What You Seek, Will be Found (2)

Chapter 9

Killian saw Princess Emma leaning over the edge of the Jolly Roger.

"Still stuck here huh?" He asked leaning next to her.

"Yea. I don't think that I'm ever gonna be able to go home Killian." Princess Emma said.

"Do you want to go home?"

"Honestly. No I don't. I have never gotten freedom. I miss them, but I'm kinda glad that I'm here. Just don't tell Hook."

Killian laughed. "I won't princess."

The sounds of metal swords being taken out of sheaths were heard behind them. Killian and Princess Emma turned around and Hook and his crew had their swords raised, but when Hook saw Killian, he calmed the crew down.

"Stand down mates! We have a guest! He's not a threat." He said.

They all lowered their swords and went back to work. Killian noticed a flirty eye between the two, but didn't say anything.

"Hey, has Emma showed up?" Killian asked after looking around.

"No, I haven't seen your Emma." Hook said.

Princess Emma drug Hook away from Killian, and out of the corner of his eye, Killian saw Princess Emma kiss Hook on the cheek. They both smirked, and then Killian woke up.

He smiled at the sight of his Emma sleeping beside him, but it was bright outside. He jumped out of bed and went to the door, and an envelope was sitting in front of the door. He couldn't let Emma know that he was getting her "mail."

I am hoping that you tell him. I really want him to suffer. Now, when you do tell him, you get to pick. Either I kill him, or I kill you.

Killian shredded the letter and the envelope. Emma could not see this. After throwing the shreds out, he went back to bed with Emma. He put his arm around her and drifted off to sleep again.

The sound of a fist pounding on the door woke them both up. He looked over at Emma who had a scared expression on her face. She jumped out of bed and so did he. He stood behind the door, and Emma opened it.

"Mr. Jones! I didn't expect to see you again." Emma said.

"You lied to me." He said pointing a finger at her.

"Lied about what?" Emma asked innocently.

"You know what. Killian never left town, did he?"

"So what if he did or didn't. I'm not telling you where he is. I'm doing him a favor."

Mr. Jones walked away and Emma shut and locked the door. Killian looked at her with fear.

"Have you heard what happened to the last guy that lied to my father?" He asked.

Emma shook her head. "No."

"Neither have I! Emma you're in danger now."

Emma walked over to the couch and sat down. "So what? I'm in danger already. With Neal and the guy that works for him. I should just get hit by a bus or something. Then nobody has the chance to kill me."

"Surely you don't mean that."

"The last time you asked that I said no, but this time I mean it. Everyone in this world dies eventually. Maybe I was meant to die before my hair turns snow white."

"Swan no don't say that. Don't even think like that. We will get through both of these things together." Killian said with his hands on hers.

"What are we going to do? Move around until we don't have any money left? Newsflash Killian! We don't have any money as it is. I don't see you going around looking for a job!"

"Yea that's what you don't see. There is a lot that goes by underneath your nose and you have to idea what it is."

Emma rolled her eyes. "I don't want to fight."

"We aren't fighting. We are having a heated discussion!" Killian yelled.

"You know what? Have fun doing whatever it is that goes underneath my nose all of the time." She stood up and grabbed her keys.

He took her place on the couch. "Where are you going?"

"I'm not telling you because if I did you would follow."

"So that's it? You're just going to walk away?"

"No." Emma opened the door. "I'm driving away."

As soon as the door shut, Killian stood up and kicked the couch. "Why? Why am I such an ass? I shouldn't have snooped around. I pushed her away. I'm probably going to push her away that she's so far from me, that I won't be able to see her anymore."

The door opened slowly again. Killian looked up with anger tears in his eyes. Emma pointed to her phone on the coffee table. "I forgot my phone."

He walked up to and grabbed the sides of her face. He kissed her lips, and she didn't resist or pull away, but kissed him back. When they both needed air, they pulled away to talk.

"Please don't walk away like that again love." Killian said.

"I'm sorry." Emma started shaking her head. "I don't know what I was thinking. It's just that this is too much stress, and I don't know how much more I can handle."

He nodded. "I know, and if there is anything that I can do, just tell me."

Emma nodded too. "There isn't anything. I don't know what to do. I just want Neal gone, and it seems like the fucking police aren't doing anything."

"Maybe something from your past with him could help us."

"I don't want to have to dig out the memories again Killian. It's too painful."

"Emma if you want him caught, you are going to have to do this. I'll be here with you the entire time."

Emma nodded. She sat down on the couch and he sat next to her. She grabbed his hand and held it.

"You're going to be fine love." Killian said giving her a reassuring smile.

"Don't leave, okay?"

"I won't. I'll be here with you the entire time. I promise you that you aren't going to be alone anymore for anything."

"What am I supposed to look for?"

"Anything that he could have said or did. Maybe a place that you guys hid from the police."

She nodded and closed her eyes.

Here we go.

Sorry for no update yesterday. School has had me busy, and family stuff too. For those of you reading my other book, "Forever Doesn't Last Forever" I have been having writers block, so please bear with me.

Thanks for your understanding and patience!!!
