True Love: God Approved

Chapter 17

* Killian's POV *

I sobered up instantly when I couldn't find Emma, needing no clue to know what happened. That bastard had taken her, and if I didn't get to her fast the thought of what they'd do to her made me sick. I was on my way to my ship to follow them when I heard one of the last voices I'd expect to.

"Hook!" David's voice yelled after me and I stopped, looking over to see he and Regina running up to me. "We've been looking for you."

"I don't have time to talk," I said simply, continuing quickly towards the dock with them following me. "I have to-"

"We know," Regina cut me off. "What do you think we're doing here? Henry wrote about it and they're blocking her magic, so she's basically defenseless."

"Bloody hell," I muttered, picking up the pace and sprinting to my ship.

*Emma's POV *

It'd been two weeks now and I was starting to lose hope. What if he thought I just left? Or that he decided that he wouldn't want me after all they'd been making me do? They hadn't actually gotten to the point of forcing sex on me, but they'd beat me, and touched me, and made me... touch them.

It was the middle of the day now so I was curled in the corner of my cell, still in the tattered clothes I'd been wearing when they took me. I heard a commotion on deck but tried to ignore it, closing my eyes and trying to pretend I was anywhere but here. I was caught up in thoughts of my night with Killian what felt like a life time ago when the cell door opened and I looked up just as someone was thrown in with me.

"Emma," Killian said with relief, quickly crawling over to me though I instinctively shrunk back. "Oh, my Emma, what have they done to you?"

"Killian," I whimpered when I finally registered it was him and this time I scrambled to him as he brought me into his arms. "You're really here."

"Aye, I'm really here," he sighed and I felt his eyelashes brush my neck as he closed his eyes and just held me. "I'm so sorry, I won't let them touch you again, I promise. I'm getting you out of here."

"How?" I asked weakly as I pulled away to look at him. He quickly noticed my shivering and lack of attire, taking his long jacket off to put it on me and making me feel safe for the first time in weeks. "You're stuck down here now, too."

"Not for long," he assured me, kissing my forehead lightly and rubbing my side gently as I leaned on his chest. "This was the plan, I had to find you and reinforcements are on their way. They'll get us out of here and get us home."

"You're sure?" I asked but just as I did I heard another commotion on deck and two sets of feet coming down the stairs, making me curl back into myself. "Wait, Dad?"

"Thank god, you're alive," he said with nearly as much relief as Killian had when he got down here as he unlocked the cell door and Regina came down behind him. "Come on, we've got a way home if we hurry."

"I've got you," Killian said softly, picking me up gently when I failed to stand. "Let's just get you to the ship, they can take care of the crew."

Almost all of the crew was passed out when we passed them on deck, only the captain coming to. Dad saw him getting up and promptly kicked him in the face, making him bleed profusely as he lay unconscious again. Once we were back on the Jolly Rodger Regina pulled out a familiar wand, opening a portal that we were quickly drawn into. Killian held me the whole time, holding onto me like I was his lifeline though it was quite the opposite.

When I saw Storybrooke again I almost cried, holding in the tears like I had been since that night. I vaguely heard Killian tell them he was going to take me home to get cleaned up and rest before he brought me to see everyone tomorrow, thanking him with a soft kiss to his neck as I held onto him.
