"I'm home," You say as you walk through the front door and as you look around drop your keys and purse down on the wooden stand next to the door. I wait for a reply but don't hear anything, "Mom?" You say as you walk through the house looking for her when the sound of the TV catches your attention. "And in other news Mafia boss 'King' Louie Lucchese has just been released from prison on 1.5 million dollars bail, when he was asked about the charges against him he just said, 'I have recently become aware of my daughter's whereabouts and I am on my way to retrieve her, ________ I'm coming for you.'" 

Your body freezes as you stare wide eyed at the TV not hearing Regina walk in behind you and watch as your body starts to convulse in front of her. "_______, are you okay?" You jump at the sound of her voice and placing a hand on your heart say, "Yeah sorry just got a little scared by the news." 

She raises an eyebrow as she says, "You do realize you can't lie to me right?" 

You sigh as you say, "Sorry mom," You turn back toward the TV and taking a deep breath point at it and say, "That's my father," 

Regina folds her arms over her chest as she says, "And?" 

Sighing you run a hand through your hair as you say, "He says he's coming for me and that he won't stop looking until he finds me."

Regina raises her brow as she says, "I see, ______ you don't have to worry about him finding you. I won't let anyone hurt you or take you from me." 

You walk over and wrapping your arms around her say, "I know mom." You feel Regina wrap her arms around your slender body and as she holds you tight let out a sigh of relief. 

"Now how about we go eat, it'll take your mind off of it."

 You smile as you say, "Sure mom, Granny's?" 

She smiles as she says, "Why not, besides I don't feel like cooking anyway." 

You smile devilishly as you say, "And maybe have a beer afterwards?" Regina raises her eyebrow as she gives you the mom look of disapproval. "Please?" You say as you clasp your hands together and lift them up to your chest to try to look innocent.

She rolls her eyes as she says, "Alright, but just a couple we don't want a repeat of your graduation night, I had a hard enough time convincing Graham why you were acting like a complete buffoon." 

You giggle as you say, "Buffoon?" 

She raises an eyebrow as she says, "You know what I mean." 

"Okay, sweet so I'm gonna go change." You say as you give her a quick smile and then run up the stairs to your room where you rush to your closet and pull out an outfit Ruby had given you when you had graduated high school. It was a beautiful (F/C) Cocktail dress that covered your chest but left your back bare. You smile as you hold the little (F/C) cocktail dress up against your body and look into the mirror.

As you stare at your reflection in the mirror you smile as you momentarily forget about your problems and worries. You quickly change your clothes before you dig through your jewelry box full of beautiful jewelry that Regina had given you and smile when you find a ruby necklace and matching earrings. As you look down at the shiny red jewel you remember the first Christmas you had when you came to Storybrooke, Henry had picked them out personally for you from Mr. Gold's store. He said that the red brought out the color of your eyes and ever since you had been very close to Henry. After you clasp the necklace around your neck you walk over and brush out your (H/C) hair and gently make it shinier with a wave of your hand.

As the (H/C) starts to shine brightly you remember when magic first came to Storybrooke, You at first had been scared but then insisted Regina teach you a thing or two so that if push came to shove you could protect Henry. You were glad that even though you weren't Regina's daughter you resembled her almost down to every last detail. You walk back over to your closet and smile as you reach in and pull out your Chuck Taylor's and quickly put them on before you open your bedroom door and start down the stairs when you see Regina standing at the door talking to someone.

"Who is it mom?" You say as you descend the stairs only to stare wide eyed at the person you wished never to see again, your father. 

"This gentleman was just looking for his daughter." She says as she turns back toward you and winks at you. You take a deep breath and force a smile as you play along with her.

"________," you hear him say and you tilt your head in confusion as you say, "I'm sorry do I know you?" 

"I'm sorry you just look like someone I know." He says as he keeps his eyes fixated on me. 

"Well I can assure you that the two of you have never met, this is my daughter _________." Regina says as she wraps her arm around you helping to ease your nerves. "Now I assure you sir that I haven't seen your daughter anywhere around here, but if I do happen to come across her I will let you know. Now if you don't mind my daughter and I have dinner plans." Regina says using her Evil Queen tone. You watch as your father looks at you one over one last time before he nods and leaves. 

As Regina shuts the door you let your emotions get the better of you as you collapse to the floor having an anxiety attack. "Mom what do I do I can't go back there!" 

She quickly wraps her arms around you as she says, "Don't worry _______, I won't let them take you." 

You look up at her with a confused look on your face as you ask, "How, no matter what he is not going to leave until he takes me back."

You watch her face harden as she says, "_______, I know a place where you will be safe, but it means leaving the world and all of us behind. Can you do that?" 

