"This way!" called Ruby from around the corner of the tunnels.
As Killian and I hurried through, another pulse emerged from the pit of my stomach, this time so strong that it sent me flying back hard onto the ground.
"Emma!" Killian scrambled to my feet, trying to pull me up.
"What happened?" asked Ruby.
"The baby," I winced.
"Her magic, it's getting stronger,"
Killian helped me to my feet, and then smoothed his good hand over my stomach.
"How much stronger?"
"I don't know," I said, placing my hand over his, looking up at him.
"Come on, this way! We don't have much time, a Black Guard could've heard us!" called Ruby as we reached a dead end.
"Dammit! I'm sorry I don't know another way, there used to be a secret passage way through these walls, but somehow it's disappeared. There's no other way,"
"How did you get here in the first place?"
"We can't go back the same way I came in, it's too dangerous, and before we even try and find another way, can I just ask, how the hell are you here?"
"We came through a portal from the present. Our daughter's in trouble, we have to help her,"\
"Still haven't figured out the Savior thing yet?"
I looked at her and sighed. I then felt another pulse, my left hand came to rest on my stomach.
"Perhaps we should discontinue our journey," suggested Killian, looking at my hand and then eyes.
"I'm not in pain, it's just magic. Besides, we need to finish this,"
I looked around us, the walls of the caves looked as though they were closing in on us. I then remembered something; portals can be opened not just from the outside...
"Ruby, is it possible to open a portal in here?"
"You could try, I wouldn't really know, I don't have magic," she smiled.
I turned to Killian, "I know she's weakening me, but we have to try something,"
"Aye love, I agree,"
I turned back to face the wall. I didn't know how thick it was and I didn't care, something had to be done. I started raising my hands, feelings Lily's magic about to burst. I set my hands down again, and turned back to face Killian and Ruby.
"There's no point, every time I try to use magic, I can feel Lily trying to stop me," I watched questiongly as Ruby frowned for a long moment. Too long.
"Ruby, what is it?" her eyes lifted to mine.
"What if the baby is trying to tell us something?"
"Like what?"
"What if the next time you feel her magic, just let it happen. Perhaps she can open the portal by herself,"
"That can't be possible, she's not born yet,"
"Swan," Killian looked at me.
"Give it a chance," i sighed, looked at the wall, and then at my stomach, resting my hand on the small bulge.
"Alright, your turn," I felt my breathing start to pick up, a strange tingling sensation emerged. Suddenly, everything began to shake, and the wall came crumbling down to reveal a Sunny village.
"Well, I'm certainly excited to see what she'll be like when she's born," Ruby chuckled.
Killian's hook came to rest on my back, his good hand placing over my stomach.
"Well done princess," he smiled.
I covered his hand with my own. We felt a pulse and I couldn't help but giggle. Killian looked up at me.
"What is it?" he smiled.
"I'm strangely ticklish on the inside. Every time her magic pulses, it tickles,"
Killian cocked an eyebrow, giving a devillish smile.
"Or maybe it's just me," he said, flickering his eyes to my stomach as he started tickling it.
"Killian!" I shouted, bending over his arm, falling ino him, his fingers still at work.
All he did was laugh.
"Killian I can't breathe!" I laughed.
"Oh, then it's working," he smirked.
"You guys are too cute," I smile at Ruby's words as Killian calmed me down, his fingers now drawing soothing circles on my stomach bare stomach as my shirt had risen up by his grip. I looked at him, took his hook and twirled out of my position.
I tiruned to face the new scenery.
"Who's village?" I asked.
"Anything within the royal grounds belongs to the Queen," I turned around to face Ruby.
"About that, you are aware that the Queen is a Dark One?"
Ruby's eyes bulged, "What? That's impossible! The Dark One has been gone for a long time,"
"How long?"
"Sine Snow and Charming were killed and Lily became Queen," My eyes widened.
"My parents are-,"
"Your from the present right?"
"Yea,"
"Ever since Lily left Storybrooke and came here, things have been terrible,"
"That's why we're here. We've met the Dark One and now we need to meet the Savior. Lily is destined to become either one and it's our job to make sure she chooses the right path,"
"Let's get out of these caves before someone sees us."
We walked across the field from the Queen's castle, wandering into the small village.
"if Lily's Queen, where's Regina?"
"Look, I can't tell you much because I've learn't from the last time you time traveled, what can happen if things get messed up. Emma, your parents, Regina and every other person from the Enchanted Forest that you knew are dead. Only you, Killian, Henry and Lily survived. Lily is the reason for everything that has happened. If you think yo can help her and make sure this doesn't happen in the present, be my guest,"
"How are you still alive?"
"Because I came here before you got pregnant,"
"A portal to get here? Not an easy thing to come by,"
"Fairy dust, from Blue. I told her 2 weeks before your wedding that I wanted to come back,"
Suddenly, form the corner of my eye I caught a villager staring at us. Her eyes bulged as she dropped a bag she was carrying.
"The Queen has followers! Run!" everyone screamed as they began to run.
"Wait! We're not what you think," everyone turned to face me.
"Look, you can believe what I'm gonna say or you can keep running. But I suggest you listen to me because it's gonna save a lot of lives,"
The villagers looked at each other.
"Whatever you believe now, forget it, cause it won't do you any good. The Dark One is believed to be gone, but it's not true. Your Queen, the young girl dressed in black who's just chilling up in her castle up there? She's the Dark One . You don't have to believe me, but it's true. And she has cost you too many lives to count. You want to live? Let me be your leader so I can lead you away from whatever the hell she has planned,"
"Who are you?" asked a woman.
"My name is Emma Swan, I'm your Savior,"
