"I can.. also I think there is a place in the center of the Island.. there is a stream that runs down the hill with plenty of fresh water..."
Ariel knew that place well.. but he couldn't find her hiding place could he? and if he did it was just a bunch of human stuff.

"Well I know how I can get there.. you on the other hand is a different matter.. I guess you can follow the stream.. it should lead you to the waterfall and that will have water for you..Its in the middle of the Island" She told him.
Ariel wondered why she cared if he had what he needed.. she should just go back to her family and sisters.. but she wanted to know more this was her only chance.

"No, see, what I mean is.... "He stood," Nevermind, maybe it'd be best if I found it myself"

"Wait... "" Her voice sounded across the waves.
She swam closer to him. "What do you mean?"

"How can I help you find anything.. I have to stay in the water?" She was confused.
"I get there though a passage underwater.. you would surely die trying to get there"

"I see.... could you at least show me the side of the island the stream begins on? I mean, it has to lead in or out of the island right?"

She looked at him as if studying his face for a moment.
"Okay..you will have to follow me on the beach and its a small stream.." She began to swim following the cost line. "Follow me"

She led him to the stream "Here" She gestured to the small stream.
"Follow it and you will find the waterfall" She dove into the water and was gone for several minutes. When she broke the surface she had a few fish in her hand.
"I am guessing you will know what to do with these?" She held them out to him.
"I should go now.." Ariel told him.

Hook smiled and took the fish from her," Thank you Ariel, you've been a great help to me... I hope I'll see you again tomorrow Love"

"I'll meet you on the rock again" and with that she dove into the dark waters and was gone.

He watched her go, Hook knew it wasn't going to be as simple as he wished to gain her trust... but maybe if he was patient and not as arrogant as he was with Maleficent, he could use her to get off the island.
In the meantime what he said about food and freshwater had been true. Hook followed the stream carrying the fish in his arms and sure enough there was the waterfall and the water was fresh.

A few days later Maleficent returned to the island, to sort through the mess in that cavern once again. And once again, NO INK. The Dark Fairy kicked over a chest of "treasures" and stormed out of the opening. Regina was armed with access to a book, written completely with such ink. And Rumpelstiltskin had the means to procure the ink himself. Only Maleficent had little experience with the element... something she deeply wanted to rectify. Apparently the ink had the potential to amplify magic... or bind it.
Perhaps she should fall back on the Pirate as a back up plan. Maleficent sighed, annoyed at that idea. She wanted nothing more then for him to go insane on this island, with only a creature as selfish as a mermaid to keep him company for the rest of his days.
...but knowing that something as treacherous as the Dark Curse existed in this world and having no way to defend herself against it made her desperate. Maleficent glanced at the cloudy orb at the top of her staff. She held it closer to herself, knowing that the tiny scroll with the unholy words laid within. She would rather die than... than never REMEMBER.
Reluctantly she snapped her polished fingers. Purple smoke engulfed her and whisked her away to her target. When the smoke cleared, she found herself deeper in the island, near the fresh water stream. She looked down from her ledge, saw the pirate fishing. She frowned to herself: he didn't look malnourished nor did he bear evidence of having grappled with some sort of carnivorous beast in the past few days.
The Dark Fairy gracefully extended her arm and her companion crow landed on her ring finger. The mermaid was no where in sight for the time being. Maleficent stroked its belly with thanks for it's diligent scouting.
Without taking her eyes away from the crow, she spoke, loud enough for the pirate below to hear. "I see that the island has been treating you well... Pity."
