Finding You {UNDER EDITING}

Chapter 3

*Emma's POV*

I wake up to a loud banging on the door. I open my eyes to a new sight, like a hotel room at Granny's. I look over to find Killian right next to me fast asleep. Memories from last night come flooding back. Someone bangs on the door again. I get up and grab a bathrobe that was hanging on the post of the bed, to cover my bare skin. I tie it around my body very tight, then opening the door to find Grumpy there. I step out of the room leaving the door barely cracked so he doesn't see Killian and get any ideas.

"Yes Grumpy?" I say in a hurry.

"It's Archie. I saw him walking with a man in a blue cloak. The guy offered Archie a drink, or what it looked like anyway, but then he just dropped dead. Not a scratch on him. I asked everyone where Sheriff Swan was ans Granny said you were here. Come quick you must see." He says grabbing my arm and starts pulling me down the hallway.

"Wait! Let me get ready." I say motioning to my robe. "Be there in 30."

I run back inside, and straight into the shower. When I am done I quickly get dressed in the clothes I was wearing yesterday. Slipping on my shoes and kissing a sleeping Killian on the cheek, I am out the door.

When I get outside there is an enormous group of people surrounding Archie's body.

"Everybody I'm going to have you leave the area. this will be under investigation. Thank you!" I yell over all the peoples voices. I watch as everyone scrambles out of the area leaving me and Archie. There doesn't need to be an investigation, I already know what happened.

"Emma, what happened?" I hear my father say as he approaches the scene.

"Cornelius, the man we traded with for the bean was Cornelius."

"What did you trade him?"

"A goblet that takes your soul when you drink out of it. He is using it to get to me. He even gave me a warning last night. How can I be so stupid." I say mumbling the last part to myself.

"Where were you last night?"

"With Killian." I say.

"I should have known you were with the pirate." My father says putting his hand on his forehead and giving a loud sigh.

"What do you mean, you should have known?"

"Well you didn't come home last night, we didn't know where you were but now I know...What exactly were you two doing last night?"

"Can we please not talk about this right now." I say through gritted teeth.

"Fine but we will talk about this later." He says as he walks away.

'Great now I have to find out a way to bring back the souls, and a way to destroy and find Cornelius.' I whisper to myself.

Killian was wrong, the savior never gets a break.
