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 everyone who has continued to follow along and for those of you who have left me reviews. You have no idea how encouraging it is to me as a creative and as the author of this story. THANK YOU! I do plan to write back to you all individually but for now, a massive shoutout to each of you will do. Will we rescue Killian in this chapter? I can't say for sure. You'll have to read to find out. Enjoy the next installment of The Snow Queen.

Chapter Five

"She knows we have the pirate."

"Oh? Or do they just know that YOU have the pirate", he says, pointing his fingers at the Snow Queen. "Those simpletons will never figure out my involvement which leaves my plan intact and yours in the gutter, dearie."

The Snow Queen stands facing her ice wall while the Dark One stands off to the side, almost in the shadows of the wall, knowing someone from town might see him. She places one hand on the wall, stroking the ice as she forms a devious tight-lipped smile and says "Your wife tried to call you. She got the pirate instead."

With a wave of her hand, Rumplestiltskin's phone is resting in the palm of her hand. He pats around his pants and jacket pockets searching for it when she says, "Looking for this?"

"How did…?"

"You dropped it on the ground near where you deposited him. Luckily, I returned before he could say much else to her."

"It seems it will be your word against mine, Your Majesty. Belle knows I've changed my ways. She'll never believe that I am involved in something so nefarious. After all, the pirate and I declared a truce."

Turning slowly, she glides over to Rumplestiltskin gently patting snowflakes off of his suit jacket while gently saying "Perhaps, that's something we can use to our advantage."

"What did you have in mind, dearie?"

Henry hears all that he needs to know that he has to get Emma here, now. He pulls out his phone and writes out a message letting her know what's happening. He doesn't hear the Snow Queen and Mr. Gold come towards him, but he looks up and sees them surrounding him.

"Tsk, tsk" Mr. Gold says. "How much did you hear?"

"Enough to know that you're lying to everyone, including Belle. You're the same as you always have been!" Henry turns to run but smacks right into a fresh wall of ice and falls to the floor.

"What the…?"

"I think it's time the pirate had some company." With a flick of his wrist, Henry is no longer standing at the side of the road. Rather he finds himself trapped inside the ice cave. He takes a minute to get his bearings and when he looks to his left, he sees Killian. He kneels down and shakes Killian's shoulder a couple of times, shouting "Hook, Hook!" before he finally opens his eyes.

"Henry?" Killian's voice is low and weak from the cold. "How are you here? Is Emma…?"

"I'm sorry, Hook. I was spying on my grandfather, Mr. Gold, and the Snow Queen. They caught me. Now I'm here. I sent my mom a text though. I'm hoping she will read it before…"

Killian wraps his hand around Henry's arm and gives it a gentle, understanding squeeze. "It's alright, lad. I also got a message to her earlier. I'll bet the cavalry is on their way. We just need to hang on until then." Henry sees Killian's body spasm with shivers and hears as his teeth chatter together.

"You've been here this whole time?"

He sees Killian try to nod, but the cold rips through him. "Aye, lad. It appears the Snow Queen is trying to draw out the Savior."

"Why? What does she want with Emma?"

"I wish I knew."

A couple of hours pass, and Henry starts shivering slightly. All he's wearing is a light jacket and a hoodie underneath. He cups his hands around his mouth and exhales warm breaths into his palms. Hook, seeing Henry is freezing, removes his arms from his leather jacket and lays it over Henry.

"No, Hook, you need to stay warm too." Henry says, trying to hand the jacket back over to Killian. But he raises his hand and says "I've slept in much colder climates, lad. You take it. Stay warm. I'll be alright."

Killian settles himself back down on the floor knowing that if Emma doesn't find them soon that he might not have much longer.
