Hook waited for a while to see if Kassidy would come out of the cabin. He wasn't even sure what he would do if she did. He felt a mix of anger and even though he hated it, he felt guilty. Somehow this insane blonde headed demon girl had grown fond of him and he began to rethink everything. Killing her friend, Nearly dehydrating her to death when he first brought her on his ship, Every time he had ever put his hands on her. and the more he thought, the angrier he got. He stood up and kicked the crate he had been sitting on across the ship.
"Fuck!" He shouted and paced. This was supposed to be simple. Kidnap the princess, make her as miserable as possible in return making the king miserable for the years of misery he felt. It was never supposed to end up like this. She was not supposed to actually start to like him. She was supposed to hate him and he was supposed to hate her he wasn't supposed to feel bad.
Hook walked back over to the door.
"Open the door lass." He said.
"No." She said quietly.
"I Just want to talk."
"I have nothing to say to you. If you want to talk go pay another whore to keep you company." Kassidy spat.
Hook growled
"Fine! Stay in there! Rot in there for all I fucking care." He shouted and stormed off the ship, desperately needing a drink and perhaps someone to clear up his confusing feelings for him.
Kassidy waited until it was quiet before she lifted her magic on the door and walked out of the Cabin and wandering around on deck.
"If you're looking for the Captain he's back at the Tavern"
Kassidy jumped nearly out of her skin and spun around.
"Oh my Gods..Smee!" Kassidy hissed.
"My apologies, Princess." Smee said
"For the record, I wasn't looking for him. He'd probably like nothing more than to run me through with his sword." Kassidy sighed and looked over the side of the ship at the water.
"Maybe, maybe not." Smee shrugged and joined her. "Do you remember what you said to me last night?"
"Unfortunately."
"You've grown fond of the Captain." Smee smiled.
"Choose your next words wisely Mr. Smee as they may be your last." Kassidy said glaring at him. "Why would I have feelings for a man who took me prisoner?
"Maybe because you realized he's not as bad as the people you've known your whole life." Smee shrugged. Kassidy rolled her eyes.
"I need a drink." She sighed and turned around and started making her way off the ship.
"Are you sure that's a good idea? Captain is there."
"Well, Good, he can buy my drinks." Kassidy smirked. Smee sighed and followed her. The two of them would be the death of him.
"Well, look what the cat dragged in." Hook shouted from across the Tavern as Kassidy walked in followed by Smee who was trying to catch his breath
"Must you walk so fast princess?" He asked and then looked at Kassidy who was already making her way to the table with a look in her eyes that was just asking for trouble. Kassidy looked the Captain up and down. He had a Wench in his lap and his hand stuck up her skirts. Kassidy plopped down across from him.
"I see you took my advice." She sneered.
"Kassidy, meet Lyra. We are going to have a few drinks and then go back to the ship. You are welcome to come watch. According to Mr. Smee you are into that."
Kassidy glared at Smee.
"Sorry princess." Smee muttered.
"As thrilling as that sounds Captain, I'm really not interested in watching this woman make you her bitch." She said and raised a challenging eyebrow at him. Hook narrowed his icy eyes at her in warning. She took his drink from him.
"This is mine now. Enjoy your wench Captain." Kassidy stood up and moved to a different table.
"What..the bloody hell does she think she's doing?" Hook asked.
"I wouldn't know." Smee replied.
Kassidy sat to herself. Every now and then she would glance up and Hook made sure that when she did he would get flirty with his Wench.
"Fucking disgusting.." Kassidy muttered.
"May I sit with you?"
Kassidy looked up and almost gasped at the incredibly handsome man standing across from her. He had chestnut colored hair that fell just above his minty eyes. She glanced over at Hook who was suddenly staring daggers at her.
Oh, I have your attention now Captain. Good.
"Yes, you may." She smiled at the man. She extended her hand as he sat down.
"Kassidy." She introduced herself. The man took her hand in his and kissed it.
"Colvin." He smiled. "I'm sorry, I just saw you sitting here and waited for the longest time expecting you to be with someone but no one came."
"Oh, it's okay. Yeah I'm alone" She lied.
"I find that hard to believe." Colvin chuckled. "Surely someone as beautiful as you has someone with her."
Kassidy blushed.
"No, not me." She smiled she was not even paying attention to Hook anymore.
Hook glared and finished his fourth rum.
"Smee! Another." He commanded.
"M..maybe you should slow down." Smee suggested.
"Are you defying an order from your Captain?" Hook questioned.
"No sir." Smee replied and called a bar wench over to bring them more drinks.
"Maybe we could get out of here Captain. I could help you relax." Lyra smiled.
"When I ask for your opinion, you may speak." Hook snapped watching Kassidy and the foolish boy who thought it would be a good idea to sit with her. He didn't understand why he was so angry about it, but he was and every time she smiled at the boy he felt a tug in his chest. Who was this boy to talk to her? Who was he to look at his princess? He felt enraged when he watched her put her hand in his and laugh at something he said. That was enough of that.
"Up." He commanded. The Wench stood up off of his lap. "Are we leaving Captain?"
"I don't require your services anymore." He growled pushing his way past her and to Kassidy's table.
Kassidy looked up at him. She could smell the rum on his breath from a mile away. He glared at her as he stood in front of the table.
"May I help you?" She asked.
"You are to sit with me for the rest of the night." Hook growled.
"Excuse me sir, she is just fine sitting here." Colvin said. Hook lifted his hooked arm and brought it down into the table in front of Colvin making the both of them jump.
