Stranded (Captain Swan)

Chapter 8

Emma quickly got the message after Killian went to sleep. She quickly sighed before hopping into the comfier looking bed. She felt bad because Killian had to sleep on the floor on the uncomfy mattress, it was a very nice gesture, but Emma can handle herself. She has handled herself for the past 10 years after all.

 

Emma handled herself after Neal and giving up Henry. She could take care of herself. It was odd to have someone care for her that way. It’s even weird for Mary Margaret and David to take care of her even though they are her parents. Emma doesn’t let them care for her like they should and should have her whole life.

 

Having someone take care of her was a foriegn concept that Emma was trying to grasp. She could take of Henry easily because he was young and fragile, but Emma is old now and she finds it hard to believe that people want to take care of her. Especially strangers like Killian. He took her onto her ship. Fed her. And even offer her a place to sleep.

 

After Emma heard Killian make soft snoring noises, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

 

Emma was sitting down in the motel room with Neal, both smiling and both happy. Then Neal took out his phone and dialed 9-1-1.

 

Emma say what he was doing and freaked out. She couldn’t go through this again. How could she have been so stupid to trust him again? Why was she so stupid? “NO!” Emma screamed. “How could you do this to me? I thought you loved me.”

 

“I never loved you and I never will” Neal quickly said.

 

“9-1-1 What’s your emergency?” a loud voice from the phone said.

 

“Hi I’d like to report a robbery and where you can catch this girl.” Neal stated smirking evilly.

 

As Neal told the operator the information, Emma screamed she didn’t want to go to jail again. “Please no! I’ll do anything. Please just don’t do this to me. Please Neal I’m begging you.”

 

“I’m sorry Emma but it’s already done.’ Neal said with ease.

 

Emma’s voice cracked as she said “Sorry? How could you be sorry if you are sending me back to jail for your crime?”

 

Before Neal got the chance to respond the police came and arrested her.

 

“Please Neal tell them I didn’t do it.” Emma screamed. “Neal please, please, please. I’ll do whatever you want please don’t do this to me again.” Emma thrashed as the police tried to shove her into the squad car. She hated these handcuffs that limited her from doing anything. She cried out for help. Emma had to get out of her she couldn't go through this not again.

 

Emma woke to Killian rubbing her back and wiping her tears telling her it will be ok. “Shh Emma it will be ok. Whatever it was it wasn’t real.”

 

Emma turned her head and put it on Killian’s shoulder and cried on there. “I’m sorry I really shouldn’t be crying.” Emma mumbled into Killian’s shoulder. In her head, she thought I’m stronger than this. I really shouldn’t be crying.

 

“It’s fine really,” Killian lifted Emma off his shoulder to give her a sad smile, “do you want to tell me what the nightmare was about?”

 

Emma sat up and wiped her tears. “It’s nothing really just memories coming to the surface and changing a little bit. It’s the one part of my past I can’t seem to forget and escape.”

“That’s the thing about the past, you can never escape it. It will always come after you.”
