Ten minuets later Belle was stood next to me on the ship. "So, do you want to explain?" she asked and I shrugged simply. I was fed up of having to explain myself to people.

"I love him" I said simply before walking down into the cabin.

"What?" Belle screeched and ran after me.

"I love Captain Hook!" I yelled in delight and she smacked me across the face. I held my sore cheek and she glared at me. "What was that for?" I asked.

"He tried to kill me! He's stopping Rumpelstiltskin from finding his son!" Belle yelled and I raised and eyebrow.

"Well, I'll tell you about your Rumpelstiltskin. He killed me" I snapped and Belle fell silent. I ducked into the room that had once been the one I share with Killian. I smiled a little when I saw that my table and mirror where still in their place. I looked in the mirror and winced at my burning red cheek. Dam, that girl has a slap.

"Anna!" Belle called and I sighed walking into the hold of the ship where Belle was looking through one of the doors in the floor. I was surprised how much of the ship my mind had remembered.

"What?" I asked and went to look.

There tied up with a gag over his mouth was Archie. "Archie!" I yelled and his eyes widened when he saw me. I jumped down into the hole and began to untie him.

"Your alright?" Belle asked when the gag came off.

"Yeah!" he said.

"But you died, Regina killed you. That's what Emma and the others think. Archie, we buried you this morning!" I said and he shrugged.

"I've been here with that crazed pirate" he said.

"He's not crazy" I grumbled. I helped Archie to climb out of the hole and I followed.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

"Archie, go. Get Mr Gold and bring him back here" Belle instructed and I shook my head.

"No, no no. Now way is he ever setting foot back on this ship while I'm alive. He can get whatever Killian took back, but he is not coming on this ship" I snapped at her. Archie looked desperately between us.

"Are you sure?" he asked Belle and she nodded. Apparently I no longer had any control over the ship, I was still technically second in command... I think... "What about you two?" he asked.

"We'll be fine, now go" Belle instructed. The sound of footsteps made us all look up. Belle and Archie in fear and me in delight. What he had done was so, so wrong. But I loved him too much. Archie ran off up to the deck and disappeared.

"How dare you make orders here" I snapped. Belle looked at her feet.

"Look, I'm sorry. But kidnap, theft... its not right" she said and I sighed.

"I know, but this is my home" I said and she nodded. "Now what was it Gold lost?" I asked.

"A cloak, a child's cloak" Belle said with a determined yet apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry I snapped" I said.

"Sorry I slapped you" she said and I shrugged.

"I deserved it. It's just been such a long time and--"

"I understand. Now where does Hook hide things?" she asked. I thought about it and shook my head.

"I don't know, he's never hidden anything from me as far as I know. You look in here, I'll look in the bedroom" I instructed and she nodded and began rummaging round while I walked to the bedroom. The first thing I noticed was that the room smelt like him. The smell of the sea salt and rum. It was comforting.

I had just started to search for Belle's cloak when the door shut. "Belle!" I called out.

"Anna!" she called back and I could hear the fear in her voice.

"Looking for this?" a deep voice that I had longed to hear for twenty eight years said. I let out a pained and unearthly scream as my heart shattered.
