The Lonely.

Chapter 3: worse

" I know this must be hard for you..." He broke the silence.
"Being here, with them..... And me...." He added to her non existent response.
"Your not so bad," she replied looking up to meet his gaze offering him a weak smile, her head still on his shoulder.
"I know we didn't have the best first impressions in the Enchanted Forest-" he started but was cut of by her input; "or In Storybrooke..."
"Or in Storybrooke," he repeated carrying on with his speech.
"But I'm sorry for lying to you, and betraying you..... Multiple times....." The more he spoke the more he realised he'd betrayed her.
"Your forgiven." She said simply.
"Really?"
She nodded against his shoulder and he looked forward smiling.
"Well.... Your majesty, I'm honoured. " he laughed.

Their little moment was rudely interrupted by shouts from the upper deck and the rough movement of the ship against the strong waves. She lifted her head of his shoulder and looked at him; "I guess we should go see what all the squabbling is about," she suggested standing from the bench. "After you," he said walking up behind her and placing his arm around her waist again. It surprising didn't bother that much this time. Once they made their way upstairs an eye roll was all the group received from the Regina as the charming tried to control the ship.

"What the hell are you two doing?" Regina questioned walking up to the pair she'd spent most of her life trying to kill.
"Trying to keep it steady." Her step daughter answered.
"Hold on!" Was all Regina could hear coming out of David's mouth as hook ran past her placing his hand on her shoulder briefly in the process.
"Prepare for attack!" Hook declared trying to control his ship as the ex queen stood next to him.
"Be more specific."
"If you've got a weapon, then grab it." Was all hook hook to say before he was thrown away from the wheel. Regina quickly helping his rise again. Emma looks at the pair and scoffs at the sight before questioning; "What's out there? A shark?! A whale?!"
"A kraken!" Was David's only Input receiving an eye roll from the mayor as she's dealt with this kind of sea creature before.
"Worse...." Hook started. "Mermaids."

"Mermaids?!" Emma repeated in confusion. The conversation could barely be heard over the screeching noises the mermaids where making.
"Yes, and they're quite unpleasant." The pirate explained
"You think?" Regina added sarcastically pointing to the angry fined things attacking the ship.  "I'll try and outrun them." He explained.
"How many of them are there?!" Emma questioned getting less hopeful by the minute. "
"I will not be capsized by fish!" David grabbed  a spear, a chain, and gun powder and put it into a cannon and aimed it at the mermaids. Meanwhile hook tried to keep the ship afloat and Regina held on for dear life. She hates boats.

After a few minutes Mary Margaret shouted to the other members aboard "We caught one!"
"One? There are dozens of them." Regina realises unimpressed. After another failed attempt to hit the mermaids Regina mumbles. "Enough of this." She creates a fireball and throws them at the mermaids. The mermaids scattered. "There. They're gone." She said with a proud smile
"Not all of them. What about that one." The short haired woman blurted. Regina teleported the mermaid on to the ship tired of all this un-needed effort.

"Get that thing off my ship!" Hook shouts over to the crowd.
"No. Now we have a hostage." She looked at him with a reassuring look in her eyes.
" I hate to say it, but I'm with Hook. Those things just tried to kill us." David breathed.
"And perhaps we should find out why." Regina inquired.
After a little argument between Mary Margret and the woman in blue the mermaid cuts them of my signalling a story through a large pink shell.
"Let me go... or die." The mermaid threatened.

"Stop the storm, then we let you go." David clarified holding a sword to them fishes neck. "that's more like it charming fillet the bitch." She agreed with a murderous smile rising on to her blood red lips.

Suddenly the ship looses its balance and the group where caught of guard all moving subconsciously with the ships movement. "Keep your grip, pirate." The prince cautioned.
"It wasn't me, mate! It was the ship! We're taking on water!" Killian explained.
"Now may I resume killing her!"
"No!" The charmings shouted in Union. 
"The queen is right. They've already tried killing us."
"Stop! That's enough! We need to think this through!" Emma confessed beginning to become jealous of the bond hook and Regina seem to be forming, or rather; reforming.
"I already have! There. That should stop the storm." The queen chirped as she turned the mermaid to stone.
"Regina! What did you do?!"
A huge wave was approaching the group the captain almost immediately looked in the direction of the queen, With good reason; their eyes connected for a split second before the wave hit directly where Regina was standing knocking her right of her feet and coincidentally; the ship. Everyone on the ships gaze flocked to the queen former position.

"Regina?!"
