Chapter 7
Emma tossed and turned in her bunk. For the life of her she couldn't get comfortable. She looked over at Henry and he was sound asleep as well as her parents. She quietly got out of bed and made her way above deck for some fresh air. The warm Neverland air hit her immediately and she went to the side of the ship. The water seemed to glow. She looked around the deck and noticed no one was with her, until she looked at the helm and saw Davina looking straight ahead, not paying attention to her. She walked up next to Davina and paused, looking in the same direction she was. They stood in silence for several minutes until Emma couldn't take it anymore. "What did you mean before?"
"You'll have to be more specific Miss Swan." Davina said, not taking her eyes off the horizon.
"About helping me fulfill my destiny. I was under the impression that being the Savior and breaking the curse was my destiny."
Davina smiled and locked the wheel. She turned to Emma. "Miss Swan that was your destiny as far as anyone else is concerned. What I am talking about if your destiny where YOU are concerned." Emma gave her a questioning look. Davina sighed. "Do you really think those in charge would make you the Savior without giving you your happy ending?"
Emma had no idea how to answer it. "But how do you know what my happy ending will be?"
"That is one of the perks of being who I am. I have premonitions." Davina said very mater-of-factly.
"You mean like Gold? Did you plan all of this with him?" Emma asked angrily.
"No Miss Swan. My powers do not work like our dear Rumple's. I can't see everything. It happens spastically, usually when I touch something important. Or in your case, something that belongs to someone important."
"And what of mine did you touch?"
Davina paused and looked at Emma. "My brother."
Break
Davina walked into the pub and instantly saw her brother. They were playing a drinking game and he was winning. She smiled and walked over and tapped him on the shoulder. Killian looked to see who was disturbing him. His look of annoyance quickly faded when he saw her. "Vina!" He spun around and hugged his sister. "Barkeep, another round, and one for this lovely young lady!" He yelled to the man behind the bar.
As soon as they had finished their second round, Davina worked up the courage to do what she came into the bar to do. She looked at her brother as she stood up. "We need to talk." She headed out of the bar towards the docks. Killian followed. They walked in silence for a while, Davina gathering her thoughts.
"What is it Vina?"
She sighed and stopped in her tracks. 'You have to send her back Killian."
Killian looked at his sister dumbfounded. This was not the discussion he saw coming. "What are you talking about?"
Davina looked down at her shoes. "Milah, she can't stay with you."
"I'm sorry, are you trying to tell me what to do?" Killian asked and crossed his arms. "Is the GREAT Davi Jones gong to command me to leave the woman I love to a life she hates?"
Davina waited a minute before answering. "That is not what I am doing, and you thinking that is ridiculous." She stepped towards her brother. "This is a plea. I don't want to see you get hurt Killian." She said the last sentence almost at a whisper.
Killian laughed and hugged his sister. "I'm not going to get hurt Vina. She loves me and I love her."
Davina pushed away from her brother frustrated. "I don't doubt it. But Killian she abandoned her family, her son."
"She had to, she regrets it every day." Killian argued.
"Will you listen to yourself? She didn't have to abandon her son! You let her, after everything I have been through, what you have been through!"
"Enough! How dare you accuse me of doing the same thing to her son that our father did to us!"
"You didn't, SHE DID! You know who I am and what I do Killian!"
"Is that a threat Vina?!"
"No it's a warning! She abandoned her son Killian. If she dies at sea, which being with you she probably will, she goes into the locker. I have no control over it. If you send her back she won't. You won't live knowing she is stuck in a place of fears, and I won't have to live with watching you blame yourself."
Killian looked at his sister in shock. "The locker?" He looked down at his feet and sighed. "I won't send her back Vina." She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. He brought her into his arms and felt her sob.
"Please Killian; you have been through too much. You love her I know this, but she is married. You will find your happy ending. I promise."
He hugged her tighter. 'I won't send her back if she wishes to stay." He paused. "But I will tell her everything you just told me." He kissed the top of her head. "Will that work?"
Davina sighed. She knew Milah wouldn't leave. She loved Killian, but what she loved more was freedom. Davina couldn't tell Killian that she had already seen her death. She also knew that if she tried to stop it, Killian would not survive long enough to meet the stubborn blond she saw in her vision. She hugged Killian as tight as she could, knowing this may be the last time in a long time he would actually want to see her.
