"You thought what, Swan?" Hook asked just before she left," That after three hundred years I'd forget why I was here in the first place?"
She could never understand, no one ever seemed to when it came to Milah, Ariel and Else tried but even they became frustrated with him. He sighed and laid back down against the cot, he might try picking the lock later, but he was still feeling the repercussions of the Taser.

"No." She growled, stopping short of the exit. She spun on her heel, stalking right up to the cell, eyes flashing. "No. I THOUGHT, when you handed over Aurora's heart to be returned, that maybe... JUST MAYBE there was more to you then some broken down cripple, OVER COMPENSATING for his own insecurities, CLAIMING it's all in the name of avenging his true love." She said sharply. "But I was wrong. There's nothing more... nothing more than... than this..." She held up his hook in disgust.
"Fine then. Whatever." She roughly adjusted her jacket on her shoulders. "Thanks for once for proving something that I was starting to forget: there is no changing people like US." She blinked at what she had just said, realizing her mistake.
"...YOU... People like you..." It was just a slip of the tongue, but the twinge in her heart knew it was from somewhere deep down. Damn Leroy and his cheap vodka. She turned away from him, clutching at that hook, willing herself NEVER to fall down to that low... but she was already on a fast track down that path and she knew it. She shoved the damn hook in her pocket.

"right..." He watched her clumsily place his Hook in her pocket, not making eye contact with him- AVOIDING it as she once again started to leave.
Hook mentally filed that away for further use, but... almost grudgingly so. It surprised him... but he was so tired of fighting. After seeing Vlad almost get him tasered in what he assumed was an attempt to get them both killed, and then seeing the afterlife he was hoping he'd find Milah in someday, the words that Ariel and Else had probably echoed to him a thousand times started running through his head.
Is this really what Milah would have wanted from him? It scared him to think he may have wasted lifetimes over something Milah would have disapproved of, the way he was trying to avenge her
He shook that thought away, Emma was right- this is what he was. And that wasn't about to change.

Vlad slammed himself with all his might against the mental prison that the pirate was keeping him in... to control him.
"You can't keep me like this FOREVER, Pirate!" the barbarian prince spat. "I will bring you to your KNEES.. and not even your BEGGING will satisfy me... I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!" More mental slams. "And then WHO will avenge your whore?"

Hook groaned and rubbed his temples," Because a monster like you has ANY understanding of my love"
The mental chambers of his consciousness filled with fire and brimstone, complete rage.
"At least I didn't steal away a child to quench my 'thirst'" He snapped, squeezing and crushing the walls around the prince

Vlad only spat at him. "I see into your SOUL, pirate... you cannot even DARE to claim that LOVE made you steal a woman from her husband and child... to make a WHORE of her first..." The Prince seethed. As for Elisabeth... he didn't volunteer anything about that transaction. For that is what it had been in the beginning. A scared little country offering up their prized virgin Princess to sate a ruthless Warrior.
And he had threatened her, ignored her, forgotten her... until... years later... that day when he was coming home. She and her handmaidens at the lake that looked so blue on that day... her wet shift clinging to her now womanly form...
Vlad shook his head roaring, knowing that the pirate was seeing this, their souls bound so tightly together in this confined body. He could sense the insulting amusement coming from Hook. The Prince shook with rage.
"That is NOT YOURS to see... I will gouge out your eyes, Pirate..."

"No need to worry, Bartered women really aren't my favorite of fantasies" Hook sneered, Hook was beginning to feel these threats becoming more intense, they were meer idle words a flamboyant foreigner was throwing about- and yet Hook's thoughts were unchained, relentlessly attacking the other man.
"Milah chose me, and I always gave her the freedom to go back, go home, but we were home- you took a beautiful image of a woman and locked her away in a prison," He laughed," she was bound to you forced to love a monster like you- if you can even call that love"

