When we woke up, well needless to say we were tied up and pulled along, though I was separated from Snow and Emma cause of my attire not that I really cared. I looked at the horses and the women on them wondering where they were taking us and I didn't like it. We ended up in a village of survivors but just as usual me and Snow were were fighters once we could get it. Though we didn't get far as we were thrown in a pit and Snow was unconscious.
"Is she alright?" Amira asked Emma
Emma was panicking checking on her but Snow wasn't waking at least for now. I got in my pocket finding my hidden knife in my attire using it to cut my ropes. When suddenly I noticed a woman in the background.
"Need help?" She asked
"Who are you?" Emma asked her
"A friend." The woman said but when she came out of the way and came into view I knew who she was.
"Cora" Amira said
Cora checked over my sister and I stayed back watching her putting my knife away for now. I knew better then to trust this woman but my concern wasn't needed with Emma around. Cora checked on snow assuring us that she'd be fine. Cora looked up at me seemingly noticing the way I was dressed.
"Hello Amira or should I call you Selena Marriott?" Cora said
"You can call me whatever you want, now tell me where are we?" Amira asked
"It's a little island, our captors like to think of as their haven." Cora said
In a way that made sense to me with Regina's curse and people afraid. Remember me, I was afraid of Regina it's why I ran off with Killian and the crew and I kept my secrets to myself except sharing with Killian when I felt the time was right. Emma was more curious than I was on what that meant.
"Haven? From what?" Emma asked
"The world's dangers, what's left of it anyway." Cora said
I walked off looking for a way to escape and Cora was probably watching me as she may of figured out I carried my own burdens now a days. Cora was talking with Emma about things that happened not that I really cared my main concern was getting out of here finding Killian which sounded easier then it sounded. Cora snuck up behind me turning me around to face her and seeing I wasn't here for myself.
"So you're the one." Cora said
"The one?" Amira aske
"You're not here to be back, you're looking for your captain." Cora said
"And so what if I am?" Amira asked
"He's alive and he's looking for you. By the way your positively glowing. Congratulations." Cora said
"If you say anything to him before I do, You'll regret it." Amira said
I went back by Snow and Emma, the last thing I wanted was another second with that woman as she followed us. When I was going to say something a rope was thrown down and the man above stated their leader wanted an audience so we climbed up. I really didn't want Cora anywhere near me or my unborn child as we walked with the man. I mainly listened while people stared at me and we were told to stay still as within seconds the leader showed himself.
"Lancelot?" Snow said
The man walked over "Snow" He said as I watched my sister and this man hug each other.
Watching my sister smile from knowing a friend with a laugh was just something else but maybe it was me. I wasn't used to those things anymore, but then not many knew the pirate Selena Marriott was really Amira white so go figure on my part.
"If I'd have known that you were the prisoners Mulan had brought back. I never would of locked you away but wait this is the pirate Selena Marriott." Lancelot said
"That's just her Alias, she's my sister Amira. Remember I told you my sister ran off to be a pirate to avoid my step mother." Snow said
"I see. Please forgive me." Lancelot said
"Of course" Snow said
I noticed we were being watched by the princess Aurora and Mulan, needless to say we were put at a table where all the food was set out. Chimera was one of the things and considering when you're on a pirate ship it's not actually an option. I knew what Lancelot said about the Chimera being one part Lion, One part Serpent and one part Goat. Listening to them talk I knew this land wasn't supposed to exist anymore but it was here while Emma seemed more confused.
"You should eat, you'll need your strength." Lancelot said to me
I wonder if everyone could see it here and when I reunited with Killian would he notice too. Still I did eat some while listening to my sister talk about needing to find a way back home. It'd be nice to go home and take Killian with us but how could I mention him to anyone? What I didn't know is Cora had him watching from a distance so he probably knew I was there.
Soon we packed up getting everything we needed for the journey ahead, I never thought I'd return home again after Snow's wedding as I walked with them. I had a lot of plans to do but helping getting a way home was good because land, this land was too much for the child I would have someday. The travel was long and I ended up sitting with Emma while Snow and Mulan got things together.
"So why did you jump in with us?" Emma asked
"I wanted to find someone, the man I fell in love with." Amira said
"You fell in love?" Emma asked
"I did, I'm also kinda carrying his child but I am planning to tell him when I find him." Amira said
Soon it was dark where we were but Emma became protective of Snow as we noticed Aurora tried to attack snow. Emma used the gun to get her to back off but that was a mistake as we had to run to avoid Ogres. Emma fell and we had to stay back but Snow got in there using her arrows to protect Emma showing no fear. I watched as Snow took it down with one arrow which was impressive but we went home making our way to the castle. Walking in it was like my whole childhood flashed before my eyes things I had that I'd given up for a dream and a man.
"Something wrong pirate?" Aurora asked
"Actually, this was my home. I'm Amira White." Amira said to her
I walked behind Snow and Emma going to the room that was meant for emma's room. The unicorns were beautiful above a crib and everything was in tact. Aurora and Mulan left but I listened to Snow going over the things she wanted to do. Things I would be able to do with my child someday but it was weird. Lancelot showed up as we were looking at the wardrobe knowing it's powers was limited not all of us could go back through it but then we ended up figuring out that it wasn't lancelot it was Cora pretending to be lancelot. Emma in the last moment lit the wardrobe on fire but I knew we'd find a way to go back.
Walking back, I stayed quiet wondering when I'd see him in truth Killian had become my obsession to get back to in a way. Maybe it was the baby growing that made me more wanting to see him then anything but still there was part of me that liked this time with my sister. When we made it back to the Camp it looked like it'd been Ambushed, in fact walking around it didn't seem like there were any camp was destroyed and the way that the people looked it was clear their hearts were taken out.
'Cora caused all these people to suffer but she left her imprint of their hearts being taken out. It's reckless that's for sure even Regina didn't leave that much to be noticed.' Amira thought
Emma was looking around to see if there were maybe any survivors, I doubted their would be considering the mess Cora made. Then she noticed someone had a hand out under a pile of bodies now I had to admit that it was pretty easy to say this couldn't of been a mistake. Though I was merely watching to see who was the poor soul to hide under dead bodies, something in me felt like it wasn't right.
Aurora went over with Mulan moving the bodies from the person who was buried. I really didn't give a care at the time as I walked around but then I heard the man's voice and stopped.
"Please Help me." Killian said
I'd recognize that voice anywhere, he could fool many people but not me as I looked back seeing him in rags. I couldn't expose him considering I lived by the pirate code but when the group left us alone he dropped the act smirking at me.
"Hello Luv, good to see you again." Killian said
"Hello Captain, tell me when do you play the victim? Why is Cora here and what happened to coming back for me?" Amira asked
Killian put his hand under my chin and smirked still as he leaned close to my ear "I had every intention to rescue you Amira, but you even said Regina wouldn't live up to her end of the deal."
It was true I had said that and he knew that more than anyone. He knew me well to know I would know my own wicked stepmother than anyone. Every part of me said to kiss him but I knew we had to keep the act up at least for now.
I know what your thinking, I should of just came out and said it but what fun would that be to just say it when he was under an act.
