Forever Doesn't Last Forever

Chapter 11

Killian took her down and placed her on the bed. He took a warm wet piece of cloth and wiped all of the blood away from the wound. After that, he dabbed a little bit of rum on the small cut on her neck. She didn't even flinch. He wrapped a clean piece of cloth around her neck so when he was finished, she looked like she had a necklace on. She laid there motionless. Her chest raised up and down, but not much.

"Don't give up on me. I need you. You can't leave me. You make me a better man Swan. I changed for you. When I came to the palace the plan was to take the gold and leave, not to fall in love with the most beautiful woman in all the realms. Please don't go away. I already lost one love, I can't loose another." He took her hand and placed it on his cheek. "Please."

He sat there for what seemed like forever. Soon one of the crew members knocked on his door and called him to dinner, but he didn't want to eat. He didn't plan to leave her side until she woke up. A few minutes later her eyes fluttered open. She squeezed his hand and he picked his head up. She was awake. He let out a sigh of relief and kissed her.

"What?" Her voice was groggy and raspy.

"You're okay." He had a smile on his face.

He helped her sit up and gave her a drink of water.

"I really thought I was going to die."

"Way to look at the positives love."

"Really. I did."

"It's okay. Just take it easy."

"Killian I have a cut on my throat. Things could be much worse." She stood up and walked around the table that was in his room and sat back down again. "See I'm fine."

"Swan I'm so sorry. It's all this things fault." He said lifting up his hook. "I hurt you, and I can't forgive myself." He took his hook off and threw it at the wall. It fell on the floor with a clashing sound. "Maybe the curse will give me a hand."

"It's not your fault. It's Cora's. Speaking of which where is she?"

"I have no clue, but we sailed far from that place."

Emma got up and picked his hook up. She twirled it around in her fingers. "I like you with the hook." She put it back in its place in his brace.

"But I hurt you with it. I can't have it."

"Then let's go back to the man who took it."

"No, I imagine he would want to kill me on the spot."

"The I will make a deal with him."

"No Swan, it's too dangerous."

"Fine but promise me that you will keep the hook on."

"Alright."

Emma kissed his cheek and went above deck. There was a ship in the distance. A royal ship. "Killian!" Emma screamed.

He darted up above deck and saw what Emma saw. "You don't know it could be a ship from another kingdom. Go in our cabin and wait, I'll let you know when you can come back up."

Emma nodded and went below deck and paced in his cabin. She looked out the window and the ship was getting closer. When it stopped beside the Jolly Roger, Emma ducked out of sight. It was David's ship. Hook watched the royal ship come closer and stop next to him. The boy took a plank of wood and made a bridge going across the water to join the two ships. He was a prince that Hook had never seen, but heard about. It was Jacob.

"Hello Captain Hook." He said.

"I'm at a disadvantage. You know my name, but I don't know yours." Hook said trying to sound stupid.
