Killian burst through the door only to find Emma strapped to a chair, her head slumped forwards with her hair covering her face. He ran to her stopping dead in his tracks before kneeling down in front of her.
"Emma!" his voice desperate for any sign that she was okay.
"Killian!" Emma's he snapped up hearing him speak her name. As her head came up she saw a figure come from behind him. A sudden realization hit her like a tone of brick. This is what they wanted! They wanted him to find me! Her words came flying out her mouth in seconds.
"Killian Behind You!" by the time he had turned his head, Neal hit him over the head, knocking him to the floor.
"KILLIAN!" Emma let out a cry of desperation as he fell to the floor in a heap. As she looked up at Neal she was met by a loud snack to her right side of her face, knocking her out completely. Killian could feel his strength returning. As he opened his eyes only to come face to face with a knocked out Emma. A fresh cut on her lip. His chest constricted at the sight of her. By the looks of it who ever brought her here had been torturing her, rigorously.
"Swan? Wake up please?" he spoke breathlessly. He had to get her out of here.
"Killian?" Emma was jolted awake by his voice. She looked up to see concern wash over Killian's face.
"What are you doing here?" her voice laced over with the same amount of concern. He should have stayed away. Who knows what they would do to him. "Saving you, Swan." He said in an exasperated tone, as if she really needed to ask. A devilish smirk tugging at his lips as he raised an eye brown lifting his hands at the same time.
"Good job." A smile cracked Emma's face only to wince in pain as the started to bleed again, blood trickling down her chin only to drip onto her shirt. A wave of concern washed over Killian as he watched the blood make its way down her chin. He so desperately wanted to wipe away any trace of that blood, just like he did with her tears back in the Enchanted Forest when she saw her mother after they both watched in horror as Regina burnt Snow at the stake. He wanted to hold her and tell her that they were going to get out of this.
"So tell me, Love." Killian forced a smile across his face to mask his concern. There was no point of being concerned when there was nothing he could do about it.
"What are we up against this time? Giant snakes, Dinosaurs?" Killian raised an eyebrow causing Emma to giggle a little. Light shining behind her eyes again.
"Oh, better yet. A vengeful ex-lover. I would love a chance to cream whatever other man broke your heart." There was something behind his eyes when he spoke those words. Emma could see a mixture of rage and excitement at the very thought of an ex-lover. She was about to speak before her eyes fell on the door. A look of pure shock and horror saturated her eyes and face, Killian saw it immediately but wasn't able to turn to the door to see what was going on. "You spoke to soon…" Emma's voice was shaking, her body convulsed as a shiver made its way down her spine. Killian could see she was visibly shaking, and violently so.
"Emma? What's wrong?" He couldn't tell whether she was angry or terrified. He lunged towards her trying to break free in that instant. Something that paralyzed her with this much fear. He had to get free. Whatever was about to happen he knew he needed to be free in order to protect her. Everything screamed inside him.
"Don't bother, Hook. We made sure that even you couldn't get lose. Even one as talented as you." Killian instantly recognized that voice. An overwhelming sense of dread and fear crept into his chest. How could he do this to her? She had denied him already. What could he possibly gain from doing this?
"Neal… Walsh…" Emma's voice was barely audible Killian had to strain to hear the last name. But when heard it he was seething. He knew Neal was there, but to have Walsh here as well, this was getting out of hand quicker than Killian thought. He knew that he could defend Emma from Neal. After all he had taught him everything he know about fighting. But Walsh? Killian wasn't expecting him at all. Regardless of this new development he would protect Emma to his dying breathe. Listening to the footsteps getting closer to them, Killian strained against his bindings seeing Emma shrink further into her chair. He could visibly see her fear. Nothing is going to happen, to her if Killian had his way.
"There, there Emma. Don't worry we are just going to have a long heart to heart chat." Neal said walking up to Emma, stretching out his hand to touch her face.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!" Killian lunged at Neal seeing Emma flinch away from his touch. Neal turned on this heels to stare at Killian
"Oh, look at that, Emma. He thinks on some sort of level that what he says will stop me from doing this." Neal finish his sentence with a quick turn to Emma and an excruciating slap across her face. She let out a cry of pain. Causing Killian to flinch and scream her name. Neal stepped back to reveal a slumped over Emma. Killian desperately looked for any sign that she was okay. "Emma?!" His voice cracked as he saw her nod weakly. She lifted her face to make eye contact with him. His face had concern and worry written all over it.
"I'm okay." She inhaled sharply trying to comfort Killian, and give him some sort of reassurance. She then shot a horrible glare at Neal.
"How brave you must be, to hit a girl while she is still tied up." She lunged at Neal almost knocking herself out of her chair. Killian half chuckled to himself at the level of guts she had to spit those words of cowardice at her assailant. He had to give her credit for her bravery, regardless of whether she was at Neal's mercy or not
"Oh so you are asking for a chance to defend yourself. Your wish is my command." In seconds he had cut Emma from the chair grabbing a chunk of her hair and dragging her to a nearby room to the left of Killian. Emma winced as Neal grabbed her hair. But tried to make her way to the room with him, occasionally tripping along the way. "No! Leave her alone! Please" Killian begged as he watched helplessly as Walsh followed close behind them. "NEAL! DON'T DO THIS!" Killian yelled after him as he watched him toss Emma into the room. The last thing he saw before the door slammed in his face, was Emma's panicked face as she realized she had to deal with both Walsh and Neal.
"Killian!" Emma screamed as the door slammed shut. Her eye never leaving the door only to hear his panicked call back to her.
"Swan!" He desperately screamed. Dreading what was going to come next. He had to get free. Who knows what kinds of things they are going to do to her.
