Chapter 10: Finding A Story

Killian held Amelia's limp form in his arm, raising her hand to his lips gently so that he could press a kiss to each finger as he closed his eyes tightly, allowing tears to fall,

"This is your fault" Rumple growled down at him with a vicious glare and hatred filled eyes as he watched the mournful pirate captain life Amelia into his arms, bridal style,

"If you had just let me take her back home a year ago then none of this would have happened!" Rumple snapped at him but Hook simply looked at him with a stern yet exhausted expression,

"... She's your daughter, mate. Deal or not. You should have known that despite her lack of knowledge of the world she would never allow anyone to die for her... I unfortunately came to know that part about her too late" Killian said simply before moving downstairs and carried Amelia below deck, into his cabin where he laid her body carefully on the bed... Reluctantly moving away from her so that he could open his private safe just as Rumple entered the room... Killian removed a box that contained a glowing red heart that was slightly tainted with a black mist,

"... I told her that this was the safest place in all the realms because I was the only person that could open it due to my hook being the key..." Killian murmured sadly before pulling out an envelope that sat beside his heart and he offered it to The Dark One,

"... It looks like she wrote you something" he said prompting Rumple to snatch the envelope from him before Killian moved back to sit beside Amelia after placing the box containing his heart on his desk in an uncaring manner.


Rumple stared at the envelope on which the word 'Papa' was written and he quickly opened it and began reading,

'My Dearest and Beloved Papa,

I am hoping that you won't ever have to read this letter because I am hoping that I will be able to convince you to show mercy and spare Killian's life...

If you are reading this then it means that I was unsuccessful... During this past year away from you I have seen and learned so much about the world... both good and bad. There were moments when I had time to myself that I allowed myself to think of everything that occurred between us...

Many times the memories made me cry... Tears of anger, sadness, pain... but most of the time they were tears of missing you. It took me some time but I finally came to understand that I didn't care about the fact that you aren't my father by blood... I only care that you chose to be the father that raised me.

Please know that I forgive you for everything... I had to give Killian my heart because... I couldn't watch him die.

I love him, papa... I may not have known him long but... Please understand my heart belongs to him.

My final wish is that you give up your hatred towards him and let him and his crew sail away safely.

All my love,

Your Teacup'


Rumple finished reading as a tear fell down his scaled cheek and he looked towards the pirate captain whom gently brushed a strand of hair away from Amelia's face before pressing a soft kiss to her forehead,

"... Her heart belongs to you..." Rumple murmured,

"I didn't ask her to put it inside of me, mate" Killian replied simply but Rumple shook his head, moving to Hook's desk and picked up the captain's heart,

"No I understand that... Its the fact that her heart sat within your chest and you didn't even notice the difference... Almost as if it was like your own heart was in your chest... Amelia may have cast a glammer spell over her heart so that it would appear to look like your own but... Her magic would not be strong enough to make you feel that it was the same when it was within your chest..." Rumple murmured,

"What are you getting at, Mate?" Killian demanded, looking at him with frustrated confusion,

"... If you didn't notice the difference then... It could be that your heart and Amelia's... Are a perfect match" Rumple explained, watching as the pirate captain looked stunned before looking towards Amelia,

"... Soulmates" he murmured,

"I've only read of such magic but it's never been seen. A truly rare form of magic" Rumple told him but Killian soon snatched his heart from Rumple's hand and placed his hook upon the glowing surface,

"... I must be bloody insane to think of trying this" Killian said more to himself before using his hook to split the heart in half causing him to wince slightly in pain as Rumple could only watch stunned as he placed one half over his own chest whilst placing the other over Amelia's,

"... You say your heart is mine, love... I gave mine to you long ago... I was just too bloody scared to tell you" Killian whispered before shoving both pieces back within his and Amelia's chest and he watched desperately,

"... Please work" he begged,

"... Please" Killian prayed as he held Amelia's hand within his own and smiled brightly when Amelia's eyes flew open and she gasped for breath,

"...Wh... what happened?..." Amelia murmured in confusion before looking towards Killian whom instantly moved forward and kissed her passionately, Amelia was only too happy to return the gesture before pulling back and smiling at him brightly, cupping his cheek,

"I was trying to tell you... I love you, Killian" she whispered causing him to chuckle as tears of happiness fell down his cheeks,

"I love you too" he told her, pressing a kiss to her forehead just as Amelia looked towards Rumple,

"... Papa..." she whispered softly as Killian moved aside so that Rumple was able to move forward and hug her tightly, smiling as he felt her hug him back in just as tight a hold,

"Oh teacup... I thought I'd lost you" Rumple whispered,

"... I'm sorry I was so mean to you papa... I just wanted you to stop and think" Amelia murmured, burying her face in his shoulder,

"I know dear heart, I know" he told her soothingly and Killian couldn't help but smile at the loving moment between father and daughter.


You didn't really think I was going to kill off Amelia, Did you? Review For the final chapter!
