The Princess and The Pirate

The Necklace

Emma's POV

My eyes snapped open and I grew aware of the pain in my head. I tried to put my hand to my head but I was held down by chains. I realised that blood was flowing from my head. I needed to get out of here. I needed to get back to Killian. I closed my eyes and imagined myself appearing by Killian. I heard someone laugh and I opened my eyes. Victoria was sitting across the dark room, smirking to herself. 

"Don't try to use magic. You won't be able to. I made sure of that." she said, signalling to a cuff on my wrist. "It disables your magic." she laughed. I growled. 

"Did you just growl at me? What are you? A bear?" she mocked. I'd only spent about a minute with her but I already wanted to destroy her. 

"You know I don't get why Killian likes you. I just see an ugly, rude, dumb brat. Maybe he doesn't love you. Maybe he's just using you." she says. 

I close my eyes and try to ignore her cruel remarks. I know Killian loves me and I know he thinks the world of him. I know that we are going to spend the rest of our lives together. And that one day he will replace his brother's ring with an engagement ring. My hand goes to my neck and I'm filled with relief as I feel it. I need to keep this safe. It reminds me of Killian. And I might not ever see him again. I bite my lip and swallow to try and stop myself from crying. I wish I was in his arms right now. Why are we always apart? 

"Gonna cry?" Victoria mocked. 

"Don't worry you'll see your precious pirate very soon." My head snapped upwards and I was filled with dread and worry. 

"What do you mean?" I stammered. She smirked. "Why on earth would I tell you that?" she snapped. What was she going to do to Killian? And I couldn't help or protect him. I couldn't lose him. This is what I was worried would happen. We were supposed to get our happy ending. Now, that plan was ruined. An image of Killian's dead body flashed into my mind. It made me want to scream. 

"But, before Hook arrives, we can have some fun." she said, smiling creepily. She pulled out a small knife and raised it up. 

Killian's POV

I paced up and down me and Emma's room, running a hand through my hair. Where the hell was David and Snow? How long does it get to a magical bottle that will help us find Emma? I said that we had to do this plan no matter what the cost. But, I didn't think the cost would be loosing my Swan. I didn't mind if I died but if my Swan died. Because of me. I don't know what I would do. I should've listened to her. We should've just stayed at home. If we did, Emma would be with me now. We could've been talking about our future. We could've been kissing. We could've been doing so much. But now we're separated again. Why won't the universe just let us be together?

"Here it is." David says, passing me the bottle. Snow held Emma's red leather jacket and I was about to pour the liquid on the jacket, when a bird flew through the window. Snow ran to it and it landed on her shoulder. She passed me the note it was holding. I furrowed my brow. I saw that it was addressed to me. It read:

Hook, 

If you ever want to see your precious girlfriend again, come to this address at 12 AM tonight. Come alone and unarmed. If you don't come, I will kill Emma and I will make sure it is slow and painful. See you then.

-Victoria

I growl and check the address on the letter. I scrunch the letter up and throw it across the wall. She's threatening my Swan. How could I let this happen? It's all my fault. But, I will make up for it. I will save her. No matter what it takes. 

"What did it say?" David asks, furrowing his brow. "I need to meet Victoria or she'll kill Emma." Snow moaned and her hand went to her mouth. David wrapped his arms around her.
