Emma's eyes bored into his, staring into the depths of his soul. Her eyes held more than words could say, begging him to save her family.
His fingers reached into the pocket of his leather jacket, where the final drops of squid ink were, contained in a vile.
He threw it at Nimue, and she stopped short, her magical grip on Emma's throat was released.
Emma fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Why are you doing this?" She asked him, recovering her breath.
"Because, Swan, I love you." He answered, plainly and simply, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Killian used his magic to absorb the darkness into his body,
Trembling, he turned to Emma and gave her Excalibur.
"Love, I knew you wouldn't let me die so easily." He groaned from the pain of the darkness, and hurting the one he loved most.
"You needed a push, and I gave you one. Please, let me die to save your family."
Emma was shaking hard. "Killian I love you."
He smiled, and didn't hesitate to return her words. "And I love you."
She kissed him passionately for the last time.
As she pulled away, she looked deep into the ocean blue eyes of the man she loved before plunging Excalibur into his heart.
She caught him as he fell, wweeping bitterly as he cried out in pain. She loved him so much, only to watch him die again and again.
"I will find you Killian, I will always find you."
He smiled and drew his last breath, dying in her arms.
I wrote this because THE FEELS in the mid season finale! I can't wait until March! I hope you enjoyed this one-shot, and yes, I know it was depressing. I'm just that kind of writer, sorry.
