Hooknapped!

[Princess Anna]

-------------------------------------------------------

Anna moved her cloak pulling it tighter around her body. She had a grand adventure and a lot of it had a danger, it was all very thrilling really. She did it for her sister though. Once those castle doors opened things have been a little all over the place and it was all worth it for her sister whom she loved more then anything despite them not being very close for the longest of times. She would still do anything for her sister. Like go on a life threatening adventure to save her sister. It was a fun adventure though she learned many things about life, things she would have never learned if her sister decided to keep the doors closed she might have gone crazy. Now one her way back to Arendelle unsure of what to expect she had been gone for so long.

Getting home was going to be the hard part, she had once traveled with a wonderful man named Blackbeard... Though she may admit that was a very strange name but he took her to the place she needed and was very kind to her... Well more or less, she may or may not have pushed a few of his buttons but some people just were not use to the happy bubbly personality types. Walking the area she played with her braids. Anna had a little skip in her step as she made her way down the path. All new area so much to see and taste and even smell it was all wonderful. But she missed her home, her people and most importantly her sister. Hopefully she was okay, Anna left on such strange terms.

Her hands dropped to her side as she played with a bit of her cloak thinking she was a bit lost. "Hmm..." Looking around she was sure she was lost and in need of some directions. This place was so big it was easy to get turned around and well Anna was queen at getting herself turned around and confused. But this was all part of the adventure... Wasn't it? With a soft shrug she continued on her way, she would eventually come across someone who could point her in the right direction.

TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION

The mission was simple: kidnap the princess. Perhaps what made it so simple was the fact that it was Hook's understanding that the princess was unaccompanied by any guards. She was all by herself and thus -- in Hook's opinion -- vulnerable. Now the captain didn't exactly take orders from anyone. This was a mission that he was being paid rather extravagantly for by a man named Hans. It was his intention to overthrow the queen and he believed that by having the queen's sister in possession, it would give him the proper leverage to use against her. Hook didn't truly care about the details. Hell, he often wouldn't even care about the plan. What had peaked his interest was hearing that the princess encountered the Dark One. And the Dark One's destruction was Hook's ultimate mission.

So he had agreed to this. He was paid half now and half when Hans received proof that Hook had the princess n possession. It had taken a lot of research and effort, but finally . . . he had managed to track her down. It was rumored that she was on her way back to Arendelle, and Hook supposed he was about to find out whether that was true. He told the rest of his crew to get in position -- most were on the Jolly Roger, prepared to set sail. All Hook now had to do was bait the princess. Perhaps he would be able to do so without having to knock her out and drag her on his ship.

He had been following her for quite some time, waiting for the moment to be right. And when such an opportune moment presented himself, Hook took advantage of it. He began to walk in the opposite direction of Anna, walking forward until he purposely bumped into her -- though he would make it sound as if it were an accident. "Forgive me," he quickly said as he collided into her. He feigned a genuine tone, though inwardly he cringed over having to ask forgiveness from anyone. "I had grown distracted and fear I was not looking where I was walking," he added with a smile. "Did I hurt you?" He asked in insincere tone of concern . . . but of course, he had to fake it as best as possible.

Walking Anna had been walking along minding her own business waiting to come across anyone at this point, she needed directions so she could find her way home. Luckily for her someone had come along and ran right into her, almost knocking her to the ground. With a small 'oof' noise she took a few steps back gathering her balance once again "Oh, that is okay. I wasn't paying too much attention either." She let a small laugh escape her light pink lips as she straightened out her dress and then fixed her cap. Looking at the man she smiled kindly, her big innocent eyes shining brightly as she examined his making sure he was okay, she was petite but that didn't mean she couldn't have made him stumble or something or if he had dropped anything on the ground. It wasn't all his fault after all.

"I am fine though, are you?" She asked as her hands came down to her sides. He seemed okay, but it was polite to ask. "Oh! Do you by chance know where I can some ship captains. I am looking to go home and seemed to got myself turned around." Anna laughed more at her situation then anything, if this was Arendelle she would know it forwards and backwards but this... This was no where close to Arendelle, so many little turns and back roads. Hopefully asking this man he would know where she could find herself a ride home.

