The Bird and the Captain
CS, AU fanfiction
Chapter 5:
They both had a great time tonight at the bar. Now they both walk through the forest. He likes to bring her home and know she is safe. Talking about what happened to Emma two centuries ago, about Neal and her two friends.
About Isbel that got bitter towards men and sits in the cave day in day out, only getting out twice a month. Emma couldn't be hiding in the cave all day, she needed to get out and feel the fresh air through her hair, water on her feet. She didn't wanted to be trapped even after what happened.
"I know you are hurt before, but I will never hurt you. You can trust me love." She had to smile at that. "Killian I know, just be patient."
"How is Isbel going to react once she knows you meet up with a handsome looking guy like me?" he points at himself with a cocky smile present on his face.
"She will not like you. At first anyway, but she has to deal with it." "Kinda seems like a sea monster, you can't imagine how cranky they can be." She looks at him from the side. "Seriously?" "I almost lost my other hand."
"How long have you been alive? I bet you where once a kid?" Killian asks her. "Yeah a thousand years ago." He isn't shocked at all. He rather had one million in mind.
They enter the lake, want to say goodbye to each other as water comes up boiling and hits Killian. Throwing him against a tree. The tree makes a loud crack noice, but stays upright.
"GO AWAY!" Isbel is furious. She makes the water boil as he never has seen before.
"Isbel stop! If you want to hurt him you have to go through me first!" She stands before Killian now, who touches his head with his hand, blood on it as he brings his hand down.
"Every man is the same as all the others. They will kill us eventually. He will kill you when he get's the change, just like Neal did to Marbel and Cailida." She looks at Killian, anger present on her face.
"I know it is hard to understand and to believe, I did too at first. But he, Killian is different. He will not try to hurt me or you. He isn't lying. I used my superpower." She tries to calm Isbel. "You do not want to hurt him, you are not a murderer."
Killian stands up, he knows he better can not move forward or she will boil him like soup.
"Killian wait here." Emma walks over towards Isbel, takes her hand and they both turn into blackbirds and fly off into the trees.
"How could you be so stupid Emma?" "I'm not stupid, rather quite smart actually." And she walks over towards the wooden chair and takes place in it. Isbel still standing.
"People change over time. It is two hundred years later, two centuries. People change. Believes change. Not everyone is bad, not all humans are."
They both look at each other like only women can do when having an argument. "And it comes from my mouth and I don't believe I'm saying this, but it is time to move on."
"You really believe he will not be like Neal? Like those horrible men, those people?" "We have to trust him. I do. He isn't lying."
"Fine, go to him. I will behave from now one. But if he ever tells someone about us I am gonna kill him." And they both had to laugh about that. "I will make sure he will not talk." And she smiles at Isbel.
Hook was still waiting for Emma to return. He has waited for over an hour for her to return. He is soaked and has a painful head. "I need some rum."
He takes the bottle of rum from his pocket and takes a sip from it. That is when he sees a bird land close to him, and she chances into herself again.
"Sorry about that." "No problem love. It is understandable after what you told me about what happened centuries ago." Emma wants to say something but is cut of by him. "Your secret is safe with me."
"I know. I trust you."
I will write two more chapters. I am kinda running out of idea's to keep going, but the end will be worth it. :)
