Twists of Fate

Chapter 7

Emma's POV

Me and Killian were now standing in front of Ashley's room. I was holding onto his hook and watched Chase and Foreman taking care of my friend.

"Do you think she will be okay?" I asked Killian, looking up at him.

He turned, so he was facing me instead of Ashley's room and took my other hand with his. He gave it a light squeeze, then he lifted it up and kissed it.

"You're worrying again, Swan. You don't have to. I believe your friend will be alright." I smiled brighly at him.

"Thanks for cheering me up. I don't know how, but you always succeed at that. You can always make me feel better. That means a lot to me." I hugged him. "I love you."

"I love you too."

We were standing in our embrace for a little while longer, until we heard the door open. It was Foreman and Chase.

Foreman smiled lightly at us and left, but Chase stayed behind.

"We ran some test's on Ashley. We will soon get the results. I am pretty certain, that she will be alright."

"Thanks." I smiled at him.

"No reason." He kept standing in front of us. There kinda was an awkward silence. "And I wanted to apologize for earlier. When we all thought you were someone else."

"Its alright. Confusing, but it really is okay. Sometimes two people can look a little alike. Or sometimes you just think they are someone you know because you haven't seen them in a while and you really want it to be them."

"You don't just look a little like her. You look exactly like Cam." He pulled out his phone from his lab coat. Then he showed me a picture.

On the picture there was him and...me?! I couldn't remember that actually happened. It must be this Cameron.

"Thats her."

"Bloody hell! Swan, she looks exactly like you." Killian said. I turned to him. Telling him without words, that this is scaring me. Which is ridiculous.

I'm the Savior. I fought against a lot villains. I even fought a dragon once. But here I am...scared because someone looks exactly like me.

Killian gave my hand, which was still holding his, a squeeze, signalizing me, that he's here for me and that everything will be alright.

Then my phone rang. I looked, who it was. It was my mum.

"I have to answer this. Will you be okay for a few minutes?" I said to Killian and he smiled back at me. I left then, standing on a balcony of the hospital.

"Hi mum. Whats up?"

"Emma! Its so good to hear your voice again. I miss you. How is Ashley?"

"Not great. They couldn't perform the surgery, so she was transferred to another doctor. They are running multiple tests now, trying to figure out what's wrong with her." I sighed. "How are you and dad? And how's Henry?"

"We're all fine. Henry is at Regina's at the moment."

"How are you doing, Emma? It sounds like you could be better."

"No. I'm fine. Just worrying about Ashley. And her doctors all know this girl and she looks exactly like me. Its like we're the same person. That kinda freaks me out."

There was a silence on the other end of the line. Then I overheard whispering between my parents.

"David. Do you think...?"

"No. Snow. It can't be her. She's dead."

"We could tell Emma. She could figure out if maybe she isn't really dead."

"But what if she is. Then Emma will just figure out we lied to her. That wouldn't be good. Don't you remember the last time we did."

"What? You're lying to me again?" I couldn't believe it. My mum is the worst liar in the world, but lying to me seems so easy to them.

Why do they keep doing that? I trusted them. They didn't care though. They always lie to me.

They will probably have an excuse. A lame excuse and I don't think I will be able to forgive them this time.

I'm sick of people lying to me. I'm sick of always being betrayed and hurt.

"Emma...you weren't supposed to hear this. I'm so sorry." She sounded desperate, but I won't fall for that.

"We didn't tell you to protect you. We didn't wanna cause you pain."

"Well...you failed. Lying to me won't protect me. It will just take away my trust towards you." I was angry and screamed at them. Luckily there's no one else on this balcony. "So tell me...what is it you didn't felt the need to tell me about?"

"You have a twin. Her name is Allison. We thought she was dead. That she didn't survive the dark curse. We sent her through the same portal as you and August, so we thought he would have found her too, if he found you."

I hang up and sucked in a deep breath.

"Swan. I heard you scream. Is everything okay? Are you hurt? What happened?" Killian entered the balcony. He ran towards me. When he noticed I was crying, he pulled me into his arms. Holding me tightly.

I cried into his shoulder for what felt like an eternity. Letting out all my anger through my tears.

Killian was just holding me and occasionally stroking my hair.

In this kind of times that's everything we need...each other. We need the others comfort. The strength of our love. Just being with each other because we're each other's happy ending and true love.

After the pain and anger was numbed by Killians presence, I pulled a little bit out of our embrace, but only as much as it was needed  for me to be able to look at him.

"Do you wanna talk about what just happened? Or would you rather not talk about it."

"I wanna talk about it. No more lies...remember?" I took a deep breath. "I have a sister. This Cameron everyone knows...she's my sister."
