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

Chapter 9: Regina Returns

A few hours later, Tinkerbell awoke and tried to stretch but couldn't because Killian's arm was wrapped around her. She tried to wiggle free, nature was calling, but he tightened his arm around her, mumbling, "Where are you trying to go?"

"I need to use the head," she said, a bit embarrassed.

He released her and said, "Sorry love. Hurry back."

Tinkerbell scrambled out of bed, quickly took care of business, and hurried back to the warmth of the bed and Killian.

He pulled her in for a quick kiss, that wound up not being a quick kiss at all. Once they broke apart, Tinkerbell said, "I'm starving."

"Well now I can't let that continue. Let's go see what we can find," he said.

They got up and got dressed. They left his quarters and went to the galley and gathered a small feast of bread, cheese, grapes, and wine and took it back to his cabin.

As they ate, they discussed whether or not Regina would be successful in getting Cora to trust her or if she would have to kidnap her own mother. They agreed it could go either way, depending on Cora's mood.

As they finished their meal, they heard a commotion up on deck.

Killian said, "I better go see what's going on. Stay here."

Tinkerbell grabbed his arm and said, "No I'll go see. You're supposed to be laying low remember."

"Dammit! Okay but take my sword just in case," he told her.

"Fine."

She left the cabin and made her way up to the deck. There was Cora bound up and being held with a knife to her throat by a familiar looking handmaid. The handmaid was yelling at Smee to let them through to see Captain Hook. Smee wasn't letting them through. He knew Cora was a witch and the other woman, even though she had been on board with his captain earlier, was now acting like a madwoman. There was no way he was letting these two women near his captain.

"Tinkerbell, tell this man to let us through," Regina yelled.

"Its okay Mr. Smee. Let them through. I'll make sure Cora doesn't hurt the Captain and the handmaid is just following orders," Tinkerbell reassured Mr. Smee.

"Okay but I'd really like to hear that from Captain Hook to be sure," Smee told her.

From just out of sight on the stairs, Killian said, "Let them through Smee."

"Yes Captain." Smee moved aside allowing Regina and her prisoner past. Tinkerbell followed them down the stairs.

"Where do you want her Hook?" Regina asked as she transformed herself back into herself.

"In here," he said opening the door to the cabin across from his.

Regina pushed her mother into the room and momentarily untied her hands to shackle her wrists and attach them to the hooks on the wall.

"Don't worry she can't do any magic as long as that cuff stays on and seeing as I'm the only one who can remove it, it's not going anywhere," Regina told them.

"I take it plan a didn't work then," Tinkerbell asked.

"Hard for it to work when she attacks first and asks questions never," Regina answered.

"Aye dodging fireballs makes talking a bit difficult," Killian says lightly.

"Enough with the chitchat," Cora says angrily.

"Oh are we disturbing your hanging around?" Tinkerbell asks jokingly, standing close to Killian.

"You stupid, naive fairy, getting involved with that pirate is going to destroy you," Cora spews at Tinkerbell, seeing how close she's standing to Hook. "He'll take what he wants, break your heart, and leave you high and dry."