You look deep into her eyes and see the sadness in them and say, "Leave you and Henry behind?" She nods as a single tear falls from her left eye. You feel tears well up in your eyes as you throw your arms around her and say, "I don't wanna go!" 

Her grip tightens on you as she says, "I don't want you to go either but you have too. I will have a friend go with you to protect you until your father leaves town then I will cloak Storybrooke from the world and bring you back."

You pull away from her and looking up into her eyes say, "I understand mom, but what friend?" 

She smirks as she says, "A pirate. Now go pack and I'll give him a call." 

You nod as you say, "Can I go by and say goodbye to Henry before I leave?" 

Her face softens as she says, "Of course dear." 

You nod as you force yourself to stand and with one last look at Regina slowly make your way up the stairs. When you make it to your room you look around and tears fill your eyes as you realize that you will have to leave the only place you had every really called home. You walk over to your closet and pull out the backpack you had come with and quickly start packing the necessities, like underwear, socks, clothes, and last but not least you pack your scrapbook of pictures of the life you had created in Storybrooke.

When you were done you throw the backpack over your shoulder and start back down stairs where you hear a man with an accent talking with Regina. "Now your majesty I can't just protect a girl I have never met especially back in the Enchanted Kingdom." You hear him say and you tilt your head. 

"Listen Hook, I know you want your revenge on Gold but right now I need someone to look after my daughter and protect her from an evil you have never witnessed before." 

"Daughter?" He says confused. 

"Yes, I have a daughter and she means more to me than you will know; although I have never told her." 

"So why does this evil require your daughter?" 

"I don't think it's my place to explain, if she trusts you she'll tell you in due time. Now do we have a deal?"

You hear the man sigh but then say, "Aye you have a deal, how long will I need to keep her in the enchanted kingdom?" 

"I'll notify you when the threat has passed." She says then walks into the foyer to see you standing on the stairs looking confused. "_______, you know I don't like eavesdropping, please come down here I want you to meet someone." 

You nod as say, "Sorry mom," then you quickly walk down the stairs and when you look into the living room see a man in a long dark overcoat with his back to you.

Regina wraps her arm around you as she moves you toward him and says, "______, this is Killian Jones; he will protect you until it's safe enough to come back." Your heart stops as he turns around and his deep blue eyes meet your (E/C) eyes.

He was the same man that you bumped into outside the grocery store. He had short disheveled black hair and a five-o'clock shadow beard forming on his face. You had to admit he was very handsome for a pirate. "I take it we're going to be shipmates for a while." He says as he holds his hand out to you, "Jones, but most people take to calling me Hook." 

You take his hand and clear your head of all thoughts about him as you say, "_______ Mills, and most people just call me _______." 

He smirks as he says, "You can tell she's your daughter, she even looks like you." 

You smile happy with even just a bit of his complement. "Thank you Hook, my mother is really pretty." 

Regina clears her throat obvious of my attraction and says, "Okay, we don't have much time. Hook, we'll meet you at the docks after I let _______ say goodbye to Henry." Hook nods as he reaches down and lifting your hand up to his lips gently leaves a kiss atop in. You stare at him wide eyed as your face starts to flush. 

"Hey enough of that, you keep your hand and hook off my daughter!" Regina says as she pulls our hands apart and then the three of us leave the house where Hook heads to the dock and us to Mary Margaret's apartment. 

When we arrive and Emma answers the door your emotions get the better of you as you rush through the door and looking around for Henry find him sitting at the dinner table with Mary Margaret and David. "______?" he says and tears fill your eyes as you run over to him and wrapping your arms around him say, "I love you Henry!"

 "What's going on?" Mary Margaret asks as she walks over to us and gently rubs your back.

"Can I talk to the three of you outside for a moment?" Regina says to Emma, Mary Margaret, and David as she stands cross armed in the doorway. 

When you and Henry are alone you pull away from him and say, "I have to go away for a little while, I need you to be strong and promise me you'll take care of mom. She's more fragile than she lets on and please don't let her go back to being the evil queen." 

"What's going on? Why are you leaving?" He asks his eyes wide with confusion. 

"Henry, there are many things I wish I could tell you but it for your own safety that I don't. So please do me a favor and take care of mom." 

"But I don't want you to go, you're my sister and family is supposed to stay together; can't you stay?"

You shake your head as you say, "I will come back I promise, but for now I have to go." You wrap your arms around him and with one last squeeze quickly let go and running from the room try not to stop and run back into his arms. You run past the adults outside and out of the apartment building where you stop and looking up into the sky try your best to keep from crying. "I'm sorry, ______." Regina says as she walks up beside you and gently rubs your arm as she tries to console you. 

"I'll be okay, I just need some time." She nods as she takes your hand and the two of you slowly make your way to the dock.
