Death Love Life-Swanqueen

by longlivetheEvilQueen

AU Emma finds herself starting a new part of her life and has no clue what to do. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She also had dark brown eyes, a small but strong figure and an air about her that told me that she has power and knows how to use it in very painful ways but I sure hoped that she didn't. That tiny bit of hope got smashed by a fifty-pound sledge.

-Chapter 5-

Killian and I sat on the beat up old couch that our parents had for about forever. Well since their college days...so about a hundred years ago. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Mom was working on filling out bills and paychecks for the ice cream shop she owned. Dad was out in front of the house cutting the grass. We could hear the cer-chunk, cer-chunk of the old engine, and the cresendo of the music blaring from the tv speakers. Killian and I were watching the movie King Arthur, it was at the bloody scene at the end where a bunch of pepople were dying. He was bouncing on the couch and clutching my arm. He was way too excited to see so much blood for a nine year-old.

...Then he started crying because it ended. As soon as the credits started to roll he jumped up, wearing a face-spliting grin. It's a miracle that he didn't give himself emotional whiplash.

He gripped my hand in both of his smaller ones and tugged, "C'mon lets go!"

I sighed in defeat. If I said no then he would just sulk around and pout for an hour, or until I gave in. "Fine, w-"

"Yayyy! Okay, lets play tag." His blue eyes sparkled, he was bouncing again.

"But there's only two of us Killian." I put my arm around his thin shoulders, he leaned into the hug.

"So?"

"You can't play tag with on-" He stuck his lower lip out, scrunching his eyebrows up and tears filled his eyes, "ly two...people." I finished with another sigh.

"Please Emma! I wanna play tag with you!" He begged, his voice wavering.

How could someone so small and young be so manipulative? "Alright. Alright, I'll play."

He shouted loudly, nearly knocking me over with a hug. I tried not to, I really did, but I couldn't stop the grin that found its way onto my lips.

He pulled away quickly yelling, "Tag, you're it!"

Than he ran off laughing.

I had not realized that I had started crying. I leaned heavily onto the counter, my knees weak, unable to hold my weight I was shaking so badly.

I heard a strangled breath. A sob. I opened my eyes realizing that it was me. I'd never get to see my little brother again. Play with him. Watch him grow up, be there for him like older sisters should be.

I bit my lip. Hard. I was gripping the counter so tightly that my fingers were going numb. I grit my teeth and forced myself to take deep breaths.

I pushed the thoughts away. I wasn't going to waste my time crying. No point in it.

Okay, obviously Henry isn't Emma's little brother. The reason I made Killian her brother and not Henry is cause I like Killian, and wanted to include him in this somehow. I have an idea of what I want to do with Henry in this and it won't be in flashbacks. Thanks to KarenDani4Ever for the guess!

Thanks for reading! XD
