Chapter 8
"KILLIAN" I scream as I rush over to him and just fall right through him. Tears fall down my face when I realize it's not really him. I step back and look him in the eyes, I can see he's all cut up and bleeding but I can't help smile a little when I see him, I'm just so happy to lay eyes on him. "Killian, we're here, I don't know how much time we have but we're trying to find you, I love you, where are you? What do you see?" I ask him quickly. I can see him looking around, like a lost puppy trying to find his way and then he spotted me, our eyes met. He stood up "Emma?" he said softly with a hint of pain "is this a bloody trick?" he shouted out. "No, Killian, I'm here, I love you, I came for you" I responded quickly. "No, no" he said shaking his head backing up. "Killian, look at me, look, at me" Making eye contact with him, "It's me" I tell him with a smile on my face, I'm as close as I can get to him. "Why? Emma, you shouldn't be here" "I'm here for you, I love you, I'm getting you back" I tell him. "No, its dangerous Emma, you need to leave" he says starting to shake "No, I'm not leaving until I find you, tell me where you are" I tell him, he starts to flash again "Killian, we don't have much time, where are you?" "I don't know, there's tunnels, I can't see much" he tells me flashing again, I can tell there's not much time left now. "Killian, I love you, I will find you" "Em- LO- YO..." and that's it, he's gone, drops to the ground. "No, Killian, come back" I yell, crying on my knees on his grave.
"Emma" Mary Margaret said walking toward me. On my knees I held my stomach and just took a min trying to still feel him there but he was gone. "What should we do now?" Henry asked kneeling down and hugging me, "well, Gold said Hades has Killian so I guess we need to find where he's keeping him." I told them. "Oh, really, is that all? And how would you say we accomplish that?" Regina sarcastically asked. "Let's start searching by the woods, Regina, you go talk to your mom and see if she will help at all, Gold, you must have some kind of idea of where they are, don't you?" I asked him. "Underground somewhere, I'm sure I can find him but then there goes your element of surprise and he'll kill Hook before you can even ask him where the pirate is" He replied. "Well, we'll use that as a last resort, lets split up and look in the woods for any underground tunnels or any signs of Killian, he's here somewhere" I tell them and start walking toward the woods. David and I go off together, Mary Margaret and Henry go to ask around town and Robin enters the far side of the woods.
Rushing around the woods looking for any kind of sign of Killian, I have to find him, I slow down and place a hand on my stomach trying to hear something, smell something that will lead me to where Killian is. I hear something from the left, "My mother can't help" Regina said brushing the bushes around. "She's scared of Hades too, she just said he was underground but wouldn't be specific but I'm sensing she knew but she'll be no help" "Damn it" I said. All of a sudden I can hear David calling for me, I run toward him "Emma, there's a tunnel over here, looks like it connects to the tunnels that the dwarfs use." He tells me "Okay, lets go" I reply walking into the tunnel.
Its dark, only a few lights in the tunnels, we try to be as quiet as possible. David, Regina and I hear something far in the distance and quietly pick up our pace. I wonder if we should've tried to text Mary Margaret, Robin or Henry but I doubt our cells work down here. Must've been about 30 minutes of walking when we were able to make out the noise we've been following, it's Killian, he's in pain and he's close.
