Emma broke from the kiss, breathless and smiling like a idiot, she looked at Hook's glowing blue eyes, they reminded her of the ever changing blue sea with its many changing colours. She sighed contently and lay her head on his chest and felt her wolf hum, happy that she felt the strength of the mate bond. Emma then releaised how strong she felt with Killian around. She felt Killian around her tighten and felt him kiss the top of her head.
"I better check on Regina, make saw she's ok." She said looking up at Killian. He nodded and smiled.
"Do you mean we, love? I'm not leaving your side ever." Emma smiled and quickly kissed his cheek.
"Sorry, I mean we better check on Regina." Killian chuckled and they both turned on the direction where Regina and Robin were. Emma then felt the absence of Killian's touch and suddenly felt sad. Killian grabbed her hand and she felt better straight away. She frowned at her own emotions as they saw Regina and Robin still talking very close. Robin held Regina's hand to his lips and stared loving into her eyes as she smiled and laughed at something he said. "Mind if we join you?" Emma asked as she got close to them. Robin quickly looked over and went next to Regina staright away, still holding her hand. Regina stood straighter and then saw Killian.
"How are you alive?" Regina raised an eyebrow and then looked at Emma's and Killian's hands. "Am i missing something?" She questioned. Killian looked at Emma and chuckled. He let go of her hand and shook hands with Regina then Robin's.
"Hi Regina, long time no see. I am indeed alive, Cora kept me alive in her cells, I have no idea why." Regina nodded and sighed
"I'm sorry Killian for being one of her pawn's in her game." Killian chuckled and but his hands behind his back.
"Don't apoise for her Regina. It wasnt your fault." Regina nodded and looked down.
"Anyway, is there something you need to tell me Emma?" She wiggled her eyebrow at Emma and laughed.
"Ummm, we are mates, it turns out to be." She laughed nervously and looked at Killian who was chuckling and grabbed her hand. Regina turned to Robin and he nodded.
"Why don't you go with Robin, Killian. I want to speak with Emma, if thats ok?" Killian nodded and kissed Emma's head and walked away with Robin. "What did she do?" Regina asked in a serious tone, when they were out of earshot.
"No, no don't you dare Regina." Emma said, looking at her long time friend who looked sad and angry. "Don't you dare beat yourself about this, it wasn't your fault. Cora was evil and twisted." Regina sighed and sat down against the tree.
"But she was my mother Emma, i should of listened to you that day and crushed her heart there and then. But being a coward I chickened out, I could of stopped all of this." Emma sat next to her friend and held her hand.
"Look at me Regina. We were only 11 then. Look what you did without your mother. We lived through everything she threw at us, you have a pack, a mate and you have me. Don't dwell in the past, my friend. Live for now." Emma felt her wolf feel proud of her. Regina nodded and raised a eyebrow.
"When did you get so good in speeches?" Emma laughed and rubbed the back of her head.
"Just now apparently." Regina shooked her head and held onto Emma's hand harder.
"But thank you Emma, your right. I am Alpha, I should worry about the pack and not dwell on the past." She shood up dragging Emma with her.
"And me and Robin and worry about you." Emma chuckled. Regina turned round and held Emma's shoulder.
"Thank you, my friend, my Beta, my fighter. You are truly one out a million." Emma bowed head.
"Thank you my Alpha." She simply said. Regina then disappeared and appeared in 4 legs. She howled, a sign for all the pack to retreat to her in their wolf forms. Emma sighed and called the change and appeared on 4 legs. "Killian?" She shouted he then appeared on 4 legs next to Robin sprinting toward them. Emma went up to him and they bumped noses.
"What's up Love?" He asked standing next to her, so close that their fur touched.
"Regina's called a pack meeting." Killian nodded and watched as the pack appeared all on 4 legs and Ruby stood next to Emma.
"Hi Emma, how are you feeling?" She asked bumping Emma's chin as a sign of Emma's being in a higher rank that Ruby in the pack.
"I'm feeling fine Ruby, dont worry." Ruby glanced over to Killian and coughed.
"He's even more tall, dark and handsome as a wolf. You choose good Emma." She barked a laugh. Emma huffed and shook her head at Ruby.
"Thanks Ruby." Regina stood of them and looked at Emma and moutioned her to stand next to her. Emma nodded and looked at Killian, who nodded and followed her.
