Chapter 8
More Trouble.
We rode towards the Dark Forest, riding fast. Killian was leading and I was not far behind him. We only stopped for food and to sleep. Its been two days since we have been on the road and we finally reached The Dark Forest. Our horses reared as we neared the entrance. I got my horse to calm down, but Killian had no luck and got thrown off practically.
"You alright?" I ask, getting off my horse and running over to Killian as he sat up.
"Yeah I'm fine. I guess we're going to have to walk from here." Killian said.
"I guess so." I said, helping him stand up. We headed into the woods. the crows seemed to squawk at us as we walked. The forest was eerie. I already hated being here. I held onto Killian's hand as we walked.
"This place is starting to creep me out." I said, moving closer to Killian.
"Same here." Killian said. The sound of monkey's catches our ears. Killian pulled me fast into a run. I stumbled at first, bt I caught my footing and was running. Two monkeys swooped down without warning and grabbed me, pulling me away from Killian.
"Killian." I yell as I get carried away.
"Emma." Killian yelled as the monkeys flew off in the direction of the Wicked Witch of the Wests castle. I struggled against the monkeys but they had a good grip on me. We neared the castle. It wasn't as pretty as my parents, but it was a castle. I was dropped in a room with a crystal ball and a young girl that was curled up in the chair, until she saw me.
"Mommy." Sarah said, running to me and hugging me hard. I held her close in my arms, happy to have her in my arms. The Wicked Witch of the West walked towards us with a evil smirk on her face as one of the flying monkeys landed on her shoulder. Sarah buried her face in my neck.
"Good job my pretties with getting the Savior." The Wicked Witch said.
"What do you want with us?" I ask.
"The reign of your parents over and my time to rule. Your husband is on his way to save you both." Wicked Witch said. She left the room, locking the door behind her. I went and sat down in the chair, holding Sarah close. She fell asleep in my arms. I looked outside, hoping that Killian would get there soon. I even had a bad feeling.
Killian's POV. First my daughter, now my wife. I was really starting to hate those flying monkeys. I knocked out a guard and swiped his clothes. I heard one of the guards mention where my girls were to another guard and they are suppose to stay locked up. I smirked. I headed to the room without noticing the monkey watching and then flying off. I came to the door and used my pirate skills to pick the lock.
Emma's POV. I heard the door being picked and had a feeling I knew who it was. I gently shook my daughter awake as the door opened and Killian stepped in as a guard.
"Hope I didn't keep you both waiting to long." Killian said.
"Daddy." Sarah said, jumping out of my lap and running into Killian's arms. I hurried over and joined the hug. Killian held us both close.
"Lets get out of here and get us home." Killian said. We hurried out of the room. Killian was carrying Sarah in one arm and holding my hand in the other. Guards suddenly surround us.
"Well. Well. Looks like he did come to the rescue." Wicked Witch said. Killian took out his sword and pointed it at the Witch.
"Leave my family alone." Killian said.
"You really think that sword will stand against me. I have more magic then you think of." Wicked Witch said. She sent a spell, hitting the sword out from Killian's hand.
"Stop. Take me." I said, jumping in front of Killian.
"Emma. No." Killian said.
"That my dear can be arranged." Wicked Witch says sending a spell at me. Killian shoves me out of the way and takes the hit for me.
"Killian. NO!" I yell as he falls to the ground, looking dead.
"DADDY!" Sarah cries out. It felt like the world came crumbling down on me. This can't be happening.
AN: And I leave you with a cliff hanger. Don't worry. It will turn out good in the next chapter. I promise.
