~Chapter 1~

Emma's POV

Slowly opening her eyes Emma felt around her. However instead of feeling her soft and comfortable bed she felt… sand? Now really opening her eyes she looked around her. She seemed to be on a beach.. how in the world did she get here? Trying to stand up seemed more difficult than ever and she was now only seeing the simple sheet that was supposed to cover up her body.

"Well.. at least I'm not naked" she thought. Holding on to the rock on her right she tried to steady herself on her feet. Where the hell was she and why did it seem she was walking for the first time in her life. She went to sit on the large rock she was holding herself onto and took the time to really orientate where she could be. She was on a beach that much was clear, the waves gently crashing on the shore made the loveliest sound. Further almost all she could see was sand and rocks. On the beach however laid what seems to be the remnants of a ship. This brought her mind into overload… where was Killian? He was snoring softly next to her before she ended up here, would he be here as well? And her parents and Henry? Too lost in her thoughts she was suddenly startled by a dog barking nearby. Looking around her she saw the dog who was happily running her way. Never having seen the dog before she kept her place high and safe on the rock. The dog, a black Labrador was excitedly jumping up and down against the rock while barking. Emma kept her distance and hoped he would soon go away. She loved dogs, she really did, but she did not know who this dog belonged to or where he came from so she kept her distance.

"Buckley, Buckley where are you boy!" she heard a voice in the distance and the dog began to bark even more excitedly.

"Buckley!" the voice was suddenly a lot closer and the dog, whose name apparently was Buckley, ran away in the direction of the voice. Emma could not hear the voice very clearly but is seemed familiar. Not a moment later the dog came back, still barking happily.

"Wait up Buckley… where are you going" the voice was really close and when she looked up she saw him. He came walking from around a corner of rocks, he looked very different but she could recognize his handsome features from miles away. Walking towards her was her one true love, Killian Jones.

"What has gotten into you mate…" the dog excitedly ran to the rock where Emma was sitting on.

"Oh.. I see" Killian came walking towards her and she saw the shock and awe plastered on his face. Buckley was still barking excitedly towards her.

"Quiet Buckley…" he then turned his head towards her.

"I'm really sorry if my dog scared you Miss.. he can be a handful sometimes" he laughed at her shyly and went to scratch behind his ear. Emma knew that was one of the things he always did when he was nervous. What worried her more was the fact that he did not seem to recognize her in any way. Buckley jumped up at her again and Killian went to stop him, positioning his face very close to Emma's.

"So uhm…I…. Have we met before?" he looked at her questioningly, his big blue eyes focused on hers. Emma felt the excitement creep upon her, he did recognize her! She shook her head yes excitedly.

"We have?! I knew it! You are the one I have been looking for" he had grabbed her hands and was holding them close to his chest. The excitement clearly present on his face.

"What is your name?" he asked and Emma went to tell him but when she opened her mouth and tried to speak no sound could be heard. Getting frustrated she tried it again and again even yelling her name in her head but it was to no use. Her head dropped down in disappointment.

"Hey.. what's wrong?" Killian asked while still looking at her. Emma motioned to her throat and she saw the disappointment on his face now as well.

"You cannot speak?" he asked her in a quiet voice and she shook her head no.

"Oh… then you could not be who I thought you were" his head dropped slightly and so did hers. He was still holding her hands and suddenly Emma came to an idea, she maybe could not speak but she could try to describe it with her hands. Making quickly work she started but Killian did not seem to understand her.

"Hey, hey it is okay… you're safe… you must have really been through something" he looked at her concerned. It hurt her heart to see him look at her like that. It reminded her of the time she was trapped in the ice wall or when she had turned herself in the Dark One… She hated it when he was concerned about her but it also made her feel loved and she knew that if this Killian was concerned about her not everything would be lost. She nodded slowly, looking down as she felt a tear escape her eyes.

"It's okay… I'll help you" he held onto her arms, helping her off the rock. Wobbling a bit Emma remembered that walking was still kind of a struggle for her and Killian soon caught on. Wrapping an arm under her arm and around her torso to hold her steady.

"There we go miss.. come I'll take you to the palace.. you'll be safe there"
