Hi there :) I hope you like this chapter. I just made a small change, in this world Killian never lost his hand, for that, he was never called Hook. I promise this will make more sense in the next chapters.
"Oh bloody hell." Killian said allowing his body rest for a while, without being in a constant state of vigilance.
"It's a setup, all of this. A scheme. I don't know what to do next." Emma froze. She pictured herself falling into this black hole, where Lily wanted her. All her moves, everything that had happened the moment she woke up here, it was all planned by Lily.
Emma thoughts were interrupted by Sarah's loud crying that filled the entire castle.
"Shh Shh, Sarah. What's wrong? Snow asked, holding her tighter, but she kept crying, distracting even more Emma.
"I can't think." She said low to herself
"Emma what we do now?" Killian asked approaching her
"I don't know. We're screwed, we're going to stay here forever."
Killian toke Emma's both hands and grabbed them. Emma looked up at him. Those eyes always bring some hope in her life.
"You are not thinking clearly Emma. What was your main plan? Let's stick to it and get out of here."
"I'm not strong enough to beat Lily. My magic is gone. I'm in her damn world."
"This is my world too Emma." Emma's face went blank. "I'm going to help you, you just need to tell me what to do."
Emma took a deep breath and focus on the plan, trying to escape the logical part that she was stuck forever in this world. "First, we need to save my son and David. Regina told me where the dungeons where, so we will search there first. It's your job to take them out of. Lily's is my problem."
"We have your back Swan, we will fight her too."
"Count me in. I don't have nothing better to do." Red said
"I'm with you Emma." Snow said, still trying to calm down Sarah
"It's better I go alone, Lily will use each one of you against me."
"I don't care Swan." Killian broke the silence. Snow and Red exchanged a secret look much like what-is-going-on-with-those-two.
"You can die and I can't…" If Killian died in this world, she would lose him forever. An author wouldn't be able to fix this and bring him back. This was their real world, in a messed up way. "Regina will help me, and Robin and his mates."
"Alright, it wouldn't bring any problem if I join them."
"Killian."
Sarah stopped crying all of the sudden. The castle was quiet again, looking even more abandoned. They needed to move fast.
"We can decide that later." Snow said" Now we need to save my husband!"
"She's right." Red said
"Follow me." Emma said
Regina told her exactly the way to the dungeons as well as other hidden and strategic places of the castle but Emma didn't find none of them. The castle was different, what meant that she would have to lose more time searching for some door that led to the dungeons.
"Ah! Found it." She yelled, hoping it was the right door after wasting enough time searching for it.
Killian helped Emma to open the old heavy door that according to her orientation would take to the dungeons. A cold wind went by Emma's hair. "This must be it."
Ahead of them waited a steep and long stairways that seemed not have an end, the only thing that illuminated this ranch was the torches that were hanging in the walls.
"This is kind of cozy." Red said breaking the silence
"Be ready for any sign of the Dark Knights." Emma said stepping into the stairs
The others followed her carefully, trying not to trip on each other or on the stairs that seemed to move every time they touched them. After a few long minutes that seemed like an eternity of stairs, they found another door.
Killian changed glances with Emma and the others and he opened the door kindly and carefully. The door made a creepy sound which made Red trembled a little.
Several torches were illuminated in the moment they entered as some kind of spell. Killian was the first to pass through the door, he grabbed one of the torches in flames and continued to walk. Emma and the others followed his steps.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" Red asked, couldn't help feeling scared at this scenario
"We are in the deepest part of the castle it should lead us to the dungeons." Emma answered
"Watch the feet, ladies." Killian said looking down. The girls immediately looked disgusted by one dead rat lying on the floor. Killian couldn't help to smile looking at their scared faces.
"Very funny." Red said in a good way
"Your faces were priceless, I have to admit." Killian said laughing
"Eyes on the road, pirate." Emma said glancing at him
Killian looked back and smirked at Emma that was behind him. Red was preparing to make a comment about these two, when someone interrupted her in the worst way.
"Hello?" Someone screamed very loud, making Killian jump and almost dropping the torch. "I heard someone. I'm not crazy! I'm not bloody crazy!" Wherever this person sounded a lot like crazy, they could tell it was a girl by the sound of the voice. Emma couldn't help to wonder where she heard this voice. She knew this girl.
"What do we do?" Red whispered
"Help her." Emma raced to the end of the hall, hoping she wouldn't trip on anything. She grabbed one of the torch that was hanging on the walls and slowed down, illuminating every cell.
"We are in the right place!" Emma shouted happily about this small win
Now where is Henry and Regina? She thought, passing thought, every cell.
"Who is there?" She walked more slowly, continuing passing cell after cell. Emma illuminated the cell, slowly and apprehensive of what she could find.
"Angelica?" Emma said surprised "What…"
"Emma?" Killian said, catching up to her, "What the bloody hell? You ran fast as hell"
Snow and Red catch up with her a few seconds after.