Shaking her head a moment she stuck out her hand. "Oh how rude of me. Hello, my name is Anna." She was once advised not to introduce herself as a princess cause that leads to kidnappings, or being robbed. There seemed to be a lot of bandits running around so she just kept it short with Anna and if she made new friends she would tell them. Most people usually just knew who she was so introducing herself was a bit strange for her, something she wouldn't have to do once she was back home. Till then she was getting use to sticking her hand out.

Well, well. She seemed like a rather jovial little lass. Smiling and appearing to be unfazed by the collision. Not all princesses would be so at ease with someone bumping right into them. It was become quickly evident that she was no typical princess. "I'm quite alright, thank you, love." Apologies. Gratitude. These weren't exactly the kind of things that Hook was accustomed to conveying. But for the sake of appearing to be a kind and welcoming ma, he had to act like this. Once they got on his ship and were well away from land, he could become the ruthless pirate Hook once more.

When she asked if he knew where she could find a ship's captain, he couldn't help but smile. It was a perfect question for her to ask, as it eased into the conversation he wanted to have with her. Before he could answer however, she extended her hand and introduced herself. Hook did not fail to notice that she said her name, void of any titles or indication of higher rank. It was after all, the wise thing to do. Hell, if he had not been following her, he never would have been able to pick her out as a princess. She was dressed like most others, and did nothing to attract attention to herself. It was a good demeanour to keep for a royal venturing on her own.

He took her hand in his, but instead of shaking it, he raised her hand to his lips, kissing the back of it. He hoped a little charm would help put her at ease and deem him trustworthy in her eyes. "It is an absolutely pleasure to make your acquaintence, Anna," he told her, purposely keeping hold of her hand . . . long enough to let the moment linger, but not long enough to cause discomfort. He gently released it. It helped that she was a rather exquisite beauty, not finding it difficult to engage in subtle flirtations to make him appealing traveling company.

"My name is Killian," he told her. "Or as luck would have it, Captain Jones," he said, now revealing that he was indeed a captain. "I am pleased to offer my ship as a means for your travels. It would be an honor to have someone as beautiful as yourself on board," he stated, smiling at her, ensuring his tone was not suggestive nor crude. But rather, gentle and soft flirtations. That would most likely change once he revealed his true intentions of bringing her on his ship.

-------------------------------------------------------

She smiled as he told her he to was okay, with a nod of content her eyes scanned him carefully, one could not be too careful these days but he seemed very kind. Once she introduced herself his hand took hers up and a blush crossed her cheeks as he held it much longer then normal. With a small curtsey "The pleasure is mine." Yes she had manners no matter who it was they all deserved the best she could offer. Once he let go of her hand she relaxed a bit. He was very strange and she wasn't sure if he was flirting with her, calling her love. It was very strange but she did her best not to read into it. This was a new land and not many people knew who she was which was for the best. She tried hard to blend though her personality was a harder one to tame, trying hard not to look so amazed at just about everything she came across.

Anna's eyes lit up when he told her he was a captain. This was her luck she was in need of a Captain and here was one standing before her. She had literally ran into what she was looking for. "Oh that is wonderful news!" Anna was practically jumping with joy. "How much will it cost me? And how will I know that I will be safe?" She did not want to jump to conclusions but her safety was important to her, she had to make it home and well money was of no issue. She was a princess and had all the money to get her anywhere she wanted to go. As she spoke her eye caught something that was connected to him, his hand... It was missing. "Please don't think of me as rude but that is quit the hook, on your wrist!" Her eyes dazzled at it. She wanted to ask how he got it but perhaps that was for another time. Now she needed to make a contract for safe passage back to her home.

Anna usually spoke what was on her mind, no one really ever stopped her except her sister and maybe her tutors as she was growing up and still to this day but that usually didn't stop her. "Please lead the way and we can discuss this further. But don't get any funny ideas." Anna wagged her finger at him with a stern look only to smile again as she placed her hand on her hip. "What is your crew like? Are they good men?" Anna wasn't too picky, she really could defend herself if it came down to it, and she had traveled with a pirate once before. A fearsome one at that. But with enough money she figured she could convince just about anyone to be good. It was obvious she was full of questions.

