The Princess and The Pirate

Killian

Emma's POV

I turn onto my side and sigh. I haven't been let out of this room since the man attacked us. Before, Hook let me out for at least 20 minutes a day but now I'm stuck in this damn room. I scream and kick the walls. These stupid walls. I'm sick of these stupid walls. I punch and kick until me knuckles are bleeding. That's when the tears start to come. I don't normally cry but I've been holding in so many emotions. I miss my family so much. I miss my son, who I love more anything. I miss Mary-Margaret and David. I wish I could apologise to them and tell them that I want to try and be a family. I collapse on my bed, exhausted and upset. 

"Throw down the anchor!" I hear Hook shout. I sit up immediately. If we are stopping, that could mean that I get to go home. I ran up to the door and try to open it. 

"I'm on strict orders from the Captain to not let you out of this room. So, don't try to escape." my guard tells me. I moan. 

"Just let me talk to Hook, please. This is very important." I shout. My guard sighs and opens the door and pulls me out. 

"No funny business, Princess. Understand me?" he says. I nod and I am pulled up to the surface. The sun burns my eyes and I cover them with my hand. Well, at least it's setting. I gradually get used to the sun again and then, I spot him. Hook. And I'm filled with anger and hate. But, there's something else. Another feeling that I can't quite put my finger on.

"Captain. The Princess wishes to speak to you." the guard shouts out. Hook looks over at us and he meets my eyes. His nostrils flare and he clenches his jaw. The guard walks away and he comes over to me. 

"What do you want?" Hook snarls. 

"We stopped. Why? Do I get to go home" I ask. Hook laughs.

 "Oh! You've changed your song, haven't you? Miss Mummy and Daddy, do you?" He mocks me. I growl at him. 

"Shut up, pirate." I snap. 

"And no, you're not going home today. My men have been through a lot with Blackbeard so I'm letting them have a night off. I presume they will find themselves a woman to be with the night." I frown and I feel like I want to cry again.

Killian's POV

I may be a pirate but seeing Emma upset makes me heart clench. I look into her beautiful, forest green eyes. No! Not beautiful. Emma is nothing. Nothing! Nothing compared to the love of my life. My Milah. My Milah who was killed by the Dark One. That's the only thing that matters. My revenge. This girl doesn't matter. But, why can't I get her out of my head? I wish I could. I've been trying to push her away but maybe I can't. Maybe I should just give into my feelings.

"Are you going? I want to be alone." Emma asked, signalling to the docks. 

"No. I'm not going." I say. Emma looks shocked, which stings. She frowns and cocks her head to one side. 

"But, you're Captain Hook. You love drinking rum and being with women." she says. Is that all she thinks of me? 

"They're really is more to you than there seems, isn't there, Hook." 

"Wouldn't you like to know." 

"Maybe I would." I smile softly. 

"Well, that's a story for another time. But, you should get back to your room." Emma's face falls. "Bye Hook." she says, walking away. 

"Swan, wait!" I shout. She turns around to face me. Just ask her. Just do it. Say the words. You know you want to. 

"I'll let you out of your room every day again." Not those words. Dammit, Killian.
