"Captain swan tlk breaking killians curse!"
She thought back to how Hook acted towards her. Avoiding her eyes, keeping his distance. He barely wanted to hold her hand. Her brows furrowed as she chewed her lip.
What was up with him? Something was wrong. She could feel it.
She was brought out of her thoughts as a knock came at the door. Her heart skipped a beat. Hook?
She wasn't expecting who was at the door.
"Smee?" she asked, surprise in her tone.
Smee took a deep breath. "I shouldn't be here. Captain would have my head if he knew what I was doing."
Emma's heart started to race. "Is Hook okay?" she asked, praying for a yes.
Smee shook his head. "I didn't know where else to turn to. I don't know much about your…relationship with Captain, but I know he cares for you a great deal."
Her mind was in overdrive. "What happened Smee? Tell me. Is he okay?" she asked, her questions rushing out of her mouth as she went to grab her jacket.
Smee looked down. "I'm afraid not, miss. Last night, I was at the docks and overheard the Wicked Witch threaten him."
Her eyes widened as her heart hammered. There was a pounding in her ears that was making it hard to focus on what Smee was saying.
"She placed a curse on his lips. She told him that once your lips land on his, you would lose your magic. Captain said he wouldn't do it but she then threatened your loved ones. My Captain needs your help."
Emma placed her hand over her mouth. She thought back to the day's events.
That's why he's been so distant lately.
That BITCH.
Emma's eyes hardened.
"Take me to him." she said.
"Captain." He heard Smee call from behind him as he looked towards the sea, the sun setting.
Killian pursed his lips. "Not now, Smee." The irritation was evident in his voice.
"Killian." she said. He tensed and turned.
There she was. His love, his all, standing behind Smee.
His eyes hardened. What was Smee up to?
"What's going on?" he asked.
She walked toward him, giving Smee a look as she did so. Upon receiving that look, Smee walked away, leaving the two of them alone.
As she walked toward him, he backed away. "Is something wrong?" he asked her. She didn't say anything, just stared at him. He stared back, swallowing. She was too close for comfort.
"I know about the curse on you." she whispered.
Killian's breath hitched. Smee.
She continued. "He overheard the two of you."
Killian sighed. What could he possibly say?
He was startled as Emma moved inches away from him, pinning him against the railing. As she went to lean in, he pushed her away.
"Don't!" he yelled. "Have you gone mad?! You'll lose your magic!" He began to back away from her but she waved her hand and he found he couldn't move.
No.
"Emma. Please. Let me go." he begged her as she moved toward him again, slowly this time since she knew he had no way of moving.
He swallowed as she stopped in front of him. She brought her hand up to cup his cheek. He closed his eyes. "Please don't do this. You'll lose everything. Please let me go. Without your magic….what if she can take your heart? I'm not worth it."
He felt her lean her forehead against his. He moved his face slightly so his lips weren't as close to hers. "Killian, open your eyes." she whispered.
He opened his eyes. She then proceeded to move his face so that he was looking directly into her eyes, as she was looking into his.
"You are more important to me than my magic. You are more than worth it."
Her lips touched his and as they met, he felt a wind move around them, light and full of promise and hope. A calming breeze that made his soul feel alive.
When they parted, he found he didn't want to open his eyes. He was afraid of what he would see.
His eyes still closed, he called her name, fear in his tone.
"I'm here." she said. He slowly opened his eyes. There she was. His Swan. He looked over her, checked her to make sure she was okay, in good health.
Emma was breathing hard now, her eyes wide and full of something he couldn't quite place.
She stepped away from him slowly and waved her hand. Killian could move again. She still had her magic.
She was fine. Nothing happened.
He was confused.
"It didn't work. Why didn't it work?" he asked.
Emma's eyes began to well as she just stared at him. His confusion grew. "Emma? What's wrong?" He stepped toward her.
"The kiss. It broke the curse she had on you." she whispered, disbelieving.
Killian's brows furrowed. "How is that possible? I thought only True Loves Kiss could break….." he paused.
His heart began to hammer against his chest.
He ran a hand through his hair. "When you lost your memories and I found you in New York, I thought kissing you would bring your memories back. It didn't work. How…."
Emma cut him off. "True Love's Kiss doesn't work with memories." she whispered.
Killian blinked a few times, tears beginning to well in his own eyes. He was in utter disbelief as was she.
Their kiss broke the curse. They were true love. He already knew she was his true love, but he was hers.
Emma Swan ran towards him, pulled him into her arms, and kissed him like he'd never been kissed in his 300+ years of living.
He was hers. She was his. Forever and ever.
End.