With her curtsy and returned words, it was becoming apparent that she was not immediately threatened by his company. Which was perfect. His intention was to lull her into a false sense of security so that he could lead her to his ship without a scene. He smiled when she reacted to the revelation of him being a captain, and then questioned how much it would cost and how she would know she was safe. Both were valid questions, and Hook of course had to lie in order to ease her mind about both of them.

"Many believe that chivalry is reserved only for knights. However, I like to prove otherwise. When a damsel is in need of assistance, and I have a way to provide it for her, then I do not believe payment is necessary. The act of helping her is reward enough for me." Had Hook not been so used to manipulating others . . . well, the words would not have come out with such ease. But fortunately, he had formed a habit of such things so he was able to utter these phrases with confidence and charm.

"You will be safe," he further assured. "I give you my word." Another lie. Well, sort of. If safety meant he wasn't going to kill her, then yes, he gave his word upon that. But of course, there were many other things that could be done apart from murder. It was then that she took notice of his hook. He gave a smile, assuring her that he was not offended by her inquiry. "Ah yes. I lost my hand to a Crocodile," he answered. Again, it wasn't entirely a lie. He referred to the Dark One as a crocodile and this little nickname Hook had concocted for the demon allowed him to explain the reason for his absent hand with a semblance of truth.

"Placing a hook there, prevents me from having to withdraw a weapon when under attack. Which in turn, frees my hand for more pleasurable activities such as taking the hand of a beautiful woman," he said flirtatiously, as he offered her arm to take so that he could start leading her to his ship. The reason for the hook was a lie, but he continued to hope she would believe him . . . at least until they were on the Jolly Roger where she had no way of escaping.

"I wouldn't dream of getting any funny ideas," he said playfully with a bit of an innocent wink. She then asked about his crew . . . his crew of pirates. Once again, her question would have to be answered with a lie. "They are good, honorable men," he told her. "They will not lay a finger on you." Not without his permission of course. They were loyal to their captain. "What do you say, love? Are you ready to set sail?" He hoped the answer was yes, so that they could get off land and head off to sea.

Anna eyed him carefully, summing him up. He didn't seem like a typical sailor, more like the one she had sailed with once before. But maybe that was just his look. Anna was racking her brain for everything she knew about pirates and other sailors. The difference between them all. But her travels had her wiry and if he wanted her dead, or taken or what ever it was men did to women he would have done it already. She made a small noise she took his arm. "You are very strange, sweet but strange... Uh in a good way that is." She laughed a bit. She hadn't met many men who went on for chivalry until now, that was being here where people didn't know she was a princess, back at home she got it all the time so this was a nice change. If it was true. Men were so fascinating to Anna. She fully believed in true love and other romantic stuff.

"Well, I guess when I see them, we will see how it works out." Anna wasn't going to give her word about anything just yet, and she was going to play the sweet innocent young women. She had found along her travels that trusting people was something you had to do wisely. Her run in with the Dark One proved that, but he was sweet on the inside she saw it. Anna saw the good in just about anyone it was just who she was. And proudly that is. "A crocodile, sounds very scary! Yet adventurous. Bet it is a wonderful story you tell all the pretty young ladies." She laughed again at her teasing him. Glancing over at him with her bright kind eyes.

Taking in a deep breath of fresh air she sighed lovingly "I think the hook makes you look interesting. But then again you got a smile any young girl could swoon over." Yeah she was being a bit flirtatious but it was fun, it felt good as long as she didn't lead him on and made it very clear that making a move on her was not allowed. She had to keep her virtue as a princess and as a lady. But a little flirting wouldn't hurt, she was free after all since those doors opened up, her life had a large window of opportunity. "So tell me about yourself. How long have you been sailing?" She asked as she reached up with her free hand to play with the tips of her braids.

Upon her description of him being strange and sweet, Killian smiled at her words. "I prefer dashing and devilishly handsome," he said with playful arrogance. "But so long as you see strange and sweet as something good, then I shall take it," he added on. Sweet. Killian knew that her perception of him being sweet would be short lived once his true intentions were revealed. But all in good time. She agreed to see how it worked out with his men and he gave a small nod at that.

