The Princess and the Pirate

by queenofthefallenfics

When Killian wakes up in the Underworld, he meets a girl who swears to get him out and back home. But when gods play with mortals, everything changes. When Killian gets a choice, he needs to decide-can he really trust the girl or will he try to leave on his own? He must make a choice, not knowing that Emma and Co are making their way to try and rescue him. Not 5x12 compliant.

1. Chapter 1

Killian shouted out in pain as the sword was driven into his chest. He thought that because his hand was cut off, he might've been able to handle the pain, but he was so wrong. So wrong. He gasped and the burning in his torso worsened. He tried to remember the sensation of Emma's lips on his, but it was fading away, just like his life was, like the darkness was.

Killian took another breath.

There was a white glow, then Emma's hair lost its whiteness and she was wearing her red leather jacket again. Then she pulled the sword out. The metal was gleaming with his blood, then it started to melt away, the blood and the liquid metal falling onto the ground, intertwined with each other.

Killian took another breath.

The burning in his stomach doubled as a new cut opened, the one on his neck. The one that started everything. He let out a cry, one he had been biting back, but it slipped out and the guilt and pain in Emma's eyes cut deeper than any blade ever could. His legs wobbled and as he started to fall forward, Emma ran to catch him.

Killian took another breath.

The blood was starting to choke him, he could feel it as he coughed, sending more waves of fire through his body. Emma's teardrops were falling on his face and he wished he could say something, anything.

Killian took another breath.

Everything was turning black, he parted his lips to try and say something again. But instead a salty tear slipped in his open mouth. He could feel the sobs as they wracked Emma's body, jolting his body painful.

I love you.

Killian took his last breath.

We're all braver than we think, if we just look deep enough.

A/N- Alright, so the mid-season finale was terrible. I cried, that's how bad it was. And then I came up with this story. So the first few chapters will be small, but they will get larger as the story continues. The main OC character will be introduced in the next chapter, but their name won't come up til the third. I hope you continue to read, I will aim to have this done before OUAT starts up again in the spring. Thanks and please review!
