Shattered

16~Paying The Price

Hook's P.O.V.

Emma and I leave Gold's shop and head towards the barn, where the time portal opened.

We are both quiet, searching for words to say.

After a few minutes, Emma breaks the silence.

"I-I'm sorry," she says quietly.

I give her a questioning look, as if asking her to expand on her statement.

"I'm sorry for this morning. It's not fair to you for me to make you wait longer, I'm sorry," she explains.

"It's fine love," I respond.

"No, it's not. I wish I didn't feel so guilty for bringing back Marian, but I do," Emma tells me.

"Don't worry about it," I inform," I brought back Elsa, so I guess we both feel guilty."

Emma giggles.

"Let's never travel to the past ever again," she suggests.

I smile.

"Yeah, that'd be best," I reply.

Before we know it, we arrive at the barn.

"I'll be right back," Emma says," I'm gonna go get that bottle."

As fast as she leaves, she comes back.

"That was quick," I remark.

"Well it was in plain sight," she smirks.

"Anyways," Emma continues," the hard part is finding Elsa."

"I might be able to find her," I say," she's my mother, so she won't mind talking to me. I'll find her and distract her. You can sneak up behind me then do your magic to get her in that bottle."

"Sounds good," Emma agrees.

We continue walking down the street. After a while, we end up at Granny's.

I walk up to Ruby.

"Does there happen to be an Elsa who has a room here?" I ask.

"Wait one minute while I check," Ruby replies politely.

I sit down and Emma takes a seat next to me.

"Any luck?" she questions.

"Ruby is checking right this moment," I assure her.

Emma sighs.

"I'm just ready for this town to go back to normal," she says.

"Aren't we all," I answer.

Moments later, Ruby comes back with a paper that she reads.

"Elsa Jones is in room 37," Ruby informs.

"Thank you so much Ruby," Emma says," we really appreciate it."

Emma and I go straight to room 37.

"Stay back," I suggest," I will keep the door open. Listen in for the proper time to come in."

"Good luck," Emma bids before I knock.

She hides in the hallway as Elsa opens the door.

"Killian? What are you doing here?" Elsa looks confused.

"I just figured I might as well stop by since I'm at Granny's. You're my only family here," I lie.

"I'm a bit busy at the moment trying to kill Rumplestiltskin," she retorts.

"Mother," I say," don't do it. Trust me, revenge isn't worth it."

"Don't tell me what to do," Elsa scolds.

Behind my back, I motion for Emma to come in slowly.

"I'm not trying to boss you around," I inform," I am trying to help you."

"I don't need help from my son," she snaps.

Just then, I see a flash of light, and Elsa is zapped into the bottle. Emma uses another spell to keep the bottle locked so my mother can never escape.

"We did it!" she exclaims.

Emma runs into my arms and hugs me. I put my arms around her and pull her in close.

"Well done Swan," I say.

All of a sudden, I feel a shock and see a flash of light.

Then, I see Elsa.

No. This can't be happening. I think to myself.

I was zapped into the bottle along with my mother.