"C..captain Hook." Colvin stuttered and looked at Kassidy. "I thought you said you were alone."
"I'm not with him." Kassidy said and glared at Hook. "Go back to your ship, you are drunk."
"No. You, Go back to my table, or the next thing I bury my Hook in will be his chest!"
Colvin stood up.
"I..don't want any trouble." He said. "I didn't know she was yours."
"I'm NOT his." Kassidy said defensively.
"He seems to think so and I'm not arguing with Captain Hook, I value my life." Colvin said. "Sorry, Kassidy." He added and hurried off. Kassidy glared at Hook.
"Really?" She asked.
"I gave you an order." He spat.
"What happened to your Wench? I thought she was keeping you busy." Kassidy sneered. Hook glared and grabbed her arm pulling her from her seat and nearly dragging her outside with him.
"Ow! Hook you are hurting me!" Kassidy said and tried to wiggle out of his grip but he only squeezed her arm harder as he marched her to the ship.
"You are drunk Hook. Just.. go sleep it off."
"No! How dare you?" He asked.
"How dare I what?" Kassidy asked.
"How dare you of all people care for me?"
"Care for you?" Kassidy snorted. "I'd like to push you off your own plank!"
"Don't lie to me! Smee told me everything!" He growled holding her arms with bruising grip. Shaking her.
"Let me go!" She yelled.
"You are supposed to hate me! You weren't supposed to start feeling!" He slurred.
Kassidy finally wiggled free from him.
"I Don't have feelings for you!" She lied. "I don't know what Smee said, but I don't."
"Then why did you get so bloody pissed off earlier??"
"I don't know.." Kassidy shrugged.
"Liar." Hook spat.
"Okay. I have feelings for you?? You just threatened to Kill a man because I was sitting with him. Who has feelings for Who Hook?!" Kassidy demanded.
"You dare assume that I would ever have feelings for you?!" Hook demanded. "I could never, you share his Blood! And He killed the only person left in this world that I did care for. So how dare YOU assume that I could EVER feel for you?! You disgust me."
"I disgust you?" Kassidy snorted. "Says the man who has to pay people to fuck him. You. Disgust. Me." She sneered.
"I do, Do I?" Hook glared stepping forward with a menacing look in his eyes. She had never seen him like this. She backed away but he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to him tightly.
"Seems like I could do whatever I wanted to you, for free." He hissed
"Let go of me!" Kassidy squirmed and hit his chest. "You're drunk and I don't want to hurt you!"
"You don't want to hurt me? But I disgust you!" He chuckled darkly and grabbed a fist full of her hair crashing his lips into hers. Kassidy pulled away.
"Stop! Not like this!" She cried.
"Not like this? I'm a pirate love, I take what I want." He grinned.
"Don't make me hurt you. Please." She begged with tears running down her face. Hook wrestled her to the deck. His hook was tearing at her clothes.
"Stop!" She screamed and tried to fight him off without using her magic. She truly did not want to hurt him.
"This is what you wanted." Hook growled. "This is what you have feelings for!"
"No.." Kassidy sobbed. She had no choice at this point he wasn't going to stop.
"I'm sorry." She said and blasted him off of her with her magic He landed with a thud on the deck a few feet in front of her unconcious. Kassidy stood and walked away from him shaking and sobbing. She walked down to were the crew slept and found and empty cot and curled up on it rocking and crying herself to sleep.
"Have you seen Kassidy?" Hook asked Smee the next morning. He had nearly no recollection of last night, he remembered threatening the boy at the Tavern and waking up on the deck with a splitting headache. the rest was blank and he was actually concerned something had happened to her and he didn't know why he just had a horrible feeling. Why did he suddenly care?
"Aye, shes sleeping in the quarters below." Smee replied.
"With the rest of the crew??" Hook exclaimed before making his way to where the rest of the crew slept hoping no one had touched her. He sighed in relief when he saw her sleeping to herself. She was curled up in fetal position. He ran his hand up the bruises all over her arms wondering where the hell they came from. She stirred and blinked her eyes open rolling over she took one look at him and jumped out of bed picking up the first thing she could find and holding it out as a weapon.
"Easy.." Hook said and put his hand up.
"You get the fuck away from me." She hissed. Hook looked thoroughly confused. He understood he hadn't treated her the best since she had been on the ship but this was the first time he had seen her genuinely terrified of him.
"What happened to you?" Hook asked.
"You don't remember?" Kassidy asked putting her weapon down.
"No. I don't. Why are you sleeping in here? What happened to your arms? Did that boy from the Tavern do this?" He asked.
Kassidy scoffed.
"No. Hook. He didn't. You honestly don't remember?" She asked.
"No. Could you be less cryptic and fill me in on your latest grievance with me?" He asked.
"It...no. Nevermind." Kassidy said and walked past him. He put his hand on her wrist and pulled her back. She flinched and cowered under his grasp and then he realized what was wrong. It all came back to him in one painful flash. He let go of her wrist and stepped away from her. He may have been a mean son of a bitch but he tried to make it a point to never force a woman into anything like that and even if she was the daughter of the man he hated He couldn't believe that he almost did that to her. He was disgusted with himself. What would Liam have thought about this? What would Milah have thought? Surely both of them would have been severely disappointed.
"Kassidy.." Hook said.
"Just.. don't." She said. "Please. I'd..like to forget it ever happened." She said and walked back up to the main deck. Hook sat down on the cot she had just been sleeping on and ran his hand over his face and into his hair.
"I'm..sorry." He choked out.
