Darkened Love

Part Six

As Emma drove away from Killian's house, she pulled up to the docks and got out of her car. She slammed the door shut behind her and went to the railing. The sound of bells ringing when the wind blew could be heard, as well as the sound of the seagulls. The smell of salt filled the air. The sky was as blue as ever today, making the sun shine down on the water, letting it shimmer. Emma took a deep breath of the air.

"Miss Nolan. It's a surprise to see you here," she heard a voice say behind her. The sound made Emma's blood run cold because it sounded like the voice of the man from the other night. When she was walking back to her house with Killian. She turned around to see Mr. Gold leaning against his cane.

"You too," she said hesitantly.

"I agree that everyone should have a thinking spot. For me, I choose the countryside."

Emma nodded, making sure to keep her distance. Of course, she could run away from him. It's not like he could easily capture her. Not with one foot. "The docks were always best for me." She said and turned her attention back to the water.

"Not for long," he mumbled under his breath. Emma turned and was able to duck just in time for his cane to come crashing down onto the railing where she was just standing.

"What the hell?" She asked in a panic, but jumped out of the way, just in time or else she would have been hit by the cane. She started running down the dock. Killian wasn't going to help her. Not this time. If he was going to, he already would have. He wasn't watching her, and that made her mood dampen a little bit. She looked behind her, and Mr. Gold was limping down the dock after her, but he didn't look worried that she was getting away. When she collapsed into a chest, she was hoping to look up to find Killian, but, he wasn't there. Instead, it was another man. He had a scar on his face and brown eyes with brown hair. He wrapped his hand around her wrist tightly, causing Emma to cry out in pain. "Let me go!"

"Not a chance," he said in a deep, British accent. Emma looked behind her to see Mr. Gold. "Would you like to do the honors?"

"With pleasure," Mr. Gold said through clenched teeth and raised his cane up.

"Killian!" She screamed out before there was a sharp pain on her head and she fell to the dock in a motionless heap.

"We have to get out of here. That vampire will be here any second," Mr. Gold said as he walked to his car.

The other man picked Emma up and slung her over his shoulder. "Should we tie her up now?"

"No. Just put her in the trunk. Once we get to the shelter we will. It's nice to finally work with you again, Hyde."

"You too, Gold."

Killian released the grip on his head when he heard it. Her scream. She was frightened. Terrified. But all of a sudden, all emotions that he felt were gone. He got out of his chair and ran outside, smelling the air for her, but couldn't get a trace. He got in his car and drove around town, starting with her parent's house. When she wasn't there, he went to Ruby's house. After she wasn't there either, he started at Main Street. He parked his car and went into all of the shops she had visited recently to try to pick up her scent.

When Emma woke up again, her head throbbed. The pain pounded against her skull. She tried to rub her head, but found that her hands were tied behind her back. She wanted to scream for help, but she had duct tape around her mouth. She looked around, but couldn't see anything. The room was pitch black, with only small streams of light coming in from the cracks of the boarded up windows. Her feet were tied to the chair's legs. She was trapped and couldn't get herself free. She sat there for a few minutes, trying to get out, when the door opened and she froze. The light clicked on and she was met with Mr. Gold and the same man from earlier.
