Hope Jones The Pirate Princess

Snow and Charming

For Snow and Charming's wedding anniversary they requested the whole family take a day trip.
With slim to no idea about what they wanted to do they wound up on the Jolly Rodger with plans to head to the middle of the ocean.
After a few hours of being on the ship the family had to plan an attack of the ogres who had come down from the mountains and were attacking villages.
Hope stayed above deck and steered the ship whilst Neal and Henry play-fought with Daniel. She began to toss her head from side to side shutting her eyes until she was interrupted  
"Hope what's wrong?" Charming asked
"Nothing!" She smiled as she placed her hands firmly on the wheel
"Hope?" He asked sternly
"Fine!" She yelled "I can hear screaming it's deafening!" 
"Can you not control it?" He sighed
"I wish! I mean it's never been this bad!"
"Ok well you have only had this power a number of weeks. Why not concentrate and try to silence them? Find something that calms you!" He smiled.
Hope nodded as she made her way to the side of the ship she stopped and took a breath but the screaming didn't fade.
She continued to watch the waves crash against the side, she heard the birds above her head and she felt the breeze run through her hair. She shut her eyes and began to concentrate and the screaming began to lessen until eventually it stopped! She stood there a few moments longer just to make sure they were gone before she turned to her Grandpa
"They've stopped!" She smiled
"That's brilliant!" He cheered
"What's brilliant?" Emma asked as she popped her head up from below deck
"Nothing!" They both smiled. Emma looked at them with an eyebrow raised before heading back below deck.
Hope climbed up the rigging and sat herself in the nest when she received a call. Usually there was terrible service when she was on the ship but because they were still close to land she had a little service
Hello?
Hope it's me!
Herc hey what's up?
Nothing I just missed you!
I've been gone a few hours!
You wanna do something this weekend?
Yeah sure!
Ok, well I'll pick you up around lunch on Saturday?
Sounds like a plan!
Good oh tell your grandparents I say Happy Anniversary
Of course now I need to go we're heading further out!
Ok I love you
I know
After hanging up Hope was joined by Henry. The two sat and spoke about Hope's new powers and what she was going to do next but the truth was she still had no idea!
Charming called everyone above deck for dinner. He had made everyone's favourites.
"Dad you know today is about you and Mom right?" Neal laughed
"Yes but your mother and I agree we can't think of a better way to spend this day than with you all!" He smiled. The family settled on the deck and began to watch the sunset when they were rudely interrupted by Ursula.
She had arrived on deck and began to beg the family for help. She told them her father had been captured by a Southern Isles ship and they had dumped him in the bottomless ocean
"Is that where Isacc put you Emma?" Snow asked, Emma nodded as Killian began to set a course for there
"Hold on! It's their wedding anniversary and we're about to go and save some fish?" Hope laughed
"Hope!" They all scolded
"Sorry! It's all we ever seem to do!" She weakly smiled. Ursula reluctantly accepted her apology
"I'm with Hope on this one!" Henry sighed "Grandma, Gramps it's your anniversary do you really want to spend today saving the king of the sea! Not to be rude but can't he swim?"
"Henry, Hope we know you want us to have a 'normal' day but this is who we are!" Snow smiled
Henry and Hope smiled before Hope headed below deck to get some sleep.
When she arose she heard running and shouting from above deck. She quickly rushed up to find her family pulling Poseidon over the side.
He looked weak. He had lost all muscle and looked like a bag of bones.
Ursula rushed to her fathers side and he asked her to sing for him it was obvious it made him much calmer.
Regina began to heal him and he slowly gained more mobility.
Killian took them back to their home and Hope was mesmerised she saw mermaids sitting on rocks combing their hair and merman swimming under the ship.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Ursula smiled as Hope nodded and continued to gaze over the side. She saw a mermaid holding a baby and Hope couldn't help but awe at it.
The mother became protective and began to hiss at Hope before Ursula told her it was ok and that Hope was a friend.
After they had left Mermaid Cove Hope decided she wanted to take the helm. Much to her grandfathers horror she was a natural. Charming had hoped she would stay in the forest all her life and become Queen when Regina grew tired of the role. But at this rate it looked as if Hope was going to leave to become a pirate.
The family docked and were greeted by the dwarves who had come with gifts for Snow and Charming. Both Emma and Neal were highly embarrassed by one of the gifts as it was a photo of them with their parents on Neals first night out.
"Leroy!" They both scolded
"Hey! We thought it was cute! Wait till you see the photos of everyone else!" He grinned.
Sneezy handed Snow and Charming a photo album with photos of all of their family. There was photos of baby Neal, teenage Neal and even Neal now. Emma's section of the book was slightly better as the photos they had of her were when she was an adult.
"Woah who put these in?" Henry and Hope whined. They turned the book around and showed everyone the photos of the two of them at Regina's wedding both covered in cake. There were hundreds of pictures of the Charming's with Hope and she didn't mind them
"Why am I blonde?" She asked
"Well when you were really little you had your mothers colouring but obviously as you got older you've become more like your dad!" Charming smiled.
The family headed into Emma and Killian's palace where they listened to Henry whine about his failed marriage, Regina boast about the fact something in her life had gone well and everything inbetween.
