Another life

Chapter 2:

It had been a few days since Killian arrived in the enchanted forest and Emma spent any free time she had with him, she listened to his stories as he never seemed to run out. Her feelings for him were growing, she couldn't deny he was attractive especially in the red vest he had found. This man had come into her life just a mere few days ago yet he knew her better than anyone in this whole kingdom including her parents, she couldn't help but be attracted to him.

She found him wandering the royal gardens late one night, he was observing the pink Middlemist roses that were growing but he was once again sad so she decided to join him.

She sidled up to him and looped an arm through his, she was only dressed in her nightgown so his body warmth was much appreciated "you ok?" She asked leaning her head onto his shoulder.

He fiddled about with the flowers pale pink petals "these bring back all but painful memories love but I'll be ok" he gave her a soft smile.

Emma frowned "see you say that and you give me a smile yet I don't think you are ok, please Killian talk to me"

"Emma you know why I get sad, you know about our other life and that I have feelings for you" he explained as he sat on a nearby bench.

Emma joined him and snuggled into his side "mmmh you're warm" she said slightly muffled as she buried her face into his neck.

"Are you cold?" Killian asked.

"Only a little bit" Emma replied

"Here" he said as he stripped off his coat and wrapped it round her shoulders, he sighed "this garden is quite beautiful"

Emma smiled "isn't it? I used to run around here when I was kid, feels like yesterday... Killian?.."

Killian looks at her "yes love?"

"I have to tell you something" she sucked in a breath "my parents have planned a ball tomorrow to find me a suitor" her smile faded when she looked at him.

Killian quickly jumped up from the bench "t-they what?!"

His pained expression broke her heart "but.. I want to go with you" she nodded as she got up from the bench and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Killian gave her a quizzical look "Emma.. do you mean to say-"

"Yes.. I have feelings for you at least I think I do" she said looking him in eyes.

She moved closer to him till their lips were almost touching, when she heard a twig snap beside them and snapped her head to look her eyes wide.

"What was that?" She whispered.

Just then the Evil Queen stepped out from one of the hedges "would you look at that, the princess has a crush" she laughed "and he's a pirate, I wonder what your parents would think about this" she gave Emma a toothy smile as she mocked her.

Emma stepped in front of Killian "Regina, what are you doing here?" Emma asked through gritted teeth.

"It's your majesty and I was just admiring the gardens but I stumbled upon something a little more interesting" Regina said once again giving Emma a smile and gesturing her hands between the two of them.

Regina stalked up to both of them and stared Killian down "hmm not bad princess, he'd made a great black knight" she smirked at him.

Emma narrowed her eyes "don't. Touch him!" As she guarded him with her arms.

Regina raised her arms "Oh i won't... not yet anyway" and with that she poofed herself away.

Emma let out a sigh of relief and relaxed "Sorry about that, we should head back inside" she said as they both walked back into the castle.
