Hook and Tinkerbell: A Wish Realm/Hyperion Heights Love Story

Chapter 3: More Problems

Killian and Tinkerbell arrived at the port and walked to where the Jolly Roger was docked and climbed aboard. Killian called for his crew but no one answered. They searched the ship finding no one. Killian was pissed. There was always supposed to be at least 2 crew members left on the ship at all times when in port. He checked the hold...no supplies had been restocked. Now he was really pissed. He clearly recalled making arrangements for their supplies to be restocked and had paid handsomely for it to be done in a timely manner the night before on his way to the pub.

Killian was livid now. No crew. No supplies. No clue as to what had happened to himself the night before. He paced the upper deck.

Meanwhile Tinkerbell was performing a locator spell to find the crew. Just as it worked, Killian noticed what she was doing and said "What is that you're doing love?"

"A locator spell to find your missing crew," she replied (trying not to blush over the fact that he had called her love and also trying not to read too much into it).

"Did it work?" he asked.

"Let's follow it and find out."

They left the ship and followed the spell through the village to the pub. Inside they found his crew all passed out at the tables, every last one of his crew. No one else was around. No barkeep, no bar maids, no other customers. Just his crew passed out.

"WAKE UP YOU FILTHY BILGE RATS!!" he yelled.

Nobody moved.

"I think they've been spelled or possibly drugged, Killian," Tinkerbell said softly.

He whirled around to look at her. "A sleeping curse?"

"I hope not cause I have no way of waking them from that. Hopefully just a potion or poppy seed dust. If it's a potion, I can wake them from that. Poppy seed dust they'll wake on their own," she told him.

"How do we figure out which it is?"

"I'll try the spell to wake them from a potion-induced sleep first. If that doesn't work, we'll wait an hour or so to see if they wake on their own. If they don't, then it's a sleeping curse and they can't be woken up by anything except true loves kiss."

"Here's hoping for options 1 or 2 to be the answer then," Killian said far more cheerily than he felt.

As Tinkerbell prepared the spell to wake the crew, they started to rouse on their own.

Killian said, "Guess it was poppy seed dust then."

"Mr. Smee, can you please kindly tell me why you lot are all in the pub and no one is guarding the Jolly Roger? And why none of our supplies were restocked?" Killian demanded.
