Hey guys so I'm new to the fan fiction world so I don't own once upon a time or any of it's characters. So I hope you enjoy this little one shot set just after season 5a but before the time when Emma is at her own house and hears the dagger."You're a failure Emma! " Hook's voice rang out through the big empty clearing and Emma searched for her true love, the one she had lost. However she couldn't see him only hear his cold furious voice as it echoed all around her."Killian?" Emma called out tears pooling in her eyes."You're such a pathetic fool!" he snapped and Emma wiped her eyes, tears streaming down her face rapidly when suddenly he was standing in front of her lightning flashed and crashed above them and Excalibur still lay impaled into his chest. His sea blue eyes were cold and uncaring."Killian please forgive me." Emma begged him and he scowled."Never you worthless coward! This was supposed to be you!" he screamed pulling the sword out and thrust it at Emma darkly...
Emma sat up screaming bloody murder. Sweat was drenching her face and tears spilled down her cheeks and neck. Emma was shaking with agony as she heard thudding up the stairs and she burried her head in her knees sobbing uncontrollably.
"Emma honey are you alright?" Snow asked running her hand over Emma's hair trying to soothe her clearly distraught daughter.
David stood in the Doorway holding baby Neal. His heart went out to his daughter, she looked so lost so broken. He locked eyes with Snow who nodded slowly they understood she would take Emma if he would take Neal. David nodded as he kissed Snow then the top of Emma's head before he retreated back downstairs.
Snow waited patiently as she just continued to stroke Emma's hair. The truth of the matter was Emma had been distant ever since Hook had died and Emma had been freed from the darkness. Snow couldn't really blame her though, that was a lot for someone to go through, in such little time.
"mom?" Emma's soft shaky voice brought Snow back to reality and she smiled at her daughter.
"what is it honey?" she asked softly and Emma wiped her eyes as she leaned against the headboard of the bed and Snow joined her and Emma immediately leaned her head against her mom.
"Mom...do you think...and be honest...do you think I'm not a good Savior?" Emma asked softly and Snow sat away from the headboard and turned Emma's chin so their eyes met.
"Now you listen to me Emma, what happened with Hook was not your fault. It wasn't even his the darkness came it took over you both. You didn't know what you were doing." Snow reasoned and Emma sighed burrying her face in her hands.
"but if I had taken the sword-" she started and Snow pulled her face up gently so their eyes met.
"Then you would have died." she finished for her stubborn daughter and Emma sighed sadly as she slowly slid off the bed grabbing Killian's leather jacket. She slipped it on and started for the door.
"I'm going to check on Killian's and my house...I should be back soon." she murmured and Snow slid off the bed and hugged Emma tightly.
"I'll be right here waiting for you when you're ready." she promised and Emma smiled halfheartedly as she turned and left. Snow sighed softly this was going to take awhile for Emma to heal but unlike last time Snow would be here ready and waiting to make it better.
Okay so that's just a little one shot I hope you guys liked it and please review and tell me what you think! :)
