                                     Hayden POV 


We were on our way back to the safe haven. 

"I don't know if I can do this. I'm not a very good liar." Aurora says I am walking next to Mulan

" Well, it's not really a lie, Aurora. did die an honorable death and did escape. All true. Just... leave the particulars to us. There's no reason to cause unnecessary panic amongst your people." Grandma says 

" I'm not so sure it's unnecessary..." Aurora says 

"Not to interrupt, But isn't there supposed to be someone up there?" I ask pointing to the tower

" She's right  The tower. We always have sentries guarding the entrance. " Mulan says 

she drawing her sword

 "Stay close." Mulan says 

We seen nothing but bodies everywhere

" Oh my God." Mom says

"This can't be. Our land, we were protected here, hidden. How did the ogres find us?" Mulan says 

" Ogres didn't do this." Grandma says 

" What?" Mulan asks

"Cora did. Their hearts... they were ripped out. This was her ... twisted and evil. We have to stop her." Grandma says 

" Too late. She killed them. She killed them all." Mulan says 

" We have to stop her before she hurts anyone else." Grandma says 

I see a hand waving from under the bodies. 

"Mom," I say 

She sees where I was looking

" Hey. Hey. Look." Mom says 

"There's someone under there. He's alive." Aurora says 

"Please." The man says he's in rags but I can see a nice vest underneath I recognize  him from the book He's Captain Hook!

" It's okay." Aurora says 

"Please help me." Hook says 

"It's okay. You're safe now we won't hurt you." Aurora says 

"Thank you. Thank you." Hook says 

Mom and the others are away. I sit at the table across from him. I smile at him. 

"Can I help you?" He asks. 

"Please don't pretend I know who you are." I say 

I look around 

I put the side of my hand near my mouth 

"You're Captain Hook." I whisper 

He smirked at me. 

"Don't worry I won't tell." I say as I smile 

"You're alright lass." He says winking at me

I wink back at him 

 "Here you go."  Mom says setting a cup in front of hook

" I can't thank you enough for your kindness. Fortune it seems has seen fit to show me favor." Hook says as he takes a sip of water
