Prologue
"Henry…Henry please."
Emma Swan was looking at her two year old son, collapsed on the floor with the tiniest piece of apple lodged in the back of his throat. Regina came running into the room, at first with rage in her eyes, but then fearfulness as she saw her child unconscious son on the floor. When she saw what was wrong, she waved her hand and the fruit that had previously lodged in his throat disappeared.
But the boy still wasn't breathing.
"Henry?" Emma whispered, clutching the boy tearfully. "Please come back to me…"
With her right hand, she found the toddlers sternum and began short compressions, while Regina yelled desperately at someone on the phone. A minute later, Henry was still unconscious.
"What did he eat, Emma?" Regina looked at her wide-eyed, covering the phone handset as Emma said, "Just a little bit of apple – just –"
The phone clattered on the tiled floor.
It was followed by Regina's body as she collapsed to her knees, burying her face in her hands. Emma didn't stop trying to bring back Henry, but she was trying on a fool's hope now. It had been too long.
Emma was working over an almost lifeless body as she pleaded with anyone, whatever gods there were in the sky, to save him. To save her precious child.
Her tears were flowing freely down her face as she leant in to give Henry a kiss on his forehead before she gave him one more breath. By this time, Emma was shaking, the full weight of the situation finally sinking in –
Until she was hit by a force field of pure white light.
Henry stirred, giving a light cough as Emma returned to look at him, wonder filling her green eyes. The minute his small face spotted her, his lips tweaked into a small smile. "Ems?"
"Henry!" She pulled him in for a hug, careful not to crush him, but she couldn't help the joyful swoop that filled her very being.
"So you did it Ms. Swan," Regina said, looking up at her, holding Henry tightly. "You broke my curse. Only a girl…barely even twenty. You broke my curse."
"I freed this town Regina," Emma said defiantly as Henry clung to her shirt. "I protected my son."
"The poison was meant for you," Regina whispered as though it was an excuse. There could have been the barest hint of regret in there if Emma was fully paying attention. But the apology never came. Instead, Regina did what she thought best, and walked out the front door, leaving Henry with his mother. The woman, who in her mind, had far beyond proven her worth.
Now Emma Swan just had to prove it to herself.
A/N: Welcome!
So, this is my first foray into CaptainSwan and it's going to be interesting I feel. So, there's gonna be some major smut scenes but not for the first few chapters. We're starting off with established Gremma and Hook/Milah, but don't worry. CaptainSwan makes an appearance very quickly.
I've basically tried to include everything I could possibly ever love about CaptainSwan AUs and threw them into one CSfic with a plotline. So there will be:
Bar/Club scenes.
Teacher/Student scenes.
Some pretty kinky sex.
DaddyKillian feels.
Killian in a band – ergo, he has hands. ;)
Emma as a badass who's hell bent on destroying someone. (OC – It's me, there had to be one in there somewhere. =P)
And everyone's younger than they are in the series! (Because, well, college).
So, I'm trying to stick as closely to the characters as possible, but because in this AU, a lot of stuff that happened, didn't happen, the characters are of course going to be a little OOC (Hopefully not too much!) This is college based with an underlying mystery. So stay tuned.
Can't wait to hear from you guys! Happy reading!
Much love,
YouSaid
