Dark Hearts | Once Upon A Time

XXXiX. The Evil Queens Plan

Storybrooke. Present day.

JACLYN STRUGGLED AGAINST the rope that bind her wrist together as the black bag that had been placed on her head to stop her from seeing where she was but as soon as it was taken off the pirate's head and she saw herself in the confines of the clock tower that looked over the city of Storybrooke and looked over to a balding man that looked like he he was in his thirties and a woman who had caramel brown skin and long dark brown hair and smirked at them "Is this supposed to be some kind of torture? Because I've spent enough time below deck to not be afraid of the dark"

"If you want us to squeal your going to have to try harder" Killian adds winking at the woman

"Torture you?" The man says crossing his arms over his chest and scowling at Killian, why Jaclyn didn't know but she simply didn't care all she wanted to do was escape from the rope binds and go back to her ship, the Black Pearl and get back to her life her piracy but like every time she just wants to get back to her life something always seems to stop her like the time she had to fight the cursed pirate captain Barbossa or get dragged into the adventures of Will Turner and the lovely lady Elizabeth Swan (long before she met Killian Jones but that is a story for another time) "No, we want to offer you a job?"

"Oh and then you're going to let me go?" Killian asks before chuckling darkly

"Yeah no thanks I only work for myself" Jaclyn remarks declining the offer as she only wanted to get back to her simple life of piracy. Now that Rumplestilkskin was dead, Killian could move on and the two could go back to the simple life of piracy that Jaclyn had always wanted, but a pulling in her gut told her that it wasn't going to happen

"Besides we already killed Rumplestilkskin. I'm sated. Replete. My life purpose met" Killian grounds out, his jaw clenched in anger as he remembered the way his lover's heart was ripped from chest and crushed before it turned to dust as if it meant nothing as if it was nothing and Jaclyn herself closed her eyes for a minute thinking back to a time where Killian wasn't so hell bent on destroying the crocodile's life and was actually quite a soft person (even though he a pirate and still battling his demons he wasn't as cruel and malicious)

"I wish I could have been there to see you stab the dark one" The woman smirked

"Well look who's all caught up" Jaclyn remarked

"I'm a quick leaner" The woman snapped, not impressed by the comment

"Well then you know our work here is done" Killian interjected with a small smile on his face that makes him look very smug and that's probably why he misses the balding man raising his eyebrows but Jaclyn doesn't and a sinking feeling starts in the bottom stomach and she had a bad feeling that something was very wrong

"Yeah I don't think so" He replies to them "Take a look"

The two of them drag Killian over to the shattered glass of the clock tower and the woman shoves a telescope which Killian snatched out of her hands and looked through the eyepiece which after a minute he almost growled like an animal "No, no"

"He's back then hey?" Jaclyn seethes through her teeth. Once again the crocodile had found a loophole which managed to trick Death and keep it's icy fingers off of him and Jaclyn could only feel anger towards the man who continued to take every thing from Killian and this time it was his peace and freedom

Storybrooke. Present day.

"Are you sure we should do this Lian?" Jaclyn asked once again as she glances over at her friend under her leather hat an uneasiness behind her eyes ask she didn't really like this plan but she didn't know what else to offer
