Hi Everyone! Sorry it's been so long since the last time I've uploaded anything! I've been really busy but here I am now =)

This is a little something that I came up with after Captain Hook was introduced to OUAT. I love him as a character and figured I would write a story about him with an OC/Fairytale character. As you read on more will be explained about the fairytale I used and how I tied certain things together! I hope you readers like it, I've been working my butt off!

And also, I am definitely still working on my Tony Stark story-for those who are reading this and have also read my first story! I'm actually working on it right now! Sorry that it's taken so long. I was a bit stuck on that but I now have a course and will be posting it as soon as I finish ^_^

Now. I hope you enjoy!

A Winter's Night

"Who was it that bested you?"

No, things were not supposed to be like this.

"…The swan girl, Emma. Rest assured it won't happen again."

The water was beginning to run too deep for him.

A cold laughed joined in with the sound of the soft raindrops pattering against the woman's umbrella. "No, it won't." Her almost paralyzing smile disappeared, causing a set of chills to run up the pirate's spine. "You chose her and the consequences of that decision."

He had to keep a brave face. There was too much at stake for him. "Oh? You going to kill me now? Go head. Try."

Killian was going to get to Storybrooke, no matter what the cost.

Cora gave the man a mocking smile as she chuckled, though Hook found nothing humorous about the situation. He watched as the woman gave him a challenging gaze. "How brave. But no, I'm not going to kill you."

Yes, that was it. He just needed to gain control of the momentum of the conversation. That was all. Then he'd be back on the fast track to where he needed to go and find who he needed to find.

"I'm going to leave you here with your thirst of revenge unquenched." Killian had not been expecting that sort of reaction from his partner. "You will never get to see that pretty little flower of yours again either." Every fiber in the pirate's body burned as the last phrase ran through him. Something inside of the former captain snapped but he did well to control his temper.

There was so much more riding on his arrival to Storybrooke than revenge.

Concealing the slight panic that welled up inside of him, Killian put on his best smirk as he took a few steps closer to the older woman. "Let's not be rash," he tried to reason as he stared into Cora's eyes, the two being close enough that their breaths began intermixing together. "I'm sure we can discuss this." If there was one thing the pirate knew how to do right it was use his body.

"Your pretty face can buy you a lot," Cora complimented before her smile dropped completely, the playfulness that had once been present completely gone and replaced with a much more piercing tone. "But not my time. It's far too precious."

The unsettling feeling in Killian's gut began to rise as his smirk fell and his strategy changing quickly. "I can do this. You need me."

"No, I don't!" the sorceress replied back with a soft chuckle. She turned and began to walk away as her former partner watched her with disdain pooling from his luminescent blue eyes. "You had your chance. Now it's my turn to do this, the right way."

No, no, no.

Without a second thought, Killian released a feral growl and lunged at Cora, though the woman disappeared, a cloud of bluish smoke left in her trail. The young man fell to the ground, and for a second he let his face soak the dirt up. He slowly let his head rise as he sighed and shook his it. He rolled on to his back and stared up at the night sky; where the hell had things gone wrong for him?

No, now wasn't the time to start pointing fingers. If Killian was going to get what he wanted he needed to be calculating and manipulative. He needed to be the pirate that he was. Deciding to stay calm, he sat up and wiped the specks of dirt and rain from his face. He had to refocus and remind himself of what he was doing and why he was doing it. He needed to remember who he was doing this for.

Indeed, revenge was one of the utmost important reasons why he needed to get to Storybrooke, but there was one other thing that matched its importance. The only thing left that mattered to him was now in Storybrooke and one way or another he was going to get it back.

He was going to get her back.
