Chapter Five

Locate

"I want Daddy and Mommy!" Harper complained. It was now around ten o'clock at night and Killian still wasn't home.

Snow tried to pull Harper into a hug, but she pushed her away. "Harper-"

"I only want Mommy and Daddy!"

"Harper, honey, you need to go to bed," Snow explained, holding out a pair of pajamas.

Harper shook her head. She knocked the pajamas out of Snow's hand. "No!" Harper ran out of her room.

Snow sighed. "Harper." Snow got up and followed the sound of whimpers. The sound was coming from Killian and Emma's room. Snow opened the door and saw Harper. She was cuddled up in the blankets, holding onto her blanket, and crying.

Snow walked towards the bed. She crawled into the bed next to her and pulled her into a hug. She knew that it wouldn't take long for Harper to figure out that Emma was missing. Snow kissed her head. "Shhh. It's okay."

"I want Daddy and Mommy," Harper whimpered.

"I know. They're coming home soon."

"Is this soon enough?" a voice asked.

Harper looked up and smiled. "Daddy!" She stood up and ran across the bed. Killian ran over to the bed and then pulled Harper into a hug. "Daddy, I missed you."

"I missed you too, love." Killian kissed her head multiple times.

"Where were you?" Snow asked. "We've been worried sick!"

Killian nodded. "I know and I'm sorry. I'll tell you about it tomorrow."

Snow nodded. She walked over to her son-in-law and granddaughter. "Goodnight, you two, be safe."

"Goodnight, Grandma," Harper said.

Snow smiled and walked out.

Killian rubbed Harper's back. "I love you."

"I love you too, Daddy." Harper pulled back. "Is Mommy home yet?"

Killian sighed and shook his head. "I don't know when Mommy is going to be home."

"W-why not?" Harper asked.

Killian looked down. What was he going to tell her, his 5-year-old daughter? "She's uh…"

Harper smiled a little. "Daddy can't remember." She giggled.

Killian chuckled a little. "You are correct, love. Daddy has a bad memory because Daddy is getting old."

Harper scrunched up her nose. "You're not old! You don't even have grey hair!"

Killian tapped her nose. "That doesn't mean I'm not old. Now, let's get you ready for bed."

Over the next ten minutes, Killian got Harper dressed in her pajamas, brushed her teeth, and read her a story. Killian tucked Harper into the blankets on his bed. He crawled in next to her. Harper cuddled up next to her dad. Killian smiled a little. He didn't want to let Harper out of his sight, not with Emma missing.

"Mommy!" Harper cried.

Killian's eyes shot opened. He turned his head and looked at her daughter. She was twisting and turning, face wet with tears. Killian pulled Harper into his lap. "Hey, Harper, wake up. It's okay."

Harper's eyes slowly opened. She whimpered.

"What happened, darling. Bad dream?" Killian asked quietly.

Harper nodded. "Mommy was… she was hurt and sad."

Killian's eyes widened. What if Harper's dream was the way to find Emma? What if Harper was able to dream about where Emma was? What if-?

No.

He couldn't make Harper do that. He couldn't make Harper keep having nightmares. She was five-years-old! He had to find another way.

Killian kissed her head. "It's alright. Daddy's here."

"Is Mommy okay?"

Killian sighed. He wished Harper wouldn't keep asking the same questions. He didn't want to lie to her. "Let's go back to bed."

Harper nodded and leaned against Killian, falling asleep in seconds.

Killian held Harper close. He needed to find Emma. He couldn't live like this. He couldn't keep lying to Harper. He couldn't live without his wife and Harper needed her mother. Killian sighed and leaned back, falling asleep to the thought that Harper was safe in his arms.

Emma groaned and opened her eyes. She was surprised at how dark it was, the only light being from the small light on a table. She sat up and rubbed her arm. She was so sore. What happened? Where was she? "Killian?" she called out.

"Glad to see that you're awake," a voice said.

Emma looked around, trying to find the source of the voice. She waved her hand, trying to brighten up the room, but it didn't work. She looked at her wrist and there was a black cuff.

The voice laughed. "I wouldn't even bother trying to use your magic. It won't work."

"Who are you?" Emma demanded.

