BOOK ONE: MEETING THE VILLIANS
Prologue:
"...and sometimes the best teacup, is chipped."
Overcome with emotion he stepped toward her and they both leaned in and kissed each other with their witnesses smiling at them. With a smile they backed away long enough to hear Archie say something.
"I now pronounce you man and wife." Archie said as he and Moe walked away happily.
Gold and Belle smiled at one another. "Let's go to our home." He said to her.
She smiled and kissed him. "I would love to."
Meanwhile...
"Will you go out with me?" Hook asked.
"Hook-"
"Killian."
"Killian, of course." She answered as she took his jacket collar and brought her lips to his.
Elsewhere...
Regina and Robin walked into Granny's diner and had a seat. Seeing Emma with Hook she smiled at them and continued to where Robin sat. As soon as she sat down he leaned across the table and kissed her. "I love you." He said.
"I love you too." She smiled at him.
September 21st, 2014...
Gold and Belle went to the library, the bookshelves were neatly organized and filed away. He knew that all those days of her sheer exhaustion had worked out in the end.
He nodded to the empty space. "Care to dance?"
"Right now?"
"Why not? If I recall correctly you and I have never had a dance before."
"You're right."
"Then why not as husband and wife?"
She took his hands. "I would love to."
Music played in the background and for a couple of songs neither spoke but looked into each other's eyes. Soon he began to trip over his own feet and she playfully smiled at him.
He swept her off her feet holding on to her feet above the ground but their faces mere centimeters.
"Oh, Rumple. How I love you." She kissed him for a while before he set her back on her feet.
"And I love you too."

The Curse and The Mystery
September 28th, 2014...
Early in the morning, around eight o'clock, Regina knocked on Emma's apartment door.
"Regina?" Emma asked yawning. Henry came up to Emma's side. "What are you doing here?"
Henry decided to speak up. "Because I called her." He said causing Emma to turn and look at him. "Mom I want to spend time with both of you," He looked at Regina. "Equally."
"Come in." Emma said at last. Moved by the young boy's words. They took a seat in the living room while Henry got his things.
"I just hope Mary Margret doesn't start teaching him hope speeches." Regina said.
"And he's getting pretty good with those wooden swords." Emma said. "In no time at all he'll be as good as... my father."
"I wouldn't be too surprised if Rumplestiltskin started teaching him magic. He has been rather not himself these days." Henry was ready to go but before they left Regina handed Emma a red apple.
On the way out Regina and Henry saw Hook. To Henry (the only one of them he regarded) he said, "Morning lad." Then he ruffled the boy's hair and continued up the stairs. He reached Emma's apartment and she invited him in. Emma took a bite of the apple without realizing it and collapsed into the pirate's arms. Hook not knowing what to do yelled in an attempt to wake her up. He eventually finds Emma's phone but had no idea how to use it... but then the phone rings and he knows how to pick up because he's seen Emma do it all the time and it turned out to be David.
Hook picks up and says. "Emma, she, she, she passed out need help now."
"Hook calm down what happened to Emma?" David said.
"She ate an apple and passed out."
"Wait did she get that apple from Regina?"
"I don't know but I did just see Regina and Henry walk out the door."
"Ok I am on my way just stay calm and make sure Emma stays safe, alright?" David hangs up and calls Dr. Whale to come and help and meet him at Emma's apartment. David gives him the address. David then tells Mary Margret that Emma ate an apple from Regina and passed out. He also gives Rumple and Belle a quick call. Mary Margret then grabbed Prince Neal and ran out the door with David. They got to the apartment only to find neither Emma nor Hook were there. David started to worry but quickly remembered that had Hook pick up the phone earlier, but if they were kidnapped the phone would be heard by the kidnapper and that won't be good, so David was going to have to go after them on his own.
Hook had taken Emma to the docks where was waiting. Hook knew that it was the safest place to be because there was no one there. However, it is not safe place to be because they were not the only ones there.
David remembers that Ruby can sniff her out and sends her to find Emma but for some reason she thinks Emma's in Gold's shop so David goes there but Emma's not there suddenly David gets a call from Emma. David picks up. "Hello?"
"Don't worry mate Emma is fine." Hook says.
"Hook! Where are you? I told you to keep Emma safe!"
"She is safe, we're at the Docks"
"Oh good thinking I'll meet you there." David hangs up. "Come on guys, she is at the hospital, Hook took her." But David had no idea that Hook really meant the docks and not the docs.
Hook, meanwhile, is still trying to wake her up and shakes her like a doll. "Come on Swan, wake up!" Hook says fear glistening in his nervous eyes.
David and everyone gets to the Hospital and they ask where Emma is and they reply that she isn't here and David gets furious but manages to calm down and calls Emma's phone.
"Hook! Damn it, where are you! "
"I am at the docks"
"You mean the hospital?"
"No! The docks you know with you know, boats..." There is a clashing then crackling sound. "NOOOO!" Hook exclaimed and before he hung up there was a gunshot.
"We need to get to the docks fast!" David said hurriedly and they rushed to the docks but when they got there it was too late, Emma and Hook were both gone.
