No Way Home

Chapter 4: Where Are We?

Emma's POV

I hit the ground with a thump. Before I even had time to lift my head up I heard something else fall. I lifted up my head and saw Killian laying on the floor next to me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I came to save you!" He says.

"But what about Hope?" I say starting to get annoyed.

"She is with Henry. Where are we?"

"I don't know, but we need to work out where we are." We had landed in the middle of a forest. Just then I saw a carriage go past. Someone got out of it in a very fancy dark blue dress. They started speaking, I tried to get a bit closer to hear what they were saying.

"How much longer must I sit in this for?"

"Its just short of an hour to the Kings palace."

"That's good because I can't wait to get there and see Francis."

I looked at Killian at the mention of the name. He looked at me confused for a second, and then his face changed to concern.

"Swan, I think I may know where we are."

"Ok."

"More importantly when. Remember the book we were reading earlier. Well after you said that you wanted to go to France I started thinking about taking you there, but I wasn't intending to go back in time."

"Well this is great isn't it." I say getting really annoyed. "We are in France in the middle of the 15th century with no way home."

"Swan what about your magic?" He asks.

"Well it might work but I still need a wand like I needed for the other time portal."

"We can see if we can find one then. In the meantime maybe you could try hanging our clothes because I'm not sure that we will be able to blend in in what we are wearing."

"Ok." I wave my hand and immediately I am in a light pink long sleeved gown, Killian is wearing a dark blue fancy outfit that looked really good on him. "The person in the carriage said they were going to the castle so maybe we should go there too. They might be able to help us."

I try to magic us there but nothing happens.

"Why isn't it working. My magic just worked."

"I don't know, love. But maybe we will just have to go on foot. It can't be that far away."

Killian's POV

We started walking in the direction that the carriage had gone. I pulled Emma close as we walked not wanting to be separated ever again.

We walked in silence neither of us quite sure what to say, both of us wanting to get home.

After walking for what felt like forever we turned a bend to see a magnificent huge castle right by the sea.

"I think that's it love." I say to Emma.

"I think so too" she answers.

We walk up towards the gate, which has guards on either side.

"Why do you come here?" One of them asks.

"We come to see King Francis. I am his distant cousin Princess Leia and this is my husband Prince Charles. Our carriage was lost so we had to walk." Emma explains.

"I had no knowledge that anyone by those names were coming." The guard says.

"It was a surprise trip. They didn't know that we were coming so that we could surprise them." I say, hoping to make it sound believable.

"Very well then. In you come." The guard says opening the gate.

We walk into a beautiful courtyard. Some guards come with us, escorting us inside. We walk until we reach what I assume is the throne room. There someone is sitting on a throne in I vast room, with a woman sat next to him. The guard introduces us.

"Your Majesty, Prince Charles and Princess Leia."

I bow as Emma starts to curtsy.

"Your Majesty, me and my husband have traveled a long way. Our carriage broke down and all of our luggage was lost."

"Oh, that is bad. Why don't you stay here for a few days while we sort something out."

"Thank you so much Your Majesty, your graciousness is deeply appreciated." Emma says.

"Yes, well I will have someone escort you to your chambers."

We were about to walk away when the woman sitting next to him wispered in his ear. He turned around and said,

"Actually my wife would like to escort you personally."

"Thank you Your Majesties."

The woman then got up and walked down the steps to where we were standing. It dawned on me that this must be the wife that the book mentioned earlier, Mary Queen of Scots.

She started walking out of the room and we followed her.

Mary's POV

Something was up with these visitors. I knew it. I had never heard of a Princess Leia before and I was curious. I had Francis let me take them to their chambers because I wanted to get some answers.

We walked in silence the two of them behind me. Their clothes didn't look like they had been in an accident which made me believe that they were not telling the truth.

We got to the room that they would be staying in. I opened the door for them and led them inside.

"Here you go. I hope you will find them big enough. There aren't many rooms left because we have a lot of people here currently."

"They are perfectly fine" Princess Leia says.

"I will have someone come to bring you some clothes as well seeing as you don't have any."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"Well I will get someone up right away. There is a feast this evening so I will get downing for each of you for that as well."

"That would be delightful, we owe you a lot"

"Maybe we can chat later, then I can get to know you."

"It would be an honour Your Majesty."

With that I said goodbye and walked out of the room.
