aye- aye, Captain Jones!" Smee yells. Hook looks at Amelia and yells back at Smee,"It's Captain Hook now."
Captain Hook grabs Amelia's hand,"This way." He leads her down a dim-lit hall, into his room. "I saw the scratch I gave you. Don't think I won't mend it," he says seriously. Amelia holds down her tank top, "No. I'm not going to let you be scarred for life. I should thank you for the scratch. You got rid of some of the large amount of fat on my oversized body." Hook looks into her eyes sincerely,"You're not fat. I'd much prefer a girl with meat on her bones than a skinny, hour-glass shaped witch. I like a girl with more than a flat stomach... A strong mind." Amelia smiles as a tear runs down the side of her cheek, "You're very charming. Did you know that?" Hook smiles,"I do now. Please, may I?" He gestures to her wound.
Amelia moves her hands as Hook looks at the wound through the tear in her tank top, without lifting it up. He dabs some form of alcohol along the line of the wound and hands her a strip of white fabric,"Here. You wrap this along the wound so I won't see anything. When you're done, I'll have a new shirt ready for you."
Amelia holds the fabric in her hands as Hook exits the room. She wraps it around her wound and ties it in the back flatly. Hook knocks on the door,"Are you done?" Amelia pulls down her tank top,"Yes. Come in." He approaches her with a large black shirt with white stripes going horizontally across itself. Hook notices Amelia studying the shirt. "Smee made it for me. He loves stripes, but I don't wear them. I'll be on the deck. Come out when you're done okay?" He says as he hands her the shirt. Amelia nods as he exits.
