The Pirate and the runway princess

Return to Neverland

Killian took my hand pulling me over to the helm placing my hands on the steer as his good hand held onto mine. I knew this was the place we were before, part of the reason Killian looked so young for his age because time stood still. Emma and Regina watched as we were going but Killian had us slow down even with me steering.

"Why are you slowing down?" Regina asked as she looked at us "In case you didn't know, my sons life is in danger."

Killian let me go down from the helm as he looked at Regina "Oh I know, My hotheaded Queen. My plan is to bring us to the far side of the island, link up with the widest part of the river, then we sail right through and take him by surprise." Killian said shaking his head "the irony"

I checked making sure everything was in place on the ship with the men and I could practically feel Regina watching my every move. She was one to judge no doubt about anything and I didn't care much for her. Then she looked over at KIllian who probably was watching me as well as I was talking with the crew making sure they had everything set.

"What Irony?" Regina asked

"Oh. I spent more time than I care to remember trying to leave this place to kill rumplestiltskin. I wouldn't even let Amira off the ship yet here we are, sailing right back into its heart with the dark one as my guest of honor. It's not quite the happy ending I was hoping for." Killian said

"Greg Mendell said something funny to me." Regina said as she was thinking and looked at Killian "He said I'm a villain, and that Villains don't get happy endings. You believe that? Considering you're seeing a princess who plays pirate on your ship."

As I was looking up to the helm I seen Killian in thought as our eyes met and I wondered what exactly Regina was up to. I knew how she probably thought of me and I knew the saying about Villains not getting a happy ending. Maybe it was true, but to me no one would change my thought that Killian was my happy ending.

"I hope not or we've wasted our lives." Killian said to Regina as he looked at her "As for Amira, she makes her own fate. She doesn't let some book or even her past define her choices."

"She's a hero, not a villain. Luck will shine her direction no matter what and she's in love with you." Regina said

"Aye that she is, but I love her and our child. Which is why I don't want her leaving the ship." Killian said

I had snuck up hearing that part of their conversation as I leaned against the rail of the ship looking at them.

"I may be a pirate princess, but I am making my own choices here. The choice to save my great nephew meaning I'm leaving the ship when we hit land." Amira said

"Stubborn as always luv." Killian said

"If I wasn't, you probably wouldn't love me like you do." Amira said as I went down seeing Snow and David talking to Emma.

"Hey" Snow said to Emma and took a deep breath "What happened to neal and Henry, it's not your fault. You can't blame yourself."

"I don't." Emma said then looked at her parents "I blame you. All this happened because I listened to you. You say good always wins It doesn't. I didn't grow up in some fairytale land. My experience is different. That's all I can go on.""

"And all we have to go on is ours." Snow said and looked at me "Amira what about you?"

"My experience, it doesn't matter whether good or evil it all depends on what you do." Amira said

Letting my sister and her daughter bicker a bit was probably the best thing I could do as I went over by the steps of the helm and sat down.

"We'll find Henry." Snow said to Emma
