Storytelling (K.Hook)

"Have Fun"

On the Jolly Rodger. In the captain's office. 

Hook walked inside and looked at me "Echo"

Me "Killian, i was worried you wouldn't show up"

Killian "of course i showed up. what's going on?"

Me "i know this has all been really confusing and i have not made it any easier.I 'm sorry for going off on you like that the other die. I know you're just trying to help. Can't we just talk and drink like in the old times?"

Hook"I'd love nothing more. but this is hardly like the old times"

I made a few bottles of rum appear on the table in front of us. 

Hook froze at it surprised.

Me "better?"

I used my magic to put me back into the same outfit i hard worn on our first date. 

He eyed me.

Hook "i have questions"

Me "you want to know if i'm still the same Echo"

Hook "i imagine that's not a simple answer, so let's start easy. Your new house, what's behind that locked door?"

I froze at him. 

Hook "you know i want to trust you, Echo. Why don't you help me?"

I put my hand over his hand "so trust me. With my powers i could hide everything from your prying eyes"

Hook pulled his hand back "well, you've answered my first question, too. You're not the same Echo. She didn't play games"

I nodded "of course i am different, Killian. I am better. "

Killian added "as the Dark One"

Me "I see things more clear now. I'm not scared anymore. I'm an open book if you're willing to take the trust step"

Hook asked irritated  "don't tell me you want that we move forward in a real relationship?"

I asked confused "Why not?"

Hook stood up, shaking his head "why did you call me here? "

I stood up and looked at him. 

Hook eyed me "You need something, Dark One. Tell me what it is"

Me "all i need is your trust. i promise"

Hook "i liked you the way you were. I liked your walls. I liked being the one to break them down. "

Me "the person you found inside is still in me. I have a question for you for once. Do you love me? If you tell me you don't love me, i will let you go"

Hook "I-i loved you. "

then he stepped back "i guess i'm either steering home or swimming home. Your choice"

I raised an eyebrow at Hook, confused  "why can't you just accept the way I am now? "

Hook shook his head "because this isn't you, Echo"

I nodded "this is me, Hook"

Hook shook his head "no, love, it isn't. "

I rolled my eyes "Killian, come on"

Hook shook his head  "I'm sorry, I can't"

I put a hand on my hip "so you don't love me anymore? Is it that?"

Hook shook his head, confused  "this has nothing to do with my feelings for you, love-"

I nodded "of course It does, or else you would accept the way I am now"
