"Er..." I began but I was lost for words.

"Who is that?" Mary Margaret asked and Killian shrugged. I jumped as the ship's bell ran in the wind and Killian snorted.

"Need to get used to the sea again" he said and I rolled my eyes at him. "I don't know. But I do know, that he's a giant. Cora shrunk him down with magic. What ever she intends to do with him, it's important."

"Oh I think you know exactly what she intends to do. Your holding out" David said. I could hear the menace in his voice. Was he asking for a fight?

"What you going to do? Get your wife to torture it out of me?" Killian smirked. I made to slap him again but David got there first. He pinned Killian to a pole my the neck.

"David!" I screamed and he glanced back at me "I told you, not to touch him" I growled and I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Mary Margaret had pulled her bow and arrow to point at me.

"Your awfully protective of him, considering you said you didn't approve of what he's done" Leroy sneered.

"I said I didn't approve of his actions, not that I didn't love him" I snapped "Let. Him. Go" I hissed. When David only continued to stare at me I lunged for him in an attempt to pull his hand from around Killian's neck. But a sharp stabbing pain in my ankle brought me down before I got there.

"Adaline!" Killian yelped and I looked up to see that David had let him go and was staring at Mary Margaret. The arrow no long in her bow.

I looked down at my ankle and squeaked when I saw the arrow sticking out. "Ow!" I yelled at her as Killian rushed to my side.

"Anna, I'm sorry. I panicked" she stuttered and moved to help but I help up a hand to stop her.

"I wasn't going to hurt him. But you should control your husband a bit more" I muttered. Mary Margaret could have easily come up with a quick come back to defend David. But considering she had just shot me with an arrow and David was obviously out of control, she remained silent.

"What's going on!?" the giant asked. The noise having woken him up and he was freaking out in the crate. Mary Margaret moved to help him out and I would have watched but my attention was taken by the pain in my ankle. I watched as Killian sucked in a breath and bent down to look at my leg. He poked the arrow and I yelped a little.

"Sorry, but it't got to come out" he said. Suddenly there was an almighty bang and both our head snapped up to see the giant punch David across the ship and Mary Margaret released another arrow but missed the giant's head but inched and it logged itself in the wood of the ship.

"Step away from my husband" she ordered.

"You may have me out numbered. But his isn't over" the giant cussed loudly "You think I forgot what you did? I didn't" he spat at David "You'll pay for your evil, I promise!" he yelled and with that he ran off.

"Dude! What did you do?" I asked and he just shook his head.

Leroy, David and Mary Margaret made to follow the giant back into town. "Hey, what about us?" I asked and they paused.

"Just stay here, you'll be fine and we know were to find you" Mary Margaret said before dashing off with the others.

"Great" I grumbled.

"I know" Killian smirked and I smacked his arm lightly.

"Hey" I protested. "This is not great. This is the complete opposite of great"

"Come on, it gives us some alone time" he teased. I was halfway tempted but not wholly. So I resisted.

"No. We are stuck on a ship, together and we are not exactly getting along well at the moment. You have broken ribs and can barely stand, plus you only have one hand and I have an arrow in my leg. This is not great" I huffed.
