Chapter four
The group is back at the charming loft now with Henry and Vincent waiting for Regina to finish preparing the pixie flower. Son enough it was ready. Regina sprinkled the dust over Emma and told her to focus on Killian, a door appeared in front of them, but there was something wrong the door wasn't solid it seemed to be fading away. The group exchanged worried looks as Emma frantically opened the door. On the other side was a beach surrounded by jungle with the cheers of young boys in the distance. Neverland. Emma liked down and there was Killian lying in the sand, a bloody arrow embedded inside.
"Killian!" shouted Emma in shock of the state he was in, "No! oh please no you can't leave me, no Killian please!"
The sand under him has turned red with blood. Emma dropped to her knees beside Killian scooping him up in her arms, holding back tears, and rushing him back through the portal that was nearly faded by now.
As she came through the portal the rest of the group looked in shock and panic at the bloodied unconscious Killian in Emma's arms.
" Oh my god," spoke Regina barely able to comprehend the sight before her.
" Quick get him on the bed!" Snow says frantically.
"What on earth happened?" asked David
"I don't know, he was just lying there." responses Emma she can't stop the tears now, they stream uncontrollably down her face.
Vincent, being a trained doctor, pulled the arrow from his side and took off Kilian's top to look at Killian's wounds. There were multiple cuts and bruises on his face and one large stab wound from where the arrow pierced him. He looked at the stab wound noticing the black lines on Killian's skin coming from the wound. Being familiar with the lost boys' barbaric ways Vincent knew the arrow had been dipped in Dreamshade
Emma leaned over Killian and put her hand over his wound, there was a white light from her hand and the wound closed
"He should be okay now right?" asked Emma shakily, looking for Vincent to either confirm or deny her deepest fears but deep down knowing what an arrow from a lost boy meant.
Vincent gave Regina a look, avoiding Emma's gaze. How could he bring himself to tell her that the man she loved was certainly dying, the arrow that pierced him had been dipped in Dreamshade and for that, there was no cure, not without paying the steepest of prices. Vincent loved Henry too much to put his mother down that road again, but knowing that Killian had only limited time left he looked up at Emma and shook his head.
Emma turned her head into Henry's chest and sobbed.
Henry put his arm around his mother and squeezes her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her, but stray tears pour down his own face.
Emma suddenly straightened herself up, walked to the table where she had left her gun and jacket.
" Emma what are you doing?" asked Regina in an anxious tone
" I'm gonna make that sea witch wish she had never met me," said Emma, voice like stone, as she put her gun in its holster and made her way to the door. David reached for her arm to try and stop her, but she pulls her arm away.
"Don't try and stop me."
" Emma you can't!" says David trying to reason with her but she moved free of his arm and with a bang shut the door behind her.
