Enraptured ↠ Killian Jones [4]

[ t h i r t e e n ]

After receiving a call from Regina telling her to meet her and the others at her office Alexa drops Henry off at Granny's before heading over.

"Alright. I'm here." Alexa says skipping in and rests her head on Killian's shoulder as he wraps an arm around her. "What's going on now?"

"We found Merlin." Regina informs them.

"You did? Where is he?" Alexa questions.

"No, we didn't find him. But past us from Camelot did." Regina clarifies.

"We found Merlin back in Camelot?" Mary Margaret inquires shocked.

"Emma let it slip last night when she tried to visit Henry." Regina explains.

"If we found that sorcerer why the bloody hell didn't he destroy the darkness in Emma?" Killian asks.

"You're asking the wrong person." Regina remarks.

"Well, we can't very well ask him." Killian argues.

"That's exactly what we're going to do." Regina counters showing them an object from her vault.

"The crimson crown." David muses.

"I read about that in one of your books while I was trying to figure out the potion to restore our memories. It's used for communication spells." Alexa comments. "Nice thinking."

"Let's just say seeing Emma rip Violet's heart from her chest gave me all the motivation I need." Regina responds.

"How does this thing work? Do we simply speak to it?" Killian questions.

"It's not that easy. Not just anyone can summon Merlin." Regina retorts. "He'll only appear to someone who's been chosen by him."

"Arthur. Merlin delivered all the prophecies to him." David realizes.

"So what do you say, Sheriff?" Regina inquires.

"Already on my way." David reassures her as he turns to walk out.

"Wait, wait!" Belle blurts. "Why are we wasting our time with Merlin when there's someone here who can help us?"

"Who?" Mary Margaret asks.

"Rumple." Belle states.

"Belle, I know you want to save Gold, and we will. But right now our priority is to protect the town and destroy the darkness that's taken ahold of Emma. We have to do this." Alexa presses. "I'm sorry."
