Ch10 - The Saviour Pt2
I wrapped my other hand around it; I panicked, as it was still shaking. What was going on with me?...
I took a breath, trying to calm myself; as I made my way back to where everyone was standing, as they began to formulate a plan. I couldn't make out what they were saying, I heard my mom mention the town hall; and how Hyde would probably go there.
As I got closer that's when I heard Regina.
"I for one, don't like the idea of this Mr Hyde having ownership of Storybrooke; so why don't we offer Dr Jekyll to him, as some kind of trade?"
My mom spoke.
"Do you think, that could work?"
Regina answered, just as I came into view.
"Yes, it should work...Emma, what do you think?"
I sighed, before answering.
"I think it's a good plan, and once he leaves; I doubt his friends will stick around"
Regina smiled at me, before speaking.
"Alright, we have a plan; but just incase it doesn't, I'll seal my vault. I don't want any of our visitors breaking in. I'll fill Zelena in, on my way"
I nodded, before she smiled; before heading off. I turned back to face my parents, as Henry and Dr Jekyll continued searching for parts for the weapon. After a few minutes, Jekyll stated that he had what he needed; and he was going to start constructing it right away.
He seemed confident that it would work, and Hyde wouldn't be a problem; but my dad wanted to be sure, so he suggested that we use cuffs that even Hyde couldn't break out of.
We headed back into town, my parents went back to the loft; Henry joined them, as Killian and I headed to the station. Once we got there, we searched for the cuffs; during our search, I could feel Killian watch me.
I turned around, to face him; I smiled at him, before reaching up, placing my hand on his cheek. My thumb gently traced the scar that resided there, I could see worry in his eyes; as his gaze reminded locked with mine.
He smiled, and I noticed it didn't reach his eyes; I spoke.
"Killian, I'm sorry about earlier; but I promise I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about"
He smiled softly, while searching my eyes; as he gently removed my hand from his face. He then lifted it, placing a light kiss on the back of it; I smiled, as I felt my face flush slightly.
He spoke.
"As long as your sure love...but remember this; I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere"
I smiled, before moving away slightly; to get back to searching for the cuffs, when my dad walked in. Dr Jekyll walked in behind him, holding the weapon; I couldn't help but think that he was keen to get rid of his evil half, sooner rather than later.
He explained how it worked, and all I had to do was point and shoot; and it would blast him, stunning him almost. I nodded, before taking it from him. I text my mom, telling her that the weapon was ready; she text back, telling me that she was with Regina and they'd meet us at the town hall.
We left the station,
We went over the plan, as Regina and my mom arrived; I got into position, Killian and my dad moved to stand beside me.
Regina spoke to me.
"Emma, ready?"
I sighed softly, before answering her.
"Yeah"
I got the weapon ready, as Regina moved towards the entrance; she grabbed Jekyll, she raised her voice as she spoke again.
"Mr Hyde, why don't you come out; and take what you really want? Or shall I deprive you of the pleasure you seek, and kill him myself?"
Well that worked, as he appeared within seconds; he spoke.
"Regina"
She answered.
"Here's what's going to happen, leave town; and Jekyll is all yours..."
Hyde responded.
"The problem is, my work is here; in Storybrooke, and it's only beginning. So how about, I alter the deal?...I take Jekyll, and keep Storybrooke; and you avoid embarrassing yourself, because while everyone was afraid of the Queen...you not quite as much"
I heard Regina speak again.
"No deal"
She lifted her hand, conjuring a fireball; that's when I moved in, weapon poised. She threw the fireball, hitting him; and just as I was about to blast him, my hand started shaking again.
That's when I seen the same images as before, swords clanging; I was fighting someone...but who, I don't know. I barely heard Regina, as she said my name
"Emma!"
I tried to use the weapon, but the vision was clouding my mind; Regina said my name again, slightly panicked this time.
"Emma!..."
She gasped, I could tell she was being choked; and there was nothing I could do about it, as I was frozen in absolute terror. All because I'm being plagued by this vision again, Regina said my name once more "Emma..." it was slightly stained, it still didn't shake me from what was unfolding in my mind.
She shouted it, this time.
"Emma!"
With that, I shook my head; coming back to reality, to use the weapon. I blasted him, and he fell back; landing on the hood of the car, that's when Dr Jekyll moved in to place the cuffs on him.
My dad and Killian rushed over to help him, I watched as he struggled against them; I smiled internally as Jekyll placed the cuffs on him, he spoke.
"Specially made, you won't be breaking out of those"
Killian, alongside my dad; lifted Hyde, taking him to the car. I made my way towards Regina, feeling slightly guilty that I allowed myself to be overwhelmed by the vision again.
I spoke.
"Are you ok?"
