Switched - A Captainswan AU

Prologue

Once upon a time there lived a young, innocent boy. He grew up with his two parents and an older brother in the Enchanted Forest. They were a happy family, the entire village thought so anyway. That was until the boy's father unexpectedly ran away one summer, taking the boy's brother along with him.

This left the boy and his mother to fend for themselves. The boy was forced to grow up faster than he should have been allowed, his childhood flying away in the cool breeze.

He went hunting with his mother and secretly stole bread from the market. He begged on the streets in times of need but despised the pity he received. He tried his hardest to make his mother proud of her now only son. But all of that work went in the trash once he turned 18 and his mother died of the plague.

Leaving Killian Jones alone and an orphan.

Once upon a time there lived a young, innocent girl. The girl grew up with her mother and father in the Enchanted Forest. The family of three may have looked happy, but not everyone was. The girl had always felt as though she never really fitted in, so at the age of 18, she ran away from her past and entered her future.

She ran until she ended up in a pub. A run-down pub, but a pub all the same. She ordered a drink, but before she could gulp down her shot, a man sat down beside her. The girl grew to like this man, she grew to like him a lot. They fell for eachother like raindrops fall from the sky.

Their love increased by the day, until it was suddenly cut short by a dark wizard. He was the man's father. The wizard was angered by his son's disappearance with the girl. So to get revenge, he took two things from her.

The first was her left hand.

The second was the man she loved.

The girl's heart could not take the pain. All the light in her life turned pitch black.

She replaced her stump with a hook and procured a ship. From there, she became the captain of a blood thirsty crew and spread fear among the realm.

That's how Emma Swan became Captain Hook.

Killian Jones got to his feet and walked away from his mother's grave with a forever resting frown upon his face.

His jaw was clenched and tears threatened to spill from their sockets. His entire family had been stripped from him, leaving him to starve on the streets.

Killian had been desperate for food ever since his mother's funeral only three days before. Unfortunately, he couldn't afford anything due to his horrific lack of money.

He needed to get a job, but nothing seemed to call out to him.
Nothing except the dinging bell of a docking ship.

Emma Swan dropped down from the wheel of her ship, the Jolly Roger, and looked around at her working crew. Her bright blonde hair cascaded down her back, slightly blowing in the wind. Her emerald green eyes shone in the sunlight, matching the gems on her corset.

Her first mate came up to her with a man trailing off behind him.

"I found him walking around the docks, Captain. He says he needs a job." The man in the red hat declared. She stepped around her first mate so that she was facing the new comer.

He had dark hair and bright blue eyes, one of his eyebrows curved upwards once he saw her. Anger slightly bubbled inside if her at the man's cheek. No one dared to flirt with the Captain.

"What's your name?" She questioned, resting her hook on her leather covered hip.

"My name's Killian Jones, m'lady." He spoke out in a deep, rich accent that made Emmas insides churn. He bowed before her, his bright eyes never leaving hers.

"And do you know who I am?" Emma asked, hoping to strike fear into the man's heart.

"Your Captain Hook, m'lady. Captain of the Jolly Roger" Killian's eyes scanned over the woman in front of him, his eyes trailing down and back up again to her face. He smirked, but her anger filled eyes put him in his place for the time being.

"That's right. So if you know who I am, you should also know not to look at me that way unless you want your throat sliced." Emma said bluntly, causing a young sailer behind her to gulp in fear. Killian's smirk flickered at her threat, but his confidence didn't waver.

"Terribly sorry, Captain. Forgive me for my bad form." Emma narrowed her eyes but nodded for him to continue. "I'm in search of a job and I was hoping you could supply me with one." He stood up straight, trying to look as strong as possible.

"I have been in need of another sailer, my last one made a few too many mistakes. You've got the job, Jones." Killian felt a small burst of accomplishment inside of him.

"You won't regret it, love."

"Just a little tip," Emma swiftly lifted her hook from her hip and put it under Killian's throat, threatening to cut. He froze where he stood and tried not to move. "Flirting will only get you on a date with the sharks. Watch it."

"Acknowledged, Captain." He whispered, their faces now merely inches apart. The entire crew was now looking their way.

"Good." Emma pulled her hook away from Killian and smiled evily at him, "Smee, show him to the crew's sleeping quarters and give him something to do. Everyone else, back to work!" The Captain turned on her heel and left towards her cabin, everyone continued with their jobs.

"Come with me, sailor." Killian pulled his eyes off of his new Captain and followed Smee below deck, leaving behind the place he had called home all his life to start once again as a pirate.
