Chapter 24 ✰ Wherever I'm With You

That night wasn't the easiest for Emma. Killian was still asleep and his body felt weak and drained of energy. She knew he wasn't going to last for much more days. He needed help and the fact she couldn't do anything about it, made her feel guilty. She ran a hand through his hair and pressed a kiss on his head. He shivered. It was freezing cold but his body felt warm.

A few moments later he woke up slowly. 'Goodmorning, love' he said with a hoarse voice. She smiled. 'How do you feel?' she asked worried. He tried to move but she could see the pain in his eyes. 'I've had better days, but I'll be alright.'

There was a long silence. 'I didn't get the chance to ask you, but... how do you get here?' he started. 'A lot of things happened the last few days. Milah and I where searching for you. We had no idea where to start, so we've tried everything. Yesterday we where so close, but he found us. Luckily Milah got away.'

'She knows where we are?' he asked.

'No, she doesn't know but I'm sure she'll find us!'

'And Neal? He's the one behind all this, isn't he?'

'He definitely plays a part in it, but I don't think he is the mastermind behind all this. He won't do that to me.' she said.

He snorted loudly and shook his head. 'Seriously, Emma? After all we've been through the last two weeks, you're still trying to save his ass?' 

'I'm not trying to save his ass. I'm just saying that he's not the only one to blame!' she yelled.

He rolled his eyes. 'What?!' she snapped. 'Nothing. I really hoped we could move on together, but I really don't know right now.'

She swallowed. 'I already told you I don't want to lose you, Killian.'

'You don't act like that. Besides that, you never wanted to marry me in the first place.'

She could see the pain in his eyes. 'I'm sorry I said that. I really am. I do want to be your wife and I never felt any regret on that point.'

'Then why did you say it?'

'I don't know. The night after our fight on the Jolly Roger was a blur. I went home with Neal and I was really upset. He tried to comfort me, so he grabbed some water. Well, I thought it was but then I fainted.' she explained.

'What happened to you?' he asked a bit worried.

'I still don't know what happened. I don't feel like myself since that night. It's driving me crazy...' she said almost crying.

Killian moaned while he wrapped his arm around her. 'We will find out, love. He'll never hurt you again.'

She laid her head on his shoulder. 'I really want to believe that, but we have to get out of here...' 

Killian laughed, but carefully because of his painful body. 'I actually started to like it here. Maybe we can get some candles to light things up and a sofa in the corner over there' he said while pointing to one of the corners besides them..

'Yeah we have to decorate it! Maybe we can put a christmas tree over there!' she said while pointing into the darkness. Killian smirked. 'Yeah, that's a perfect spot you got there, Swan.'

They both laughed. 'I'm glad we still have our sense of humor. Maybe we'll make it our home' she said while grabbing his hand.

He stared into her eyes. 'Home is wherever I'm with you, Emma'.