It was a fair enough statement. He of course could not expect her to completely trust a stranger . . . he just needed her to trust him enough to go aboard his ship. Her comment about the crocodile made him continue to smile, particularly the latter part of her words, about it being a story that he tells all the pretty young ladies. She was quite right about that. On his nightly visits to the tavern, it was indeed a good way to lure and entice a crowd . . . especially the women folk. Besides, he enjoyed telling stories of his adventures. It was after all what drew Milah to him, and one of the reasons she told him she had fallen in love with him.

"Aye, it is indeed. I will have to tell you sometimes, as you fall well into the category of a young, pretty lady. In fact, you may exceed such a description," he said, the flirtation and flattery once again in his voice. She seemed to be innocently entertaining it as well, which worked out even better for him. She then spoke of how the hook made him interesting . . . and that he had a smile that any girl could swoon over. Oh he was rather enjoying this. It was a shame they had to meet under such circumstances. If time permitted, he would further enjoy such flirtations well into the night, and kidnap her the next day. But alas, he had to keep the mission in mind.

"You certainly don't seem to be just any young girl, so tell me love, is such a smile winning you over?" He asked, obviously smiling as he spoke it in further attempt to charm her. He knew he had to keep the exchange innocent and fun, rather than crude and overly suggestive . . . there would be time for that later. Her question of how long he had been sailing was one he could answer with truth. "All me life." He just left out the minor detail that he happened to be two hundred years old.

"My ship has stayed with me for the duration of my life at sea. She is made with enchanted wood which is why I am confident she can make any journey safely." It was easier to talk about his vessel rather than his personal life when he was trying to conceal the fact that he was a ruthless and cruel pirate. He figured by providing assurance of the ship they would travel on, may ease her mind a little more. "I am far more interested in you. For instance, where is it that you call home?" He knew it was Arendelle, but he couldn't let on just how much he knew about the princess. For the time being, he had to go along only with what she told him.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Yes, well you have both of those as well. But I didn't want to give you a big head." Anna did find him very charming, and he was right about being handsome and dashing which only made her blush lightly at the thoughts of maybe liking him. She had to control herself. Anna was young and innocent... As well as a bit naive and her sister had once warned her for not opening her heart to just anybody. True love was out there but it was not always with the first man who takes an interest in you. And with Anna wanting the love so much she often found herself digging deeper then what might have actually been there. Clearing her throat a bit she let her free hand fall and rest on his arm close to her other hand that was wrapped around the crook of his elbow.

As Killian complimented her, calling her beautiful and how that she exceeds even that she couldn't help but blush just a bit more. With her cheeks heating up she looked at the ground trying to calm herself. "You flatter me good sir." Her voice was softer trying to keep herself grounded. She was on a mission to get home not to fall for a man with a ship. It was hard though because he was very attractive and kind... Plus he made for great conversation and oh the stories he could tell her about his adventures. She had only so far had one big adventure which she was trying to end currently but him, she could bet all her money in the castle that he had many more. Some she probably wouldn't even be able to fathom and that was exciting... He was exciting.

Tilting her head up at him so her eyes could make contact with his if he chose to look down at her. "Oh why yes it. So hard to resist." Anna placed the back of her hand to her forehead and pretended to swoon leaning her head against his shoulder a moment and batting her large eyelashes. Lifting up a moment later laughing a bit. Yes she was playful and spirited, it often showed. Putting on a less playful face as he told her he was more interested in her she kind of shrugged, trying to play it off as if she wasn't from anywhere special though her home was magical in her opinion. "I am from a different land called Arendelle. Have you ever traveled there on your magic ship?" Anna rather not talk about herself. She hated lying and if he persisted about her talking about herself she was afraid she might spill the fact that she was a princess. Something she did not need a stranger knowing.

Walking down the path, she kept her eyes and ears open for anyone who may try to come out of nowhere when she saw over the horizon rows of ships with lots of little men hustling around. Her eyes got bigger and the excitement raced through her body. "Oh look! Which one is your Captain?" She asked biting her lower lip holding in most of her excitement. She would miss this land dearly but she wanted to be home, to see her sister and tell her what she had found. Show her the things that she has collected. A few books that would help her sister as well as her understand what she was and where she got her powers. This land was fully of enchantment and many useful items.

