Chapter Twenty Four

As the fog lifted all we could hear was screaming filling every empty space in the room. Liam fell to the ground convulsing and everybody stood there watching. Was it magic that was doing this to him? Emma thought and it left her with a sick feeling that made her body ache with a sudden jolt of helplessness. Liam's face covered in tears his eyes shut and he looked calm, Emma noted. He pressed a shaking hand onto his ears begging to make it stop.

Killian took a step forward towards his brother and all the breath was sucked from the room, leaving Emma dying to leave. The ceiling felt too small and walls too thin, she had to leave, she had to leave she had to go.

Killian bent down beside his brother and placed his hands on Liam's. He whispered something Emma couldn't hear and Killian bowed his head over his brothers. Emma couldn't control the tears flowing down her face as she watched her true love mourn over his brother. Emma placed a hand on her son's shoulder and turned him around.

"You did what you could," She explained to Henry, Emma felt that it was in everybody's best interest if they turned around from Killian and Liam. Emma understood that whatever grief she was feeling had nothing compared to Killian's.

The air that was not present in the room seemed to fill the room in full forced making Emma lose her footing and have her stagger forward. Everybody turned to look at Killian and Liam, who just preformed true loves kiss .

"Brother!" Killian exclaimed and hugged Liam tightly. Relief washed over Killian as he learned what he had just done, true loves kiss. Liam clapped him on the back but when they pulled apart from the hug Killian felt Liam growing weak and helped him stand upright. Liam shook his head and smiled at Emma before looking around asking where he was.

"That is a story for another time," Killian said smiling and helping his brother sit down.
