Chapter 32: Child of the Sea
Emma looked away, her attention being drawn to something and was staring at the remaining water pails, even Rem was staring.
"What the hell?" The blonde breathed.
He turned his head and he didn't understand what was causing it, but the water in the pails was swirling up and out, forming tiny streams that wove around each other in mid air.
He raised his left hand to touch it and he was surprised when the water came to him, swirling around his hand and arm. He could feel it...he could sense the water in his mind...how it flowed, the speed, the density, how it moved, how it separated and reformed.
He formed a picture in his mind...a rather simple one at that...the trident and he watched in surprise and wonder as the water flowed away from his arm and formed the shape of the trident in the air.
It was him...he was controlling the water, but how? Then it hit him...Poseidon...thats what she had said when she removed the tattoo on his wrist and a formed a new one on the back of his right hand...the trident within the prism.
"Killian...uh...how are you doing that?" Emma asked eyes transfixed on the water.
"Me captain is a Child of the Sea. I was wondering why he felt so...off. Ya powers were asleep, weren't they? How did that happen?" Rem explained making him even more confused.
"Are you saying that I had this power back in Neverland...when we met?" He asked trying to understand what he was being told.
"Of course ya did, captain. It's how ya saved us from the lost boys when they cornered us near the cliff. Ya used the water from the sea to push them back a fair bit into the jungle and then used the water to guide us down the cliff and into a hidden cave. I don't remember much after that...i think I might have fallen asleep because I woke up in Fang's camp with ya watching over me." Rem answered honestly.
Emma looked away from the aquatic spectacle and looked at him, her eyes taking on a rather pensive look.
"You don't remember that." She stated reading his expression and he shook his head.
"I don't remember ever having powers and i don't know who this Fang person is. I don't understand. What the bloody hell is going on?!" He replied his emotions beginning to go berserk.
When he lost control over his emotional state so did the water he had been controlling. It shot off in different directions, nearly hitting Emma and Rem, and swirled wildly through the tent.
"Killian, look at me." Emma ordered forcing his face toward her, "You need to calm down."
"Calm down?! Something or someone has messed with my head, my memories. I cant remember a good chunk of my time in Neverland...its a bloody blur! I have powers that i don't remember having and I can't remember how I met my star. I know that i met her before. It's the only way I can explain how i feel and you're asking me to bloody calm down!" He ranted before suddenly hunching over in pain.
Every muscle in his body seemed to seize up at once and that terrible thirst came back. The water stopped and fell to the floor as he started shaking and gasping for breath. His vision darkened and he barely heard the blonde call for help before he blacked out from the pain.
