Chapter 14: A Tale to be Decoded

Killian's P.O.V

Emma passed out and I started to freak out. "Emma! Emma? Wake up, love!" I held her arm in one hand and brushed her cheek with the other one. "What happened to her?!?" I heard Mary Margaret ask Belle.

"I- I think she froze her heart..." Belle muttered. "The story tells of Elsa freezing her sister's heart when she found out about the deal she'd made with Zoso. Her sister's name was Anna. When Anna found out that she wanted to kill you, Killian, she got mad. Elsa didn't know how to control her powers yet and froze Anna's heart. Anna ended up dying... They didn't know how to save her,"

"No..." Mary Margaret gasped. "There must be a way to save her. We- we could split my heart like Snow and Charming did. We could take her heart out and melt the ice... Something!" I exclaimed.

Belle shook her head. "They tried to save Anna, but nothing worked. I'm sorry, if I knew a way, I promise I'd tell you," Snow started crying and hugged Belle. I was trying to stop the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes, but to no avail.

I put my a hand above Emma's heart. It was beating, but just barely. She was extremely cold. Frozen, almost. "Emma, wake up love, please," I whispered. Nothing. She didn't move.

I just kept holding her hand, hoping it would do something. Suddenly, my mind went to Henry. The lad should be here with his mother. "Henry! Come here, lad," I called into the kitchen where Ruby had taken him and the baby.

Henry came out, looking understandably nervous. "Is- is she gonna be okay?" He asked me. "I don't know, Henry," I said quietly. Henry hugged me tightly and I wrapped my free arm around him, my other arm around Emma.

After a few moments, Henry looked up at me, teary-eyed. "What about true love's kiss?" My face probably lit up. "Henry, you're a genius!" I bent down and kissed Emma's lips, a hopeful expression on everyone in the room's face.

But, after a about thirty seconds, when it still hadn't done anything I lost hope. Her heart had stopped beating. "The ice around her heart must be too thick," Belle said sadly. Mary Margaret came behind me and a sobbing Henry. The three of us hugged and it was all I could do not to start sobbing like Henry was.

Emma's P.O.V

As quickly as the darkness had engulfed me, the cold did too. I could see again, but I wasn't sure of it was real or not. I was freezing, and I was standing in the middle of a flat, snow-covered expanse of land.

The frigid cold wind was blowing right at my face as I made my way through the snow. It was just a plain, flat, white landscape for as far as I could see. It was snowing hard and the wind didn't help.

I continued to walk and eventually started to hear screaming. It grew louder and louder until I recognized it as Henry's "HENRY!!!" I called out, but there wasn't an answer. I started looking for him, but I was the only person for miles, it seemed.

I kept calling out my son's name as I trekked farther into the desert of snow, but didn't find him.

Suddenly, the scene shifted. I was no longer standing in snow, I was chained to the mast of a ship... The Jolly Roger. I heard multiple voices calling my name, but I recognized three: Killian, David and Mary Margaret.

"Help! Emma, help!" They cried, but they were nowhere to be seen. I looked ahead of me, into the expanse of deep blue sea and spotted multiple heads bobbing up and down. I squinted and was able to see all the people I care about out there, drowning.

Killian, Henry, my parents, Neal, Regina, even Rumple and Belle and Robin among many others. They were all calling my name now, and I could do nothing. I was tied tightly to the mast, not able to move, not able to help them, I couldn't even call their names and tell them I was trying to help them, that everything would be fine. My voice wouldn't work, and I didn't know if it would be okay anyway.
