Rumpelstiltskin's Heir

I don't want to talk

I woke up quietly in Killians's arms.

"Killian." I whispered, but then I realized he was awake

"You're awake." I mumbled sleepily

He nodded "I couldn't sleep. You seemed to be having a nightmare."

"I'm sorry."

"It's alright love. You talk in your sleep though."

My heart dropped "I-I do? W-what did you hear?"

"Not everything. You only mumble a few things."

"What did I say?" I pressed. I needed to know what he heard.

"I heard you say 'I love you' to someone. I heard Milah's name. I heard my name....and I heard Auxi's name."

"Oh. That's it?" 

"Yes. Why? Was there anything you didn't want me to hear?"

"It's more of something that happened. Along time ago."

"Was he there?"

"Auxi? Yes. He-he wanted me to move on."

Killian turned to me in shock "Really now?"

I sighed "Yeah."

"Is that why you mentioned me? Was I-er an option?"

I chuckled "Killian wouldn't you want to know. Can we get ready? I think it's time to go."

"You're changing the subject."

I smiled "You know me so well. I don't want to talk about it right now...ok?"

He sighed "Very well Aldara."

~At Camp After They Met Tinkerbell~

Emma and I lazily sat next to Hook. He handed a coconut to Emma and began to make a hole on one for me. I felt Tinkerbells eyes piercing through me and Emma. What's her problem? And then I thought about how he said 'our past'. Did he cheat? No. For that to happen we would have to be together. And that never 'officially' happened. Yes I was the one he came back to at night, the one who would tuck him in, would kiss him, and be with him most of the day. I was also definitely the one who knew him the most. But we weren't an actual couple. Either of us were free to be with someone else. I never did that. I felt that he was my protector, and so I would never kiss anyone behind his back. I'm not sure if he was with Tinker. Then again...it's none of my business.

He handed me the coconut and I smiled as my lips met the cold coconut milk. I haven't had one in years. I stared into Hooks eyes for a moment when everything went black.  

I gasped for air as I landed in a grassy meadow.

"I'm sorry I took you like this. But you need to know."

I stood up facing Auxi "What happened? Is something wrong?"

His face was expressionless. "Your brother. He's on his way."

I shook my head "Auxi, that's impossible! He's dead."

"No. He fell through the portal to the Enchanted Forest. He's alive Aldara. And he will arrive tonight."

I felt my world spin. My brother. Alive. Everything has changed. I had to find my father again. We needed to be a family.

"Thank you Auxi!"

He smiled weakly "It's I'm here for. To help."

I kissed him "no Auxi. You are so much more. I love you."

He pecked my forehead and I felt my eyes be overwhelmed by a bright white light.

"Aldara!"

My eyes fluttered open "Mugh?" Everything was fuzzy, my body was numb. Where was I?

"Aldara!" I heard the voice closer

I blinked a few times. "Ki-Killian?" I asked now recognizing his voice. He was holding me in his arms, his face was an inch away from mine and it looked of complete fear.

"You're ok!" exclaimed snow

"Um...yeah...w-what happened?"

"You just black out. We thought you were joking...but then Hook noticed you weren't. Are you alright kid?"

I held my head with my hand. After everything. I don't think I can talk.
