Storytelling (K.Hook)

Liam Jones

At my place. 

I pulled the sheets of the sofa.

Then i turned back to Hook "Come sit down. Let me take a look at you. "

He sat down and i sat down next to him. 

Hook "tried" to be funny " Are you sure you want to? Hades sort of knocked the handsome out of me."

I put a hand on his cut on his face "You're still handsome"

He laughed but then groaned in pain "Good joke, love"

I rolled my eyes and healed his wounds, turning him back to his handsome self with new fresh clothes on. 

He nodded "that's better"

I smiled and went to kiss him but he moved backwards. 

Then i asked confused "what is it?"

Hook " It's just, um... a lot has happened between us."

I asked confused " Then what's the problem? "

Hook " I'm the problem. Echo, you were the Dark One for six weeks and only gave in to the darkness out of love. I plunged in headfirst in a second for revenge! I was weak! "

Then he stood up and started pacing around.

I shook my head "Not in the end"

Hook " You raised the bar very high, Echo. The fact is, I don't measure up. "

I stood up "Let me be the judge of that"

Then i walked to him " If you didn't, would I have come all the way down here to try to save you? "

Hook" That's my point, Echo. I'm not sure I deserve saving. "

I scoffed, shaking my head "do not tell me you actually want to stay down here"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. 

I looked at Killian who looked at the ground. 

Then i opened the door and a guy stood there. 

Me "Hi, can i........?"

The guy looked at Hook shocked "Killian."

 Hook's jaw dropped " Liam? "

Liam walked into the house "So the rumors are true. After all these years, my little brother is finally here"

--

We were sitting at the dining table, each of us with a glass of water. 

Hook " Liam, what about you? Why are you down here? "

Liam sighed " I wish I knew. I spent countless years trying to figure out a reason. "

Hook looked at me "There is no reason. Hades has the game rigged so no one can leave. My brother's proof of that. Never did a bad thing in his life. He even died nobly, stopping a treacherous king from poisoning the realm."

 Liam"Stop it. You're making me blush. "

Hook" Hades has you two trapped down here, and that cannot stand. The only way everyone will get free is if we defeat Hades once and for all. Liam, you've been down here a very long time. Surely you must know something that can help us. "

Liam"I know this is a very dangerous game you're playing. There are those who tried to overthrow Hades before. They always spoke of a... a book, which had the power to defeat him. I tried to find it myself, but I'm not even sure what to look for. "
