The life we always wanted (2)

Chapter Twenty Four: Voices in your head

Emma's POV

I wake up beside Killian who was still fast asleep. I tip-toed out of bed and looked at the clock. 5:27am. I quietly went to the bathroom and washed my face and brushed teeth and went to the closet. I picked out a long slim white dress and quickly put it on. I pinned my hair into a bun as fast as I could but made it look neat. I wrote a note to Killian for him to see when he wakes up. I ran down the stairs and put on my white cloak and walked into the small ballroom where the door to Camelot that I had made was. I opened the door took a deep breath and walked through it.

I blinked a couple of times letting my eyes adjust to how dark it was in Camelot. I closed the door and put an enchantment on it so no one else could come through. I walked into the forest, getting deeper and deeper into it. Heading towards Merlin's castle. I was going to confront him. Ask him why I was still the dark one. Why he lied to me and put everyone around me in danger. Was he just being selfish? Or was he threatened. It didn't matter. I wanted to find out. I didn't care how long it took to find out. But I was going to no matter the consequences.

Getting deeper into the forest my legs began to feel a little tired so I sat down on a rock. I thought I kept hearing voices but it must have been me over thinking. "Hello dearie." I jumped at turned around. "Rumpelstiltskin? What are you doing here?" I asked Rumple who was standing in front of me all of a sudden. "I'm not here dearie. I'm a wee voice inside that head of yours. He's really back home in the enchanted forest with Belle." He said smiling. He was dressed as if he was still the dark one. But if he was a voice in my head, why was he there?

"Why are you in my head?!" I shouted at him. If anyone had seen me they would've thought I was crazy. "I'm here to help you embrace the darkness again." He said giggling. "Again?" I replied. "Yes dearie, you did 15 years ago and Im here to help you do it... again." He said sarcastically. "Go away." I snapped. I walked past him and deeper into the forest towards Merlin's castle. Well at least I thought I was.

"You know.. Merlin's castle is that way" he says pointing the other direction. "I'm not listening to a hologram. God knows were you will lead me." I said walking over branches and logs. "Your going to get yourself lost dearie." He says continuing to walk behind me. "I'd rather get lost than listen to you." I replied walking on. "Fine then dearie. Enjoy your time getting lost. See you when you've actually found your way." Rumple says snapping his fingers and disappearing. He might be a voice in my head but he's just as annoying.

Killian's POV

I woke up being blinded the sunlight. I turned around to hug Emma like I usually do every morning to find an empty left side of the bed. I sat up quickly, pnaicked as I couldn't think of why she wouldn't be there. I got out of bed and made it quickly. I walked up to the clock to check the time to see a note stuck to it. I read it quickly.

" Killian

I am travelling to Camelot or I'm in Camelot as you are reading this. I promise I won't be long, I'm just going to have a friendly but well deserved talk to Merlin about everything. I shall see your soon

Emma xx'

No, she went to Camelot! Why did she go without me?! I got changed quickly and ran downstairs. "Has anyone seen Princess Emma?" I shouted. "Not since last night captain." Most of them said. Search parties where sent out to check boats and carriages and everywhere we could think of. I frantically was running around the castle worrying about Emma and Freya. Both of them were missing. Liam luckily was still asleep in his bedroom during all of this so luckily I didn't have to worry.

7pm at night and there was still no sign of Emma or Freya. Liam had went to spend the night with Snow and Neal. Charming went out with search parties and I stayed in the castle to wait. I walked into all the rooms I the catsle leaving all the ballrooms to last. In the last ballroom stood the door that me and Emma went through to Camelot 13 years ago.

I slowly walked towards it with my hand in front of me. So close to touching the handle.

Emma's POV

I had spent hours wandering around in circles. Night was slowly drawing to day and I coidlmt help bit think and worry about so many different things. Did Killian get my note? Had Freya came back. Had Killian found the door. Had he touched it? If he touches the door he could get seriously hurt.

"Finally your on the right track." I hear a voice behind me. "Seriously? You again?" I asked Rumple. "Well I did say I was coming back when you were in the right track." The hologram giggled. "I know my way from here. So you can leave me alone now." I snapped again. "I'm not leaving until you embrace that darkness you have inside you." He smirked. "Whatever." I continued walking on.

I arrived at Merlin's castles door and paused. I had knocked on this door so many times, for so many different reasons. "Are you going to know it then?" Rumple says sarcastically. "I'm doing my best." I said walking closer to the door. "Go on! Knock it." He said with a hint of persuasion in his tone. I took a deep breath and knocked on the doors angrily.
