Killian awoke early, right during sunrise. He saw the bright star and watched it until it blinded him, then he let his gaze rest on Emma. She was still sleeping, her head resting on Killian's arm, the sun's rays kissing her beautiful, blonde, curly hair. His arm was still around her, and he swore he heard snoring softly. Killian stared at the beautiful woman in his arms, sleeping. Watching her, and examining her features, he remembered the last moon. Last night. However normal beings talk; he was a pirate, so it was perfectly fine for him to speak weirdly. "

He remembered her dare. "I dare you to punch Neal when we get back. And I have to be there to see it." Killian couldn't bloody wait to do the dare. Then he remembered his dare. Man, it was good. Killian remembered her lips crushing his and the spark it created. No, not a spark, something stronger and more meaningful than a spark.

He stared at her facial features again, her closed eyes, her hell of a mouth, and her glowing hair, until she woke up, that is.

"Morning, beautiful," Killian greeted her.

"Hey handsome," she replied, sitting up.

One of her eyebrows raised up, "how long have you been awake. You don't sound tired at al-" a yawn stopped Emma from continuing.

"Not that long," Killian replied, a smirk appearing on his face.

"C'mon," Emma said, standing up and giving him her hand, "we gotta find Henry."

Killian took her hand and continue to hold it as they walk up the mountain.

"I was waiting for a 'good morning' kiss, but, I guess not." Killian give her his best puppy face, but she didn't even care.

"Those don't work on me, Killian," Emma said, drifting her gaze back to the road, "I was with Henry. Not for that long, but I learned how to ignore those."

Killian stopped and turned his gaze from her brilliant eyes and lips. Fine. He was just going to have to find another way to get his morning kiss.

"I'm hungry," Emma complained a few minutes later, aha. Perfect way to get her to kiss him.

Killian pulled out a satchel which he kept in his coat. Emma's eyes widen and made a grab for it, but he held it just out of her reach, like he did with the bean.

"Kiss me," he said with the same tone he used when he dared Emma.

Emma rolled her eyes, let out an annoyed sigh, and brushed her lips with his, then she pulled back and grab the satchel.

"No fair," he wined, giving her his puppy eyes.

She rolled her eyes, muttered,"whatever," and peaked inside the satchel. She looked at him with a plain face, and an eyebrow raised.

"Sandwiches, really?!" Emma half yelled, but Killian covered her mouth.

"Better than nothing," he replied, taking half a ham and cheese sandwich, and taking a bite. Emma followed his lead and took a bite in her turkey sandwich.

As soon as they finished, Killian fished the satchel out of Emma's hand and put it back in his coat, somehow. He took her hand and led her up the road a little more until they reached a cave. Emma slipped behind Killian and her her chin on his shoulder.

"What now?" she asked, confused why they were there.

"We find Henry, what else?"

"In-in there?" Emma asked, a hint of panic in her voice.

"Where else?" Killan's voice was stern, but soft at the same time, "come on, lass," Killian took Emma's hand and led her inside the cave.

"Isn't there like, oh I dunno, creatures in here?" Emma whispered to Killian.

"I hope not," Killian replied.

"Hope not?!" Emma whispered loudly.

"Yeah," he confirmed, "hope not," and he pecked her cheek. "C'mon."

They searched it, but found no signs of Henry, or existence. They walked out and the first thing Emma said was: "how many more of those bloody things left?"

"'Bout a hundred," and immediately after he said that, he heard her choke; he walked and pat her back.

"Was joking," he grinned, "like two more."

"Why would you think he would even be in one of these creepy things?" Emma asked when they were walking to the next entrance.

"You are talking about Greg and Tamara. Do you not, like, know these people?" Killian asked, "they are dangerous. They don't care who they hurt in the way as long as they get what they want."

"But the mountains?" Emma asked and was immediately replied by Killian who said, "I don't know."

The two the them stopped at the entrance and took a deep breath before going in. The silence was awkward, but comfortable, well, to Killian at least. They walked in a straight line and ran out when they heard a deep growling.

"Not in there," Killian said, catching his breath, "hopefully."

Emma wasn't listening to him and he found her walking ahead of him.

"Something wrong, love?" Killian asked and Emma nodded.

"Henry," she whispered so quietly, Killian had to lean in closer to hear.

"Hey," he replied, trying to comfort her, and put his arm around her shoulders, "we'll find him."

Killian gave her a smile. Not a smirk, or a flirty smile. A normal, genuine smile. He gave her arm a squeeze, "it'll be alright, we'll find him."

They walked in the last cave, it was smaller than the other ones. Just a room big enough to be a bedroom. There was a chair, and ropes.

"Henry?" Emma asked, her voice breaking and she knelt at the chair. Killian followed her and put a hand on her shoulder, comforting her.

"They moved him," Killian told her, "or he escaped."

The mother, mourning the absence of his son, was kneeling, and the pirate stood next to her; they stood there until Killian had to carry her out and to the top. He buttoned up Emma's coat and then his own after taking out a telescope.

"Emma," his voice was gentle and soothing. She stood up and a smile replaced the sad face she had on a moment ago.

"It's amazing," Emma said, burring her head on Killian's shoulders, "it's a great place, no?"

"Absolutely, lass," he replied, "c'mon, we have to get going home."

They walked down Neverpeak Mountain and back to the Jolly Roger. As soon as they got back, it was sunset, and Emma didn't feel like talking; instead, she just walked right into the Captain's Cabin and started to cry.

A/N: I remembered I was supposed to have a flashback on how/why Emma trusts Killian and stuff. Well, that's going in the next chapter. The next one is probably mostly about Killian comforting Emma.

Sorry this ch is boring, really sorry. Next chapter is on Tuesday. give or take a few?