"And who is she?" Red asked
Emma gave the torch to Killian and rushed trying to open the cell. "I thought they'd kill you." She said
"Nope. Still alive, in this rat hole." Angelica screamed
"God damn it I can't open the door." Emma said furious
"Emma why don't you concentrate on open that door, maybe your magic come back to you naturally." Snow said
Emma signed and did what Snow told her to. It was her only chance. "I can't…"
Killian step immediately forward. "Yes, you can Swan, use your magic. It's on you. It didn't fade away."
She tried again and this time really tried. She could feel the magic coming back at her, like an explosion inside of her chest trying to get out. She opened her hands and a light appears in her right hand. She opened her eyes and touched the door, opening it.
"You did it!" Angelica said, shouting with excitement "I can't believe it."
"I told you it's still on you" Killian said
"I'm sorry, but who is she?" Red approached the small circle that they had formed
"I'm Angelica, I've met Emma before. I see that you got to arrange more people for your crusade."
"This is Snow, Red and Killian Jones." Emma said, introducing them "Now, have you seen Lily?"
"The only thing I remember was waking up here, I didn't see anyone except one guard that would bring food at the end of the day. "
"Have you heard anyone? Some other prisoner?" Snow asked "A man?"
"I'm sorry… I haven't."
Snow's face dropped of sadness, feeling hopeless, she holds on to Sarah, the only thing she really had in that moment. Emma touched her shoulder, which made Snow look up, with an angry look at her face.
"He's in here, we will find him."
"What are you doing here Emma?" Snow snapped aggressively "I would never be in this position if you'd never showed up. All the craziness that follow us was because of you."
"Snow..." Emma tried to explain herself
"I was perfectly happy and normal before you came, I was with my husband in our home, and then I woke up in a castle and no sign of my husband. And you show up, telling me that he's a prisoner of some evil witch? Because of you? I don't even know you."
"Hey!" Angelica speaks up for Emma
"Don't. It's okay." Emma took some steps backwards and said "You're right. David has to be here, there's another hall that will lead to more cells, and it's your only chance."
Emma closed Angelica's donor cell and walk away from them.
"Swan? What the hell?" Killian asked, walking towards her "Where are you going?"
"Finish this. Please help Snow find her husband and be safe."
"I'm helping you. "
"I got this. I have my magic back and Angelica is pretty good at fighting, so." Emma gave him a warm smile, "I will see you very soon, I promise." She noticed the odd face that Killian made but she continued walking.
In a matter of seconds Emma blonde hair disappeared completely.
"That was intense." Angelica said following Emma "My hair is a mess, look at it."
"I'm sorry I dragged you into this mess."
"I wanted to go, it's my fault my hair looks like this." Angelica smiled, breaking the tension that was building up on Emma.
"Help me with the door."
The two girls moved the door that led them to the dudgeons, and just like that they were back at the main part of the castle. Still no sign of the guards, or, Lily.
"Let's go this way." Emma pointed to another hall, she actually didn't know where she was going, she was just trusting her guts
"So who's the hot pirate?" Angelica said, breaking the silence
"I met him here, he wanted to help me."
"Or the lass has a crazy dying wish, or you are lying to me. Seriously, I need to gossip I've been stuck in this awful styled castle, in that rat cell."
"Alright, just because you look like crap." Emma looked at her and continue walking "He's from the other world. The real world."
"Wow, that's messed up, and he doesn't remember?"
"No, only me."
"I supposed you two had something back there."
"He's my husband."
"Holy Mother" Angelica shouted like a child "And I thought my love life was complicated."
Before Emma could continue she heard something, someone talking out loud while walking towards her.
"I want this ready for tonight." She heard from a distance
Two Black Knights approached them, she could recognize them by their march, but Emma didn't notice who was the other person, whomever that was didn't seem to be a Knight.
Angelica's eyes opened up from panic when noticing that they were side by side, just separated by a gigantic column. "Emma?" Angelica asked, noticing that she was thinking something crazy, and that would put them in danger "No." She muttered
Emma jumped to the front as she removed the sword and threw it for that person's neck, catching him by surprise, but Emma couldn't see his face. Angelica followed her steps, she jumped upward of one of the guard and stole him the sword and dropped the other black knight.
"Take me to her!" Emma demanded
"You should be Emma right?" She removed the sword of the throat when noticing that was David speaking. He turned to her with a vicious look in his eyes, his face was pallid, reminding her of something that was dead, since his face back home was always so full of life.
"No" She muttered. David looked much like the last time he was in a messed up universe, he was playing on the evil side hearing a black armor, but this felt different, back then she had hope, now she was stuck.
"Finally! I was wondering when you were showing up. "Angelica said, catching Emma from behind, and placing the sword in her neck.
I really like Charming in the last episode of season 4 so I decided to use that in here. Thank you for the reviews, favs and follows :)
(Just to clear things out, since some people are having doubts about it, Charming is Snow's husband, Lily gave Snow a idea of happiness with Charming and Sarah in their small house, he's still her husband, Lily turned him dark, that's why he went missing. He still remembered Snow. Calm down)
And also, #PrayForParis. I'm so sorry for all the people that saw themselves in this horrible situation. Know that Portugal cares.
