Never Cursed -OUAT

Chapter 1

I'll never forget when my parents told me they were pregnant.  We had just started aging again 2 years and a couple months before, you see it wouldn't have been possible if not for The Dark One, the Wicked Witch, and The Evil Queen, strangely enough.  The Evil Queen tried to cast a curse a few years ago, but The Dark One had found me and told me that with the help of the witch's Zelena's powers and his own, they could counteract the curse.  It sadly froze them in place for 28 years.  So instead of 10 years old, I was really 38.  My parents, instead of 38, were 66.

But since time had stopped in this realm and except the one where the The Dark One went with his true love after taking the shoes off of Zelena's feet, no one aged at all, inside or out.  We only knew it was 28 years because that was what Rumplestiktskin had told us.  He didn't age at all, and neither did Princess Belle, but the man they had with them, they man that the dark one said was son looked about 16 versus 14.  We grew up as friends, and then one day I had a kid.

Baelfire, didn't know about him because he was off exploring the realms with his father and new stepmother.  No one knew about him but the doctor who delivered him, so I gave him up.  When Bae came back into my life he had met someone new, but although we had already broken up, I still loved him.

Then one day, on my 28th birthday, I was out walking.  Clearing my mind.  That's when I met a pirate.  Well, meeting him isn't the word for it.  He grabbed my arm and covered my mouth.  He whispered in my ear that he needed help climbing up a beanstalk and all of his men don't want to do it, so he has been watching people, and he knows that I climb in free time.  He also added in a very charming but very rude way that since I am the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming that he can get a ransom.

So now I was on a pirate boat wearing an outfit a princess should not be caught in.  It is pirate wear, but thankfully not what the captain is wearing.  That looks painful. I sit down by a sail, holding a rope as we sail. I would be admiring the sea if it weren't for the situation and for the crew walking towards me like I'm prey.  One walks up to me and says, "So, Princess Emma, want to rock the boat?" After that I just stop listening.  It isn't the worst thing I've heard, but I know it will get worse, so I just stare ahead at the turning wheel until one grabs me and I hear a yell.

"That is enough!  She is not to be bothered or harmed.  She is the one climing the bloody beanstalk, and you will owe your gold to her and your captain.  Understood?" I look up at the Captain, surprised.

"Yes, Captain Hook.". I hear everyone say at once putting emphasis on the consonants.
