Guys.... ;)

"We really don't have time for this!" I shout, causing Emma to draw her sword. A hand grabs my wrist, pulling me away from Emma, and behind another body. "Is that Pan's shadow?"

"Yeah, it's Pan's shadow!" Bae shouts from my right, making me realize it's Killian who stands before me, though with how dark it is, it's damn near impossible for me to see him.

"What about the other two?!" Killian shouts over the sound of the wind. Before anyone can respond, the three shadows begin their attack, flying at us from all different directions. Killian keeps me pushed behind him as he tries to fend off one shadow, but I see another coming after him from the other side. Glancing down, I see a small dagger in his belt, and I grab it, swinging at the shadow, who barely dodges the blade. The warmth from behind me disappears, and I turn just in time to see the shadow slam Killian into a tree.

"Kil!" I cry, but a sound from behind me causes me to turn, seeing a second shadow holding Bae to a separate tree. Both men scream in pain, and I sit there, feeling helpless as I watch their shadows being slowly torn from their bodies.

"Get out of here!" Bae shouts, and I glance to Emma, tears in both our eyes.

"Just go, save yourselves!" Killian screams at the end of his sentence, and I can't hold back the sob.

"No!" I scream, standing to my feet to distract the third shadow, the one flying over Emma. "I will not lose you." I glance at Emma, whose eyes are wide with fear. "Light it. You can do it, I believe in you." I swing at the shadow, hitting it, causing it to fly away momentarily. The shadow glides back towards me, and my grip on the dagger tightens, ready to fight, when Emma appears at my side. A small flame dances inside the coconut, and the shadow begins to be drawn towards it, sucked into the light. When she puts the lid on, officially trapping it, the other two shadows disappear, Killian and Baelfire falling to the ground. Willing my feet to move, I rush to where Killian lies, falling to my knees beside him; he groans as he slowly shifts so he's sitting up on his knees. The second his eyes meet mine, I reach out, grabbing both sides of his face with my hands, crashing my lips to his. It's like every fiber in my being bursts into flames, the rest of the world disappearing as Killian's lips move in sync with mine. I could feel the blood rushing through my body, the heat rushing to wherever Killian's skin touched mine. A soft squeak of surprise escapes me as he wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me so that I'm straddling him, but he swallows my faint noises, his lips never leaving mine. A calloused, warm hand slips under my black tank top, resting on the skin exposed just above my hip at the same time a cold sensation settles into the same location, just on the opposite side of my body. The contrast between the warmth of his skin and the cool of his hook sends a shiver down my spine, desire coursing through my entire body, pooling in the deepest, darkest areas of my heart, of my mind. An animalistic growl comes from the back of his throat as I bite down on his lower lip ever so slightly, causing him to deepen the kiss. I am drowning and the only thing keeping me alive is Killian, his lips pulling me to the surface, the two of us clinging to one another as though it's our only way to survive. The feeling of his mouth on mine, the fervent urgency held within the kiss, ignites a want, a need, that I never knew existed. As Killian pulls away, both of us in desperate need of air, I can feel the broken, shattered pieces of my heart that have lain in a pile for years begin to repair.

"That was... Wow." Killian exhales deeply, a wide smile on his lips, as he rests his forehead against mine. "I've waited months to do that." I can't help but giggle slightly, feeling so happy that I fear my chest might burst at any moment.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again." My voice is barely audible, but with how close Killian is to me, I know he heard me.

"I'd say I'm sorry, but after that kiss, I'm really not." He grins widely and I can't help but gently smack his shoulder, earning a chuckle from him. "You can't get rid of me that easily." He brings his lips to mine in one tender, quick kiss before he stands, pulling me to my feet along with him. With a glance at Bae, reality hits me like a ton of bricks, and I storm out of the clearing without another word.
