Rather Be

Chapter 6

Nothing happened. August kissed her again, and still, nothing happened. "I don't understand." August said. Henry spoke next. "Last time must not have been True Love's Kiss. We never knew for sure. Zelena must have done something. August must not be my mom's true love." "We need to get Hook." Regina said. "I'll go." David told everyone. They nodded at him, and waited, once again. David jogged all of the way to the docks. He found Hook drinking his rum in the Captain's Quarters of his ship. He decided, that since he promised Emma not to leave until the morning, he had nothing better to do than spend the night with his flask. "Pirate! Come kiss my daughter now." David called. Killian looked at him in surprise. "Never thought I'd hear you say that, mate. May I ask why?" "She's under a sleeping curse." David explained. Killian nodded, sadly, and said, "Why don't you ask her true love?" "Hopefully I am asking her true love, because if not, she's never waking up." Killian looked at him in surprise and confusion. "What are you talking about, mate?" David sighed. "August is not Emma's true love. He already tried and it didn't work. Last time must not have been True Love's Kiss. If you're not her true love, then she will never wake up." Killian jumped to his feet. "What are we waiting for? Let's go." As they ran back to the loft, David filled Killian in on the whole story. "I just don't understand why she took the potion." He finished. Killian looked upset. "I think I do. She came to my ship, insisting that she loved me, and not August, but I told her that she'd be happy with him, because he was her true love. She then mumbled something about how did True Love's Kiss with August work, and then said something about it not being True Love's Kiss. She then made me promise I wouldn't leave Storybrooke until tomorrow and ran off. I believe she's trying to prove that August is not her true love." Killian concluded as they reached the loft. David nodded. "It makes sense now. And Killian, you can do this. You can wake her up. You love her, and she loves you. It's obvious. I just want you to know that I believe in you, and that I'm glad you two make each other happy. I may not seem like it sometimes, but I approve." Killian smiled, gratefully. "Thanks, mate. That means a lot to me." They reached the door to the loft. "Now go wake up my daughter." David said, opening the door. "Oh, you're here!" Mary-Margaret exclaimed. "Aye." Killian said, going straight to Emma. She looked like an angel, her golden hair spread out around her head, like a halo. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep. He wished she looked that relaxed more often, but he did not want her under that bloody curse. He missed the feistiness in her emerald eyes, her musical laugh, her soft, perfect lips kissing his, and everything else about her that was not present while she was asleep. He knelt down next to her, gently brushing her hair out of her face. He leaned down to her, inhaling her scent, which he loved so much. "I love you, Emma Swan. With all of my heart." He closed the gap between them and pressed his lips to hers. Nothing happened...
