"So, pirate, what the hell are you doing in my tower?"
Hook groaned in pain as he tried to break out of the binds the woman had in him, but it was no use.
"I'm feeling genrous, so I'll ask you again. What are you doing in my tower?" she asked.
"I didn't...I didn't know this was your tower. I thought it belonged to Snow White" he said, trying to catch his breath as the vines made it hard for him to breathe.
"Of course. Leave it to that princess to write me out of the story" the woman sneered.
"Aurelia?"
Hook looked up, to see Henry standing next to a blonde woman he assumed was Emma and was grateful that he was back and apparently knew the woman who was squeezing the life out of him.
But when Aurelia looked up at Emma, the hateful look in her eyes only grew. "You" she growled.
"Wait? Aurelia what are you doing here?" Henry asked.
"She's the one Snow tasked to guard the tower," Emma told him.
"Guard the tower?" Aurelia laughed. "That blood sucking vulture banished me here, to keep an eye on you. But I know the real reason. Her stupid mirror told her she was no longer the fairest one in the land. So she had to get rid of me. But I guess if I kill you, I'll get to leave."
Hook fell to the ground as the vines let him go and a black ball of magic appeared in Aurelia's hands.
"Wait. Wait. You can't kill her!" Henry said.
"Yes, I can. She's the reason I'm here" Aurelia said, glaring at Emma.
"No, she's the not. It's the author's fault that your here" Henry said.
"Who?"
"It's a long story, but he's the one who took away your happy ending. We can help you get it back" Henry said.
"You? A child, a one handed pirate, and her. The woman who's been locked up for years. She looks like she'd turn to dust if I just pushed her over" Aurelia said, her arms crossed.
"Hey!" Emma said, looking down at her clothes. They were torn and ratted. Her hair probably wasn't any better. She looked like hell.
"I know that Snow White has your brother. She's using his heart to control him" Henry said. Aurelia looked at him and marched up to him.
"How do you know about David?" she asked.
"I told you. The author. He changed everything. But if you help us we can fix it" Henry said.
Aurelia looked between the three of them, her gaze on Hook lasting the longest and she could have sworn that she knew him.
"Fine. But if you're lying to me I will kill all you very painfully and slowly before putting your head on spikes to warn others of what happenes when they cross me" she said, before turning on her heel and walking out.
