Twists of Fate

Chapter 9

Emma's POV

"Do you know where she lives? I want to find her."

There is a silence. You could hear a pin fall to the ground. It was awkward as hell. I hope Chase knows where Allison is. She is my sister after all. I can't just abandon her.

But by every passing second, I lose more and more of my hope, until it was completely gone.

"I don't know. Not exactly at least."

"Can you call her or something and ask?"

"I could try to call her old number, but I'm not sure, if she still has it or if she would answer at all. The last time I talked to her was a year ago."

I was angry at him and felt the need to torture him or something like that, but Killian still held my hand, which soothed me.

Chase was looking for excuses, that would spare him to call Alli. He's just like my parents. They also always have excuses, that are supposed to justify their lies.

But that makes me wonder about one thing...My parents say they did it because they care about me. I believe them at that, which doesn't mean I forgive them, but I can relate to that. I would also do anything, that would protect Henry. Even things like ripping out Violets heart in Camelot. That broke his heart, but it also freed Merlin.

He could have helped us to defeat the darkness. We couldn't know he would be useless or that the dark one would kill him.

So what is Chases motive for avoiding her?

Does she know about me and doesn't wanna meet me because our parents abandoned her and only bothered to find me?

Or is it something that happened between Chase and her?

I know none of this is my business, but I have to know. If he hurt my sister, he's gonna pay for that. I might not have my magic here, but I still have a fist and he still has a nose. Also I have a gun, which I could always use. I wouldn't wait a second to use it against him.

"Why are you avoiding to talk to her? What happened between the two of you?"

I stopped the elevator by pushing the red stop button. He won't get out of here before he tells me the truth.

"And don't even try to lie about it. I can tell when anyone is lying to me."

"Thats true."

I smile at Killian. I love it when he supports me. It gives me strength because love isn't weakness. Its strength. And our true love is stronger than anything else. We can accomplish everything we want to accomplish. Together we can overcome anything. Even death because death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.

"I just don't call her because I doubt, that she would want to talk to me."

"But why do you think that? Why wouldn't she wanna talk to you?"

"If she would wanna talk to me, she wouldn't have broken up with me. She wouldn't have insisted on me signing the divorce papers."

I didn't expect this even though it was kinda obvious. They did seem like a couple on the picture he showed me. They looked happy.

"So you broke her heart?" I didn't wait for him to answer and slapped him. He now had a bloody nose. I was going for another punch, but Killian stopped me by taking my wrist back with his hand. Like in Camelot, when Robin was attacked at the ball and I wanted to stop the guy responsible.

But even then Killian stopped me because he knew using my dark magic had consequences. I should have listened to him. Maybe if I never cured Robin, Killian wouldn't have get cut by Excalibur. He wouldn't have become a dark one and he wouldn't have died.

Magic always comes with a price. Maybe he had to pay the price of my dark magic.

"Swan, I understand, that you want him to pay for hurting your sister, but this isn't the way. This isn't you. Don't let anger change who you are. I know vengeance is tempting. The darkness always is. But you're strong, my love. You can fight the darkness inside you."

I nodded and hugged him, burying my face in the crook of his neck and breathing in his scent. Then I gave him a small kiss on the neck before pulling away and looking deeply into his eyes.

"You're right. Thanks. I love you."

"I love you too. Always."

I smiled brightly at him. I know he's said those three words hundreds of times to me, but everytime he does, it feels like when he first said them.

Then I turned around to Chase and the other doctor again. She examining his nose and it made me angry again. Especially the way she was looking at him...all worried and caring.

"I'm not gonna apologize since you deserved what you got, but I promise to don't do the same again. I'm a better person than that." I sighed. I know this probably will make me angry again, but I just have to know.

"So what did you do to Alli? Did you cheat on my sister with her?" I said referring to the other doctor.

"No! I didn't really do anything. We broke up because of her." I clenched my fists again, trying hard to resist to punch him again. He shouldn't blame their break up on her. I believe she is innocent. Why else would she break up with him? It doesn't make any sense.

"She's a pretty broken person. Its hard for her to love without walls up. She broke up with me because she realized she could never love me enough for our relationship to work. She thinks she is an unfixable mess."

We are pretty much alike. From Chases description she is exactly like I was before I met Killian.

That breaks my heart. I hoped that she was happy. I want her to be happy.

So I will find her and do anything in my power to make her happy.
