CHAPTER ELEVEN
"The Giant"
Emma Swan had just left town with her son, Henry, and Mr Gold or "the crocodile" as Killian so fondly called him. This made no real difference to Lily but it made a huge difference to Killian. His enemy, the whole reason for him being in town had magically escaped. But he didn't know about that yet.
Lily walked beside her brother as they made their way down the docks. They were accompanied by David, Mary Margaret and Leroy. Upon his release from the hospital, Killian had been made to reveal the identity of his ship to the heroes.
"You didn't even even ask about my recovery." Hook said.
"How are you feeling, Hook?" Mary Margaret asked.
"Come closer and feel for yourself." Killian grinned; but it earned him a thump in the arm from David, and a disgusted look from Lily.
"Do you want to lose the other hand?" David asked, looking the pirate dead in the eye. "Where is the ship? Archie told us it was here. It's shielded somehow, isn't it, mate?"
"Aye...That it is. Follow me." Killian said, before he started to lead them in the direction of the invisible Jolly Roger. "I don't know what you're expecting to find. Cora won't be there."
"Maybe she left something behind that will tell us where she went." David said.
"No funny business. I'm watching you, pirate." Leroy said to Killian before he turned to look at Lily. "You too, witch."
Lily smiled, "I could kill you faster than you can say the world hello, dwarf." She quickly dropped the smile revealing the serious look on her face. "So, don't push it."
The group arrived at the pier where the ship was anchored. The twins walked up the invisible stairs and disappeared behind the shield; the others quickly followed behind.
"You sailed this ship from our land. Can you sail it back?" Leroy asked.
"This thing may be made of enchanted wood, but it still needs a portal to travel between lands." Lily said. "No portal, no travel."
Killian looked at his sister, feeling both hurt and disgusted that she had just described his beloved ship as "it" and "thing".
"What do you know about Cora's plans?" David asked, looking at the twins.
"Oh, don't look at me. I'm here for my own reasons. Different reasons." Lily said.
"Cora's not the most communicative of lasses. She keeps her plans under wraps. I will tell you this - whatever malice she has in mind, her weapon of choice is under there." Killian said.
