Discovering You

Emma Swan is the crown princess of Misthaven. One day, she will be crowned queen... She must also marry someone first. She isn't ready to be a wife. She isn't ready to be a queen. But when her father is killed in a violent storm, Emma knows she must stop being selfish and find herself a husband...

Captain Hook tried to save King David, much against the beliefs of the rest of the kingdom. When he breaks free of the cells beneath the castle, he runs into the princess, who offers to help him in return for a taste of freedom before she's forced into a loveless marriage. Killian can't tell her no... Not that he wants too.

"Your chariot awaits, my love..." Emma turned to see Killian at the entrance to the Captain's Quarters. His eyes glowed beautifully in the low light filtering in through the windows, and tears pricked at her own.

"How do I look?" She held out her arms, and his eyes moved up and down her frame. But it wasn't the gaze she had grown so accustomed too.

"Beautiful," He said gently. Emma slowly walked toward him, taking his hand in hers. She kissed him, hoping he knew how badly she wanted to stay at his side for the rest of her life. "There's not a day will go by I won't think of you."

"Good."
