Summary: Takes place after Season 4 Episode 5 "Breaking Glass" but before/during episode 6, "Family Business". Initially, this story was going to take place before the next episode, but I had this idea about an alternate version of the episode. What if, Killian was taken by the Snow Queen in between episodes and Emma and the gang is searching for him as well as information on who she is and her connection to Emma. Since I have decided to write an alternative to this episode, I did go back and use some of the dialogue from the episode. Please remember, I do not own these characters (OBVIOUSLY).
Author's Note: Thank you to the readers who have seen this story! Thank you to the reader who left a review! I was nervous about making my return to fanfic writing after all these years, but I suddenly feel so inspired by everyone. Enjoy the third installment!
Chapter Three
Killian looks at his phone and presses every button to stop the sound that it's making before he realizes, it's not his cell phone that's ringing.
"What?" He mutters under his breath. "Is there someone else there? Answer me!"
He maneuvers his arms out from the warmth of his jacket and uses his good hand to push himself off the cold, hard ground, in search of the singing device. The sound gets louder and louder and he finds it across the room right under a pile of snow right around where he woke up. He bends down to pick it up and presses the talk button.
"Hello?"
"Killian?" He hears Belle's voice on the other end. "What are you doing with Rumple's phone?"
Killian clenches his jaw. Of course, The Dark One is involved in this.
"I didn't know this was his device. I found it in this ice cave. The Snow Queen has me trapped here. She's trying to lure out Emma so she can…"
"Killian? Killian are you alright?"
The Snow Queen is back and uses her magic to stop Killian from telling Belle anything else. The phone falls from his hand onto the icy floor and she picks it up.
"Whoever this is, tell Emma that if she wants her pirate alive, she needs to give herself over to me."
"What have you done to him? Why is Rumple's phone there? Have you taken him too?
The Snow Queen smirks. "So many questions, but there is so little time left before our one-handed friend freezes to death. Tell Emma it's her move."
She ends the call and waves her hand over the phone to magically send it back to The Dark One's pocket. She moves back toward Killian and waves a hand over him to un-freeze him.
"You almost ruined my game, pirate."
Through chattering teeth, Killian says "Sssorry you're mm-majesty. Never was one f-for games."
She lifts her hand to his cheek and with her thumb and index finger, strokes his jawbone and holds tightly just at his chin. "Well, pirate, I think it's time you took a little rest."
With a wave of her hand, Killian is out cold. His body falls to the ground and she magics a small cage around him so he can no longer try to find a way out.
"Sweet dreams, Captain."