"As you know pack, today we have our Beta back." There was a howl from everyone which made Emma's heart beat quicker. "And her mate Killian Jones." All the wolves bowed their heads and Killian bowed his head back. "The hunter Cora, has finally been killed. But a pressing issue is where we will live now, since we have always moved from one place to another. Do not worry, I know of a abanded camp site in the Entchanted forest near a place called Storybrooke were we can live. There are many houses and the town isnt far away. Then track will be a 4 day trip there." Emma looked at Regina then back down. She knew of this place, its where Regina and her had lived before everything had happened. She looked down at her parents who was listening to Regina. Mary Margret had jet black hair and glowing green eyes she was just abit smaller than David but, just like Emma, she was faster. David had light brown fur with glowing blue eyes and was strong and good fighting skills, also like Emma. They had also lived there before they disappeared without any notice. They claimed that they had be kidnapped by the hunters that had travelled through. All Emma remembered was feeling alone and selfless. She still hurt about that and always thought they didnt want her. She was only 4 at the time. She felt a nudge on her shoulder, she looked up to see Killian look worrying down at her.
'Everything ok love?' He asked to only her. Emma nodded and looked back at her parents who was looking at Regina nodding to everything she was saying.
'Yes Killian. Don't worry just thinking to myself.' Killian huffed and she knew he didnt believe her. Emma slowly shook her head and looked at Regina, who had stopped.
"Anything to add Emma as we travel?" Emma looked at the pack, she knew who was a fighters and who was fast.
"I want everyone to stay together and i want no one left behind." Regina nodded and turned to Robin.
"If everyone comes with me to collect their stuff." He turned and sprinted off with the rest of the pack. Regina turned to Emma and raised her eyebrow.
"Do you think i made the right choose?" Emma nodded as they stared walking.
"Yes, but why Storybrooke? I would of thought you never want to go back." Regina tilted her head to the side.
"I'm kinda sick of moving around now. I want to settle down now." Killian laughed and both the wolves turned to look at him with an eyebrow raised.
"Also known as settle down with Robin." Regina huffed and rolled her eyes.
"Yes Killian." Emma shook her head and breathed in deeply, feeling her ribs had healed. She watched as the sun began to set. "We better go to the cave before it get dark." All the wolves nodded and sprinted toward the cave.
When they got to the cave, someone had been hunting and had caught a deer and was roasting on a spit for everyone. They were all hudled around the fire and was quietly talking to eachother. Emma, Killian and Regina transformed and made their way to the fire. Killiam grabbed Emma's hand and smiled at her. Emma smiled back and they sat on a log and watched the flames rise and fall.
"Emma?" Mary Margeat sat next to her and David followed in suit. "Can we please talk?" Emma sighed and looked at Killian who had raised his eyebrow at her and looking at them.
'These wolves are my parents.' She said to him through her mind. He sharply looked at her and slowly stood up.
"I'll leave you to it." He kissed Emma's forehead. 'We are talking about this after.' Emma rolled her eyes as he sat next to Ruby who weakily smiled up at him.
"What do you want to talk about?" She asked, her voice keeping monotone. She didint want her emotions to show up.
"Firstly about that day." Mary Margaret said slowly as David sat the other side of Emma.
"Please understand Emma, that we never ment to get kidnapped and we left you. It happened..." Emma rolled her eyes as David tried to explain.
"Hunting yeah I know. But who leaves a 4 year old pup alone with a baby pup without any parent." She said tearing up as she remembered how it felt to think your parents left you. "I felt alone and abanded. None of the wolves explained what happened to you and never looked after us then just ignored us. Do you know what that was like? I cried every night and in the day I stood at the edge of the bountry waiting for you and hoping. Neal cried all the time and I had to look after him." Emma felt tears going down her cheeks she put her face in her hands and tried to hide the fact she was crying. She heard Mary Margaret sniff.
"I'm so sorry Emma." Mary Margaret cried out and hugged Emma's back. "We never meant for it to happen." She whispered. Emma sniffed and stood up and looked at her parents with tears still falling down her face.
"I'm sorry aswell." She then turned her back on them and to the side of the cave and sat against it as she watched Killian run over and sit next to her and grabbed her head and lay it on his lap. She closed her eyes until she heard footsteps to see David infront of them.