Letting go of his arm she ran forward a few steps and looked over, taking in the sight of the area. It was all so beautiful, from the castles she had seen to the shipping areas. Anna loved these sights the most, the ones of the little villages, and of all the ships. The people really, knowing full well the people is what made a kingdom, a kingdom and to her it was beautiful. Looking back to Killian waiting for his answer as well as for him to catch up. The sun hitting her just right that it warmed her body and made her hair brighter and her eyes shine. Her hands were pulled up to her chest holding one another, she was a sight to be seen and her sights were set on Killian.

He gave a playful, arrogant smirk as she spoke of how she did not want him to get a big head. "May be a little too late for that, darling," he told her jokingly. There was an innocence about her that was rather endearing, but Hook knew he could not lose focus of the reason he was in her company. He continued to smile as she placed her other hand on his arm, a gesture he would have returned had he possessed another hand for him to touch her with. But alas, all that remained was his hook. Seeing the blush bloom her fair features encouraged him, and reinforced her innocence.

"I doubt I am the first man to flatter you as such. But I am honored that I am able to do so." She was a princess after all. An unmarried one from what he knew. Which of course meant that she would have no shortage of potential suitors wishing to marry her. Noticing her looking at him from his peripheral vision, he turned his head to meet her gaze. He gave a slight chuckle when she played along with his words, the histrionic display was one he found to be genuinely amusing. With her head leaned against his shoulder, he slightly turned his head to the side once again, allowing his lips to gently brush against the top of his head. An action done in innocence, without the intention of being crude.

He was after all, trying to be a gentleman right now. After letting it linger for only a few moments, he turned his head forward again, as she answered his question about their point of destination. "Aye, I have ventured there before." Another honest answer. "It is quite a distance though, love. What brings you so far from your home?" He didn't know the details of why she had left the kingdom, Hans hadn't told her. He only knew that he was to keep her hostage . . . and of course, Killian had his own reasons for agreeing to this. Ones that were linked to his mission to exact revenge on Rumpelstiltskin. Seeing the port filled with boats, she hurried toward it, and he just took the moment to watch her, hearing her ask which one was his.

He didn't answer the question right away. Instead he just watched her with the sun ray falling upon on her in the perfect angle. She really did epitomize beauty. Damn shame things had to be the way they were. He could have seen the two of them getting along. If only they had met under more casual circumstances. A tavern. Or during one of his journeys. Things could have led to very different outcomes. He gave a small smile, keeping his eyes on her as he finally began to step toward her. "Forgive me. I was placed in a trance. Your beauty never ceases to mesmerize me." Keeping a soft smile on his lips, he forced his gaze to move from hers, and over to where his ship was as he raised his hand to point to it. "That one there," he revealed. "And she's nearly ready to set sail," he further answered.

[Princess Anna]

-------------------------------------------------------

When Killian spoke about that he surely wasn't the first one to flatter her she couldn't help a small smile, it was a bit sad but a smile none the less. "Yes... But you are the first to do so knowing there isn't some big prize in winning me over..." She thought to herself and how the warnings her sister had given her often played true. Many suitors would come and try to win her hand only to be there for a prince title. They always wanted something more rather then just her and so with Killian thinking he didn't know anything about her it made her feel more special. "You are indeed the first." She commented out loud this time, though he was not the actual first to flatter her he was the first that actually mattered in a way. Pulling herself together and letting her signature sweet smile cross her pink lips.

Looking back over the horizon as Killian joined her, showing her which one was his and it was a beautiful ship indeed. "My very own grand adventure! First one at that." Anna answered his question with truth, though leaving much open to discuss but she really did not want to divulge any more. It was family business but it was her grand adventure as well. "Where you there for business?" Anna asked curious as to why he was in her kingdom. The idea of having adventurers in her lands was exciting, anything new always caught her eye and that was partially due to the sheltered life she lived inside the castle.

"Do you speak like this with all the women?" She teased when he once again complimented her beauty, the blush obvious on her cheeks as she bit down on her lower lip, she figured if she thought of him talking with all the women like this it made it easier not to fall for his smooth talking charm, but it was still difficult. Looking around once more she bounced on the pads of her feet the excitement over taking her her hand slipped down to his and she began to pull him along "Well come on, I want a closer look!" Ships were not a new concept to her but they were beautiful handcrafted vessels all unique in design. And with Killian's words ringing in her mind about how it was a magical ship it only made her more enthusiastic about seeing it.

