Cursed (Book 2 of the Enchanted Series) Captain Swan Fanfiction

Chapter 27- What it Takes to Believe

"Who are you?" Emma asked as she brushed off her dress before glaring at Will and Killian. Killian returned her confused expression before Will tried to think of what to say.

"I am whoever you want me to be." Killian flirted as she jumped back, before moving further up the beach. "I do not think you want to go into the village looking like that..." He commented as she threw herself onto the stone walkway that was a small lift from the sand.

"And why not?"

"A woman of your...appearance to walk into a village-any man would do whatever possible to take advantage of that...of you..."

"And you think of me to be a woman that would give into something so easily?"

"To be honest, I do not know you very well, love...besides-"

"I am not your love...and I can handle myself." She turned quick before her heel broke and she fell back towards Killian as he caught her in his embrace. For a moment, they lingered in a longing gaze before she pulled herself upright and glared at him.

"It appears as we are both...confused at the moment, perhaps it is best we stay together..."

"I do not know you!"

"Do you know anyone?"

Suddenly she drew a blank. Not a single face could be imagined, but blurry images instead. Almost as if her mind was a steamy mirror after a shower. Focusing hard, she looked back towards him before analyzing him and nodding.

"You appear to be good with a sword...and with the branding of the one you carry-I suggest you are a noble man...although you act...otherwise."

"I suppose you are a princess of some kind...due to your...looking down onto me."

"I simply have feelings of people...and my feeling about you is that you are nothing but trouble."

Will then interjected before moving towards them. "You two have been cursed. You know one another...and were actually very in love..." They looked at each other with a deep horror before looking back at him.

"You must have us mistaken for someone else."

"No. You are Emma Swan, daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, you were betrothed to him, he was a noble knight who was under the rein of your father." His gaze shifted to Killian. "You are Killian Jones, a pirate-turned knight, who was engaged to marry Emma." His brow arched before he glared.

"Are you sure you are not ill, mate? We cannot stand one another."

"Legend claims you could not at first either, but the curse upon you two, makes those feelings-everything you have been through, to exist only in my memory and anybody who you crossed paths with. Understand when I tell you, you were very much in love, but also, very much in danger..."

"Danger?" Her voice became small as the single-worded question emerged betwixt the trio.

"Yes." His gaze shifted to Killian. "You have many enemies, and they are after you, if they hear of your loss of memory, it would give them an easier shot to get to you..."

Emma rolled her eyes, aggravated with Killian.

"You both have enemies...Killian's are just more...powerful..."

"What do we do to get our memory back then?"

"We have to break the curse...Killian had broken the magic before-forcing the sea witch to do this to you both."

"I have heard of her..." Emma said as they walked further through the village. "She has a reputation for granting people's wishes-but for a wicked price. Usually something that spirals their lives into chaos-"

"It is true, you have both experienced it."

"Then let us go back and exchange our memories for something-"

"It does not work that way, you only are gifted one request in your life...and we have all used ours..."

"I haven't..." Henry spoke as he emerged from behind them and positioned himself with a worried expression before them.

"Who are you?" Will asked before Killian and Emma felt a strange deja vu. For a moment, they stared at the boy before he reached out towards Emma.

"I am your son..."

"We didn't..." Emma's eyes grew wide towards Will as he shook his head.

"His father was killed in a great war many years ago, when Henry was still a child."

"I remember something...It is just in fragments...I feel as though I can trust you..." She spoke to Henry as he nodded.

"You can, and you saved my life, got me away from Pan."

"Pan..." Killian glared before his mind also placed him through thoughts before he turned back towards Emma. "I have a recollection that he was not someone we called a friend."

"On the contrary....he harmed you both...but I stabbed him..."

Emma's eyes went wide.

"You killed him?"

"No. He is too powerful, but I did wound him. But he WILL retaliate...if he isn't beginning to already."

"Then what do we do?"

"We must get you home...your mother's wisdom will help us for our plan, and your father's army will help protect you."

"Why are you doing this for us?" Emma asked as they ventured home.

"I did not know it at the time, but I was harming you more than helping...it was all to find my son...but I fear...I am too late."

"What happened to him?"

"He was lost at sea after my ship was overtaken by pirates." Killian bowed his head in shame. "You would be the same age as my William...I only prey he did not suffer before being taken by Davy Jones..."

"Davy Jones?"

"Davy Jones locker...the end for pirates...or seafarers..." Killian explained to Emma as she nodded.

Emma, Killian, Will, and Henry ventured towards the castle before sets of footsteps began to follow them. Unknowing to them, as always...they were not alone...
