The Most Unexpected Things Happen - Killian Jones FanFic

Chapter 21 - Hidden Deeply

*Time Skip 2 Months Later*

It's been about 2 months since me and Killian started practicing proper sword fighting and it was fair to say that I was getting a little better. I have quite a few scars here and there and a few fresh cuts from last nights practice. We agreed that after last night, we might leave it a few weeks for my body to heal and rest up. Snow let me help her teach the kids in school with her as I never really had anything to do during the day. Everything went quiet so we calmed the training and researching down a little. Me and Killian had definitely grown closer and he even let me move in with him. Regina has offered to teach Skylar and Zoe about making different potions and let them move in with her. No one else had come through any portals and everyone that was here had settled in well. Rumple had come back and it's fair to say no one wanted to be around him. I had finally got my own phone and kept in contact with my parents. I've managed to keep them updated on what's been going on and they were happy for the decisions I made as long as I was happy. It was mid-day and Snow and I went for lunch. We sat down at Granny's and Snow looked at me.

"You seem really tired lately." She says.
"I'm always tired, aren't I?" I say, a little confused.
"I mean more than usual. I'm concerned Jasmine. Is everything okay between you and Killian?" She asks.
"It couldn't be anymore perfect." I say, smiling.
"Although, I've just been having this nightmare lately." I add.
"Nightmare?" She says.
"It's just one nightmare, repeating itself every night." I explain.
"Does Killian know?" She asks.

I shake my head and look down at my hands.

"I don't want him to worry. Plus, this has happened before. I just let it pass." I say, shrugging my shoulders.
"And how long did that last?" She asks.
"3 weeks. It's only been 2 so far." I answer.
"If this doesn't get better, you have got to tell him." Snow says, a serious look on her face.
"Fine but for now, he is not to know. I don't want to hide it but with things quiet, no one needs to worry." I say.

Ruby gives us our food and leaves me and Snow to discuss what we'll do for our next lesson. We decided on creative story writing and we'd let the children decide what they want to write about. We get back to the school and head to the class to see the students waiting outside the room.

"Everyone head in." Snow says.

I head in after all the children get in and take their seat. Snow let me teach the lesson this afternoon.

"Right class. We're going to do something different today. You're all going to write a story of your own and if you wish to, you can present it to the class." I say, smiling.

Everyone had a piece of paper and a pen and they started writing almost immediately. This gave Snow a chance to look at the children's work from yesterday. As I walk around the room, my phone starts ringing. I go outside the room and answer.

"Hello?"
"Love, it's me." Killian says.
"Hey, what's up?" I say.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay." He says.
"I'm okay. Why wouldn't I be?" I say, confused.
"You just seem really tired lately." He says, sounding worried.
"Meet me here at the time I finish and we'll talk, okay?" I say softly.
"Aye. I love you." He says.
"I'll see you later." I say then hang up.

I get back to my lesson and an hour later, the children were finished with their stories. No one wanted to present them so I decided I would read them after me and Killian have our conversation. The bell rings and it means the school day has ended. I put the children's stories in my bag and head out of the school. I see the children running to the bus and I see Killian looking at me, smiling. I smile and run up to him and he wraps his arm around my waist.

"You look happy, love." He says.
"Well I get to see you." I say.

We start walking towards the ship, which is now home, and Killian speaks up.

"So what's been troubling you?" He asks.
"Well, I've been having this.....nightmare." I say.
"For how long?" He asks, standing in front of me.

He grabs my hand and I look at him.

"It's been happening for about 2 weeks." I say, looking down.
"And you didn't tell me?" He says.
"I didn't want to worry you. We've all been going through a lot so I didn't want to worry anyone." I explain, a tear rolling down my face.
"But you know you can talk to me." He says.
"I don't like talking to people, I listen to people. I've always been like that and I'll always be that way!" I shout, tears flooding my eyes.

I didn't look up, I couldn't. I feel warmth wrap around me and I try to hold my tears back.

"You're impossible." He says.
"But I love you for it." He adds, chuckling.

We're suddenly in our room and Killian pulls away.

"You can tell me in your own time." He says.

He wipes away my tears and I look up at him.

"You're not mad?" I ask.
"Of course not, love. But just because I'm a dark one, doesn't mean I don't worry about you." He says, planting a kiss on my forehead.

I can suddenly feel the scars throb and the cuts start to hurt. The pain starts to hurt more and Killian notices this.

"We need to take you to Emma." He says.

We teleport to Snow's apartment and Killian holds me close.

"What's going on?" Snow asks.
"The scars, cuts. They hurt!" I exclaim.

Emma comes over to me and holds my shoulders.

"What were you doing before this?" She asks.
"We were talking about her nightmare." Killian answers.
"So she told you." Snow says.
"Mom, call Regina and the girls." Emma says.
"Jasmine, we're going to need to see what's going through your head." Emma says to me.
"No!" I shout.

I hear the door open.

"We are nee- What's going on?" Regina says.
"Sky! You can't let them see!" I say.
"See what?" Regina says.
"We need to see what's going through her head because that might be causing her physical pain." Emma says.

I go to Killian and he wraps his arm around me. Skylar looks at me and she has that look that says 'It's going to happen whether you like it or not'.

"It won't hurt but we need to see what's hurting you." Emma says.
"It's going to haunt you." I say.

Regina and Emma look at each other and gently place each hand on my head. I fall unconscious.
