Chapter 5
January 8, Afternoon. Jones' House
Killian was nervous about going home. He knew his grandmother had called his parents and he knew they would be mad. Plus, there would be all the "I told you so's" from Ocean. Well, he didn't wanna hear it.
When he reached the house, he took a deep breath before slowly opening the door. He peeked inside. No one. He slid off his jacket and threw it onto the couch. He crept upstairs into his bedroom, thinking maybe no one would notice him. He set his backpack down by his desk and was just about to relax before he heard his mother call his name.
"Yeah?" He called out.
"Come here." She commanded. He reluctantly went downstairs to meet her in her bedroom.
Killian stood awkwardly in the doorway. His older brother, (well, technically half-brother) Henry, was there too, looking just as mad as Emma.
"Why did you do it, Killian?" Emma asked.
Killian looked at Henry, then at his mother. Would they keep it a secret that Rosie had done it? What if Emma told Mr. Gold and Rosie got in trouble. She would hate him forever. But then again, Rosie was smart. She might find a way to deny it was her, without pinning it on Killian.
After thinking it over one last time, Killian told them the whole story. After hearing it, Henry looked as if he understood a little, but Emma was still upset.
"But Killian, you knew Rosie was gonna do something mean to your grandmother. And you still helped her. You will have to be punished for that."
Killian looked at the floor. "Okay."
"No fishing or sailing for a month."
Killian was about to protest but realized it would be better not to. He just stood there for a moment, then trudged off to his room.
"You gonna call Mr. Gold?" Henry asked Emma.
"I have to." She answered. "If anyone can teach that Rosie a lesson it's him."
