Chapter Twenty
"How did it happen?" Emma asked. She, Elsa and Jasmine were curled up in Jasmine and Aladdin's bed, a roaring fire going in the fire place and food scattered on the tables. Jasmine was so thin and still so tired.
Three days before Lancelot had returned with the physician, who was still caring for the Sultan. Killian and Henry were with Lancelot, Genie and Aladdin outside in one of the gardens. Aladdin was determined to get stronger. Abu was clinging to Henry as if the little boy were his lifeline. Jasmine was still so tired and weak, though, sleeping most of the days away curled up with the carpet. None of them were fit for travel yet.
Jasmine rolled over to face Emma and Elsa, the carpet sluggishly moving with her, "We thought we'd banished him. We defeated him years ago, just shortly after you and Baelfire married." She murmured, "But he came back. We laughed at that. Our army and Genie easily keeping him out of the country until he arrived."
"He?" Elsa asked quietly. The story was eerily familiar. It was how Hans finally took over. Elsa was no match for the Dark One and his magic. She was still learning to control her own abilities. It was twice as hard without Ana around to help her maintain control.
"The Dark One." Jasmine whispered. "He was sitting on father's throne one day and told us that he had no use for us. That it would be far more beneficial to have Jafar on the throne." She watched the fire crackle as she spoke, "And there was nothing anyone could do. He's so powerful." She glanced up at Emma, "Even Genie couldn't defeat him. Emma, I want to help you, but there's nothing we can do about this. We can't stop him. No one can stop him."
Emma shook her head slowly, "That's not entirely true."
Jasmine frowned at Emma's words, "If there's someone who can stop him, then why haven't you yet? What are you doing here?"
Clearing her throat, Emma focused on an unlit candle on the table next to the bed. It took a moment, but the candle lit. Jasmine looked from Emma to Elsa confused. She knew Elsa had magic, but it seemed as though Emma lit the candle. "My magic can stop the Dark One. It has before, but I can't control it. We came here looking for Genie. We thought perhaps he could help hone my powers. They're," she hesitated, "temperamental at best."
Jasmine shook her head, "Emma, I had no idea you had magic."
The blonde shrugged, "Neither did I."
"I think," Elsa began, "and I'm not completely sure this is accurate, though it does appear to be, I think it is because she's the product of true love. It manifested itself once she met Killian."
"It saved him." Emma whispered, "It's saved us both."
Reaching over, Jasmine squeezed Emma's hand, "Well, Genie will be thrilled to work with you on this. And the moment we can, we're traveling to Misthaven to stop the Dark One and George."
"You can't leave your kingdom, Jasmine." Emma chastised, "Not after we just got rid of Jafar and"
"And nothing, we'll wait until father is strong enough to take his rightful place again. He's still the Sultan and then we'll go. If Aladdin or I have to meet you later, we will, but Genie will go immediately." Jasmine ordered. Even if she didn't physically feel well, the woman held herself and gave orders like a princess.
Emma nodded automatically, "Very well, then. And thank you."
"The Dark One and George are behind this." Jasmine stated firmly, "They ruined our lives and put our people at risk. It's time to take back our kingdoms and make the world a safer place."

Two days later the Sultan was up and moving again, "I am telling you, Jasmine, you and Aladdin and Genie should go to Misthaven. Go before it's too late."
Killian stepped in before Jasmine and her father could start arguing, "With all due respect, your majesty, we really ought to wait until the winds shift." He thought quickly of an excuse that would placate the still weak ruler. "They should shift any day now. We'll prepare the Jolly, but our journey will be much swifter if the winds are in our favor. There's no point in fighting Mother Nature out at sea."
The Sultan glared at the pirate, "Fine. Have it your way. You are a stubborn lot." He muttered before waddling off towards the throne room.
Jasmine shook her head, "Thank you, Killian."
He ducked his head automatically, "I did not mean to interrupt, but I thought that may ease your mind for a while."
"He's just weak still. And if we take Genie, and we should, he will be alone here. Lancelot wants to go wherever Elsa goes. No one will be here to watch him and I want to face the Dark One and George myself, to ensure they pay for their crimes here."
"I understand that quite well, your highness. I'm looking forward to them both paying for everything they've taken from me and everything they've done to Emma and Henry." Killian murmured.
Jasmine studied the pirate captain closely. He reminded her so much of her Aladdin. A thief he may be, but he had the heart of a hero. "You love them both dearly."
