RUBY'S POV............
God I only hope they don't listen to his ransom. I just have to wait until sundown, then I can wolf -up. I wish Granny wouldn't go insane though. Then I hear a commotion, it may have been Emma. Killian runs in the small dim room I am in.
"We gotta hurry. Where's Archie?" He says hurrily. Pointing to the other room, I say, "Did you really bring the baby?" He shook his head but before he could be out of the room Reiland came back. "Your that dark figure. THE ONE THAT MURDERED ME, AND MY SON!" Killian bursted. Next thing I knew he was tackling Reiland to the ground.
"No Killian don't! He can read your mind! He knows what you're gonna do!" I screamed over the sound of them punching and kneeing each other. A long period of silence, "Killian? Are you okay?!" I asked, not knowing who survived the fight.
I heard a neck snap, but it happened behind my chair so I don't know. A hand lands on my shoulder causing me to jump. "I don't think he will be bothering us anymore." Killian breathed out ruggedly.

EMMA'S POV.............
"Emma? Oh someone please help me." Archie's calm voice echoes. "Arch, I'm here. Where are you?" I reply somewhat lost. "Last door on the left." As I follow his instructions I hear Killian scream, " THE ONE THAT MURDERED ME, AND MY SON!"
Hoping that he has this under control, I untie Archie. We sprint down the hall to find Killian and Ruby. "You guys ready?" I ask. Both nod their heads, and David and MaryMargret pull up in my Bug. We get in and Leroy picks Archie and Ruby.
Back at home we try to settle down. Henry made us some Hot chocolate and went to bed. Killian and I sat on the couch, me caressing his cheek. Noticing his intent focus on the ground I ask, "Hey, what's wrong Killy?" He slowly looks up at me and I peer into his deep eyes. "I had to kill him." He says. "Oh, please don't think about that, yeah you did have to kill him. You were a hero." I reassure him.
The sad look in his eyes disappears as he leans in to me. We passionately kiss for what seems like forever. Then we cuddle and joke for a while. When dawn approach we finally go to sleep, leaning on each other for support, just like always.
