The King and The Mute Pirate (OUAT)

Chapter 29

I decided to check in on the Charmings since Henry is with Papa.
I was about to knock on the door when I saw the runes go from gold to red.
Not good.
I knocked on the door and Snow opened it.
"Melody? What are-"
I moved past her and started surveying the area.
"Did anyone besides you come in here?" I ask.
David shook his head,"No. We were looking for baby sitters."
"Did you invite them in?"
They both nodded and I cursed under my breath.
"Did one of them ask to be let in?"
"Yes, and you just missed her." Snow said.
I turned to look at them,"You just let in a magic user. A powerful at that. The charms I casted are red. It means that she has dark magic. If the charms turn blue, it's a light user. This magic user broke through my charms when you invited her in."
Snow and David looked at each other,"We didn't know."
I sighed,"It's fine. You're just lucky she didn't use magic on you. If she did then the charms would have produced Dreamshade on her."
They both looked at me in shock.
"Dreamshade? That's dangerous."
I gave them a look,"I know. I'm the one who found out about it. Peter wanted me to use it incase something invaded the island, or if he couldn't control his power."
I touched my necklace and looked at the doorway.
I took a handful of sage from my bag and waved it over the charms.
They turned a dull yellow and I started placing the sage around the house.
"You can now see the charms I placed. The sage I burned will cleanse the babysitter's scent, and I'll use that as a tracking device."
David got in front of me as I headed to the door.
"You are just a child-"
I bared my teeth at him,"I'll have you know that I am almost as old as you. I may look like a 17 year old, but know that I can kill you. There is a reason I'm called the Night Fury."
I moved past him and opened the door. The sage wafted through the air and I followed it as I made my way downstairs.
I walked as it led me into the woods. I mentally marked where I was and stopped when I saw the small house in the clearing.
I climbed a tree and watched, waiting for any sign of life. I noticed the cellar that looked very suspicious.
I wonder what is so special about this magic user.
After about an hour of sitting in a tree I decided to go back to town to prepare for this witch.
As I made my way to town I decided to go on the boat and into my room. I looked around and smiled to myself.
My old war paint I used to wear when I was planning an attack.
I remember how Peter tease me about how I looked like an idiot. But I knew he thought I looked amazing. The way his eyes darkened as I was dressed in my battle clothes and war paint.
He said I looked like death. That I looked beautiful but deadly all at once.
Thinking about it made me smile.
I called him a tease and he chuckled.
I remember how impressed he was when I told him about what I did back then.
I sighed and decided to wait until nightfall to attack.
When nighttime came I was armed to the teeth with my knives and daggers. I had a quiver hung on my waist and a bow in my hand. My war paint on my face. My hair pulled away from my face and small braids in my hair because why not?
Just like the good old days.
I made it to the house and climbed the tree. An arrow nocked as I looked around. I saw movement in the house and released my arrow as it went flying.
I scaled down the tree and hid in some underbrush. I heard glass shattering as a woman ran out. She looked furious and I watched as she waved a hand in the air. My necklace felt cool under all my battle clothes.
As her back was turned I quietly went to the side of the house and got in.
I looked around and noticed how big this magic user's house was.
I heard her footsteps and hid in a dark corner. I watched as she came in and narrowed my eyes.
She had red hair and green eyes. She was tall and wore a ridiculous green pendant. I waited as she passed me and I carefully threw a handful of Dreamshade at her.
I watched as the spell did its work and I walked towards her. I put a cloth over my nose so she wouldn't see my face.
"Well what do I owe the pleasure?" She asked.
I sized her up and held a dagger at her.
"Why did you go into Snow White and Charming's home?" I asked.
She rolled her eyes,"And you want me to tell you because?"
"I want to know why a dark magic user is here in Storybrooke. Surely you aren't here to plot something evil." I said sarcastically.
"I'm just a simple woman hoping to change her ways-"
I threw another powder in her face and I crossed my arms.
"Why are you here?" I asked again.
"I'm here to overthrow Regina and turn Storybrooke into my own home."
I smiled. Truth teller powder always works.
"What has Regina done to you?"
Before she could reply I felt a hand on my shoulder and I was thrown across the room. I got up and nocked an arrow as I laid eyes on the Dark One.
"You. Just when I thought you were dead. I should have known." I hissed.
I released the arrow and threw Dreamshade at him. He caught the arrow but he evaporated the Dreamshade.
My eyes widened as the woman laughed,"Be a dear and get her."
I ran out the house and into the woods. I ran and ran and just as I was about to get into the town he was there in front of me. I skidded to a stop as mud flew everywhere around me.
I grabbed my freezing dust and moved around him and sprinkled him with it.
The spell worked or so I thought.
I backed away from him and took out my knives. I began throwing them at him but he kept catching them and dropping them.
I took out a tiny whistle and blew into it.
Hopefully he would hear it and find me.
I took out my daggers and got into a fighting position.
"Why are you working for her?" I asked.
"She's making me." The Dark One said.
I came at him with a swipe and a kick.
He stopped both and I kept fighting him. He blocked all of my moves and I was sweating.
I thought of the only move I could think of. I put my daggers away and ran at him. I flipped and wrapped my legs his neck and flipped him with me. As his body hit the ground I ran.
I made it to town and into Granny's diner. Everyone was there and looked at my battle gear. My father stared at me in shock.
"Melody what are you-"
"The Dark One is hunting me." I said as I took out my daggers.
"I called for you but you didn't show up." I said to my father as I threw the blasted whistle at him.
I prepared myself for the door to open but nothing happened.
I frowned and waited a few minutes until I went outside to look.
The Dark One was gone and that sent a bad feeling in my gut.
"What happened?" Regina asked.
I sighed as I prepared myself to tell them everything.
