I'm so sorry for the really late update. I just had a complete block in this story, unsure of what to do since I don't actually plan my stories - I just keeping writing whatever comes to my mind. Plus, people on tumblr have been given me smutty prompts so ya.

Btw, I have started the CS One Shots so do send me any prompts - fluff, smut, angst anything! Don't be shy!

Chapter 4

David pushed the thief in front of him. He had spent so much time tracking the Dark One's schedule in order to be sure when to enter his shop to steal some money when another thief had just run out clutching it.

He sat on the thief and turned it's head around, and gasped as a beautiful girl as white as snow stared back at him.

"You're a girl" David said, confused.

"Woman" Snow replied, clutching the rock beside her and smacked David's head who fell backwards, touching the bleeding spot on his chin.

Snow got up and ran and the last thing she heard was the man yelling, "I WILL FIND YOU!"

Killian bumped into a woman running towards him and grabbed her as a man was running behind her yelling "thief". David stopped in front of Snow and grabbed her shoulders, "I told you, I'd find you. No matter what you do, I will always find you".

Snow tried to clutch out of his hold while David brought his hands behind her back, pushing her towards him. Frustrated Snow spoke, "Is this the only way you can capture a woman? By entrapping her?"

"It's the only way to catch a thief" David replied.

Snow sighed, "Please just let me go. I have a little baby at home"

David blinked and loosened his hold on her, "You have a child?"

"Yes" Snow said and raised her eyebrow as David stepped back and extended his arm, indicating her to go.

Ignoring the two thieves, Killian rushed back to his ship, trying to get the hell out of this place as fast as possible.

He jumped on his ship taking the wheel in his hand, shouting orders at his crew men. He turned around and was faced by the most beautiful yet tarrying sight in the world: Emma Swan.

"And where may you be going Captain?" Emma seethed.

Killian clenched his jaw, accepting the fact that this woman is going to kill him. Emma flicked her fingers and the compass was in her hand. She looked at it and grinned.

"My son and I will leave tonight for the Enchanted Forest. I'm done with you" Emma said, and turned around to leave.

"WAIT" Killian shouted, "You and I, we understand each other. Look out for ourselves and we'll never get hurt"

Emma blinked at him. "What makes you think we understand each other?"

"Your eyes" Killian replied, "It's all a mask – your evilness and uncaring nature. Truth is you are an orphan. A lost girl. And then once you found love, he betrayed you. So you put up your walls and hide behind your cruelness. But till when?"

Emma shivered. No one – no one had read behind her evil nature. Everyone was just scared of her but no one saw the hurt and loneliness behind her green eyes and this man whom she had known for a couple of hours had not only figured that out but also had the courage to tell her so.

"Well it has worked for me" Emma replied, too tired to refute his claims of her being a lost girl.

"Yes until the day that it doesn't. So you can give me that compass and be a part of something or you can do what you do best and be alone" Killian stated, his heart beating fast. She was either going to agree or (and the more probable option) kill him.

But it surprised him when he saw the mask of her face slip away and a sad little smile tug her lips. Emma nodded at him, "We set sail tonight Captain"

Completely shocked by the turn of events, Killian couldn't help himself but blurt out, "I thought you only cared about yourself"

Before vanishing into thin air, Emma looked him straight in the eye and replied, "Maybe I just needed reminding that I could".