Regina sighed, as she spoke to me; mild concern laced her tone.
"Is something wrong? Why did you hesitate?"
I shook my head, before answering.
"Nothing's wrong, I'm fine"
Well obviously I'm not, but I still can't tell anyone; I walked ahead of her, just as my dad was putting Hyde into the car. Hyde spoke.
"Are you really...Saviour?"
Saviour? He knows I'm the saviour? How?...
My parents spoke at the same time.
"Shut up! You are our prisoner now"
"Ignore him Emma"
If only, I could; what's that saying? Easier said than done? Well I guess that applies here, Hyde didn't take heed; as he spoke again.
"Yes ignore me, just like your tremors..."
He looked smug, as he said it; so apparently he knows about those too, great...I just hoped that Killian hadn't heard him, if he did; well he wasn't letting on that he had.
I spoke.
"Wait, wait; what do you know?"
I had to know, because if he has answers; as to why this is happening to me, then I need to know. He spoke, in a smug tone.
"More than you...if you wish to learn what's been happening to you; you know where to find me"
I stood there, as Killian got into the car; followed by my dad, as they were taking him to the cell that Regina placed Zelena in after the whole fake Marian thing.
After they left, I decided to head back to the crash site; I needed to clear my head, I placed my hand on the rope. It started shaking again, maybe it was just stress.
I mean I've been through a lot recently, how could I not be stressed? I stood there, allowing my thoughts to drift; when I heard something, I heard footsteps.
It was Archie, and Pongo; how did he find me? I noticed he had takeaway cups in his hand, I spoke.
"Archie"
He answered.
"Hey..."
I looked at Pongo.
"Pongo! Hey!..." I looked at Archie again.
"What are you two doing here?"
Archie spoke.
"Well I heard you were out here, looking for new arrivals; and I thought maybe...uh, maybe you want some coffee?"
Uh huh, he didn't just happen to think of me; someone sent him to look for me. I spoke.
"My parents, sent you?"
He nodded, before speaking.
"Yeah, they're a little worried about you Emma; they thought it might be easier for you to talk to..."
You? A cricket? Seriously? I'm fine; my thoughts raced, as I spoke.
"A cricket?"
Oh god! That came out wrong, fix it Emma; like right now! He stuttered.
"Uh..."
Yeah, now you've done it! I spoke.
"Sorry, I didn't mean that; like I was anti...cricket, I just...I'm not really in the mood for therapy, right now"
I'm fine, so I really don't need to talk about it; or do I? I looked away, as Archie spoke.
"And I've found, usually that's when people need it the most. You've been fighting bad guys for years without a break, when I met you all those years ago; you had nothing but walls around you to protect you, but since then with Henry, and your family...and Hook, those walls are down"
Yeah they are, and it's scary; I spoke.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
He agreed.
"Of course, it is; but it also let in all the collateral damage of all that fighting..."
Thanks for that, I'm well aware of that! I spoke, reaching for the coffee that he offered me; mild irritation in my tone as I did.
"Great, then how do I fix that?"
He smiled, before speaking again.
"With time, and some hard work"
Time? I don't have time, I'm the saviour; I spoke.
"Can't you, like give me a pill or something?"
He shook his head, before speaking; his tone light.
"When it comes to fixing our biggest problems...Emma, there are no shortcuts"
Well that's just great, what was the point of this? If he isn't going to help me? Well if he's not going to help me, then I'll go to the one person that might.
Hyde...
I know it's stupid, but I need answers; I thanked Archie for the coffee, and made my way to the hospital. Once I got there, I quickly made my way to the psych ward; I was led to Hydes cell, here goes nothing...
I took a breath, as the door was unlocked; when I entered, I noticed he was standing by the bed. I walked in, stopping a few feet away; taking a calming breath, he spoke.
"So you've taken me up on my offer, smart girl..."
Excuse me? I spoke, my tone; laced with mild aggravation, and confusion.
"Keep calling me girl, and see how that works out for you"
His chains rattled, as he turned to face me; he spoke.
"Why don't you take these off me, and see how that works out for you?"
Nope! Not going to happen, I spoke; making my reason for being here, clear as I did.
"You said you knew what was wrong with me, prove it!"
He sighed, as I moved closer; to stand beside him.
"Emma, you were a prisoner once; you know how this works"
Ok, this guy knows way too much about me; how'd he know I was in prison? Maybe Gold told him? I spoke.
"What makes you think, I was in prison?"
Come on, Buddy! Tell me, how do you know? He spoke.
"I was a warden, I know that caged look; that's a look, that doesn't quite fade...So you must know that prisoners respond to carrots and sticks and you brought neither, next time; try a bottle of Syrah and two glasses..."
Ha! Like that was going to happen...
