Don't Blame Me | Once Upon a Time |

Chapter Nineteen

Blair had gone off to her old room, it was still the same as when she left, all her drawings still there as well. Her portrait of Milah, of Cyrus, of Baelfire. All of them were gone and now she had nobody but her father from her past. she knocked some pages over revealing a portrait of Ben, she hadn't thought of him in a long time. She hated it, she hated that she kept losing people, movements pulled her out of her thoughts. Killian standing in the doorway.

"Was wondering where you went. You all right?" He asked her sitting next to her.

"I'm fine," Blair said looking at the portraits on her desk. "I'm surprised you kept everything the same."

"Why wouldn't I? Listen Blair I know I was never there and I ruined every chance of you being able to trust me, but I am here now, and I promise I will never leave you alone again." And he hugged her, Blair was reluctant but she hugged him back, with Blair losing every person she was close to she had to hold on to her father there was no way she would lose him too. She smiled at him. "Thanks, papa, but really I'm fine." Killian didn't believe it but he didn't want to push her away again so he would just let it slide this one time.

"I'm gonna go out onto the deck know, I need some air." Killain smiled and she went ahead.

Blair always was connected to the sea, it gave her peace. But then the ship started to become unsteady and David and Mary Margaret tried to steady it but the waves were becoming too aggressive. "What are you two doing?" Regina yelled.

"Trying to keep it steady."

"Hold on!" David yelled.

"Prepare for attack!" Killian told them as he and Emma came above deck.

"Be more specific." Regina asked him.

"If you've got a weapon, then grab it!" That's when they heard the screeches coming from the ocean.

"What's out there? A shark? A whale?" Emma asked holding on. "A kraken?" David guessed.

"Worse. . . Mermaids." There was a whole pod of mermaids that had surrounded the ship and everyone was just holding on to whatever they could.

"Mermaids!?" Emma yelled.

"Yes, and they're quite unpleasant." Killian said. "You think?" Regina sassed him.

"I'll try and outrun them."

"How many of them are there?" Emma asked, as they all felt as there tails hit the side of the ship.

"I will not be capsized by fish!" David ran before going towards the canon and blasting it while Emma and Mary Margaret caught one of them.

"One, there are dozens of them." Regina said. "Enough of this." Regina summoned a fireball before throwing it into the ocean and then three more before the mermaids swam away. "There they're gone."

"Not all of them." Mary Margaret said as her and Emma were still struggling with the one they caught. "What about that one?" Regina used her magic a transported her onto the ship, Killian looking at her and keeping Blair closer than she was.

"Get that thing off my ship!" Killain told them.

"No! Now we have a hostage." Regina said.

"I hate to say it, but I'm with Hook.mThose things just tried to kill us." David said.

"And perhaps we should find out why." Regina said.

"How? By torturing her?" Mary Margaret questioned.

"Well, if need be, sure." The mermaid grabbed a shell next to her and blew into it Blair covered her ears. "What the hell was that?" Emma asked.

"A warning." She said and thunder started to rumble. "Let me go. Or die."