Anna could no longer wait atop the little hill, there was the ship and she had a captain in her grasp, she felt like she was almost home already! She just hoped it would all work out and that she wouldn't have to find another captain... She had already fell for his charm even if she wouldn't admit it. He was a hard one to resist. But there was still the issue of trust and though she felt herself trusting him she had to keep all the warnings her friends had given her for her journey. Keep her grounded. Without them who knows what would have happened along the way. Getting down closer to all the ships the amazed look on her face was priceless, she wanted to run up to all of them but her destination was home and she needed to keep her focus.

A lot of men looked her way but she paid no mind to them, completely oblivious as she found other little things to fawn over, new and exciting things. "Oh wow!" Anna looked at Killian with a sparkle in her eyes and a smile running from ear to ear. "Look at that one!" Anna pointed over to one of the ships, it had tall masts with fancy carvings, it was made for someone who had money but it was not big enough to be a royal's ship, nor was it big like Killian's ship but it was beautiful. When a man passed with a crate of funny looking fish "Oh! What funny little fish!" She spoke through laughter as she watched the man walk away. "This place sure is amazing!"

TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION

If Hook was a more considerate man who had not completely succumbed to the personality of a pirate . . . perhaps he would have felt guilty. Especially when she told him that he was the first to flatter her without having ulterior motives -- or as she put it, a prize at the end. She would soon learn that that wasn't the case and his need for vengeance overpowered any other emotion or feeling. "What sort of prize could they hope to attain other than your affections?" He inquired. For while he knew she was a princess, that truth was not yet one she had revealed to him. And he of course, had to continue this farce for as long as need be.

She then answered his question by revealing that she had been on her very own adventure, and the words caused him to smile. "Something tells me that there is a tale to be told there," he said a bit playfully. "One that I would love to hear. Perhaps on our way to Arendelle, if you are of course comfortable sharing it." He wasn't sure she would feel at all comfortable with him once the truth was revealed, but he had to keep the ruse going. Her own question about his purpose in Arendelle was said in good timing. "I suppose you could say that," he said with playful ambiguity. "Tell you what, over dinner tonight, I will exchange one adventure story for another," he proposed. Her story for his . . . though of course he knew it was not going to be under completely amicable terms.

Upon her question of speaking like this to all the women . . . well, it was indeed a fair question. "Only the ones who capture my attention." That wasn't entirely a lie. "Which is quite rare I must say. Hence, the reason I feel so captivated by you." That part . . . was a bit more of a lie. Only in the sense that Hook did indeed enjoy the company of women. While he had only ever loved one, he did quite frequently appreciate the beauty that they possessed. And Anna was indeed an exceptionally beautiful woman. At least he could say that part with truth and conviction. He just had to make it sound like his flirtations were a rare occurrence . . . he needed to make her feel special for the time being.

She then hurried toward the other ships, and Hook followed behind her. He continued to smile at her enthusiasm and excitement over seeing such things, pointing out the different ships and the fish that were caught by fishermen. "If only time was on our side, I could have indeed shown you all the wonders that ports can hold as well as the markets in this area." But he didn't have time for that right now. And apparently, neither did she.

"Perhaps one day," he added with a soft smile. He looked to one of the vendors who was selling flowers, and picked one from the basket. The seller seemed to know who he was so asked for no coin, and luckily, Anna was distracted enough to not see the exchange. Hook then moved toward her, placing the flower in his line of sight. "And until that day comes, let this be a souvenir of this quaint town that you have graced with your presence." And now he needed to get her on the bloody ship. But he couldn't rush it. The more he could lower her guard, the better. "What was the ship you ventured here on like?" He inquired curiously, wondering which vessel she had come on.

-------------------------------------------------------

Looking at Killian as he asked what kind of prize they would get other then her affections and she shrugged a bit, biting her lip she looked him in the eyes "to be Prince, with the possible chance of King of Arendelle..." She answered a bit dryly but it was the truth, no point in hiding who she was now. Watching him carefully to judge his reaction to this news. Something she didn't know he already knew. "I try not to tell people cause I don't need the special treatment." She added hoping this would not change everything. She had enjoyed the time out here not being royalty, just another person in the big world. But a part of her felt like everything would change now, little did she know it was the wrong kind of change.

