Once Upon A Time

Chapter2: 🔱 The Jolly Roger (Part 1)

  The waves of the Ocean crashed against the boats side, as the storm hit right above the Jolly Roger.
" So tell me captain" Flynn Asked " how did you get such a ship like the Jolly Roger?" He hung on to the side of the boat for dear life.
   Hope fought with the wheel. Struggled to sail the ship away from the storm. The more she resisted the more the boat got pulled toward the storm.
She looked at Flynn " are you seriously trying to make small talk right now?"
" entertain me princess" be said with grunt as he was thrown by the hard rock of the ship.
" she belonged to my father" i said
" what?" Flynn screamed, unable to hear due to the cracks of thunder and lightning above.
" The Jolly Rodger, she belonged to my father" I screamed. "He gave her up to save my mom, years ago before I was born".
" your telling me your Blackbeard's daughter?" He yelled
" what? No!" I yelled back "I stole the ship from Blackbeard. It's original owner is Killian Jones. You probably know of him. In this world he known as Captain Hook" I screamed
" even better" laughed Flynn hysterically.
" what do you mean?" I asked. The storm was starting to settle.
" Hook was a very ruthless man. Killed many, hurt a lot of people looking for his revenge on the one they call the crocodile." He said " there are many stories and legends about you're father. None that are good I'm afraid"
" you didn't know him like I did" I set my eyes on the now calm ocean " nobody ever does".

Flashback:
  Killian grabbed his daughters hand and helped her into the small sailing boat.
"Watch your step love" he said gently.
" yes papa" she responded, smiling.
He looked at his little girl with pure adoration. He would trade a million Jolly Rogers to see her smile everyday for the rest of his life. His little Hope was the best thing that ever happened to him in the pirates long life. He watched her gleefully as she roamed the small boat, her tiny fingers tracing the boats design.
" papa?"
" yes starfish?" He asked
" can I name the boat?"
" anything your hearts desire starfish"
" The Jolly Rodger" she said " like off of Peter Pan" she giggled
Killian couldn't help but smile " I, the Jolly Rodger it is, starfish"
" do you think that it can fly, like in the movie?"
" Can you keep a secret starfish?"
" mommy says secrets are bad"
" but this is a good secret starfish, I promise"
" okay papa" she giggled. She walked closer to her father and he kneeled towards her ear, and told her the secret. Her eyes lit up with joy and she let out a fit of giggles.
" do you believe me starfish?"
" I will always believe you papa" she gave her father a hug.
Killian smiled at his starfish, she was exactly like Emma, and killian couldn't be happier.
" all right starfish it's time to teach your how to sail" he smiled.

Hope looked over at Flynn, he was talking with one of the sailors. She often wondered if she would see him again, but here he was on her ship...on her fathers ship. She looked over the carvings on the helm of the ship, tracing it with her fingers. She couldn't help but smile. The Jolly Rodgers was hers and she would never let it leave her grasp. She would find her parents and make them proud. No matter the cost...
