Unlikely Love

Chapter 3

The coldness hit Emma. Struggling she looked around for leather or dark ebony hair. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of a figure sinking slowly deeper. Quickly she swam towards the still pirate. She wrapped an arm under his arms before heaving through the water to the surface. She pulled out of the water taking a deep breath as she held the lifeless being. Climbing to the side of the boat, feeling the waves crash into her body. The storm was gone just as fast ad it came.

"HELP!" she shouted, her body weaker by the second. Smee, leaned over the barrier gasping before pulling the rope. Quickly she wrapped the rope around the Captain's limp body, holding him close to her own. She was breathing heavy as they were pulled aboard the ship. Crashing onto deck she quickly rolled over shaking the Captain.

"No, no, no!" she whispered before performing CPR. Giving mouth to mouth he finally shot up, coughing up salty water gasping for breath before lying back down.

"E-Emma?" he asked looking slightly dazed. She sighed in relief nodding before he pulled her into a friendly hug and whispering a small 'thank you' in her ear. She grinned pulling back before helping him to his feet. She helped him to his cabin wear he sat on his desk chair shivering.

"Don't you think you should lie down and change?" she asked raising an eyebrow at the teeth chattering Captain.

"I-I-I'm n-n-not c-cold!" he tried to state as his teeth chattered.

"S-sure" she rolled her eyes shivering also before grabbing two dry towels from the cupboard behind the curtain. She passed one to Hook wrapping the other around her body. When he refused the towel she sighed walking over and sat on his lap pulling the towel over the both of them. He smiled as she snuggled into his chest. After ten minu5es she got up sighing before going to walk out when her grabbed her hand.

"Thank you... For everything" he smiled genuinely. She returned the smile nodding and made her way to her room.

The next day Killian got up at sunrise and headed towards the helm. He smiled slowly as the portal that would take them to Arendelle into view. He started to wonder about what the journey would be like and being so caught up in his own little world he didn't see Emma approach him, startling him slightly.

"Captain" she spoke respectfully smiling as she to saw the portal.

"Not long now Swan" he stated with a small grin.

"We still have quite a journey".

"Aye, you still haven't told me what I get for doing this" he stated turning to look at her.

"Where's the fun in that though?" she replied cheekily.

"Hm. We'all arrive in Arendelle port in three days from now. We need to stop as supplies are running low after the storm" he stated.

"Okay I wan-".

"Emma!" Neal exclaimed pulling Emma into a loving hug kissing her passionately cutting off her sentence. Killian coughed, clearly uncomfortable with them being caught up in a heated make out session not three feet away. Emma blushed as Neal looked smug.

"Right" Emma declared awkwardly before dragging Neal towards the side of the boat leaning on the railings. She looks so beauti-. Woah Killian you can't like the Swan girl! Hook mentally scolded himself before shaking his head and turning back to steering his ship.

An hour later they were but 20 metres from the portal.

"HOLD ON!" yelled Killian as his grip tightened on the wheel before sailing into the portal Emma was about to reach a railing before slipping so on impulse he reached out his arm wrapping around her waist and pressing her against the wheel close to his chest as the ship fell through the portal, rocking and spinning.

They came back upon the other side before sailing towards the small town. Emma was still gripping Hook's leather jacket without realising.

"I think you can let go love" he chuckled. She immediately let go before flushing furiously.

"Sorry" she muttered pushing a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Not your fault that you can't keep your hands of a dashing rapscallion like mehself" he smirked at her as she lightly punched his arm.

"God, how does your ego fit in that brain of yours" she asks exasperated flicking his forehead.

"Just like how my sword fits i-" he smirks.

"Don't" she puts her hand up causing him to chuckle as she shakes her head with a small amused grin on her face.

"Won't be long until Arendelle" he states before pointing to the horizon. She smiles gratefully before patting his back and making her way to her room as the sun begins to set on the horizon, completely unaware of the figure watching their interactions with jealousy...

Within three uneventful days they managed to make port in the small town. They were off the ship in no less than twenty minutes before guards swarmed around them...

"Queen Elsa has been waiting for your arrival" one of the guards smirk as weapons were drawn and pointed at Emma's, Hook's and Neal's throats...
