Today was a big day, Liam and Leía were going to have their big fights tonight. Liam being the son of the queen he had to fight for his right to be prince so he had to fight tonight as well as Leía. It's not pretty at the fact that they have to do that but I mean there's no other choice. That's when I think of my little Aqua. I'm pretty sure she is roughly 18 by now.

She's a grown woman. I walk around the east side of the island and I see a ship. My heart started to race but then I think to myself it can't be Killian he doesn't even know where we are at. I see people stepping off and I see this young woman accompanied by some guards. I walk over there and come out from behind the trees. I have my spear with me and I walk out. "So what do we owe the pleasure to have guests today?"

The young lady scoffs. "I need to speak to the queen of this island," the young woman says. She looks somewhat familiar I think in my mind when I take a good look at her. "I am the queen, miss." I change my name in front of strangers so yeah. "It's your majesty," she says. I scoff and point my spear at her neck. "Be careful with that tongue of yours missy, this is my land and you respect your leader, didn't your mother teach you any manners?"

She looks at me furiously," I don't have a mother." I take my spear away and I sigh. "I'm so sorry." She nods. "I have come here scouring islands to seek a woman named Emma, do you know if she's here?" I gasp. "Who wants to know?" That's when I see my men coming out of the bushes and I turn around and Shane comes out. The young woman gasps. "Dad?" Shane and I looked at her in a weird way. Could it be I said in my mind, is this young lady my daughter Aqua?

I couldn't help it, I had to find out. I look at her hand and I see a bracelet with the half heart on it. I touch my necklace and smile. "This is Shane, King of the island miss." That's when a man comes out, "King and Queen you have been found guilty of kidnapping queen Emma and conspiring against the life of King Killian." I laugh, "come again, we did what?" Shane laughed. I grabbed the young lady, "on who's ground are we being accused of such treachery?"

"Emma's parents," the man says. I laugh, "those fools." I couldn't believe that my parents would accuse me of such thing but then again they don't know that I'm Emma, wait so Killian didn't tell them that I was left on an island just that perhaps I was lost somewhere. "So you two will be taken into custody by the Royal guard and will be sentenced to death." I laugh, "first you all come into our land uninvited then you blame us for something we did not do and then threaten to kill us."

Shane shakes his head, "that's bad form, so my queen what course of action shall we take?" "I don't know, maybe killing this woman will solve our problem or how about taking everybody hostage?" Shane smiles deviously. I smile back and he nods. "Let's go princess," I say as I pull her. Liam and Leía come to where we are at and Shane gasps, "kids go back you guys aren't needed here." They shake their heads.

"Let our kids join in on the action Shane," I say as I'm pulling the princess. He nods, "very well then." That's when I see someone familiar come out from below the deck of the ship. I still have the young lady around my arm and the man smiles, "you haven't changed a bit Emma." "Killian," I say and I smile. That's when I see a woman come out and stood by his side and hugged him then my smile fades away. I grabbed a dagger that I had inside my skirt and pointed it against the young woman's throat. "What are you doing Emma?" He screams and runs on to the beach. "You're not welcome here, leave!" I screamed.

He looked at me in a confused way and the woman walks down and stands next to him. "Please help me dad!" The young lady screams in my arms. My eyes shot open. I let her go and I back away. Killian nods. "That's right Emma, she's Aqua, our daughter." Aqua looks at me in a confused and scared way. "This can't be," I said and I dropped the dagger on the sand and touched my necklace. I look at Shane and he has a shocked look on his face.

I felt like I was going to faint and that's when Liam and Leía scream out to catch me. "Mom!" They both screams. Killian looks at me in a confused way and sighs, "mom?" Shane walks by and caresses my face. "My queen are you ok?" I smile and nod. Killian scoffs. "Oh I see you had these two while I was searching for a way back to you huh?" I throw him a dirty look. "Congrats on forming a new family with my brother." I was hurt by all the stuff he was saying.

"You forgot about Aqua and I, didn't you?" I sigh. Aqua looks at me and touches her bracelet, "so you're my mother?" I nod. I walked up to her and she backed away from me. That broke my heart. I threw Killian a mad look, "what did I tell you kids that your father looked like Shane?" Liam and Leía both nodded. Killian's face went blank.

Shane nodded, "men take all these people prisoners except for Killian and Aqua." I nod. "Liam and Leía take Aqua back to the eating grounds and keep her occupied we adults have things to talk about," Shane says. Killian walks towards me and I scoff. "So who's that wench that's with you?" "She's Elsa, the queen of our land" he says, "so she's not a wench. I gasp.

"Why did you lie and told them that I was their father, there's no way that I am their father?" I laugh and I look at Shane. He nods. "Tell you what my queen you both need to talk alone and don't forget that the duel for Liam is tonight." I nod and he walks away and grabs Elsa and ties her up then takes her with him. I grabbed my spear and I start to walk back inside the jungle with Killian at my side.
