Seeing Things in a Whole New Light
It all happened in a flash, one second a glowing ball of Zelena's magic was flying towards her- and in the next Killian had shoved her out of the way and he now lay on the ground in a heap. Emma sat still, in shock as the battle wore on all around her. It looked like their side was winning. She got up and crawled towards Killian's crumpled form, "…..Killian?". She said his name like a question, and her eyes began to swim with tears. "Killian? Killian please, wake up!" her voice grew fevered and frantic. She shook him gently, "Killian, come on get up!". Her pleas fell upon deaf ears; he wasn't waking up and showed no response whatsoever. His eyes were shut, and his breathing slowed- he'd been struck by a sleeping curse.
Emma tried to pull herself together, wiping the tears off of her face and taking deep breaths. She sat next to Killian, holding his good hand in her own shaking hands. He was gone. Never again would her flirt with his handsome smile and lilting voice. No more innuendos or small, heartfelt speeches that filled her stomach with butterflies. And she never got to tell him that she saw the good person that he was, the hero that he had become. And she'd never be able to tell him… that she loved him. She'd realized it too late, and had held back for fear of him getting too close. She felt as if an icicle had pierced through her heart.
But wait; there was one last option… true love's kiss. He'd tried it on her in New York, but she hadn't remembered him. Maybe now that she remembered who he was, who she was…. She leaned down and caressed his stubbly cheek with her hand. He looked so young, and at peace. Tears dripped down her cheeks, and she leaned closer. "I love you Killian." she whispered as she lowered her lips to his.
She pulled back, her eyes searching for any sign of movement. Suddenly he gasped a breath, eyes shooting open. He looked up at her, his face filled with an expression of awe. "You saved me." he said- his voice breathy and full of surprise. Tears of joy now rolled down her face, "You would have done the same." she said with a smile. He smiled too, his eyes bright with excitement, "Yes, I most definitely would have.". Killian reached up, and wiped the tears from her face, "You are a bloody brilliant woman. Emma Swan, I love….". She cut him off with a kiss, sealing his lips to hers. She pulled back slightly and murmured, "Don't you ever forget it." before being pulled into another kiss.