With a nod at his proposition of story telling over dinner on their way to Arendelle. That was something she could do. "I think that sounds delightful, though I am certain you have more stories then I" She knew it for a fact, he owned a ship and traveled where ever he pleased... She spent most of her life behind castle walls unable to even step outside their gates let alone go one grand adventures. This was her first but she was sure it would not be her last. Once she was done with her business things would get better and she would travel more. Maybe find her true love alone the way.

"Surely there are more women then you think, such a handsome man I bet you get lots of ladies wanting you. Would be hard to resist I would think." She lightly teased him again though it was true, he was very attractive and he was incredibly sweet to her. It just made it harder for her to keep a hold of her sister warnings about men. She couldn't let her hopeless romantic side take root when she was so close to home. She didn't need the distraction when her sister needed her.

Killian then spoke about wishing to have time on their side so he could really show her the wonders this world had to offer and to Anna that sounded amazing but alas time was not on her side. But this was not the last he would see of her, she planned on traveling again soon. Perhaps she would call upon him to take her places. As she looked around a flower came into her point of view, and with a little gasp she followed the flower to the man holding it. "Oh thank you so much! I shall truly treasure this gift, and hold you to it. One day." She spoke as her smile grew wider. Taking the flower she smelled it then weaved it into her braid so it sat right above her ear.

As she traveled to his ship she looked around, admiring the craftsmanship. "She is rather beautiful." Anna spoke looking back at Killian as he asked about the last ship she had traveled on. "Oh it was lovely! It held hard working men, they were certainly interesting." She started, a small chuckle escaping her pink lips. "They were awfully smelly and some were a bit rude, but it was to be expected from a pirates ship." Anna bit her lip as she looked back at him. "What a way to start an adventure! A pirate ship!" Thinking back it was a wonderful start to her trip.

It's Always Nice

TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION

She answered his question by revealing the truth about her status. While he was already aware of her royal title, she didn't know that he knew and therefore, he had to feign surprise. His eyes slightly widened as he looked at her with surprise, pretending to take in this supposedly shocking news. He quickly recovered as she explained that she didn't want special treatment.

"It is a rarity to find a royal as humble and modest as you," he told her, creating a tone of admiration and praise while he spoke his words. "If you prefer others to not know, then I shan't announce it to my crew." But again, it was something they already knew. He was just trying to continue to earn and maintain her trust. "You are also quite wise, for not advertising this fact. I hate to think of any trouble befalling you." Oh the irony . . . considering he was said trouble.

She then told him that she would like his plans of having dinner and sharing stories. "I wouldn't be too sure about that, love. I imagine you have quite a few stories yourself. A princess on a journey well away from her kingdom . . . it truly sounds like an adventurous tale indeed." He knew he had stories, of course he did. He was just trying to keep the focus on her. He wanted to appear interested in her, and not just for the physical reasons. He couldn't lure her on the ship if he was too aggressive or too passive. He needed to show just the right amount of interest without unnerving her or causing her to have reason to doubt him.

He cast another playfully arrogant smile as she spoke of all the woman that he would have appealed to. Ah yes. How right she was. But making perverted remarks about all the women he had bedded wasn't exactly a good way to gain a woman's trust or put her mind at ease. There would be time to revisit this subject when he wasn't pretending to be a pansy. "I cannot deny that there is indeed truth to your words," he said playfully. "But there are far less women that capture my interest. You, my lady, have utterly captivated me. So any other woman is of no interest to me right now." He paused for a moment, before continuing, a playfully devious gleam in his eye, meant as flirtation rather than suggesting anything else. "What about you; do you find me, irresistible?" He asked cockily, in good humor and tease.

He watched as she expressed genuine gratitude for the flower, weaving it into her hair. He smiled softly at the sight of it, and in response to her words. "Beautiful," he complimented as he gazed at her, making it clear that he was not referring to the flower, but rather, her. "You must be accustomed to getting far more lavish gifts," he commented. She was after all, a princess. "But if such a small token of my affections can grace your lips with a smile, then I am a lucky and honored man indeed." He could keep this up for quite some time, and would have had they had a night . . . but unfortunately, they were on a schedule. Hans expected her in Hook's clutches at a certain time, before he could boast about having kidnapped the princess to her sister.

