Goldilocks

Chapter 7

Goldilocks' POV

I felt anger rush over me, and I managed to release my legs. I kicked the beast and it flipped over me. I grabbed my sword, turned around and killed it. I stood up after I knew that the bear wasn't going to move. After I slowly regained my balance, I felt really dizzy, and I stumbled walking. My whole stomach was bleeding everywhere from when the beast cut me. I ripped my cloak and wrapped it tightly around my stomach. I opened the trunk I was next to and found a dress and a cloak that looked new. I have never seen them before, but I put them on. I finished dressing, so I walked outside and laid against a tree. Fury and heartbreak flowed in me. The blood slowed down and I wasn't as dizzy as before, so I walked to the beach. A ship was ready to set sail. A pirate ship. I ran aboard and hid below deck. I could feel the ship on the ocean a few hours later. In a bin, there was weapons, guns and swords. I grabbed a few and then went out on deck. No one saw me, but I heard men coming my direction and I ducked behind some barrels. There were only a few pirates, so that means a small crew. Someone came up behind me and grabbed me, and I couldn't move. He dragged me to the captain of the ship, "Who's this pretty young lady?" He had a strong pirate accent and reeked of rum. "I'm Goldilocks," I spat out. He lifted a sword below my chin, "And what is a little girl like you doing on me ship?" I kicked the shin of the man holding me and I drew my gun at the captain, he drew his gun at me. Then a man entered and drew his gun to the captain and yelled, "STOP!" I pointed my gun at the man who just entered, "Hook." His eyes were fierce. "What are you doing?" He asked. I didn't respond, I just gave a sour glare. The captain laughed, "You know each other? How?" Hook looked at him, "I'm her fath-" I interrupted, "Colleagues." The captain smiled. "Your 'colleague' here is a very bad pirate," the captain said to Hook. Hook responded, "You're a pirate now?" I smirked, "I guess it takes one to know one." In a split second, Hook took his hook and twisted it around my gun, it flew across the room and I drew my sword and Hook's sword and pressed them against both Hook's and the captain's neck, trapping them against a wall. Hook tried not to smirk. The captain smiled, "Release me." I looked at him, "Yeah right. I'll release you if I get your ship!" He laughed, "Me ship?" I smiled, "I know how selfish you pirates are!" I looked at Hook who wasn't smiling after that comment. The captain sighed, "Fine! But I get me crew." I pressed the sword harder against his neck, "Then I get all weapons and supplies!" He smiled, "Agreed." I released him but pointed my sword at him still, we walked out of the room and in front of all the crew, "Men, abandon the ship. That's an order!" All the men threw whatever they were holding to the ground and got into boats. I forgot about Hook, and when I turned around once they all left, he was right behind me. "Nice work. Your first ship." I had my sword ready, "No thanks to you, now get off my ship." He smiled, "You can't work a ship by yourself!" "Watch me." I walked up to the wheel and turned the wheel. He walked up next to me, "Do you know where you're going love?" I looked forward, "Does it matter?" He smiled, "Most likely." I sighed, "Why did you come?" He looked at me but I kept my sight on the ocean ahead, "Because I still believe you're my daughter. And somewhere deep down in there, you know that you want to have me as your father, to care and love you." I didn't respond. I turned the boat towards shore. We eventually came to the beach and I walked off the ship. Hook stayed on but eventually walked off. He was right, I do want him to be my father. NO! He abandoned me! He can't love me! No one could ever love me! He is a pirate! He tricks people! No!

Henry's POV

Emma walked into the room, "Hey kid. What's wrong?" I sighed, I wasn't in total control. The witch wouldn't let me leave or tell Emma that she is controlling me, but that was it. "Charlotte, she-she's gone. She got mad and she ran away. I couldn't stop her, I just can't." Emma sighed, "I'm sorry Henry. To be honest, I never trusted her." I looked at her, tears were in my eyes, "She left and you're not even concerned! She could be killed, lost, in danger and all you want to do is sit here!" She touched my shoulder but I didn't let her. She sighed and walked out of the room.
