Finally I was awoken from my endless nightmares. All of them had the same ending. Killian was chained to a small boat drifting away from me. Ursula had me held captive. She took us to her palace in a cloud of magic and made me watch a clone of her telling him I was dead. She threw my cloak on the ground in front of him and he immeadiatly grabbed it an buried his face into it sobbing. But then he grew angered. A saw a change in him. He wanted revenge.

That was the ending to every dream. Repeatedly . Over and over and over. It was horrible, but I learned what could happen to Killian if I die. That is why I am determined to live. I have to find him after the curse hits.

I can feel light shining through my eye lids. I do not open them. Instead I search for his warm body next to mine, so I can lay close to him.

Frantically I feel all around. Then, I already know what had happened but my heart refuses to believe, I open my eyes.

Sure enough I see bright light shining through green branches over head. The curse hit in the night. I didn't get to say goodbye.

I stay strong but a single tear slides down my face. But how do I have my memories? I should have forgotten all about my family by now.

Maybe it's because I am the savior. That would mean Killian probably did not drink his potion. He may not remember me at all. Tears flow down my face slowly. Unless, maybe he woke in the night and tried to wake me. Then gave me the potion and drank his.

It has to be the second option. I can not even bear to think the first. Killian remembers me. He has too.

I sit up and start thinking of my plan. Emma Swan. Your the savior. Act like it! I clear my thoughts and start fresh. First thing I need to do is find Killian and then the others.

Maybe someone has set up a camp nearby. If I can find them I can be a leader and hopefully calm people down and get some news of Killian.

My mind flashes to a new thought. How am I going to walk? My hip is broken.

I search frantically for a stick to support me. There are a few broken branches near me. They are laying around a fallen tree. The break looks unnatural as if cut by an axe. Maybe people are nearer them I thought.

I use my hands to drags myself over the hard ground and dirt. After much pain and work, I reach the first few limbs. I grab one that is as tall as my shoulder an prop myself up with it under my arm. There is another almost identical to it beside me. I pick it up and use them both to stand on one foot. Okay. This is good. I just need to find a way to wrap my leg.

I look down and notice what I am wearing. It's a light beige dress with a corset, white over shirt, collar, and one of those large capes I have seen on my mom in pictures. It covers the dress completely an my as are under it. There are to holes for sleeves however.

Well Ursula must have a sense of humor, putting me, a princess apparently, in a peasant dress. But she also must be stupid. With all these layers, I can wrap my leg.

I remove the cape and rip off the over shirt leaving the collar and corset. The over shirt rips easily. I use the bodice to wrap a stick to my leg as a brace. The sleeves split open, giving me much more material. For now I wrap it around my back.

I slide the cape on again carefully and stand up hobbling past the tree with an axe cut. Hopefully this will be simple. I can find a camp and they will have news of my family.

Leaving my family was one of the hardest decisions I ever made. I missed my brothers childhoods. And we'll their entire lives. But I had to be free. I needed to sail the seas.

So I was a stowaway on a navy ship. I was very intelligent as a young lass. No one ever found me. That is until the ship was overtaken by pirates. They found me. I was sixteen when the forced me into the crew. I was excited, thought of it as an adventure.

If I ever went back in time, I would never change anything. But there are things I regret. But I keep them buried deep.

Because my secrets, are mine

My arch enemy had always been Ursula. Ever since she took.. well someone... away from me. That's why I'm ready to beat this bloody curse.

After it hit, I appeared in the realm of Misthaven, The enchanted forest. But alas, it was not that simple. I was on a different island. My guess was Arrendale. (The mountains have snow on top.)

I've been here on a few quests. More then a few actually. I have many a good friends here. Including some friends with benefits. The Arrendale princesses. So I prepped for my journey to the castle.

Ursula knew me too well. She put me in a dress. I bloody hate dresses. I cut the dress at my hips and took off the over shirt. But because of the biting temperatures here in Arrendale, I left on the cape.

Then I started to walk. Thoughts clouded my mind as I travelled. I had just been reunited with Killian after over 200 years. He has changed so much. I heard news about him after I ran away. I knew that his was a pirate, and a good one at that. Which I find ironic. We both became pirates.

I heard of his dead loved one, Milah, and his unfulfilled quest for revenge. And that was all I knew for a while. I pushed anything with him out of my life because I knew crossing paths would not be good. He could be very mad at me for leaving him in that house. He always wanted to travel as a lad too.

Then he disappeared to storybrook, some strange city. His ex crew member, Kal joined my crew and told me stories about him. Then we both heard news of him in Neverland working with Heroes. Of cluster we did not believe, but it was true.

And now my dear little brother is in love with the Swan princessá. And, surprisingly, she's in love with him. True love. He's found it. And lost it.

So after leaving him and causing this curse, it's my duty to fix this. I must fight to reunite Killian and Emma Swan, the savior.

Maybe it will feel good to be a hero.
