True Loves Journey

Nostrumnia

A/N warning to innocent readers:there are books that are way more graphic. Part of this chapter will never happen again. I just needed another reason for Emma to try to avoid hook for the next chapter to work. And you guys needed to know why she was avoiding him so there wasn't a plot hole. K? K. Sorry if I slightly corrupt your mind with this chapter.

"Miss swan?" I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see mr.smee, Hook's second in command.
" mr.smee. What is it you need?" I say politely(smee is actually a gentleman unlike a certain captain.)
" just came to tell you that we'll be making port in nostrumnia in about 3 hours. The captain will be a little harsh, but that's just him preparing. " smee said.
" ok. Thank you mr. Smee. " I say and turn back to the water. It looks so beautiful. It reminds me of Ariel, one of my mothers old friends. Mom... I still picture her worried face as she held my screaming child... Henry... I would hate it if he had to grow up, not only without a father, but without a mother as well. I had to talk to hook. See how long it would take to leave this pirate port, and get in and out of the one kingdom I didn't want to go to. Not yet anyway.
I headed down to the rooms below deck and knocked on the door labeled with "captain".
"What!?" Said hooks voice.
" I need to ask you a few questions." I yelled through the door. I heard foot steps and the door swung open.
"Princess. What questions must you ask such filthy pirate?" He says sarcasm dripping off his voice.
" it's about making port. First, how long will we be at the pirate port?" I ask rather rudely.
" 2 days." Hook replied.
" and how long will it take us to get to the dark one?" I ask.
"Judging on the coordinates you give me, about 10 days.
" and how long to get back to my kingdom?"
" a month."
" what!?"
" you heard me. We'll have to make multiple stops on the way back, so, about a month." He yells.
" a month and 17 days. At least." In that time, so much could happen back home. Henry's birthday is next month... My baby might turn 3 without me there with him. My parents anniversary is next month. My anniversary should be tomorrow...

I run through the door and to my room. I collapse onto the bed and start sobbing. Sobbing for my son. My deceased husband. My parents who are probably worrying themselves to death. Sobbing for the kingdom that must deal with broken rulers. Sobbing for the families still struggling from the war. Sobbing for the rest of the widows who were left with children. Sobbing for myself. Not knowing what is becoming of my home, family, and friends.

I laid there for about an hour. Finally a soft knock can be heard on my door.
" swan?" Says his accented voice.
" what!?" I yell trying to hide the pain in my voice.
" may I come in?" The voice says again.
" I don't care." The door slowly opens to reveal his beautiful face. His sea blue eyes. His midnight black hair. His shinning silver hook. He steps forward and closes the door behind him.
" what?" I say again a little less harsh. Since Neal's death, I had started putting up walls around my heart. But, this man, this pirate, has walked into my life and started tearing them down. I can feel them falling as he walks closer to me.
" Love, I'm sorry if I made you cry. I-I haven't dealt with women in over 300 years. " he says. As of  right now, he is almost on top of me, he is standing so close.
" 300 years?" Another wall crumbles to dust." You don't look a day over 25."
"Aye. I spent 300 years on neverland." He says. His eyes glaze over and he grimaces as if recalling a horrid memory. " never Mind that. We're not far from nostrumnia. I better go captain my ship. " he says backing away from me. He backs out the door and I watch as he goes up the steps to the deck. I fall back onto my bed. Why is he so gorgeous? Emma snap out of it! He's a pirate! Your a princess! It feels as if my mind and heart are at war. My heart says yes, but I'm forcing it to say no... I was so wrapped up in my emotion, I didn't realize that he too had walls that I was chipping away at while being completely unaware. 

An hour later, we are at port. We all climb off and onto the dock. Smee has given me a bag of coins to spend on clothes and food. I roam around with a few of the crew members for a few minutes, then see a wave of red long red hair run into a shop and flip the sign in to window to open.i follow the wave of red into a small boutique. I walk up the woman.
" welcome. I'm megara. You can call me meg." She holds out her hand for me to shake.
" Emma." I shake her hand," do you have any comfortable clothing? Anything besides a dress?"
" sure. Let me go find it. " she heads off into a back room. She comes out a few minutes later with a large black box. I open the box and see that inside is a red leather coat, what looks like riding clothes in black, and black boots with silver buckles. I also see a necklace. It's a beautiful charm with an emerald surrounded by tiny sapphires.
" I'll take it. " I hand her the bag of coins and go back to the ship. Once I reach my room, I quickly put everything on. The top shows just enough cleavage that it's comfortable, but not to flashy. I walk up onto the deck and a few of the crew members that are still on board stop and stare. I ignore them, and head for the tavern, where I expect the others to be.

My assumptions were proved correct when I heard the loud laughter and accent coming from the place before I even walk in. I follow the sound and find the crew. They all stop when they see me and stare. Even hook.
" quit staring you crazy lot." I command. All but one of them follow this command. The captain.
" well love, you look nice. Much better than that dress. " he says.
" well, I was tired of it getting in the way. " I say sitting down next to the captain.
" RUM FOR THE LASS!!!" Hook yells at the bartender who rolls his eyes and grabs a glass.
" oh no, I don't drink! " I tell hook.
" well, you do now!" He says and follows it with laughter. The bartender sets it down I front of me. I take a small sip and as it goes down, it burns my throat. But, hook insists I drink more, plus I'm extremely thirsty. So, I downed that glass. And another. And another. And another. And another. And, well, you get the idea. In all, I think I drank about 40 glasses in the amount of time we were there.

Later that night as we headed back to the ship, I was all up on top of hook. Flirting, and throwing out stupid pickup lines, but, he was doing the same. We did unthinkable things when back on the ship, and the next morning, I awoke in his bed, our legs a tangled mess under the blankets. His arms wrapped protectively around me.
I had a throbbing head ache, from a hangover, and we both stayed in that position most of the day. It wasn't until later when I realized what I had done. I had slept with captain Killian jones hook. I immediately got up. " oh my god..."
"Love? Are you alright?"
" no! I just slept with you! Of course I'm not alright!" I snapped. I ran out of his room and into mine. I fell onto my bed, and cried. No no no! He's a bloody pirate! I'm a princess! But... He so handsome and sweet, and- no!!! Forget him! Walls Emma! Walls! I lay there sobbing as I slowly put my walls back up. I wouldn't let him get through them again. I couldn't. I had to get back to my Henry. He was waiting. As was my parents. I was getting back to them. No matter what.

A/N before any of my more innocent readers decide to quit reading, there are books that are way more graphic. Part of this chapter will never happen again. I just needed another reason for Emma to try to avoid hook for the next chapter to work. And you guys needed to know why she was avoiding him so there wasn't a plot hole. K? K.
