What You Seek, Will be Found (2)

Chapter 20

I am not okay! I hate her! I'm glad she died!!! Adam and Eddie had one job, and that was to not bring her back!

I love the actress don't get me wrong, but I hate Milah.

"Emma!" Killian screamed from the kitchen.

She came running out. "What? What? I don't smell smoke." She said panicky.

"No it's this." He said handing her the note. "Normally I'd hide it from you, which now, come to think of it, I should have. You'll just go."

"Killian I have to. I don't want anyone to end up dead."

"I'm not letting you go! You slipped out easily last time and I won't let it happen again."

"Well you are gonna have to tie me down because I have to go."

He stepped closer to her. "That can be arranged." He said with a smirk.

She hit him on the chest and went back into the bathroom. Emma finished curling her hair and came out and ate breakfast. Killian grabbed her coat and his and his keys.

"Love, come here." He said holding her coat out.

She slipped into it. "I'm going to take my car today."

Killian groaned. "Why?"

"Cause I have work after school and I'd prefer not to walk."

He nodded. "I'll come in like I did yesterday."

"Okay. I love you."

"Love you too Swan."

She gave him a quick kiss then made her way to the elevators. Pressing the button, Emma then went in and was on her way down to the ground floor. On its way down, it stopped on the second floor. The doors opened and revealed him.

Emma pressed the button repeatedly. "No no no no no no!"

"Oh yes." Neal got in and stood beside her. "Did you miss me?"

Emma stayed quiet.

He shoved her against the wall. "Answer me!"

"No! No I didn't miss you! I hate you! Now get the fuck off!" She noticed that the elevator stopped. She was watching the doors.

He turned to the doors then back to her. He released her, but wrapped his arm around her. "You are going to pretend to be my girlfriend. We are going to drive off to your school, then sometime tonight at the restaurant, I'll pop in. Make any moves or noises and I'll kill you. Understand, love?"

Emma nodded. She cringed at the word 'love.' It only sounded good when it came out of Killian mouth.

The elevator doors opened and they walked out. She saw Aurora and Phillip in the lobby. They gave her disappointed looks. She looked forward and went to her car. She drove with Neal in the passenger seat the whole way.

"You're cute when you're scared." He said. He leaned closer to her ear. "Emma, do you love Killian?"

"Yes. I love him more than I ever loved you." She shot back.

"Does he..." He trailed off and dragged his fingertips on her thigh. "Ever show you how much he loves you?"

"You stalk me and watch my every move. You know the answer to that." She made a sharp turn into the school's parking lot. Without hesitation she shut the car off and ran inside the building being glad that she could get away from Neal.

After school Emma got to The Crystal Circle earlier than the previous day. She worked through her shift until Killian came in.

"Zelena, I'm going on break!" She yelled.

Zelena nodded and Emma went to sit with Killian.

"Hey babe." She said with a wink.

He glared at her.

"What? What did I do?" She asked.

"Who's the guy Emma? Is it Neal?" He asked coldly.

"What guy?" Then realization hit. "Aurora and Phillip told you that I was with someone this morning, didn't they?"

He looked up at her. "I can't believe I ever thought that you could love me." Killian whispered.

"It was Neal."

"I thought that you wouldn't have been stupid enough to go back to him."

Hot tears stung her eyes. Emma didn't want to make a scene, so she stood up and towered over Killian.

"He said that I had to pretend to be his girlfriend this morning, or else he would kill me."

His hard expression turned into a soft one. "Emma I-"

"Don't. I don't want to hear it." She walked over to a rack and grabbed her apron. "What can I get you?"

"Cheeseburger, two sides of onion rings, a grilled cheese, and two hot chocolates with cinnamon." He said staring at her.

"For here or to go?" Emma asked scribbling it down in her notepad.

"To go." Killian whispered.

She nodded and threw the order to the kitchen window. When she turned around, another familiar face walked into the restaurant.

"I told you I'd come in." Neal said holding his arms out.

Everyone turned their heads in his direction.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make a scene. At least not yet. Not until, this." He said pulling out a gun. Everyone raised their hands up.

"Neal, what are you doing?" Emma asked.

"Making sure I get what I want."

Emma gulped nervously and shot a look at Killian. He was shaking his head.

"What do you want?" Emma asked.

Neal went to reach for Emma. He grabbed her arm and swung her around. The barrel of the gun on her head.

"Ladies and gentleman! Emma Swan is mine. Anybody to even look at her will get shot." He turned his head and the sight of Killian came into few. "Oh I'm really gonna enjoy what happens next. Taking a mans true love away. What better pain is there?"

Killian stood up and almost ran to Neal.

"Ah ah ah. I wouldn't. Move and everyone dies. Including Swan." Neal said mocking Emma's nickname.

Emma jerked. She kicked Neal in the stomach and he dropped the gun. She kicked it away and stood in front of Neal who was doubled over in pain.

"You will not make threats to these people!" Emma yelled.

Neal stood up with a smug smile on his face. "I'll do what I want."

Everyone was cowering in fear.

"And even though I love you Emma, this is going to hurt." Neal said bringing his fist up and punching her.

"Swan!" Killian yelled catching her before she could fall.

"Have a nice night. I'll be back Emma." Neal said before darting out the door.

Emma's eye was swelling. Her lip was bleeding too. "Fuck. That guy has some force." She said.

"Does it hurt that bad?" Killian asked.

"Yea. My head hurts."

Killian looked up and everyone was frozen in shock. Except Zelena. She came over to Emma and looked at her.

"Emma, take the rest of the week off. And go get yourself looked at." She said sweetly.

"Thank you." Killian said picking Emma up from the ground. He held her bridal style and walked her out to his car. He put her in and buckled her up, then walked to the drivers side.

Starting the car up and looking out the rear view mirror, Killian saw the restaurant emptying. He drove to the hospital to get Emma's head looked at.
