High Tide (Captain Swan)

Chapter 17 : Only Us

He pulled back and I stayed right where I was.

"I'm sorry..." he mumbled. "I don't know what's gotten into me-"

"I liked it." I confessed and looked to the ground.

"Me too." he responded and I looked up.

I took a step forward, grabbed his coat and pressed my lips on his once more. His hands were wrapped around my waist, bringing me closer to his body. It did not feel like a 'one time thing'. It actually felt special, passionate and I kept wanting more, but was that right?

I pulled away, gasping for air and avoided his look again. Could I really do this? I was his prisonner, or at least used to be, since our deal was kind of over. I just kept wondering how could I let myself to feel this way towards that kind of guy? Those feelings had to be wrong.

"We- we should get going. I have people waiting for me." I stuttered, still avoiding his blue eyes.

"You're right." He answered and started to walk. I followed.

We stayed silent and kept walking for a while. At some point, he took a few sips of rum and I did understand him. This situation was more than messed up.

We walked and did not stop. I was tired, hungry and thirsty, but I was afraid to talk. If we weren't in this place, alone, I could've walked away, but I did not know this island. He was my only way back to my family.

"C-Can we just stop?" I finally said and he turned around. I sat down and leaned on a tree.

"Are you alright?" He asked. I simply closed my eyes and sighted.

"Yeah, I just need a break." I answered. He got his rum bottle and gave it to me.

"That's all we have for now, save what's left, but you still need to drink up. I know what we can't or can't eat so I'll tell you if we come across anything we can eat." He added.

"Thanks." I simply responded and took a small sip of rum.

He sat down next to me and again, I did not look at him.

"We can't really pretend like it didn't happen." he said.

"Well for now, we need to." I snaped and got up. "I'm good, we can keep walking."

"Sure."

"Here we are, Baelfire's home." the captain declared as we arrived in front of what looked like a rock. He pulled a rope and a part of the rock lifted in the air, which created an entrance. As he attached the rope, I got inside. I found what seemed like half of a coconut that looked like a candle. With magic, I lit it up. On the walls were markings, like he had counted the days of his stay on this stupid island. At some point, it looked like he stopped and I knew it wasn't because he was out, it's because he had given up. I totally understood him.

Hook had entered too started to look around.

"What are we looking for?" I asked.

"I don't know." He answered.

"You don't know? You brought me here to find somethings, but you don't know what it is?!"

"Well, I-"

The rock from the entrace fell in a loud thud. The only light we had was the candle I had lit.

"Is there another way out?" I asked, a little pannicked.

"No, there isn't. What about your magic?" He suggested.

"Good call."

I gave him the candle, placed my hands and concentrated on trying to push the rock. A shot of light came out of my hands, but the walls started to shine in a green color and both me and the captain found ourselves on the floor. At least, the candle did not light the whole thing on fire.

"Pan..." He said, furious.

"We can't get out," I declared. "so where stuck here forever?"

"That means he wants something and he'll be there soon. He's just having fun, playing his games." Hook answered.

I leaned on the rock wall and took a deep breath. My head was hurting, I was still exhausted and now trapped in a cave, with no way out, waiting for a teeange demon to talk to us.

Hook started to talk but I didn't really hear what he was saying. My vision was getting more and more troubled until everything went black and I fell on my side.
