Once again I do not own Once Upon a Time
Emma was startled awake by the sound of russling. She sat up and looked around to see all the wolves asleep on their beds apart from one wolf missing from their bed. She saw that one of the dwalf wolves was missing and saw it was Leory. She quietly got out the bed and tried not to wake Killian. She followed the sound of russling and saw Leory going through everyones bags.
"Leroy." She asked as he gasped and span round.
"Beta! I...I'm sorry... I... I don't know what I'm looking for." He stuttered as he put done the bag and ran past Emma. She grabbed his collar and looked into his eyes to see a deep colour of red within the normal glow of brown eyes. She frowned and let him go.
"Go to bed." She grumbled as he ran off to his bed. She huffed as looked out the cave. It was still dark but Emma could see every detail thanks to her wolf's sight, she went to the edge and sat down on the corner and looked as she felt the pull of transformion from the moon as it called to her wolf, who was looking for threats in the wildness. Her mind turned to her brother, the happy and upbeat little boy who used to demand Emma to transform just so he called pet her and tell her how good she was. She remembered how her wolf used to melt at the little boys' feet and treated him like he was her pup. Her wolf whined as she felt Emma's pain for the little boy that they both loved.
"Emma?" She turned round to see Regina sit next to her and put a helping hand on her shoulder. Emma slighty bowed her head to the Alpha, as a sign of respect. " What's wrong?" Emma sighed and looked over the stars as they burned in the dark sky.
"Leroy was going through everyone's bags, he woke me up. Seemed to be looking for something, he was jumping when I said his name. Also there was a slight red tint to his eyes to his normal brown eyes if that means anything to you." Regina looked over the forest and frowned.
"Red tint you say?" Emma nodded and Regina rubbed her forehead.
"I'll talk to Robin and get Bell to read up on it. In the meantime, I'll ask David to keep an eye open on him." Emma hummed and closed her eyes. "Thats not it though, is it?" Emma raised her eyebrows and looked at the Alpha. "Emma, come on. I've known you for years. I know if your thinking about something else." Emma sighed and put her head in her hands.
"I was thinking about Neal." Regina sighed and put a hand on Emma's shoulder. Understanding how hard it has been for Emma. "Its been 11years Regina. We shouldnt have left him, we shouldn't have...he was powerless..." Emma felt the tears down her face.
"Emma...Neal wouldnt want you to be upset about this. He would want you to be happy and live you life to the fullest with our pack and your mate." With that, Killian appeared in the moonlight and nodded to Regina, who nodded back and let go of her shoulder for Killian to wrap Emma in his arms and rested his head onto of hers.
"Regina is right love. Take it from a wolf who lost their brother, they wouldnt want you to be upset about it. Only remember the good times, he would like that." Emma sniffed the tears and closed her eyes and took a breath of Killian and the night time woodland. She sighed and opened her eyes to look up at the glowing stars.
"Thank you. He wouldnt want me to be sad." She whispered and she felt Killian's arms tighten around her as she felt safe and protect.
"I'm going back to bed, we move at dawn." Regina said as she span on her heel and disappeared into the darkness of the cave. Killian sighed and closed his eyes, he felt the mate bond hum as tighen his arms around her.
"You know, if you hug me any tighter im going to disappear." Emma chuckled and Killian slighty undid his grip.
"Sorry love, but my wolf didnt want anyone to comfort his mate apart from me and him, even if its the Alpha. I felt that you were gone and your pain hit me. I thought you were in trouble." Emma sighed and she lent into him.
"You'd know if I was in trouble." Killian growled as he tightened his grib again.
"I dont want to find out Swan." He growled out. Emma patted his arm around her waist and span round with his arms still around her.
"Never do I." She whispered. She lay her head on his hest and breathed in the protection of Killian and his smell of the sea and rum. "Do you fancy a run?" She smirked looking up at his deep ocean eyes. Killian could see the twingle of a challenge in her eyes and raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"Really love, at this hour?" Emma barked a laugh as she felt her wolf wanting to escape. She got out of his arms and walked to the edge of the cave and turned facing Killian who had crossed his arms shaking his head.
"Catch me if you can Jones." She barked as she span round and jumped off the cave and called the change. Her wolf quickly came and caught herself and ran down the mountain side. She yipped at the thrill of the run and chase. She risked having a look behind her to see if Killian was catching up with her.
"Really Swan? You doubt me." Killan spoke to her as she felt a nip on her hind as she got to the end of the mountain, she jumped into the forest and weaved between the trees and bushes. She heard Killian behind her laughing as she threw her head back smirking to herself. She then heard no one was following her so she stopped and breathed deeply and crouched low waiting for the attack. Her eyes twingled in the dark woods as she waiting for movement from her mate.
"Too scared Killian?" She giggled as she scanned the forest for glowing blue eyes. She heard movement behind her and saw glowing blue eyes running toward her.
