Chapter six: The Enchanted Candle.

author note: So it's been a while since I've actually updated this fic, I guess it's because I just lost my muse for it and also I don't feel like anyone actually ever reads the ouat fanfics anymore but I'm going to try to finish this fanfic, since I'm hoping this will be the last series of "The Pirate I fell in love with." then I think I shall move on with a new one, we shall see anyways I hope you enjoy the rest of these few chapters however many that I make. Thank you all who stuck by this fic since I started.

The sun had sunk down in between the mountains, but Killian and David still had been searching everywhere for you even looking through places that were already checked twice. Killian wanted to find you, he wanted to make sure you were really okay and help you defeat this darkness. You tried your best not to make any noise as you were hiding in between trees watching the both of them calling out for you, looking for you.  "Maybe she's not here, maybe she's somewhere else in Storybrooke." David said as she stopped to face Killian. Killian leaned his back against a tree and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm sorry mate, I just thought maybe if I'd keep looking something would turn up, like a clue." David placed his hand on Killian's shoulder as he knitted his eyebrows together. "Well, how about this tomorrow morning we'll make a map of everything in Storybrooke, and then from there we'll go out searching but for we need to rest."

Killian sighed deeply "You go on mate, I am going to keep looking and if I start to get exhausted I can just rest up at rumples cabin." David nodded, "We will find her." he said and walked away out of the woods. "Killian turned on the flashlight in his hands as he continued searching for you and after a while, he had stopped at Rumple's cabin to rest. He sat in front of the fireplace watching the fire dancing, it reminded him of the times he had spent with you in the Enchanted Forest.

***Flash Back***

"Killian I told you already I am capable of making a fire! on the other hand, I don't think you're capable of doing anything since you are a one-handed pirate." You said looking at his hook Killian just rolled his eyes and smirked: "Love, I can do anything one-handed I'm sure you knew that already though."  You playfully pushed him and walked ahead of him "Please don't start." You and Killian had to rest up for you both had the longest journey away from the Jolly Roger, It had been a days walk and you both had stopped to set up camp. "I think I'm going to gather some firewood, you stay here and ...well...do what you usually do as a pirate," you said as you walked off to retrieve some firewood.

Killian stood there and took out his flask from his vest pocket and took a drink from it, he looked around it was a quiet night in the forest, nothing but the crickets had been chirping. When you arrived you had set up the firewood and created the perfect flame. "See I told you I was capable, you really think my father never taught me survival skills." You said smirking and placed your hand over the flame to warm your hands up. "I was wrong love." Killian said sitting next to you and offered you a drink from his flask. You politely declined and just watched the fire burning the wood. It was a silent night for you, but the silence was comforting especially since you had been with your one true love, but he didn't know that yet. Killian laid on his back and looked up at the stars. "You see that star there." he said pointing "That is the star to Neverland." You had laid next to him and followed to where he was pointing.  "what's it like in Neverland?" You asked.

He turned to face you, "It's one of the most dangerous places in all the realms ruled by a child that goes by Peter Pan, but if you wish to stay young forever that is where you could be but it comes at a price." Killian paused for a moment before speaking once more. "You can never leave Neverland." You sighed "Well remind me never to go to Neverland." you said letting out a small giggle. THe both of you made eye contact, his eyes were glistening from the reflection of the moon and then there it was he had kissed you. It was one of the most passionate kisses you two had ever shared.

****Present****

Killian took another drink still looking at the fire. You could see him through the window of the cabin, you wanted to let him know that you did love him but you couldn't not like this and not the way Regina had been controlling you. You weren't going to let her get to him, you would protect him with all of your heart even if it meant paying the price. So there was only one thing to do, retrieve the enchanted candle and find a way out of the darkness.
"You could tell him yanno, why go in and wait when he is right there in front of you." A vision of Rumple had appeared, it infuriated you just seeing his crocodile skin. "Now is not the time monster." You said clenching your fists as you turned around heading away from the cabin. "Why listen to Regina? She really has no power over you, she's weak and you dearie are the dark one." You rolled your eyes knowing this was all in your head. "You're not real." You told him and vanished arriving in front of Rumples store. "Alright." You said to yourself and went inside.

Walking into Rumple's store was the worst thing anyone could do, it meant they either were buying something or doing business with rumple as usual. Your eyes scanned for the enchanted candle but it was nowhere to be found. You heard footsteps coming out from the back of the shop, the curtain had opened revealing rumple "ah, miss y/l/n, come to retrieve something from my shop? What does Regina have you doing now?" Rumple said as he went behind the glass counter. "I need something, called an enchanted candle maybe you've heard of it?" You asked as you walked up to the counter now face to face with rumple. Rumple paused for a moment, "ah yes, but what does Regina want with it?" He asked.
"I don't know, but I'm doing this for killian...she'll kill him if I don't get this candle." Rumple stared at you before speaking "Very well then." He said as he went to the back of the store to retrieve it.  Within a few moments he had came out with a box and set it on the glass table.  "Regina has to be careful, she knows the price for this candle a life for a life." He said taking the candle out of the box "Tell her this candle is a very dangerous thing, light both ends hold it over the person and whisper their name then it will bring back the person you wanna save, but kill the person you have whispered their name"  You furrowed your eyebrows Who was Regina trying to kill and who was and trying to save. You reached for the candle but Rumple pulled it away "Tell Regina she owes me a favor, this one is not free." He said putting the candle inside the box and handing it to you. You took the box into your hands and disappeared to Regina.

You ended up in the woods and looked around, "Regina I have what you want! now come out!" you had shouted, it was a few moments later until Regina came and appeared in front of you. "No need to be loud dear." She said smirking. "Now give me the candle." You walked up to her slowly and handed her the box. "There, I don't know what you could possibly want that candle for but I don't want any part in it, now give me back my dagger and leave both me and Killian alone." Regina just chuckled "Oh did you think you were going to get everything so easily? No, we're not done. See you're going to help me enact a curse, this curse will be more powerful than the first dear, you see this curse will undo everything as if nothing ever happened no Storybrooke, no David and Snow and certainly no Killian Jones, and with this candle I have the power to kill precious snow-white, making sure she never gets her happy ending. No one will be happy if I can't be happy." You clenched your fists and furrowed your eyebrows "You're not going to get away with this Regina! you won't succeed!", Regina just laughed "And who's going to stop me? you? I have to laugh. I'll see you soon dear." Regina said as she vanished in her purple cloud of smoke.

You tried to fight the tears, if Regina said what she was going to do was true that means everything that Mary and David had fought for would be for nothing, their story would be forever lost, and that moment you and Killian had met it wouldn't be there, no one would know each other and they would be forced to start over as if nothing or no curse was ever enacted. Your body froze, standing there still in the middle of the woods. All hope had been lost for you. "Y/n?" Hearing that voice made your body move again, you turned around to see Killian with his tired eyes right on you. You hugged him tightly and kissed his lips as if it was the last kiss you two would share.
