Finding You Always

Heartless, Pt 1

Chapter 141: Heartless, Pt 1

The celebration at the Charming household began to wind down and soon, Snow and David were putting the little ones to bed, before retiring themselves. Emma had texted them to tell them that she and Killian were taking a walk so they did not worry.

Once they reached their bedroom, Snow enjoyed the ministrations of her husband, as he made love to her. As always, they brought each other unspeakable pleasure and then lay together in the afterglow, exchanging soft kisses and caresses.

"Are you ready to sleep?" he asked. She hummed, clearly drowsy from their exertion and reached over to get the device. She put it on and he pressed the circle in the center to activate it.

"I probably look pretty funny with this thing on," she mentioned.

"Oh, I don't know, I think it's pretty sexy actually," he teased. She giggled, as he caressed her face.

"You're always beautiful to me, my darling. You constantly take my breath away," he confessed and she looked at him with eyes glowing with love.

"I love you, Charming," she confessed.

"And I love you, Snow...sleep now and I know this is going to work. He shall no longer torment you in your dreams," he promised. She settled down, spooned against him, as sleep finally took them both.

Jekyll rummaged around the lab that evening, as he got ready to use his device. He had been spying on her all evening, witnessing her enjoy time with her family. That was fitting, since she would soon be leaving them behind. He planned to tell her in the dream realm of his threat that evening. That unless she agreed to leave Storybrooke and this realm with him completely, he would use the water from the river Styx on her family and her people. She wouldn't refuse him, for he knew she would sacrifice herself for them. He had Hyde's key and would return to the Land of Untold Stories with her in his possession. Time would stand still again and he would finally have the happy ending he deserved with her by his side...and in his bed. She would fight him, but with his superior might, she wouldn't be able to stop him.

Eventually, he was certain that she would accept her place by his side and if she didn't, he knew many concoctions that could wipe her memory, allowing him to give her new memories. He could already imagine it now. Snow White by his side, with no memory of Prince Charming and doting upon him. The need to see her...to finally have her burned inside him. He turned on the device and put the headset on. Tonight was the night. He would easily subdue her husband and then finally have what he craved.

"You will love me, Snow White...you will be mine now..." he growled, as he activated his device. It fired up and he prepared to immerse himself in the dream world, but frowned when the humming device powered down.

"What?" he hissed, as he examined the wiring. Everything seemed to be in order and he tried again. But the device failed again, despite optimal operation. He seethed and used the viewing device he had created to spy into the Charming house.

Despite the dark curtains, he peered inside their bedroom and found them asleep in each other's arms. But the peculiar looking headband that she was wearing made his blood instantly boil.

"No..." he growled. She was wearing a device that was emitting a frequency to block his device.

"NO!" he raged, as beakers and test tubes shattered, as he upset his lab table. He pounded his fists into the wall, creating virtual dents in the drywall. He glared at their sleeping forms.

"Oh...you think you have won, but you will find out that you are sorely mistaken," he seethed. He picked up the vial with the water from the river of lost souls inside it and put his jacket on.
