Chapter 8: Oaths and blood
Disclaimer: nope, still not mine
David looked over at the Jill who was sitting next to him in the front seat of his truck. It had taken some convincing to get the captain inside but she had been ensured that this was the fastest way to Jack. Now that he was right next to her David noted that Jill wasn't as intimidating up close. The twelve year old was smaller than he had originally realized, probably because of her coats and heeled boots he noted. Jill was looking out the window lost in thought but rubbing her wrists. Another thing that confused David. Why did Jill's wrists cause her so much pain?
Feeling the prince's eyes on her Jill spoke. "I know the Back of my head must be fascinating but would you mind keeping your eyes on the path. The sooner I'm out Of this death trap of a carriage the better." Nodding David turned his attention back to the road
"Jack mentioned you two were sisters. But she said that you weren't related. Why are you sisters then?" Jill turned and glared at David
"That is none of your buisness. But if you must know, more than blood makes a family. Jack and I have been together for more time than you could imagine." David chuckled
"Yes, 5 years is such a long time." He muttered. Jill eyes filled with hatred.
"Five years? Try 51 Princey. I'm a lot older than I look and I'm sick of being judged because of my appearance." David froze.
"you're over 60 years old? How?" Jill laughed
"Didn't your parents ever tell you it's rude to comment on someone's age? And once again it's my business how I remained so young. Not yours." David cleared his throat.
"We're here." After pulling in David walked around and opened the door for Jill who pushed him out the way.
"I'm not a prissy princess. I don't need your help." Jill said strutting to the door and attempting to open it. David chuckled as he walked over and unlocked it. Jill glared at him before entering.
"Dad? Is that you, oh." Emma froze when she saw Jill. Glaring at Emma, Jill drew her sword
"Give. Jack. To me. Now" she ordered. David entered the room and looked apologetically at Emma mouthing 'sorry' Emma rolled her eyes and cleared her throat.
"I'm afraid I can't let Jack go with you. You assaulted and severely injured a man. You're under arrest." Jill looked at David outraged
"You lied to me! I was told I would get my sister back!" Henry heard the commotion and entered the room.
"Mom? What's going on?" Emma looked over at Henry
"Henry, will you please go get Jack for me?" Nodding confused Henry left and returned a few minutes later with the blonde five year old.
"Jill!" The little girl shouted running up to the captain and engulfing her in a hug. David, Henry and Emma were surprised when Jill returned the gesture.
"Hey sparrow. Causing trouble again?" Jill teased. Jack blushed
"The mean man wouldn't take my coins for his bread. So I took it." Nodding Jill turned to Emma.
"She did nothing wrong. Let me guess, she was my bait?" Emma looked sheepish.
"You severely injured Killian." She stated Jil chuckled
"Killed. I killed hook." Emma nodded.
"Right. Now come as I said earlier, you're under arrest." Jill spun out of Emma's grasp.
"Or, I leave Storybrook now and never return." David crossed his arms
"Why should we let you do that?" Jill rolled her eyes
"please, I never wanted to stay in this town. However, if you lock me up, I can assure you that sparrow here will certainly alert my crew. Somehow I doubt that you want a crew of angry pirates invading this land." Emma shrugged
"You can't cross the portal." Jill glared
"So you're telling me that you would lock me up and leave my sister here all alone in a land of strangers? And You call me a villain." She spat. Emma hesitated.
"Fine, you may leave with Jack. Today. and I never want to see you in Storybrook again " Jill smiled victoriously down at her sister
"Hear that Jackie? We're going home!" Jack laughed and cheered pulling on Jill's arm to get her to move faster. Once they left the office, David turned to Emma
"Why did you let her go?" Emma sighed
"I couldn't bear the thought of abandoning Jack. She's just a child. She needs her family," Emma was cut of by the sound of an ear piercing scream outside. Grabbing her coat Emma ran outside with David and Henry at her heels. Greeting their eyes was a terrifying sight. Jill was lying unmoving on the sidewalk with Jack screaming into her sisters chest
"Jill! Jill wake up! This isn't funny! Jill!" Emma gently walked over and attempted to comfort the young girl as David checked for a pulse on Jill.
"She's alive." He stated "her pulse is weak, but it's there" Emma turned to Henry
"Henry call 911 tell them to bring an ambulance to the sheriffs office."
