Finding Emma

Chapter 24

Hours later Emma awoke in her cabin with Hook by her side and her shoulder wrapped. She blinked open her eyes and sat up facing Hook.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Just wanted to Make sure you were alright"

"I'm fine. Now ask the question you've been wanting to ask" she said leaning her head against the wall.

"What were you thinking, Swan?" He asked calmly.

"I wasn't going to let anyone else die because of me. When I switched arms I completely forgot about my shoulder. Jumping off into the water was the only way out. But I'm still alive!"

"Well, last time you did something like this you!..." he stopped mid sentence. "I just can't see you get hurt or put yourself in danger" he said more calmly.

"It's who I am. I'm always getting or putting myself in danger. I make it out okay...most of the time. I'm fine now. I just can't move my arm...which is the one I fight with. Great" she said holding it. He sat next to her on the bed and she put her head on his shoulder. "I want him dead" she said referring to Blackbeard.

"He will be. I promise" he said and kissed her head.

She closed her eyes when he kissed her. "I want to do it though. I know that's putting myself in danger but after everything he's done to me...I want to do it"

He nodded. "Okay. Just get some rest" he said getting off the bed. It was one in the morning. He started to walk to the door when something Emma said cussed him to stay.

"Can you stay with me?" She asked.

He nodded going back to the bed and lying next to her, wrapping her arm around her. "Always" he whispered.
