Heaven or Hell (The demon and the angel sequel) {💯%}

8. Please...

Caleb pov:
So the week flew by and I got tied up at the town square.
I saw king Ben and former king Adam standing a few feet away from me and more people walked to the scene.
I knew what was coming and yes I was scared as hell.
I even noticed that mr. Hook and his daughters were standing nearby...
I looked towards them and the girls seemed confused of what was going on and mr. Hook didn't even care... because he had no heart... and that was my fault! Then miss Jane got killed because she protected me!
All of it was my fault! I ruined their family!
Former king Adam looked at king Ben.
"Go on then." he said and king Ben looked at me.
"No, I believe him. It wasn't him. Why would he kill one of the parents who adopted him, after so many families?"
"You clearly don't have the stomach to be a king on this part."
Former king Adam grabbed the gun out of king Ben's hands and pointed it at me.
I swallowed and a tear fell down my cheek.
"We give you the punishment of what you did to Jane. Death." he said.
I looked at him.
"You're right. I did kill her. But not like you think. She protected me. Maleficent wanted to kill me for some reason but miss Jane pulled me behind her. If I wasn't there she'd be still alive. So yea, it is my fault." I said and the crowd started murmuring.
I looked towards mr. Hook and he still had this emotionless look of his face.
"It's also my fault that the Hook family was falling apart. Because mr. Hook lost his heart thanks to me as well. Also because he was protecting me. Maleficent took it after she said she'd let me live..."
"Liar." Former king Adam said.
"It's the truth! Even though they promised not to send me back to the orphan house, they should've never adopted me!" I yelled and king Ben out a hand on former king Adam's arm to lower the gun slowly.
"No. I know your kind. You're just like your father. He always lied to get everything he wanted. You're just like Pan." Former king Adam said and he instanly pointed the gun at me again.
"No- I swear!" I said, knowing it had no use.
I closed my eyes and heared a gunshot.
But... I didn't feel any pain...
I opend my eyes and saw Quinn laying in front of me...
"No!" I yelled, just like her three sisters did.
Quinn looked at me.
"They say... family is forever..." she said weakly as she closed her eyes.
"What have you done..." I muttered.
Mr. Hook didn't even flinch and I looked at him and then at former king Adam.
"See, he can't care that you just killed his daughter! But look at her sisters! You killed someone like you think I did. You're a murder yourself!" I yelled as more tears came out.
The three remaining girls started to cry and mr. Hook looked at them and something changed.
"You're so dead." he said as he gritted his teeth.
He grabbed former king Adam's throat and looked at him.
"I might not have a heart right now, but never. Ever. Hurt my children!"
He threw Adam away and kneeled next to the girls.
I looked at him for a moment and the girls hugged him.
"You killed my granddaughter!" Fairy godmother yelled.
I swallowed and someone untied me.
I looked at mr. Hook.
"You do want to send me back don't you... since you already kinda kicked me out..."
He looked at me for a moment.
"Why would I do that to the person who I gave my heart up for?"
I hugged him and the girls hugged me.

A few years passed by, I turned eighteen a few weeks ago and the girls were now a bit older too and they started to understand why their father was acting so solid lately...
Today was their birthday and I made three small cakes for them, each adjusted to their allergies and mr. Hook walked into the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" he asked a bit suprised.
"Getting the three girls all a safe birthday cake since it's their birthday."
"You made those?" he said as he pointed towards the three cakes.
"Yea..."
"I didn't know you could do stuff like that."
"I have been cooking ever since miss Jane... you know... Since you can't even bake an egg." I said and he looked at me.
"Pkay I suppose you have a point."
"You're really trying to care without your heart aren't you?"
He nodded once and I knew he didn't care because he couldn't.
"Something happend back then, remember. When tou suddenly cared about Quinn after Adam shot her..." I said softly and mr. Hook looked at me.
"I guess I really cared about my kids."
"That happed when Quinn got killed... But when I was about to get killed... nothing... Maybe you really don't care about me..." I muttered as I finished the cakes for the girls.
Mr. Hook looked at me.
"If I really didn't, you would be in the orphan house again."
I hughed him and he looked at me.
"Ehhh are you okay?"
"Yea, I am."
The girls walked in and they looked at me.
"Just like last year..." one of them said.
I looked at them.
"I know it sucks without Quinn... But she'd want you to have fun."
"We know it's just weird having our birthday without her..."
"I get that. Honestly."
But the girls couldn't resist the cales eventually so they still ate them.