"She was a prisoner... she could have hated me... despised me.... I despised myself..." Words and emotions were just pouring out, in violent waves... menacing at first, meant to bit back... but thoughts of Elisabeth... only Elisabeth... could calm him.
"...but she chose to love me... she saved me..." It was strange how their voices, Vlad's and Hook's, couldn't be distinguished with that thought...
She had saved him... from the nightmare that he had become. Of night's as a child prisoner in a distant land... a prince offering to his nation's enemies... beaten abused, violated in every way that could be wrought upon a human until they broke... hardened... and became a mindless machine of violence...
And Elisabeth had still found something in him worth loving... he didn't understand it...but selfishly he clung to it until he reciprocated it back... finally understanding that he could love...
She HAD loved him... enough to...when she thought he was dead...
Hook could feel a rogue tear fall down his face, seeing the young woman slack and broken, drenched in the the river's wetness... And felt the searing hot fury at the injustice of it. Enough to give himself over...
Vlad was in control again. He stood up, pacing in the confining cell.

At first Hook tried to regain control, fearing the things Vlad would do to his body, but he could feel the violence disapate as Vlad was thinking of his wife.... this Elizabeth. Honestly, Hook felt sympathy for the man.... Milah had changed him. Taught him what it was to care and love for someone other than himself- even if he hadn't been vey good at it since she'd left.
He'd wrapped himself up trying to revert to his old ways thinking he'd be less vulnerable, but so far it'd only brought him grief.
Strange how much one person could impact a man.
"And like Elisabeth saved you, have to save Milah.... if my soul is damned so be it," He said solemly," But Milah is- was everything to me, despite what anyone else says or thinks she was a goddess, and she deserves a peaceful afterlife"

Vlad checked the jail's imprisonment for a weakness with one hand. He growled and grunted with frustration when he could not find one.
This man's feelings for his 'Milah' were strong indeed... paralleling his own... but he shrugged it off roughly. Vlad was not a man who expressed feelings to anyone... except for his wife.
"So... you're selfless, noble intentions to save your love..." Vlad said out loud, finally sitting down with a huff. "Only made possible by destroying the peaceful afterlife of another. Does your goddess approve?"
Vlad gave up control, going inward... but REFUSING to go back into that mental block, drawing out his sword to cut off the head of anyone who tried to force him back into it. "I DESERVE hell. I will happily embrace it as penance for the blemish upon God's earth that is my life... but..." Vlad almost wavered. "...You didn't even let me say goodbye... I... I didn't get to say goodbye..."

"I didn't get to say goodbye either... or even tell her I love her" Hook sighed, he couldn't say whether Milah would approve... or perhaps he didn't want to think about it, already knowing the answer.
"Had you been in my situation, Elisabeth's afterlife paradise in the balance, wouldn't you hav done the same?"

"It is NOT paradise..." Vlad bit out at him. "It is a place of waiting... of restlessness. Only made bearable with the company of loved ones..."
"You're Milah was ALONE, pirate..." The Romanian prince was going to drive the knife in deeper but he stopped, seemingly backing away. Aside from a faint flutter to remind Hook of the presence of another... he was silent.

Hook cringed at the thought, Milah wandering aimlessly, alone and without rest. The silence of the warrior prince was surprising actually, though relieving.
He let out a breath, appreciating the control he had over his body again and wandered back to the cot. Hoping he'd be able to sleep with this other being in his body.

"Well, hello, my dear Captain..." Came a smooth voice from outside of the cell. "And all gift-wrapped and ready to go? Very accommodating..."
Dracula made his way over to the cell, he could see the faint line of magic around the cell. A minor set-back... though it would drain him slightly.
Peered in through the cell, cocking his head. "And is that my brooding soul that I sense? Wiggling about where it does not belong?" He laughed, pleased. "Hope you two have been getting along..."

Hook shot up, Dracula's voice being one of the few that actually made him nervous.
"Thats one way to put it," He said be grudgeingly. Hook swung his legs over the side of the cot and walked over to the bars," Maleficent and I had a bit of a disagreement on the way back to you.... you can thank her for the small detour"
