"What's wrong Captain? Crocodile got your tongue?" Pan asked, knowing it was a punch to Killian's pride. To protect Emma, Killian threw his arm in front of her before moving her slowly behind him.

"Poor Killian...always exposing your vulnerabilities...." Men moved towards Emma, pulling her away from him as her eyes saw how Snow was being held at the end of a sword. Killian was then taken with his hands tied behind his back-similar to Emma, only he dropped something of interest to Pan.

He scoffed, analyzing the jewel before moving towards Killian whose sole attention was Emma's well-being.

"Is this what you give the woman you love? A stolen ring?"

Emma's eyes grew wide.

"I bought it." He verified.

"Probably the only thing you HAVE ever bought...it looks cheap..." With no care, he dropped it onto the ground as he the used his magic to fly it in the air and break it apart, the gem breaking into dust as Killian glared.

"Why are you doing this?"

"You know why, Killian. And now I am going to return the favor...so I hope you enjoyed whatever time you had with her. Because you won't see her ever again."

"Don't hurt her!" Killian begged as he attempted to break free but the men who held him were too strong.

"I'm not a monster Captain....I do have a soul...but...there are others who want from you..." As he disappeared with Emma into the darkness, Pan left Killian to the hands of those from his past. Emma could hear in the distance as tears poured down her face as Killian tried to keep his pain inside.

"Had enough?" A thick English accent asked as Emma was boarded onto a ship in the distance and separated from Killian. When the ship was sailing far enough away from the dock, they untied her hands from behind her back and then onto the mast in the center of the ship.

"This way we can keep a good eye on you...' Pan said, analyzing her closely.

"Why are you doing this? What has he done?"

"Do you truly think I would just confess everything?"

"If you have taken me captive, I have a right to know!" She said bravely, trying so desperate to hide her trembling.

"You are in no position to make demands."

"Your threats do not scare me. You need me-"

"What makes you-"

"You took me for a reason and I am guessing to lure him somewhere...if that is the case...so do it. But he is no normal man...and he will go to the depths of hell-as he has...to save me."

"I'm counting on it." Pan said as he disappeared onto the other side of the ship and Emma's eyes moved back to the land that was now fully gone.

Letting out a cough and returning to his heavy breathing, Killian rose and leaned on the structure of the castle as blood dripped from his lip. His long shaggy bangs fell over his wounded eye as bruises covered his body along with scratches and cuts. Being sure he was then alone, he moved inside the castle to find several guards motionless upon the ground. As if timed perfectly, Snow then entered the foyer and ran to him, holding his arm.

"Is she with you?"

His gaze fell as Snow gasped at his physical nature.

"What happened?"

"It is my fault. I promise I will bring her home-again..." He said, disappointed in his actions.

"You are not going alone."

"You are in no condition to travel..." Charming said, moving his hand to her stomach.

"I know...but I will send you to the best people I know...They can help you get her back...they have a past with Pan..."

"You know him?"

"I had the misfortune of seeing him once-in my youth. It is no matter. My husband can grant you whatever you wish. Any weapon...any ship-"

"I prefer mine...but thank you."

"Killian....I judged you before...I do approve of your marriage to Emma...but I am fearful what they will do to her. Please...do whatever it takes. Gold is no obstacle...."

"I do fear for something..."

"What?' Charming asked, moving close.

"They have magic....they can have a protector spell or...or something of that nature...they can use it against me and I would be defenseless..."

"Give me a moment..." Snow disappeared from the room as Charming gave Killian a sword from his side.

"I can't-"

"You have show your valiance... I have knighted you already...but no honor is greater than fighting with a king's weapon."

"Thank you, Sir."

Charming nodded as Snow returned, showing him a small pouch. "You can put it on your side or in your boot."

"What is it?"

"A protector spell of your own. As long as it is on you, you are protected. You cannot allow it to part from you..."

"Thank you."

"I also have a map..."

"Where exactly IS it that I'm headed?"

Snow sighed, revealing the map as he read the name and she spoke it aloud; "Arendelle."
