The Bombshell

Part 39: Killian's Pov

   We got away clean, but now we were on the run from The Queen. "I must say Love, that was kind of exhilarating." I enjoyed it; got a thrill from helping to save Emma's life and we were nowhere near done yet.

.

   "I'm guessing you don't normally go on quests to rescue fair maidens from towers?" Emma asked rhetorically. There was something about her; something that I couldn't quite shake. I didn't know her, but I just felt so comfortable around her, like I'd known her in a past life or something.

.

   "Is it that obvious?" I gave a little laugh and she smiled. Emma had a nice smile; a smile that seemed to instantly cheer me up.

.

   "You might not remember knowing me, but I do know you." I bet she did. I wished I did remember because I have this feeling that there was some sort of chemistry between us; maybe even the remnants of a relationship from another life.

.

   "Sorry to interrupt whatever this is, but how are we supposed to find Robin Hood?" She wasn't sorry, but Lily did have a point. Do any of us actually know where Robin's camp is? Or even which tavern he frequents? I certainly didn't.

.

   "I have an idea." Henry had a smirk on his face as he turned to Emma. "Do you remember the original book; the tavern where Regina walked away from meeting Robin?" Emma nodded, cottoning on to what her son was trying to say. "Maybe he's there." I must admit, it was a pretty great idea.

.

   "Perfect." Emma responded. I glanced at Regina who was almost shaking. She didn't look too good and I got the feeling that she wasn't totally into the thought of going after Robin Hood.

.

   "Regina, love, are you okay?" I was a little worried abut her feeling forced into this entire thing because she feels sorry for Henry or whatever and I was scared of what would happen if this all became to much.

.

   "Yeah, I'm fine. I guess I'm just nervous." I didn't buy it; Emma and Henry didn't either.

.

   "Come on, Mom. I know when you're lying." Henry tried to joke about it, but Regina didn't look impressed.

.

   "You need to stop calling me that!" She snapped, then took a moment to calm herself. "Sorry, you're right. I don't think this is a good idea." So, now she wanted to back out. We'd come all this way for nothing. Fantastic!

.

   "Please, do this and you'll never have to see us again." Henry pleaded, allowing Regina to think for a minute. If he was right about this whole situation, then his plan should work. I hoped it would, because it seemed to me that this other life might not be so bad.
