Shattered Heart

The Attack

I understand if you all are upset with me...

And I wish I could promise that I will update more often, but I can't, not really.

I will try though! So here's this chapter! This chapter's song is Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Lorde

{Emma's POV}

It was the night after my date with Killian. We were all in the woods, ready to enact our plan to capture Maleficent. Melody was standing in the middle of a clearing with Killian, David, Mary Margaret, Regina, and me surrounding her in the trees. I glanced across the clearing and locked eyes with Killian. He cocked his eyebrow and smiled at me. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. He mouthed the words you can do it and then looked back to Melody.

In my hands, there was a candle that would hopefully capture Maleficent. If I managed to get close enough to her, I could blow on it and the flames would encircle her and cuff her. The problem was getting close enough to use it on her. Hopefully, Melody would distract her long enough for me to sneak up behind them and use the candle. But with my luck, I knew this would never go smoothly.

Melody looked at me and nodded. Then she said three words that would set our plan into action.

"Maleficent. Maleficent. Maleficent."

A swirl of gray smoke rose from the ground and revealed Maleficent.

"Melody," She said, taking a step towards her daughter.

"I'm not here for affection," Melody said, her face carved from stone. "You have brought an unnecessary fight to a town of innocent people, and I want to stop it. I am ready to come with you."

Maleficent smiled, wickedly. "Did upset you when I hurt your pirate daddy's girlfriend? You know I can do so much worse. But if you are truly willing to come with me, so be it."

I knew this was my cue. I silently crept up behind Maleficent and ignited the candle with my magic. Then before I could use it, I felt something wrap around my neck and I was lifted off the ground. I let out a cry and dropped the candle. Maleficent turned around, her hand holding me in a choke hold I couldn't get out of. Melody moved to stop her, but Maleficent waved her hand and stopped her in her tracks.

"A trap, huh?" She said to no one in particular. "You should know there are consequences to messing with me. And now, your precious savior will pay it."

Maleficent went to shut off my airway, but a fireball shot past, barely missing her head. The distraction made her let go of her grip on me. I collapsed to the ground gasping for air. Killian ran up to me and pulled me onto his lap, whispering words of worry and comfort. Regina emerged, a fresh fireball in her hand, my father and mother following suit, their weapons drawn.

"You do not mess with the savior and get away with it," Regina said.

Maleficent looked around, realizing she was outnumbered, and stood up with a scowl on her face.

"I will be back, I promise you. And when I come back, no one will be immune to my wrath," She aid ominously and then disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.

My parents ran up to me, making sure I was ok. But by then, my breathing had returned to normal. I was still curled up in Killian's lap, so they turned away to make sure Melody was ok. I knew I was ok, and I should move, but I just couldn't bring myself to move away from his comforting arms. The whole incident had shaken me to my core. We had severely underestimated Maleficent's power, despite Melody's warnings. And the fact that she had almost taken my life in a matter of two minute scared me. A reluctant shudder went through my body and Killian's arms wrapped around me tighter.

"Are you ok?" He whispered into my hair. I nodded and snuggled closer to him, holding on to this moment for as long as I could.