"Oh, you know me. You've known me for quite some time. I'm surprised you don't recognize my voice."

Emma squinted her eyes, trying to find a figure in the dim light. "Where am I?"

"You're somewhere far, far away from home. Far away from your family. Far away from your husband and daughter."

"What do you want?" Emma yelled. Fear rose in her. Who was the was guy and how did he know her family?

"I want revenge, of course," the voice said as if it were obvious.

"Revenge? On who? And why?"

"Well, you and your family of course. And why? Well, we will leave that to another day."

Emma stood up. "Let me go."

"Sorry, no can do." There was a pause and then, "Goodnight." The light went out.

Killian sat in his truck and watched as Harper ran around in the playground at the school before school started. He didn't want to let her go to school. He wanted to hold her and never let go, but he knew Harper would just realize something was off; well, more than she already does.

Killian sighed as the bell rang and Harper ran inside. He leaned back in his seat and debated if he should take Harper out of school.

There was a knock on his window.

Killian jumped and looked out his window, Snow was standing there. Killian rolled down his window. "Yes? What is it? Is Harper alright? Has something happened?"

Snow gave him a soft smile. "Killian, the bell rang 5 seconds ago. Harper is fine."

Killian nodded. "Good. What do you need?"

"Well, I wanted to know where you ran off to last night." Snow folded her arms, trying to warm herself up.

"I went and told Regina what happened. We figured out something that we are going to do today."

Snow nodded. "Tell me about it after you pick up Harper from school."

Killian nodded. "Okay, I will."

"Regina, is it ready?" Killian walked into Regina's vault.

Regina nodded, not looking up from her book that she was reading to check if the potion was correct. "Almost… just checking it." Regina looked up a few moments later. "It's ready. Did you bring something of Emma's?"

Killian nodded. He held up his hand, where he was holding onto Emma's car keys. "Aye, here you go." He handed it over to Regina.

Regina grabbed the vial that had the locator potion in it. She took a breath and dumped the potion on the keys.

The keys flickered with light for a moment and then went back to regular color. It started floating. It floated towards the stairs. Killian glanced at Regina and the followed it.

They followed it past Granny's and Gold's shop, they ran past the station, and started running up the steps up to Emma and Killian's house. The keys flew through an open window. Killian yanked open the door and ran in.

The keys were laying on top of the couch.

Killian walked over to it and picked it up. "I don't understand. Emma should be here! Where is she?"

Regina put her hand on Killian's shoulder. "The locator potion brought us to the last place Emma was in this realm. Which means…"

"That Emma is in another realm," Killian finished. Killian lowered himself onto the couch and buried his face in his hands. How were they going to find Emma now?

"Hook… " Regina began, but didn't know how to finish. She just put her hand on his arm, hoping that it would help, but knowing that it wouldn't.

Killian shook it off. He stood up and started walking towards the door.

"Hook,where are you going?" Regina asked, following him.

"I'm taking Harper out of school. She's in danger when she's alone. She needs to be with me, where she's safe."

"Your truck is still at my vault-"

Killian faced her. "Then bring me back to your vault."

Regina sighed. "You can't just go take Harper out of school."

"I can. She's my daughter, not yours. I get to make the decisions."

Regina nodded, knowing she couldn't really do anything to change Killian's mind. She waved her hand and Killian's truck appeared in front of the house. "There."

"Thank you." Killian nodded and walked towards his truck.

"Rise and shine!"

Emma jumped awake. It took her a second to process what was happening. Then, she remembered. "Who are you?"

The voice laughed. "The same question?"

"Answer me."

"I'm just an old friend who knows something you don't."
"And what is that?" Emma asked.

"I can't tell you that! That wouldn't be any fun!" The voice got closer to her and then she wondered why she didn't just run. Then she remembered that she was in a cage. "I am an enemy, I can tell you that."

"I know that. I kind of figured that out when I realized I was captured," Emma sneered.

"Emma, Emma, Emma. I am quite disappointed that you haven't figure out who I am." The voice was getting closer.

"How am I supposed to know when I can't even see you?"

"Oh! Is that the problem? Let me fix it!"

Emma heard steps and then a person stepped into the light. Emma gasped.