"She doesnt want to talk mate. Can't you see she's upset as it is." David shook his head and looked at Emma. She sat up and wiped her eyes and touched Killian thigh.
"Its ok Killian, can you get me some food please?" He nodded and went to the fire to collect food. Emma turned her attention to David who pointed next to her.
"Can I sit there?" He asked, Emma nodded and her slid next to her. "I understand that you had hurt Emma and still hurt about this. But please understand our side. We were kidnapped away from you and Neal and we missed you both growing up, terrible toddler years, and teenage years and becoming a value member of the pack. We missed you and Neal's first shift as a wolf and I was going to teach you both hunting and fighting and your mother would tell us off for staying out too long." He chuckled and looked down at his hands. "And I was going to beat up any boys who touched my little girl. We missed it all, it still upsets us and to see you upset and disant from us, it kills Emma. Just please promise you'll think about it." With that he stood up and walked over to Mary Margret. With that Killian walked back holding a dish of meat and some bread.
"You ok, Emma?" He asked as he sat next to her holding her food out. Emma shrugged and grabbed the food and slowly ate, looking into the dish as her wolf called for her to continute to eat.
"I'm ok, just trying to understand everything. They want me to think of their side of the story. All I remember is being left and it hurt." Killian sighed and wrapped his arm around her.
"Don't worry love, I understand. My father left me and my brother when we were pups. All because the hunters were close to catching us and didnt want to get caught." He put his head down and Emma looked up at him, feeling his pain about it all. He then put his head up and smiled at her. "I'm glad that Liam was able to convince a near by human family to bring us in." Emma could feel grief coming from him and she lay her head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry Killian." She whispered and he breathed in deeply and stroked her head.
"Love, can I ask you a question?" She put her head up and nodded at him. "Who was your brother?" Emma looked down remembering a plump little boy who was always laughing and smiling.
"His name was Neal. I was 4 years older than him. He was always a happy little boy, laughing and smiling, always asking of hugs. But then when he was 6..." She remembered the day like it was yesterday and felt the tears in her eyes. "...me, Regina and Neal ran away from the pack and we told him to wait on a rock for us and he pleaed for me to stay with him because he didnt want to stay by himself. But we told him that he would be fine and I was close so for him to shout if he needed me. Regina ran off in one direction and I went in another direction. For about 10minutes everything was quiet then Regina howled a warning that she smelt hunters around and I ran back to Neal to find Cora holding him by the throat shouting at him about her heart. He was crying and then saw me and was shouting 'Eme!', Cora then turned around with him still in her hands and she started shouting at me about her heart..." She started crying as she remembered Neal's face with Cora's hands around is throat. "...she then started screaming when Neal began crawling at her arms and she looked into my eyes and she faced Neal and grabbed his heart out of his chest and dropped his heartless body as he was panting and trying to grab it. I ran over and began crying holding his body as Cora stood over his body holding his heart then turned to me and laughed 'a heart for a heart' then crushed it. He then went limp on me and then all I remember was Cora vanishing and Regina running over as I held him, crying." Killian put their food down and quickly grabbed Emma and picked her up onto his lap hugging her tightly.
"I'm so sorry, love. Shhh shhhh, its ok." Emma was crying so hard she could speak and began hicupping. KIllian held her until she calmed down and wiped her eyes.
"I'm sorry. It just hurts." Killian sighed and stroked her hair.
"I understand Swan, losing a loved one hurts and Cora killing a child in cold blood is beyond horrible. I'm sorry he died and you witnessed it at such a young age." Emma uncoiled herself from Killian and yawned. "Where are the beds?" Emma pointed to the back of the caves and he saw foldable single beds was bags around them. He stood up and grabbed Emma's hand, pulling her up. They walked to the beds and Emma led him to hers which was abit away from everyone elses. Killian sighed and got in and moved right over and Emma slid next to him. They both looked at eachother, holding hands.
"Don't leave me." Emma whispered as Killian kissed her forehead.
"Never, my love." She sighed and found his lips. It was a light peck as she got confatable and closed her eyes. Killian watched her and hugged her close. "Good night my love." He whispered as he closed his eyes and the darkness comsumed him too.
