An Eye for an Eye [Killian]

[Deleted]

Earlier, Ashleigh had felt as though she had made the right decision. A life for a life sounded like an equal price, but she couldn't shake the feeling that she had made a terrible mistake. Because of her carelessly choices, not only had one of her fellow mermaids died, but now a pirate. One of Hook's crew that probably had only been following orders. No, the only person who she should have truthfully went to seek her revenge out against was Hook himself, he was the man who double crossed her. Ashleigh's family had specifically warned her about humans, Pirates in particular. But of course she hadn't listened, blindly putting her faith in a man that was clearly the epitome of what her family was trying to warn her about.

What's done was done. Ashleigh didn't have the power to go back and change what had happened. She ultimately wanted to know if what she had done was enough to satiate her hunger for revenge. A small slip of the tongue, a simple mention to Pan of what Hook had planned. Ashleigh knew Peter never let anyone off his island unless he wanted, and she was sure he wouldn't prefer Hook gallivanting off to another world. She had no idea that it would end in bloodshed, but a price was paid for her ignorance again. A life.

She swam through the waters, a feeling that usually comforted her and brought her joy, but she was on her way to the Jolly Roger. It was almost as though she needed to see it to believe it herself, see the damaged she had caused. Her thoughts had been distracted, and she hadn't realized how close to the ship she actually was until the netting had engulfed her. She had no idea if Hook or his men had spotted her and that was why the net seemed to trap her, or if it was just coincidence. But, Ash knew it was bad news. The men would figure out she was trapped in the netting eventually, and she would loose the upper hand that she had. There would be no sneaking around and sniffing out if the rumors of Hook's loss was true in secret now.

It's Always Nice

TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION

Killian was not happy. Not at all. Though unhappy was a great understatement. He was livid. He'd come so close to finding a way off this cursed island and then what happened? A bloody mermaid blabbed. Granted, he had killed one of her own . . . and it seemed the favor was repayed. For Hook lost one of his men. Pan had ensured he made an example out of him to deter Hook from ever attempting to leave. It wouldn't entirely discourage Killian, but he knew he would have to lay low for a little while. He would have to wait until Pan wasn't watching him so intently . . . which Hook wasn't even sure if that would be the case anymore. The man child clearly had an idea of Hook's intentions. Now he may never have another chance to leave. No. That couldn't be it. He needed to get back to find that damn dagger that Baelfire spoke about. He needed to destroy the Dark One, once and for all.

Needing to put distance between him and the island -- though that never stopped Pan from sending his minions should they need something -- Killian was currently sailing on the dark waters. He needed to rethink; reconsider; reevauluate. The first plan would not work. Now he would need to devise another. "Damn mermaid!" Killian cursed as he slammed his fist against the ledge of the ship. He was in a horrid mood, though the timing of his words and what he saw was quite impecceble. For in the waters, he could have sworn he saw too large of a fin to be a simple fish. Determination filled him, and the unwavering anger he felt remained. Whether it was the one he suspected or not, he would start to take out his revenge on them . . . even if he had to get every single mermaid that swam this sea.

"Drop the net, lads! We're going fishing!" His men responded immediately, aiming for what what they saw and when they began to pull it up, Hook could see it. His lips curled into a sinister grin as he watched the fish being risen. And soon enough, dumped onto the deck of his ship. The men surrounded her in a circle as she was in the middle. When the net was somewhat off of her, Killian found this situation to be all the better. For it was the very mermaid who had cost him his freedom. "Well, well, well look at what we have here. It appears we will have the chance to gut a fish tonight," he mocked, his words causing a chuckle from his crew men. Hook peered over the mermaid, his hand on the hilt of his sword in preparation to draw it. But first, he was going to have some fun.

As Ashleigh had suspected, she felt the net tightening around her body as she was being hoisted out of the water. Her heart fluttered a bit, slight panic beginning to radiate from it. Hook was going to be upset, angry, worse. One of his men died because of her, his plans to leave the island were squashed as well. And even though it wasn't as though he was some innocent bystander in this scenario, Ashleigh was sure that those thoughts wouldn't be hindering Hook's idea of seeking some revenge anyway. She gulped once she reached the top and was thrown right on to the ship. She literally felt like a fish out of water right now, knowing she needed to find a way off, find an escape plan. There was no way she was not going to be ending up as some sort of seafood dinner for these men.

Ashleigh looked up, directly at Hook. Not really bothering to stare any of his men in the eye yet. His eyes had no sympathy in them, cold and ruthless. He was a true pirate, and she had no idea how she never saw this before. But now her eyes had been opened to the man he really was, to the way humans really were. Her people had been right, and she betrayed them. Never would she be allowed back home, and that was Hook's fault. She could feel the hate in her heart growing for him even in this short moment in time.

"I never meant for one of you men to die. That wasn't purposeful." She shook her head, but then narrowed her eyes. "But you brought it upon yourself. Let me off this pathetic raft you call a ship." That probably wasn't the best thing to say in a situation like this. His ship appeared to be the only thing Hook really cared about. Ash looked around the deck, trying her best not to draw suspicion to her wandering eyes. She was sure there were things on this ship that could be used for leverage to gain just a moment to jump off back in to the safe waters.
