Saving The Saviour || OUAT || CS - complete

Chapter 8

When Emma awoke, there was no natural light. There was no windows and a door on the far side of the room. The only light she had was a small flickering candle that was in the corner.

She tried to get up and fight, but she had been chained. They were bolted to the floorboards and cuffed to her hands giving her no room to stand straight.

Her first instinct was to use her magic to free herself, but of course her kidnapper had managed to get a hold of Peter Pan's cuff.

"Who the hell are you? You better show yourself you coward!" She yelled into the darkness. "Come on!"

"I was expecting that poppy dust to keep you out longer. Hm, I guess you're a fighter" a deep voice chuckled at Emma's struggle.

"Why are you doing this?" Emma showed no trace of fear but instead allowed anger to seep through into her voice.

"Because, you have something I want. Well, maybe not you. I've already had the pleasure of searching your person. No, you're parents have what I want." His voice was suggestive. And no matter what emotion Emma showed, her kidnapper knew she was terrified.

"You think you can keep me here, as a ransom?" The thought was enough to send Emma's thoughts into a frenzy. What if she's killed right here and her family never find her.

"Oh, sweetheart. I don't 'think', I know" he said with a sadistic laugh filling the room before her kidnapper opened the door and left, making sure to slam it on his way out. The loud slam of the door make Emma jump, the door made the floor below her shake and rattled the chains.

After Emma was sure he had left, she began tugging at the chains, trying her best to rip them from the ground. After her attempts failed she focussed her attention on the black cuff residing on her left wrist. She tried her uttermost to remove it.

Eventually she realised it was no use and gave up. As she threw her body to the ground and pulled her knees to her chest, she allowed a single tear to shed and fall down her cheek.

It was that moment that Emma made a vow to herself. While she was here she was never going to shed another tear. The only emotion she will show is anger. Emma promised that she will not be vulnerable in front of this monster.

And until she was safe with her family, she would not allow anyone to see her weak.

So she didn't.