As they now reached his ship, she commented on the craftsmanship. He refrained from telling her the name of his ship, just in case she had heard of it before. "Thank you so much, lass," he said proudly. "She and I have been through much together. I can't imagine captaining any other ship." Women would come and go, but a pirate's ship . . . now that was forever. Well, so long as she was a good one. And he knew other pirates like Blackbeard coveted his ship. Which only made Killian enjoy his time on it even more.

He gave a slight chuckle when she spoke of the men she had journeyed with coming here. "I can only imagine," he said with amusement. "Pirates tend to have a reputation as unhygienic, but I assure you, not all are like that." Himself for example. He bathed quite frequently! "I am relieved to hear that no harm came to you during your voyage," he added on, pretending to be concerned about her well being.

"Your bravery truly is admirable. Not many would take such a risk, display such confidence." Once again, his words were meant to flatter her as he paused, looking at her with awe and impressiveness. 'Snapping' out of it, he moved on deck, his men looking at him as they boarded. "This here be my crew," he introduced as they casually stood around the pirate and their new passenger. "Lads, this is Anna. We are to escort her to Arendelle." Something else they already knew but acted as if they didn't . . . in doing so, they all gave quick greetings of 'ayes' and nods.

[Princess Anna]

-------------------------------------------------------

Anna nodded as he complimented her accepting his words, she just hoped that it wouldn't change things, little did she knew things were never as they seemed. And she was falling prey to yet another trap. "I prefer not to be treated any differently. I may be a royal but I am no different then you." She liked seeing herself as if she were like everyone else, though she wasn't but with out the people she wouldn't be who she was today. So in her mind they were no different. Everyone had a title and some less glamorous then her own but that did not mean much to her. "I would like it if you didn't tell your crew. It's nice being no one special sometimes." Anna smiled thinking about everyone she ran into who hadn't noticed her, it was exciting really. No one bowing to her, or holding her at a higher standard. It was almost like a weight off her chest, something that wouldn't last so she enjoyed it for the moment.

"Well it is true this adventure has been quite grand, I am sure your many will be much more interesting. I can't wait to hear about them to." Anna was excited to hear about his adventures, and to dream about what they were like only to hope that one day she could have a whole book of stories of her own! As the conversation jumped around a bit he asked if she found him irresistible and she couldn't help but giggle a bit her eyes scanning his face and a small smirk pulled at the corner of her lips "I think that will stay my little secret." She teased him giving a small turn on her heels letting her dress flow out before falling back down around her. Taking a few more steps away from him and closer to the ship she was about to board.

Talk about lavish gifts was mentioned and it was true she could get just about anything she could ever want either with her money or from her suitors "Yes. But it's not about always about the big lavish things." She grew up with it she didn't need it nor did it have that big of an impact on her. She preferred the thought behind a gift more then the gift itself sometimes. She was unlike any other royal. At least that is how she often felt. The only gift Anna ever wanted was that of true love, something she strived for and often found herself just getting heart broken. It was sometimes hard to learn from her mistake when her heart took lead in many situations.

Walking up on to the ship she saw all the men and everyone greeted her kindly "Hello." Anna repeated a few times to the passing men. "Pirates aren't so bad. Blackhair.. No Blackface... Oh Blackbeard that was it! He was very kind to me." Anna revealed the name of the pirate she had traveled with though it took her a few tries to get his name right. "He seemed a little scary to others who saw him but he never laid a finger on me." Anna smiled waving hi to more of Killian's men. Some had lingering stares and little smirks which only made her wonder but she was trusting Killian that she would be safe.

"So how about this tour, this ship is absolutely beautiful!" Anna looked back to Killian, her hands clasped together in front of her. She was excited but nervous to be going home, letting one hand slide down to her satchel that held everything she needed to help her sister as well as some souvenirs she wished to showcase along with the tale of her adventure. Her eyes darted around the area excited to see more but she couldn't help this strange feeling she was getting but doing her best to brush it off. Her focus was home and between that and Killian she was a bit distracted to truly follow her gut.
