Chapter Eight

Emma moved from her spot and grabbed the book. She opened it. Looking at the pictures, not bothering to read the attached text.

"You should probably read that you know, a lot of it is about the saviour and the key," Killian said placing a hand on the book so Emma can't flip the page. Emma stared at the page not wanting Killian to look at the book anymore. He couldn't find out.

Emma looked at the page with Snow and James on it.

"The savior's sister was happy, but the saviour was broken. Nobody could help her but herself."

Emma flipped the page. It was Emma as a baby. King Leopold held her in her arms cooing over her. Emma was slackjawed.

"The saviour was born out of good and extreme Evil"

"The savior would save everyone with her magic, that is tied to her love, of herself, of her family, of her truest love. The realms are safe."

Emma didn't know what to say. It wasn't true, her magic was tied to her anger. If she was angry enough she could do almost every spell. But she had never tried doing a spell by summoning her love.

"What's wrong?" Killian asked

"I- that doesn't seem true," Emma said pressing her palms together. She closed her eyes and thought about Snow. How Snow has been there for Emma. How Emma has rejected and ridiculed and ruined almost everything of Snow's and despite all that she stayed with Emma.

A white light sprouted from Emma's hands it was brief and it didn't do much good for anything. She screamed.

"How did you learn how to use your magic before?" Killian asked and quickly added "I don't think you came out of diapers learning how to conjure fire,"

"My mother taught me, but her magic stems from anger, I don't think she could help me with this," Emma said and flipped the page. It showed an unfamiliar boy on it, playing with something near the sea.

"Well, look at that, its me," Killian smiled.

"The key was born out of luck, the people were not expecting them to be born in the same time period. But it made sense, the saviour and the key were meant to save the realms together. The key's magic stems from True Love and can only be tapped into after a True Love's Kiss."

"Does that mean-?" Killian looked right at Emma with an intensity that she couldn't face. The blue bitch said she had to keep him safe. She would, but not because he was the key. She would still have to bring him to rumpletilskin. Rumple never specifically said that she would be killing him, she just assumed that he would want her to.

Maybe he wants them to save the realms. Emma felt certain that thats what this was about. She didn't have to kill him she had to save him and bring him over and -

What if she was wrong?

Well she couldn't go around waiting for her mother to rot. It would be simple bring Killian, retrieve her mother. Save the realms. Simple enough. More or less.

"Yeah, it does," Emma said nodding "That means you have magic too," Emma said looking him down, she wasn't sure he would know how important a gift magic was.

"But I need a True Love's Kiss before it can work," Killian said looking defeated "I can't just pull True Loves out of my ass here Emma," He sounded angry. Emma wasn't sure why.

"Just kiss your brother," Emma said rolling her eyes. She scooped the book from him and flipped to the back. The pages were blank. Odd, Emma thought before shutting the book and placing it in its satchel.

"Hold this," Emma said before tossing the satchel to him. Killian caught it and held it away from him. No bloody way would anyone see him carrying a womans purse.

Emma went into the forest looking for Liam leaving Killian alone.

Killian hated thinking about his situation at the moment. Killian really want the type for self pity but at the moment he was feeling a lot of it.

He had magic? He was going to save the realms? He couldn't do that! He was just Killian, he wasn't meant for anything great.

Oh, but he was. It was prophesied. The people waited for centuries for the saviour and the key. The key? What the bloody hell isthat?

.

"So you're the key?" Liam said not catching on "and you're the saviour?"

Emma and Killian nodded.

"How come i'm not anything?"

"No, you are, your Killian's True Love, and you're gonna activate his magic," Emma said smiling at Liam. He nodded.

"Great!" Emma clapped her hands together "now kiss!"

"What?" Liam said looking appalled.

"Kiss your brother!" Emma snapped. Liam looked even more confused then before. Emma walked towards Killian, stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on his cheek.

(She ignored the flutter in her stomach.)

"See, easy,"

(Killian tried not to jump for joy.)

"Okay?" Liam closed his eyes.

"Oi! You dont have to close your eyes brother, its just a kiss on the cheek seriously mate you're making me nervous," Killian snapped at his brother, but unlike when he snapped at Emma it was calmer like he was regretting what he was saying. It was odd comparing his actions to the both of them.

Liam groaned and slapped a kiss on his brothers cheek making a show of opening his eyes. Emma sighed it didn't work.

"Now can we have a magic match princess?" Killian said wagging his eyebrows in an illegal motion. Gods it was hot on this island.

"It didn't work," Emma said shaking her head "Try again!" Emma commanded.

"Nope," Liam said throwing the shell of his coconut on the floor.

"No bloody way lass, I think its safe to say that we are not True Loves," Killian said and wiped his cheek. Killian and his brother were close, but somethings brothers don't do.

Emma closed her eyes and used the magic flowing through her to summon a piece of parchment, ink, and a quill.

"Killian bend over," Emma demanded her tone showing no room for Killian to get out of it.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you to bend over my dear?" Killian said while bending over. Emma wanted to slap him.

She wrote:

"Dear Snow White,

Snow its your sister Emma. I love you. I miss you. I took leave on a ship and now I am in another realm, Neverland. I am not alone. I miss you so much Sister. I'm sorry for what i've done to you. You've only cared for me and i've shown you no gratitude for it.

Now I must ask you for a favour, could you attach your reply to this letter with a lock your yours and James' hair? I need it for a True Love's spell. A friend of mine on the island i'm on refuses to participate in True Love's Kiss, so I am left with no option but to make a potion. Bring a bottle too. Ask Ariel to bring it to us. She owes me a favour, I beat her at poker a few months back.

I love you my sister.

Your Sister,

Emma Mills. "

Emma didn't notice she spilt ink on Killian until she was done writing.

"Oh, i'm so sorry," Emma said making the ink and quill disappear with the letter. Straight into Snows hand.

Liam chuckled.

"Little brother, you have something on your shirt," Liam chuckled "Bad from, little brother, bad form,"
