Hope Jones The Pirate Princess

Not another curse!

^How I imagine Hopes home would look^
Hope and Dalton had been living together for just under a year now and Hope still couldn't get over how gorgeous her new home was.
When Dalton had told her he had built her a small palace he really meant a house. He knew she was tired of living in a palace and she wanted somewhere more comfortable.
Not that she didn't find her parents home comfortable but she loved the home he had made for her.
Dalton had insisted every room that Hope would spend more than an hour a day in have a view of the sea and that they did. He had also insisted their home be no longer than a ten minute journey from Hopes parents palace (even if that meant he had to live just outside of his kingdom).
Dalton fell out with his parents when they first moved in together. They had told Dalton he shouldn't be with Hope and that he should be with Melody. As her family had larger land and a big navy but Dalton was in love with Hope and if they couldn't accept that then they didn't need to be in his life.
Besides if they needed a naval influence surely Hope was the better option, her being a captain and her father being the Captain Hook.
One night there was a huge storm and Dalton was terrified. For as long as he could remember he had a phobia of thunder and lightning. As a child he and Darling would crawl into their parents bed and wait out the storm there but he was all grown up now.
Hope however loved storms, they actually helped her sleep. She managed to sleep through the worst of it despite Daltons constant jumping and whining but after a while she decided she'd sit up with him and wait it out.
She comforted him until the stormed passed, she did everything she could think of to distract him from it.
They watched film after film, played cards until Dalton grew tired of losing and they talked for hours on end.
"Cheat!" Dalton accused as Hope laughed throwing her cards down on the bed
"I didn't think I get caught!" She giggled
Eventually the storm passed and Dalton couldn't have been happier if he had tried.
Although there was one thing he thought would make him happier he looked down at Hope who was cuddled into his side her head resting in the crook of his neck. Dalton couldn't help himself he had to ask her. He was planning on doing it tomorrow (their anniversary) but he knew Hope better than anyone.
He knew she wouldn't care about a big proposal she would love it if he proposed in the pouring down rain and she was dressed in rags.
"Hope?" He smiled.
She looked up at him her blue orbs sparkling in the moonlight and simply smiled at him
"Marry me?" He asked as he pulled a small black box from his beside table draw.
Hope looked at him in complete disbelief, she looked at the box and squeezed her eyes shut and then opened them again.
"Of course I will!" She cried throwing her arms around his neck and peppering kisses all over his face.
He slid the ring down onto her finger before Hope quickly pulled her hand back and away from him. He looked at her utterly confused as to what had just happened, had she changed her mind? Was it the ring? Did she want the big proposal?
"You did ask daddy didn't you?"
"Of course I did! I may be a king but I don't think that'd stop your father from killing me for not asking for his blessing!" He laughed as Hope quickly handed him her hand back.
Despite being newly engaged and excited Hope physically couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep in Daltons arms, not long after he followed her into a deep sleep.
The next morning they both woke up still in each other's arms when they heard people downstairs.
It couldn't be the staff as Hope refused to have any, who the hell was in their house?
The pair crept downstairs Dalton slightly behind Hope only to find the entirety of Hopes family sat in their kitchen.
"Bloody hell!" Hope yelled "what the hell are you all doing here?"
"I think you guys should sit down." Henry suggested his face covered in concern
"Hold on is that?" Regina smiled as she snatched Hopes hand
"Yeah! Dalton proposed last night!" Hope beamed as she flashed her ring. All of the women began squealing whilst the men did their awkward man hug.
Killian and Emma congratulated their daughter before Henry quickly reminded everyone why they were their.
"Wait so we're all going back to StoryBrooke?" Hope asked as she cooed at baby Faith (Regina and Robins new baby)
"Yes, last night that Brooke girl paid me a visit. She and her now husband have apparently been trying for a child for a while and couldn't so she's bitter!" Regina sighed
"That doesn't explain why she wants to curse everyone!" Dalton snapped normally he would be the Charming in these situations, keeping everyone else calm and level headed, but he had a kingdom to protect and how could he do that without knowing why Brooke wanted to curse them all.
"Well isn't it obvious?" Hope sighed as she took Daltons hand "Brooke's jealous, she and Harry have been trying for years! But also if she curses everyone she gets to rip you guys away from this little one and do what she's always wanted to do to me!"
Hope handed Faith back to Regina before sitting herself down in Daltons lap.
"She wants you to go dark!" Dalton sighed. Hope just nodded before she looked around the room and realised they had to get her mum out of the curses preview so that she can break the curse.
Apparently this curse was saviour proof, this curse would completely reset everything. To break it all those who shared true love would have to re-unite and whilst your cursed that's pretty hard.
"So what if we send one of us to StoryBrooke now and that person can guide everyone else back to each other?" Snow suggested
"That's the plan!" Emma sighed
"Why the sigh love?" Killian asked as he took her hand
"Well isn't it obvious? Whoever we send is going to have to live for who knows how long alone!"
"But surely we will all be alone?" Robin sighed
"Well yes but that person will push us all back together!" Charming encouraged
"I'll do it!" Hope volunteered
"No you won't!" Killian, Emma and Dalton yelled
"Hope, I won't let you live alone and in pain!" Dalton argued
"I wouldn't be alone, I'll take Faith!"
"That's it!Faith!" Regina sighed
"What? She's not even old enough to walk!" Hope laughed
"I know that's why Daniel is taking her to the black fairy's realm to grow up faster and help him!"
"But I'm older than Daniel?"
"Hold on if your sending both your children why do mine have to be cursed?" Emma yelled
"We never told you all but Faiths supposed to be the next saviour!" Henry smiled
"Shut up!" Hope beamed
"That's amazing!" Emma smiled as Robin began to grow impatient
"Yes and they're going now!" Robin tutted as he watched Regina open the portal
"Dad, were going to be ok!" Daniel smiled as he took Faith.
That was it that was the last the family saw of each other. Not even twenty four hours after she had gotten engaged Hope was cursed and couldn't remember anything. Neither could anyone that had wound up in StoryBrooke.
