~ Please comment as you read along coz this is a rlly tense chapter!! i love reading ur reactions! Enjoy! ~

: Writer's POV :

"Long time no see, Killian." 

The figure called out with a strong, bold accent. The sound sent a cold chill down your back, almost as if someone had brought upon a never-ending winter right inside of you. It was said with such spite and sharpness that even the devil would think it rude. 

Every single guest turned their heads to see the new party crasher, to catch a glimpse of his face. To see whether they knew who he was. But no one had ever seen him before.... or so everyone thought. There was a member amongst the crowd that had set their eyes upon this man before, they just didn't know it yet.

"Who are you and what the hell are you doing crashing my wedding?!" Emma Jones' voice called over to the unnamed being, her grip tightened on her husbands hand and his jaw clenched. He reached over and rested his hand protectively over her baby bump.

"Ahh, of coarse Emma. I apologise. Killian must have never mentioned me." The stranger smirks, allowing people to show confused faces, especially Emma and Killian. 

Emma turns her head to Killian and whispers almost angrily to him, "You know him? Who is he? Killian?" The problem was, the vexed pirate did not have an answer to this question. He had no idea if he knew the person nor who he was. 

"I don't bloody know, love... I'm as confused as you." Killian replies, trying his hardest not to show a sliver of fear, even though he was brimming with the emotion.

"You know what," The figure says, tapping his foot impatiently, "I think we should take this some place else. Somewhere, a bit more... homely." He flicks his hand and with many gasps from the audience, himself and the newly wed couple vanish into thin air.

***

The cloud of smoke that had vanished the three, disappeared, leaving them alone at the docks. Emma and Killian quickly regain their awareness and take in their surroundings, those of which confused them even more. 

Why did he call this place homely?

What does he want?

Who is he?

"Alright, we're alone. Now what do you bloody want with us?" Killian sternly asks, not once letting go of his wife's hand. The stranger cackles.

"You still haven't got it yet? Has this land really made you that dim? Did you not get your father's wits?" He jokes, staring deeply into Killian at the mention of his father. Killian clenches his jaw, almost breaking his teeth.

"What do you know of his father?" Emma persists, "Killian, are you sure you do not know this man?" 

"I... I don't know..." He barely whispers.

"Has it finally clicked? Or do you want me to give you a clue?" Emma and Killian's silence answers his question and he begins.

"About 30 odd years ago, Killian here had a little run in with his father, you see, Emma." This surprises Emma as Killian had once told her his father had abandoned him as a child, which was 300 years ago. He had said he had never seen him again.

"W-Whats that got to do with you?" Emma stutters, Killian is silent besides her.

"Well, I was there. And what he did....  affected me greatly." A ticking time bomb went off inside of Killian's head.

No, it can't be.... There must be another explanation... He thought.

His grip loosens on Emma's hand and his mouth opens slightly in shock. The man begins to cheer.

"Hooray! He's finally getting it! The fantastic Captain Hook has cracked the code!" He mocked.

"Killian? What is going on? What happened?" Killian remained silently staring at who was in front of him, he still couldn't believe it. 

"Liam..." He said coldly.

"Oh, your a clever one aren't you?" Liam says.

"What? Killian, you told me your brother was dead. You told me he was killed by poison! How is he here now and why is he being so horrible?" Emma was still in a mist of confusion, completely oblivious to what was really going on.

"My brother is dead." He simply replies, never breaking eye contact with Liam.

"Then who is this, Killian? I don't understand!" Emma raises her voice slightly.

"Shall I explain it to you? Well-"

"Don't. I can tell my own wi-" But before Killian could continue, Liam had flicked his wrist and Killian's mouth was shut. It was as if a piece o tape was stopping him from speaking...

"Killian!"

"Hush, Emma and let me tell you my story. About 30 years ago, Killian Jones made a deal with the Evil Queen."

"Regina." Emma says. Killian struggles beside her but his feet were suddenly unable to move from the ground, nor his arms from his waist.

"He wanted to get to this land so he could kill Rumplestiltskin and avenge his first love. So, he agreed to kill the Evil Queen's mother to do so. However, the Queen had a test!" Killian continued to struggle against his invisible restraints, Emma, on the other hand was listening intently to Liam's story.

"The test was to face a man. A man who Killian must kill to destroy any weakness he held."

"Who was this man? You?" Emma asks.

"Oh no no no no, no! It was his daddy!" Killian's eyes fill with sorrow as he gives up fighting to be free, he knew he could not stop Emma knowing now.

"What...?" She whispers.

"Dont interrupt! Its rude! Now, the thing was, Killian couldn't kill his beloved father. So, he decided to spare him, this meant supplying important papers, blah blah blah. Mr Daddy had a request, however. He needed two papers."

"Why?" Emma said, glancing nervously at Killian.

"Daddy had a son! And this made Killian very jealous!" Liam continued to smirk, "So do you want to know what Captain Hook over here did?" He asked rhetorically. Emma gulped. "He killed his father."

Emma didn't believe it. She couldn't believe it. How could one kill their own father? She loved Killian no matter what, but, how could he do that?

"No...." She said, anger building up inside of her. "Your lying!"

"Use your superpower Emma! You know I'm telling the truth!" Emma takes a step back, scared that he knew her secret. "But, wait! I haven't finished! Don't forget about the fact his Dad had a son! A son who loved his father with all his heart since his mother had died! A son who didn't know what he would do without his only parent! A son... who had just lost his happy ending.... all... because... of... him." Liam finished, pointing darkly at Killian.

"And where is this son now then, huh?" Emma asks, already knowing the answer.

"He's right in front of you."
