Royals are always supposed to present themselves in ways that look good to the people, I should know since I'm a princess. In truth, I may be a princess but I don't feel I belong here everyone looks to my older sister and I'm just in her shadow. You're probably wondering who I am right? My name is Amira, Princess Amira White I'm the 2nd born daughter to King Leopold and Queen Eva. My sister is Snow White, I love my sister in fact I know she'll make a great Queen but I've started to look elsewhere for where I belong.
I ran the day of my father's funeral, with a few mere bags of gold to get me by and my sister's necklace around my neck. I wasn't sure where I was going to be honest but I stopped at the bar, that's where I met my future. I got something to drink with one of the coins and went to sit down. All I could think about was I had to go somewhere, somewhere Regina couldn't find me. With my under clothes not my royal ones and a cloak to cover myself I was doing a good start.
Maybe you'd call it fate or a run of bad luck in the beginning cause I scanned around the bar seeing what was there. My eyes ended up on a pirate that was telling tales of his adventure and I listened while having my drink. Though as he was telling his stories our eyes met for a brief moment and I looked away knowing I wasn't looking for trouble. Still it didn't stop him from soon sitting across from me.

"What's a pretty lass like yourself in a place like this Princess?" The man said

I didn't know whether to come back sarcastic or not, was he serious when he said Princess? Yes, I am a Princess in fact Snow White's sister but not many talked nor knew about me cause I wasn't in the eyes of the people like she was. So I decided not to let him know he was right and played it off calm.

"There's nothing for me back home. I heard your stories, they're quite the tell." Amira said
"Not just a tell luv, all real." He said and smirked a bit "Where are my manners, Killian Jones"

'Is he seriously introducing himself to me? I should come back with something fake like snow would.' Amira thought

"Selena, Selena Marriot." Amira said
Killian smirked at her as he could tell that wasn't her name but he'd go with it for now. "Well Selena, you seem to be looking for something." Killian said
He could tell well I knew that already and I smiled "I am, Adventure." Amira said
"Ah well if it's Adventure you Seek luv, you should come with me and My crew aboard the Jolly Roger. You'll have all the adventure you can handle. In fact if you want you could come back there with me now." Killian said

I stared at him for a moment knowing there was no way he was serious but I could see he was except one thing. He wanted something from me to insist coming with him now and I of all people knew better then to trust him.

"I'll think about it." Amira said to him as I took a sip of my drink
"Well Luv, do tell me soon when you've made up your mind." Killian said as he walked away

Tall, Handsome and a pirate that combination wasn't going to be easy for me to avoid, let alone I had one problem. With Regina out there I fear the idea of falling in love, afraid if I do I'll pull them into something far worse but having my resistance to the Captain is one that became my hardest task. Maybe I should of stayed back never gone up but the idea of all the adventure I could handle was too tempting and I eventually got up going over to his table.

"I've made my choice." Amira said
"And what is that luv?" Killian asked
"I'll go, I want to see what's out there." Amira answered
Killian only merely smirked at me and that is our beginning of how we met, trust me there's more to this tale to come.