"Not scared love." He barked a laugh as he jumped at her and she stepped to the side as he missed her and went into a tree. Emma barked a laugh and he stood up and shook himself off. Emma watched as he raised one of his eyebrows and his eyes shone in the darkness of the woods. "Granted my wolf needs practise on stalking." He huffed as he walked over to her. Emma bumped his chin with her nose and leaned on him, feeling the closeness of the mate bond. Killian rested his head ontop of Emma's head and hummed feeling content.
"You know Killian?" Killian closed his eyes, listening to his mate. "I've never been this happy." Emma lay down and looked at the moon and every detail of the dark greys and light greys. Killian lay next to her and lay his down on her front legs.
"Aye, love. I am the same. Being stuck in those bloody cells, I never knew I had a future until you came. So thank you Swan." Emma smiled and lay her head on Killian and sighed. They lay like this until the sky started to get lighter and there was a howl in the distence from Regina. Both wolves perked up at the sound and jumped on their feet.
"I suppose its moving time." She licked his chin and dashed through the forest once more in the direction of the pack. She heard that Killian was right behind her as they climbed up to the cave to meet all the pack transforming. Regina walked over to them in wolf form and Robin followed.
"Ok, I want Emma with me and Killian, your with Robin and David scouting for anything that can cause any harm to the pack. Emma we will be leading to way because we know where we are going." All the wolves nodded and Regina addressed the pack. "OK wolves, I dont want silly pup behaviour on our jorney. I want all of you to be on your guard per usual. I want the fighters around the outside of the group. Remember to howl if there is problems. Everyone ready?" All wolves nodded and they turned to go out the cave when a dark figuare was standing in the entrance. All wolves growled and Killian jumped infront of Emma, snarling and his back arched.
"Well, hello to you too dearie's." The figuared laughed as the sun hit the shadow to reveal Rumple's green and scaly complexion. His dull green eyes scanned to pack who was snarling and going in a circle to protect eachother. Emma moved next to Regina, who had Robin infront of her, carefully watching for sudden movements. "Hello Miss Mills, Miss Swan." Rumple smirked when he saw them. Robin then growled as Rumple jumped down and was nearly skipping toward them. Regina touched Robin's tail and nodded to Emma, who seemed to understand and they both transformed.
"Hello Rumple." Regina said as she walked past Robin who looked worrying between Rumple and Regina.
'Swan, what are you doing?' Killian said to Emma as she walked past him touching his shoulder.
'Stay there, its fine.' She said back to him as she stood next to Regina in front of Rumple.
"Well, Rumple used to be my name. They mostly call me by my more colourful name, The Dark One." He seemed to giggle and he mocked a bow at them. Regina frowned and carefully watched him as he stood straighter and looked around. "Nice cave Regina, its a shame your leaving it." Regina crossed her arms and Emma huffed.
"What do you want Rumple?" Emma asked raising an eyebrow also crossing her arms. Rumple huffed and laughed, looking at Emma.
"Oh Miss Swan, always getting to the point and remaining loyal to the pack." He giggled. "How I remember your screams when that silver hit you. How very funny it was." She heard Killian snarl and snap his mouth at Rumple. Emma's eyes never left Rumple's as she frowned. "This is so very fun Miss Swan as always, but getting to your question. I've come to warn you all." Emma sensed he was telling them the truth about warning them. She turned her head to Regina, who was frowning and looked at the pack. "Cora is not dead." And then there was a out burst of muttering in the back of her head as she heard Regina calming them down.
"How is that possible? I killed her." Regina asked as she walked closer to Rumple. Rumple rolled his eyes and lightly laughed, then he face became deadly serious.
"Cora has great power. She gave herself immortality when you took her heart, she simply disappeared when you crushed it. As we speak she has hidden herself away from the world, even I don't know where she is. But all I know is she is dead set on your demise Miss Mills, as well as you Miss Swan. She'll do anything." Emma crossed her arms and felt that Rumple was telling the truth, the whole truth.
"Why did you come to warn us?" Emma simply asked as she watched scratch the back of his head in nervous.
"I am in dept to you and Miss Mills for saving me when I was a wolf, and now that dept has been paid." Emma tilted her head and Regina turned to her.
"Is he tell the truth Emma?" Emma slowly nodded her head, thinking about the new and old -threat of Cora. "Well Rumple, thank you for pre-warning us about Cora." Rumple nodded and bowed his head.
"I must go. Good bye Miss Mills, Miss Swan. Until the next time dearies." With a flash he disappeared and Emma turned to Regina. She saw Regina huffed and looked up to the ceiling. Emma walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder in a attept to comfort her.
"We will ever be free of my mother?" Regina asked as transformed and walked over to Robin then stood straighter, looking toward the pack. Emma also tranformed and stood next to Killian nudged her shoulder.
"Are you ok love?" He asked to just her as she looked at Regina addressing the pack.
"I'm fine just worried about Regina." She said as Regina began talking to everyone.
"Our plans carry on as usual. Nothing is to change." The whole pack nodded and everyone got ready to go out the cave for their long trip.
