Change is Coming (2)

A Twisted Fairytale

(Emma)

Night had fallen. The darkness crept onto the town oddly early. The people fell into silence as the light faded. The fears of tomorrow surround us. Nightmares hanging in the air. Not a pleasant thought anywhere to be found.

I was laying on the makeshift bed in the living room of the cabin. No lights lit in the whole place. My parents were in the kitchen grimly making a cup of evening tea to calm their souls. The light noises they caused were blended together and muffled in my ears. I knew the sounds were there, but I did not bother to hear them.

My thoughts were perhaps the most sorrowful of the town. I had given up on even thinking thoughts at all. My last days would be spent here. Awaiting the death that I faced. Perhaps if my family were dying with me I would be determined to fight. To fight so I could save them. But maybe that is why I face this death so profoundly. I am the only one in death's reach. Because without my love there will be nothing for me to live for. No way for me to survive. The savior dies. What a twisted fairytale.

There was but one person I longed for at this moment. He was just a few steps down the hall. But in this twisted fairytale the princess cannot reach her true love on her own. She hasn't even the power to walk the few feet to him.

Her strength had been drained; no way to call out for him in these last moments.

He is haunting my thoughts. His sapphire eyes. The brightest hue possible, contrasting the night black hair on top. Perhaps brown, but so dark it reminded me of midnight. His eyes the stars. His hair the sky. And he the only thing that holds me to this earth.

The longing I have for him has grown just from the thought of him. My heart works quicker then my brain.
"Killian." I call weakly.

Someone was coming down the steps. I could only see the silhouette. My mind subconsciously knew it was Henry. He heard my calls and rushed around the corner into the same room as my love.

Henry was worried, he still had the hope I would live. I was not going to crush that hope, but I could not hold it myself.

My eyes adjusted to the sight above me. Since I was laying down on my back I could barely see them. But they were there. My mother was crying into my fathers chest. She was saddened at the sight of me, so weakly lying here. And so desperate for my love.

My hearts wish was granted. He came around the corner. Just the slight sight of him showed me the deep sorrow that was resting in his heart. He had dark circles under his eyes like he had been driving himself mad with thought. But he came to me with no hesitation and held me in his arms as if we had been separated for centuries.

My dad walked towards Henry and motioned him to let us have this time. They walked down the hall, but Mom stayed. She dried her tears and slowly cams to us sniffling. "You two can sleep in the extra guest bedroom. David and I are fine with it now." She said more to him then me.

He nodded his thanks and she walked away, tears dripping down her face. Killian held me carefully in his lap. His arms cradling my hip as gently as he could. He stood up and lifted me, holding me on his chest. He kissed my forehead and carried me down the opposite hall and into the spare bedroom. I tentatively placed my arms around his neck, laying onto his shoulder. He lets my feet slip gently. Both of them straight down. He holds me by my thighs, careful not to hurt my back.

His good hand holds me up while he uses the hook to pull the covers open. Then he lays us both down and gently covers us with the protecting blankets, putting us in our own world.

My arms still around his neck, my head tucked into the crook of his shoulder. His arms around my lower back gently. He moves his head back, so that my forehead rests on his, noises touching. His eyes saddened and serious in the same moment.

"I love you." He says with no doubt or hesitation. This is the first time these words had been uttered in our relationship. Even though we discovered our true love weeks ago.

I look into his eyes. They shine even with his sorrow. "Killian- I love you so much- but.. we can't.." I am unable to finish the sentence. He puts a finger to my lips and keeps me silent.

"Promise me." He says boldly. "Promise me that you will fight to stay alive until I find you. That after the curse hits you'll become the fearless Swan that I know you are." He says strongly. I know Killian. Right now he may seem fearless but on the inside he is exploding with fear and sorrow. He cannot lose me, as I cannot lose him.

During my thoughts I looked down, unable to meet his shining eyes. He leans close to me and softly meets his lips to mine, clearing my thoughts, then pulls back and looks into my eyes.

"We deserve our happy ending. Promise me you will fight to get it?" His voice shakes causing me to gaze up at his face. His once strong eyes, now filled with tears. His face finally has worn out from the false fearless smirk he wore all day. Because he worries about me. He truly loves me. And I love him. Emma Swan, you have found true love and your ready to die and give it up. You are so selfish; if you die imagine the hurt you would cause Killian.

I take his arm and place it behind my head, embracing him. "I promise." His gaze meets mine. "We just have to make it through the first days of this curse," my voice is the one shaking now, "and then we will be together."

"I want to spend all the time I have left with you." He whispers with closed eyes. My forehead meets his. I hug him tightly. The tears fall down both our faces, mixing together.

We lay in each other's arms. My back throbs but I will not let a stupid injury stand between my love and I.

For a long time neither one of us dates to speak. Afraid that we will lose our newfound strength. But my thoughts drive me mad.

"This is all my fault." My voice breaks out louder then I meant. He lays my head on his chest protectively and puts a hand behind my head in my hair. "Shhh. Love it's not your fault." He says.

"If I would have just accepted my feelings on that bloody beanstalk both of us would have suffered less heartbreak." I cry. "I'm sorry Killian. I've loved you for a long time and I did nothing about it."

He lightly caresses my check with his hand. "As I've said before, my love, I am in this for the long haul. We will find each other and we will get our happy ending together. Will miss you?" A single tear rolls down his cheek and hangs on the edge. I watch it fall, pushed by the tears that follow it. All of them spilling onto the pillow. "Of course my dear. With all my aching heart I will long for you."
His voice staggers like a man facing his worst nightmare staggers with fear.

Cold tears roll down my face as I lean into his open armed embrace. He holds me as close to him as possible and memorizes every part of me. I hold his hand and hold his face in my other hand. I place light kisses just under his ear, thinking about our future. We do have a future, a good one.

I'm ready to fight for it.
