The life we always wanted (2)

Chapter Twenty Two: Tension builds high

Killian's POV

I knocked on the doors of Rumple's castle eager to get in. A worried Emma tightened her grip on my hand when we heard the lock turn and saw the door creak open. "Oh hey Killian. What a surprise to see you all here." Belle says opening the door. She looked over to Freya and saw her holding the dagger and standing far back from us. She looked confused but didn't question it. "Hey Belle can we come in?" I ask her politely. She nodded and opened the door more to let us all in.

When we got inside we stood and waited till belle closed the door again. "Sorry about the mess, we are moving to my father's castle. He just recently passed and left the castle in his will for me and rumple." Belle explains to us. "It's not problem really. I'm so sorry for your loss Belle." Emma chokes on her words. Belle looks at Emma in great detail. Confused by her blotchy red eyes and sad emotions Belle kept her mouth shut about it as she didn't look like she wanted to upset her. "So how can I help you all?" She asks. Emma goes to speak but is interrupted by Freya who buts in. "We are wanting a storybook. Apparently they hid it here in this castle." Freya snaps. "Umm of course. I'll just go get rumple for you all." She says walking into another room.

A few minutes later Rumpelstiltskin came out and saw the tension in the room. "Aah I see. Follow me Emma." Rumple says walking towards the stairs. "No! I'm coming too." Freya demands. I look at her and she turns her nose at me. "Umm, sure. Whatever works for you all." Rumple says. He looks at Freya's hand and sees the dagger and his eyes sparkle. They all walk away leaving me standing at the foyer of their castle. I see Belle struggling with some boxes and try to help her out as I knew moving was a difficult process.

Emma's POV

I walked down the stairs with Freya behind me and Rumple in front of me. Rumple stands in front of the vault door and nodds at me. Only I could take away the enchantment I set on the door and I realized Freya would see my magic for the first time. I swipped my hand over the door and a white wave shines over it. I quickly turn and look at Freya who looked as angrier as ever. I didn't say anything and continued to walk in.

No one could follow me in so I quickly took the enchantment off the safe that the storybook was in and pulled it out. I flicked through the pages. Seeing the new chapters of the story that had been added over the years. Then a page slipped out of the back of the book. The prophecy. I quickly lifted it up and placed it back in the book. I took a deep breath in and walked through the door.

Freya and Rumple were waiting for me patiently outside. I handed the book to Freya and she marched back upstairs. Me and Rumple walked up the stairs after her and I saw Killian helping Belle with boxes. He stared as Freya continued to stomp outside and into her carriage. "Come on Killian we better go." I say to him panicked. "Of course love." He said helping Belle with the last box. "Thank you so much Belle and Rumple." I said. "No problem." Belle said smiling. I grab Killian's hand and we rushed out the door and into our carriage. Just as we had got into our carriage Freya's carriage took off. We shortly began our journey close behind her

On the way a thought came through my head. "Killian...." I said slowly. "Emma. Everything is going to be fine. Like I said in the way here everything will sort out and..." Killian began. "No Killian it's not that." I explained. "What is it then love?" He said looking at me worried. "The dagger. It still has my name on it? We went to Merlin and he said that I no longer had the darkness. Why did he lie? Killian.... I'm still the dark one. I've brought up our children as the dark one. I could've hurt them.... Think of how dangerous I am?" I said beginning to cry. Merlin had lied to me and put my family in danger and all those who were around me. "Emma... You haven't harmed anyone. But just think you've turned the darkness away for 14 years and we didn't even know you still had it. So just think about it seriously love." Killian says hugging me tightly. "I'm so sorry Killian. I don't deserve you or the twins." I sobbed into his shoulder. "Hey, hey. Don't think like that. We will go back to Merlin and confront him about this and I'll give him a good punch to the gut if he doesn't have a valid answer." Killian giggles. I too giggle softly and Killian wipes my tears away. I lean on his shoulder for the rest of the journey twiddling my fingers panicking.

"Do you know where my parents and Freya went?" I asked my supervisor Julie. "I don't know Liam. But I wouldn't worry. They probably went to the village to fetch something." Julie says setting down my drink. "Thank you, and I hope so." I said panicked. My parents never left without such short notice. They always had things planned before they left.

Next thing I hear a bang and Freya stomps through the front door and starts to walk up the stairs. "Freya? What's wrong?" I shout up after her. I run up the stairs behind her and notice her holding the dagger and a storybook. "Freya!!" I shout again. She walks into her room and slams the door behind her. I hear footsteps and my mom and dad are walking up the stairs. "Liam. You okay?" My mom says hugging me. "Yes in fine. What's wrong with Freya?" I said to my mom. "Shes fine, stand back Liam.' My mom says pulling me behind her and beside my dad. She waves her hand over the door and a white wave shines over it. The door fly's open and my mom and dad walk in.

"Freya. Give me the dagger." My mom says angrily. "No, let me read this first." Freya says holding a piece of paper. My mom stands back and for five minutes the room is quiet. "You hid this storybook so I wouldn't cast a stupid curse when I was older or find out you have magic?!" Freya shouts. "Mom what is she talking about?" I said confused. "I'll tell you in a minute Liam. But please Freya I don't want to argue." My mom snaps. "Listen to your mother Freya." My dad shouts at Freya.

Freya looks up at us and smiles. "You've failed. I'm going to cast this curse and find out why you've hidden your lives from me and Liam. I don't want to see you both looking for me. Because you will never find me, nor will you stop me." Freya shouts and then disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.

"Mom... What is going on!" I asked for what seemed like the tenth time. "Liam. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." My mom begins to cry. I was startled. My mom never cries in front of us. My dad hugs her tight and she sobbs into his shoulder. "Liam, son do you mind sitting in your room until you mother calms down a little? We will tell you everything shortly." My dad says to me still hugging my mom. "Of course." I say as I head towards Freya's bedroom door and into my own room. I was getting a little impatient but around half an hour later my mom and dad walk into my room and my mom sits in my bed bedside me. "Liam..."
