Silent treatment

Two weeks quickly passed for Elena but it felt like years for Killian because during this time, Elena didn't even talk to him or look in his direction. It was as if she suddenly hated him as much as she hated Xavier and it made him heartbroken and scared.

If she's this upset because he failed to protect her like he had promised then what would she do when she finds out that he killed her parents? That he was the reason for her trauma?

These thoughts bit Killian in the skin and left him sleepless for days. Fuck, he didn't want to lose her. He couldn't bear the silent treatment. He'd fucking been through a lot in the forest just to find a way to be with her again. This was fucking harder than he had imagined. He wished he could explain everything to her but that would cost him so much more.
