Chapter 6

Emma POV:

We leave the mall. This time I keep my eyes open as we go. Its starting to get dark out now. He drives back towards town and we stop at a restaurant called The anchor. Its near the shore which is likely why they picked the name. When we walk in, I notice right away they have a live band performing, singing modern covers of popular songs. There are red candles lit at every table and string lights all around the walls and across the ceiling.

The hostess greets us and sits us at a table next to a window overlooking the ocean and hands us each a menu. It's mostly seafood but they have a few other choices.

"What are you going to order, love?" Killian asks

"I think I'm going to try the eggplant Parmesan. What about you?" I ask

"I think I'll have the grilled haddock." He replies

"A good choice, for a pirate." I joke and smile at him

He reaches for my hand over the table. "I may be a pirate but I enjoy more than just seafood and sailing." He says as he looks at me and smiles, the crooked smile I love.

I smile back at him and I can feel my cheeks turning red. Before I can reply, our food arrives and we start to eat.

"Emma!" Killian says

I look up and he's holding his fork over the table towards me, "Try this! It tastes amazing."

I accept the bite of food and he's right. "Wow, that is good and I don't normally like fish."

"You really should eat more. I can tell you've lost weight. I know you're a busy lass but you have to remember to take the time to eat. I'll cook for you some time, once I get my own place." Killian says

Killian really does notice all the little things. He's always worried about me and so caring. Wait, he just said once he gets his own place he would cook for me.

"You're looking for a place?" I ask

He looks up from his plate, "Well I've been looking around. Somewhere with a view of the ocean. A home big enough for a family. A place to build a future in." He smiles "Hopefully with you, when you're ready to take the plunge with me."

"Killian, I am not sure what my future is." I start to look away, not knowing what to say. I want a future with him, more than anything but if these visions I'm having a true, we won't get our happy ending.

"The future is uncertain, Emma, but there is one thing I want you to be certain of! I will always be by your side!

The live band starts to sing a slow song, and Killian gets up. He holds out his hand "would you like to dance?" He asks

I reach out and accept his invitation, and we dance to a cover of Give Me Love, by Ed Sheeran.

Dancing here with him, in this small place, for a moment all my worries, all the people around fell away and it was just the two of us. I want this to last forever. The song ends and we stand still holding each other's gaze and then we pull apart.

"Shall I take you home now, swan?" He asks

"Yeah, it's getting late." I look out towards the ocean through the window.

We leave the restaurant and the drive home is quiet. It only takes a few minutes to pull up to my parents apartment. He walks me up to the door.

"I had a really great time today. Thank you for the dress." I say as I look down at the dress and then back up at him.

"It was my pleasure, Swan." He says,

I reach my arms around his neck and find his lips. The kiss was not like the others. I felt a fire burning my lips, an electric feeling. He pulled his lips away from mine leaving them feeling cold, but he starts to trace kisses down my jaw line and down my neck. I moan without meaning to. He pulls away as I put a hand over my mouth hoping no one heard that.

"I really need to get my own place." I say, instantly regretting that I can't drag him inside to continue this.

"We will get one, one day." He says as he smiles and places one more kiss on my lips. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight" I say and I open the door to my parents place and close it. I lean on the door and I put my hand on mouth, remembering the feeling of his lips on mine.

"So, how was your day?" Mary Margaret asks bring me back from my love spell.

I turn and see my mom is still up and Regina is over.

"It was the most wonderful day, I can remember ever having." I reply.

"I love your new dress!" Mary Margaret complements, I look down at it forgetting that I hadn't left the apartment with it on.

"Killian got it for me." I smile at my mom and Regina. "What are you two up to?" I ask

"We are having a girls night in. Did you want to join us for a drink?" Regina offers.

"Sure, just let me have a quick shower and change." I dash up to my room and grab some PJs and slip back down into the bathroom.

I turn the shower on and wash the day away. The warm water on my skin is so relaxing. Suddenly my hand starts to shake again. I try to steady it with my other hand but it's not working. I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around myself. I try to steady myself again, hopeful it will pass but then I see a glimpse of something.

Another vision. I'm in gold's shop talking about a plan to go back in time. I remember this vision.

"Did you get the stuff?" He asks me

"I did!" I hand him a ribbon and I lock of blonde hair.

"These both belong to the person that you want sacrificed for this magic?" He asks

"Yes!" I reply with confidence

"Leave the rest to me, Emma." He assures me, "it will be done."

"Thank you Gold." I nod at him and turn away.

"Is he worth it?" He asks.

I turn to face him again, "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a little while. In the end when you're in love, no matter what happens, it's always worth it."

The vision ends and I collapse on the floor trying to open the door and it swings open. Regina and my mom rush over to my side.

"Emma!" They both yell my name.

My mom pulls my head into her lap. I look up at them trying to steady my hands and pull myself up.

Regina puts her hand on my chest, "Don't. Take it easy, Emma."

"She must have just had another seizure." Mary Margaret says to Regina.

The shaking stops after a few minutes and sit up. All three of us are sitting on the floor now. I look up at both of them. Tears falling down my cheeks. I have to tell them.

"They aren't seizures. Well at least not entirely." I continue with their attention. "These tremors or shakes, they are followed by visions. Visions I think are of my future."

Mary Margaret is the first to speak, "Why didn't you tell us?!"

"At the time I didn't think they were anything but a figment of my imagination but then they started to happen more and more." I start to admit.

"I only know of the one and now this. How many of these have you had?" She asks, with concern.

I look at her, not willing to admit it. "I think I've had five now, but its not something I really am trying to keep track of."

"Emma, you should have told us. You can't do this all on your own. Does Hook know?" She asks.

"No!" I reply really quickly "Please don't tell him."

"Emma you can't keep secrets from the ones you love." She says

"I will tell him, when I'm ready." Not sure when I will be though.

Regina finally says something, "What are these visions about?" She asks.

I don't want to tell them. I sit there trying to think of what to say. That last vision I had with Gold, I gave him two possessions that belonged to the person now fated to die in place of Killian. Those items I handed him, were mine.
