Ursula looked at the ship in surprise. "I'm impressed Hook." Killian rolled his eyes. David and Henry looked over at Emma. She finally woke up, dried blood on her face. "Okay, now if you get my voice I'll release her. But she is coming with us on this voyage. And if there is a hint that you are lying, she dies on sight."
Killian nodded. "Fine." He walked on board and he looked through his cabin, surprised that everything was just as he left it. He looked around and found what he was looking for. He came back to the docks. "Okay here's the shell that contains your voice." Ursula took the shell from Killian.
She looked at it and she became upset when the shell did nothing. "It should work if I touch it. Why isn't it working?" she asked. "Maybe I can help." said Emma. Ursula looked at Emma with anger.
"I don't want your help. I will just have to wait till I return home. Now let's go." She walked up onto the ship. Killian looked back at Regina, David, and Henry. "I will return with Emma safely. I will make sure she is unharmed." David and Henry both nodded.
"I know you will keep my mom safe Killian." said Henry. Killian looked at him in shock. "Aye lad, I will." Henry smiled and nodded. Killian walked up on the ship and took to the wheel. "Maybe I should have gone with them." said David. "No." said Henry.
"It's better for both mom and Killian to be alone. Besides, I believe that Killian can be the hero." They watched the ship sail away. Killian looked at Ursula. "Well since she can't run anywhere." Ursula dropped Emma on the deck hard.
Killian looked at her with anger as he ran over to help Emma up. "Now can you still open portals with your bloody tentacles?" asked Killian. She looked at Killian with a smile. "Yes." She extended her tentacles and touched the water. Killian and Emma quickly grab to the ship's wheel.
The portal opens. Killian looks at Emma. "Here we go again." he said with a smile. Emma smiled. They fall through the portal. Rain is pounding on the ship, Killian is trying to keep a firm grip on the wheel. Ursula is holding onto a rope. Emma is helping Killian. Wind is whipping at the ship. They finally fall to the end of the portal and they hit the water.
Emma opened her eyes and they were sailing through another land. "Atlantica is two days from here." said Killian. Ursula nodded. "Any hint of betrayal she dies." she warned. Killian nodded.
"Well while you were aboard this ship last, I taught you how to steer the ship. Why don't you make yourself useful while I make sure that my girlfriend isn't going to drop dead." Killian guided her to his cabin. He sat her down on the bed.
"How are you feeling love?" Emma looked at him as he moved her hair out of the way and found a wound right at her hairline. He poured some rum on the cut and she hissed in pain. He dabbed at her wound with a cloth. "I'm sorry I don't have any bandages for your head."
"Don't be." she said, touching her head and groaning slightly. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Just a headache." she said. Killian looked at her in concern. "I'm sorry I have nothing to remedy that." Emma smiled. "It's just a headache."
They lounged on the bed. "Killian?" He looked down. "What is the history you have with Ursula?" Killian sighed.
"I met the young lass when she was a mermaid. She's the daughter of King Poseidon. She didn't wish to use her voice to send sailors to their deaths. She had lost her mother to an attack by sailors. Her father wanted revenge."
"When I met her, she was sitting on a rock, crying. I asked her if there was anything I could do. She said yes and she stole a special bracelet from her father and she came on board. She wished for me to take her away from her home. I said fine."
"Eventually her father found us and he threatened the lives of my men and mine if I didn't take her voice from her. He gave me a shell, the shell that she now possesses. I didn't want to take the young lass' voice but I couldn't risk the lives of my men."
"I took her voice and she returned back to her father. I'm guessing that's when she became the sea witch." He bowed his head. "That was back when I was selfish, and hell bent on destroying the crocodile. I'm not proud of what I did."
Emma put a hand on his cheek. "Killian, I already told you that I will never not love you because of your past. We all have demons in our pasts. I love you for the man you are. Not the man you were." Killian smiled and kissed her.
Emma groaned and touched her head again. "Are you sure you're alright Emma? Could you have that thing you thought I had?" Emma looked at him. "A concussion? Maybe." Killian looked at her with concern.
"I'll be fine. I'll just have a headache for a while." She got up and swayed. Killian jumped up and grabbed her elbow. "Love, why don't you just rest. I'll be fine. You need rest." Emma nodded. "Yeah, if I do have a concussion, sleep helps. Just make sure you wake me up a couple times."
Killian nodded. He kissed her very lightly. "I'll be just up there if you need me." Emma smiled and nodded. Killian covered her and left her to rest. She took in the smell of the blankets. It was pure Killian. She smell leather, spices, and of course rum. She smiled as she was surrounded by her boyfriend's scent. She was asleep in moments.
Killian walked back on deck. "Where's the girl?" Ursula asked from the wheel. Killian just glared at her. "She's resting, thanks to you she may have a concussion." Ursula rolled her eyes. "She shot at me." Killian glared at her. "You almost drowned her." Ursula smiled. "Got your attention didn't I?"
