The Red Queen

Heart is Lonely Hunter

             Freya came to the vault to Regina and found their mother she was speaking of mending their family bonds and starting anew she said "Hello mother, come to spin lies and what not?" in sarcastic tone of voice Cora turned to Freya she said "Freya, my daughter you've grown into a fierce woman" she said "Save your pleasantries for someone who gives a damn because I don't believe anything you say" she said "I hurt you Freya, just like I hurt Regina I've learned that love isn't weakness it's power and I want to right by you two, if you let me?" Freya feeling being lied to and betrayed has rocked her core she couldn't tell if mommy dearest is sincere or not or if she's desperate to have what she longed for as Hook stated "to be loved" she said "Prove it, help Regina get Henry back the right way no scheming and hidden agendas once you do that then we'll see about a fresh start, mother". Freya knows mommy dearest will reveal her true plans it was a matter of time while she reminiscent about the past in Wonderland she remembered first meeting Captain Hook it was all over talk regarding Red Jewel of Wonder a gem of pure glory and power worth more than a sultan's treasury deposit but no one really knew what it looked like all they knew was it resided in the Red King's castle in a safely guarded room in a display case of course Captain Hook wasn't just any common thief he was a pirate and figured it was a challenge. He came to the room and was able to pick the gem off of it display with a trick he seen others do when he looked at it he couldn't believe his eyes that something so small would cause such a fuss until he was captured by the red guards he put up a good fight he was brought to the Red Queen's feet she was decorating the castle for Red King hoping he would pay attention to her she greeted the pirate as she was seeing the man who risked it all for some cheap trinket she said "May I ask the man who risked it all for some measly trinket his name before he dies?" he said "Name is Killian Jones but most people like to call me by my colorful moniker" she said "I'm not most people, I'm a Queen" he said "Captain Hook" she said "Well Capt. Hook was it worth it? To break into my home and steal this gem?" he said "I heard stories of the Red Jewel of Wonder a gem of pure glory and power being worth more than the sultan's treasury and with that I would use it to get my revenge on the man who ruined my life" she laughed as did everyone else around her he said "What's funny?" she said "You've come along way pirate, I hate to break it to you but that jewel you desperately sought isn't what it appears to be" he said "What?" she said "Instead of dying today, perhaps the dungeon stay would do you quite nicely guards take him to the dungeon" he went off. In the dungeon he tried to understand what the Red Queen about the gem being not what it appears to be he said "Hey guard, what did the Red Queen mean about the gem?" he said nothing a prisoner on the other side of him said "You're not really from around here are you?" he said "What gave that away?" he said "Everyone in Wonderland knows what the Red Jewel of Wonder is, and it's not a gem it's a person" he said "A person? I heard stories of it being.." he said "That's because here in Wonderland we like to boast about how wonders" he said "Who's the person?" he said "The Red Queen of course, have you seen her? She's a goddess" he said "A goddess? She seemed menacing?" he said "Well, have you taken into what has been happening since your arrival?" he said "People decorating? Some party perhaps" he said "The party is for the Red Queen a gift for the Red King which of late has been keeping secrets and only sees the Red Queen as red jewel that he has to keep locked and on display" he said "So she's the glory and power but yet alone" he said "Yes" he said "How do you know all this stuff?" he said "Spent my time here in the castle and argued with the queen over color choices" he said "So the queen isn't getting much love is she?" he said "Not ever, she was made a queen because her beauty was beyond breath-taking and the Red King figured he should have her so no one else will". Hook escaped the dungeon and went to seek an audience with The Red Queen himself he found her in her chambers she was quite stunning he said "You should know keeping a pirate in a dungeon was a mistake because he can break out" she turned

to see him she said "What do you want?" he said "I see that you're throwing a party for one that doesn't seem to care about you and that's quite a crime given someone very enchanting like yourself" she said "I don't need your pity" she walked from him he said "I've seen a lot on my adventures but you are something quite else, something far better than any sunken treasure" she said "You don't know me" he said "You never knew love, to feel it" she said "Love, is a rare jewel that I've yet to see, please leave" he said "As you wish, milady" he went to go he said "You're a queen you're deserved to be seen and heard not locked away like a priceless jewels" she said "Wait". She walked up to him he said "Milady?" she said "No one has ever spoke to me like the way you have, perhaps I've been more like a prisoner than a queen, I do deserve love"

her eyes looking into his she felt this spark between them  he went and leaned into kissing her

she felt her heart aflutter and racing beyond anything she ever felt before she wiped tears from her face as she remembered the first sign she was in love but too stubborn to admit it.
