Kill Me or Kiss Me: Chapter 1

Like an angel, a now dark angel, she ascended to the heavens.

My angel.

My love.

My Swan.

He fell to his knees, praying to every deity that he had ever encountered in his travels with only one thought running through his mind: "Come back to me. I love you too."

He had spent over 200 years tracking down the Dark One. If need be he would spend another 200 years doing just that, he vowed to himself. This time instead of seeking to kill the Dark One, he would seek to kiss her. She loved him. He loved her. They hadn't kissed since the return from Issac's world, and he can't help but wonder whether that was because she believed, that not only she loved him, but she might also believe that their love wasn't just ordinary… but true... and powerful enough that it should be saved for a special moment.

Aye, it was truer than the blue of the ocean he thought.

Looking to the sky and ignoring the cries and gasps of friends and family he drew in a breath and made an oath to all those that could hear him and beyond.

"You are mine Swan! And I am yours! I will always find you! You are my happy ending. You are my true love and I know you know that." Killian didn't notice that Charming and Snow started to approach him, but he continued to shout to the sky. "I am a patient man, and you know why? Because I have belief. Belief in us! I will find you; and I will free you my love."

He felt his connection to her take over him and surge through his veins. He snatched up the dagger. There was no time to waste. He would set sail within the hour. He looked to the group before him.

"She is out there. I am going to find her."

A/N: I am heart broken by the finale. Selfishly I have been going through a lot in my personal life lately and OUAT is one of my escapes. I needed a happy ending, and not more angst. I know, I know… where would the show be without angst with CaptainSwan?…happy?... but I really needed a happy ending like the end of Season 3. I live in hope of true love's kiss solving this mess, and base this on the idea that Killian and Emma didn't kiss once since she realized she loved him too.

I will try to link this beginning to my other story One Step Back, One Step Forward that hopefully I will make some progress on this month as my life starts to calm down a bit from personal family emergency; and link it into this one, but with the Season Finale I just had to toss this out there.
