Chapter 4: Unknown Motives
Killian ran onto his ship and down to his quarters just as Emma opened the door. He tried to kiss her but she stopped him.
"Mind telling me what the hell just happened here," she asked in a serious tone.
"Emma, it's not what it looked like," he replied. "She was trying to get me to tell her where he kid was, but I kept pushing her away."
"Am I supposed to believe that," Emma asked, clearly unamused.
"It's the truth," Killian nearly yelled. "Look at me; you know that I'm telling the truth."
She looked him in the eyes then sighed. "Fine, you're right, but why would she go to you for that? What really happened between you two?"
"I knew her, but that was a long time ago. It doesn't matter now," He replied.
"It does matter because she's here now. Is she a threat or should we help her find a way back?"
"Just stay away from her. If she wants to go back, she'll leave soon." He sat in his chair, picking his flask up again.
"How would she get back if no one else can," Emma asked.
"She's more resourceful than others," Killian said before drinking from his flask. "Can we stop talking about her now? My flask isn't big enough for this."
She looked at him suspiciously. "Why don't you want to talk about her?"
"There are some things that don't need to be discussed," he replied as he drank more.
"Did she break your heart or something," she sarcastically asked.
"Nothing like that," he said. "I've only had one other love, and you know how well that turned out."
"Then why don't you want me to know what happened? Or should I just ask her instead," Emma asked in a more serious tone.
"Stay as far away from her as you can," Killian nearly growled.
Shocked by his reaction, Emma asked, "why should I?"
"She's already threatened you once; do you really want her to act on that threat," he almost yelled. "Just stay away from her, for your safety and Henry's."
"I've been threatened a lot, especially since I got here. Do you really think I'm afraid of her," Emma slightly raised her voice as she spoke.
"No, but you should be. All those other villains are nothing compared to her. Not even The bloody Dark One would ever try to fight her," Killian angrily yelled.
"If she attacks anyone, do you really think we shouldn't try? You know her better than I do, so you might be able to help us fight, or at least reason with her." Her anger grew with each response he gave.
"If she attacks anyone, don't fighter. She would only go after you next," he replied. "Just stay away from her; it's the best way to not piss her off."
"Why are you and Regina so afraid of her?"
"I've seen how cruel she can be," he replied. His expression suddenly changed from anger to dark and brooding.
"Then tell me," Emma said in a soft, soothing tone.
"Fine, but don't blame me if you get nightmares, Swan," he replied.
At the diner, Violet was finishing her tenth burger and fries meal.
"So, do you plan on staying here for a while, or will you go back soon," Snow asked Alice.
"We might stay here for a while to see how interesting this place can be," Alice replied.
"Yay! I get to eat more burgers," Violet yelled.
Alice laughed. "Yes, you can have as many as you want."
Charming suddenly stood, looking at Alice. "We need to talk," he said in a serious tone.
"If you're trying to intimidate me, it isn't working," Alice said, not looking away from Violet.
"Just follow me," he said in a stern tone.
Alice sighed annoyedly. "Vi, I'll be right back." She stood and walked out the door behind Charming.
They went around the corner to an alley to avoid others.
"What is it," Alice asked.
"What's your real reason for staying here? It can't be the hamburgers," he said.
"That is none of your business. All that you need to know is that I'm not here for you or your family, so try not to cause any trouble," she replied.
His anger grew. "You may not be here for us, but you're here for someone or something, so tell me. I can help you find what you're looking for so you can leave quickly."
Alice chuckled. "What makes you think that I'm here for something specific?"
"You and I both know that you wouldn't have just let some spell take you to another land. Why did you come here?"
Alice turned to walk away. "You should be more concerned with your family. They need you, and you need to stay out of my way."
"If you threaten them," David began to say.
"You'll what? You can't harm me, and neither can anyone else in your family. What I do is none of your business, so let's just leave it at that," she said before walking back to the diner.
Emma sat down in shock. "So…she really did that?"
"Aye," Killian said with a nod.
"But, if she's so cruel, why didn't Mom think so?"
He shrugged. "Maybe Ali helped her. If she did, she there's no way of knowing why."
"What about her kid," Emma asked. "Is she..?"
"Is she what? A monster," Killian asked.
"No," she replied. "Is she yours?"
He frowned. "Why the bloody hell would you think that?"
"You told me about your past with her, so it could have happened," she said.
"It didn't. I don't know who the kid's father is, but he might be dead already," Killian angrily said.
"Why would she kill him? She obviously cares about Violet, and you said that she has motives for everything she does. Why should that be any different? What if she just wanted to have a kid with someone she loves," Emma replied.
"I don't know what her motive for that was, and I don't care. All I know is that she and Violet need to get the hell out of Story Brooke."