Killian rolled his eyes. "Well, I am tired, I am going to rest." she went below deck. Killian watched the waves, he was tired but he couldn't leave the wheel. Emma wasn't in condition and he didn't wish to spend any more time with Ursula then needed.
Emma woke up and her headache was a little worse. She realized that it was almost evening. She got up, ignoring the throbbing pain in her head. She came upstairs. Killian looked over. "Hey, you're up. How are you feeling?" Emma smiled. "A little better." she lied.
Killian left the wheel and walked over to her and hugged her. "I'm glad you're okay." Emma smiled. "The water is so peaceful." said Emma, listening to nothing but the waves. "Yes, and I really have missed it. I'm glad I have the Jolly back." Emma nodded.
"Does that mean you are leaving Storybrooke after we are done with this?" Killian looked at her. "No. Not without you anyway. I was thinking maybe when we return you, me, and the lad will go sailing for the weekend. A family outing." Emma smiled. "Sounds perfect."
She looked into his eyes. She could tell that he was tired. "Killian, why don't you catch a little sleep. I can see it in your eyes, you're tired." Killian smiled. "Okay, I will. Wake me in two hours." Emma gave him a disapproving look. "We should be above Atlantica by Thursday anyway." Emma sighed and shrugged.
"Okay fine. Go and sleep." Killian looked at her with a teasing look. "Do you know how to sail a ship?" Emma laughed at him. "Yes, I know how to sail, I learned it all from some pirate I met. Killian smiled and kissed her head. He headed down to his cabin.
Emma went to the wheel and guided the beautiful ship. She enjoyed the sea air too. She knew why Killian enjoyed it so much. She smiled. Emma let Killian sleep five hours and saw the sun was about to rise. She walked down and woke him up.
Killian smiled. "You let me sleep longer." Emma smiled and nodded. "You needed it." Killian chuckled. Emma smiled. She sat up and swayed as her vision went blurry. Killian smiled and saw her sway. "Emma? Are you alright?"
"I feel funny. I can't see." Emma passed out. "Emma! Emma, wake up!" Killian panicked. Her body started to disappear. Killian jumped awake, breathing heavily. Emma came down. "Are you alright?" Killian nodded. "I let you sleep a little longer. You needed the extra sleep."
"How are you feeling love? Any pain in your head?" Emma smiled. "It was really hurting last night but I'm feeling much better." Killian sighed in relief. Emma sat next to him. "What's the matter?" Killian shook his head. "Just a bad dream." Emma nodded.
She kissed the side of his head. "Come on, we have another day of sailing to do." Killian nodded. He looked around his cabin. He walked over and grabbed a wooden crate. "We need to eat. So what better than to eat freshly caught fish." Emma smiled.
Much to Ursula's disgust Emma and Killian ate fish and Emma learned more about sailing. Emma stood at the front of the ship, enjoying the sound of the waves and the feeling of the sea air in her hair. Killian hugged her from behind.
"This is where I wanted us to have our first date. What better place to have our first date then on the vessel that we fell in love with each other?" Emma leaned into his embrace with a smile. "We can always have a date on the ship." Killian smiled.
They continued there, just listening to the waves. "You know, if I wasn't being threatened, I would really be enjoying this right now." Killian's face turned from a smile to a frown. He turned Emma around.
"Emma, you know that I would never let anything happen to you right? I would always keep you safe." Emma nodded. "I know, it was a joke." Killian sighed and shook his head. Emma put her hand on his cheek. "Hey."
He looked into her eyes. "I know that you will keep me safe no matter what. I trust you with my life. I love you." She leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips. They continued sailing. Ursula came down from the wheel. "Be careful, around here there are mermaids that will lure you to your death."
Killian rolled his eyes and turned and looked Ursula. "Believe me sea witch, I know far more dark things than a creature like you." Ursula rolled her eyes and walked below deck. Emma looked down at the water.
"But really love, heed her warning. When a mermaid begins to sing, it's almost like you lose control, your brain shuts itself off. Please be careful around here." Emma nodded. "I will man the wheel, you just relax."
Emma giggled and just watched the water. About an hour later, Killian decided to take a break. "I'm going to run down to my cabin and freshen up a bit, it quite hot here." Emma nodded. "Okay, I'll take the wheel."
Killian kissed her head and headed below deck. Emma was focusing on keeping an eye on the ship when she heard a sound. She walked over to the end of the ship and looked down. There was a young girl with a emerald green tail.
She shook her head and backed away from the edge of the ship. She headed back to the wheel when she suddenly heard a melodic voice. She stopped and smiled at the beautiful sound. She had never heard such a beautiful voice before.
Killian cupped his hands and threw cold water on his face. He shook his head, as he wiped it dry. Suddenly he heard a voice. A beautiful melodic voice. He shook his head. 'No...EMMA!' He ran up the stairs as he saw Emma step up on the edge of the ship.
"Emma! Emma, stop!" He took off running. He reached for her hand and missed it when she jumped into the water. "EMMA!"