Killian's head shot up at Jasmine's words, "Aye," he agreed, "very much. Henry is much like a son to me, now."
"And Emma?" Jasmine asked.
Killian swallowed past a lump in his throat, "She's like the missing piece of my soul." He whispered, "She's the happy ending I never thought I'd have."
Jasmine nodded, content with his answer, "You may call me Jasmine, Killian." She patted his arm lightly before walking out of the room.
Emma chuckled from her place in the doorway. She'd gone searching for Killian, in hopes of getting some alone time now that Henry was occupied, and found her pirate in a serious conversation with Jasmine, "You have the princess' approval." She noted.
Killian turned, not at all surprised to find her in the doorway, "Aye, that I do, love."
Holding out a hand, Emma murmured, "Come, Henry is in the gardens sparring with Lancelot. He's well occupied now."
Reaching out, Killian laced their fingers together, "And where are you leading me?" He asked quietly.
His voice was low and rough and Emma found herself shivering at the tone, "I thought we may have a bit of alone time, since we haven't gotten a bit since we arrived." She tugged him down the corridor and up one of the back staircases towards their room.
"And what exactly does the princess think will happen once we get our alone time?" He asked.
Spinning, Emma tugged him into an alcove, "Whatever the captain wishes."
Growling, Killian tugged her towards him, his hand anchoring in her hair to tilt her head back. She mewled into the kiss. It had been days since he kissed her like this. Like he wanted to devour her. She felt her legs buckle when his tongue swept into her mouth. It still floored her that a kiss could leave her breathless. That something so simple could wreck her so completely.
She sucked in a breath when he pulled back, "Take me to bed, Killian." She requested. She let out a shriek when he scooped her up, carrying her down the hallway to their chambers. He didn't put her down until she was on the bed. Using her magic, she shut the door and locked it. Rocking up on her knees, Emma reached out for him, "Make me scream." She ordered softly.

George paced the camp restlessly. He'd sent out a scouting mission to see if anyone had taken over his winter palace. He was anxious for the news to arrive so he could move into it if it was empty. "You look worried." A maniacal laugh sounded behind him, "Why do you look worried when I am here to help?"
George spun, "Because the kingdoms around me are falling. You told me I would have ultimate control; that I would be able to trade freely and would not have to worry about anything. So long as Emma married your son I could have whatever I pleased. I received news that Jafar has been unseated."
Rumpelstiltskin shrugged, "I got tired of keeping him in power."
"Our agreement"
Rumple interrupted George before he could finish, "Our agreement is still intact, or did you not read the fine print?" With a flick of his wrist, Rumple brandished the contract, "I always honor my agreements." He laughed again, "Your palace is clear, you may return whenever you wish. Emma and her pirate are still in Agrabah."
George opened his mouth to respond, but the Dark One was gone. With a sigh, he shook his head, "Prepare for departure." He barked out the order.
OUAT
"Right there!" Emma's voice bounced off the walls of their room. Anyone walking past would know exactly what she and the pirate captain were doing. "Fuck! Harder, Killian!" Her nails dug into his shoulders as he pounded into her, skin slapping against skin. She felt like the ground had been ripped out from under her. The things this man could do to her body. She screamed when he adjusted the angle ever so slightly, sinking into her body even more.
"Bloody hell, Emma." He groaned, picking up the pace, riding her hard. When her walls clamped down her around her, he groaned, "Again." He ordered.
She moaned as she clenched him again, his next thrust sending her spiraling out of control, her orgasm ripping through her. She felt like she was being pulled apart at the seams, her vision going white behind her eyes as her back bowed. He shouted out her name as his own release washed over him before collapsing on top of her.
Breathing hard, Emma ran her hand through his damp hair, "You certainly did make me scream." She panted.
"You did order me to." He rolled off of her, drawing her into his side, "And I was never one to defy a lady's wishes."
She nuzzled her nose into his chest, "Love you." She murmured.
He nodded, "Aye, love, and I you."
"We'll leave for Misthaven soon, right?" She whispered into his skin.
Pressing a kiss to the top of her head, he nodded, "Two days and the Sultan should be alright for us to leave." He confirmed.
"Two days. . ." Emma murmured in agreement.
Running his hand up her arm, Killian whispered, "Sleep, now, Emma. We'll plan our attack after we rest." A yawn was her only response.
