Damn this bloody talking phone. He needed to speak to Emma and her parents for that matter too. Luckily Emma, as always picked up on the first ring.

"Hey Killian, missing me in the 5 minutes we've been apart"

"Swan every second i'm apart from you, I miss you, but that is beside the point, Ursula informed me about the trio of darknesses plan"

"See I told you you had a mark in the hero column, Can you come round to the Loft i'm sure my parents and Regina would like to hear it too."

"Aye that you did Swan and i'll be there post haste."

As soon as she was off the phone she was met with a sea of knowing smiles, God she was blushing, it's not like there was enough ,time in this town to take their relationship to the next level.

"Honestly are you and Captain guyliner inseperable now" Regina sighed"

She rolled her eyes before answering "Actually he has information about Gold's plan"

Minutes later there was a knock at the door, her mother greeted him with. "Captain", her father just glared.

"Milady"

"Okay then, mom why don't you let him in the door I want to know what that Son of a bitch is planning."

"The author is only part of the problem, whilst he may have been responsible for writing the

happy endings, or depriving characters of their happy endings, he alone can't change them"

it was then he was interrupted by a chorus of "Whys" and "How does that help"

He turned towards Emma, her eyes beginning to fill with worry and he hated to be the one to break this to her, but he knew they would get through it together.

The Author can't change the happy endings, because he is not the person who gave everybody them, Emma did.

Shocked gasps filled the room. He pulled Emma closer, "Their plan is to fill Emma's heart with darkness."

Her eyes darted upwards, confusion taughted the faces of her parents. "No, no. I never wanted to be the Saviour, I never chose to do this. Author or no author i'm not going dark"

That's when Henry piped up, tears now streaming freely down his face "It's ...it's my fault, I forced you to break the curse. Now I've bought this on you."

Emma swallowed hard, regret causing a lump in her throat "No Henry that's not what I meant. oh god I'm sorry. it's just I can't lose this. I can not lose my family"

At that genuine smiles lit up on this odd ensemble, even regina cracking a smile.

"How is this even possible, she's the product of true love, she can't go dark"

That's when Henry piped up, tears now streaming freely down his face "It's ...it's my fault, I forced you to break the curse. Now I've bought this on you."

Emma swallowed hard, regret causing a lump in her throat "No Henry that's not what I meant. oh god I'm sorry. it's just I can't lose this. I can not lose my family"

At that genuine smiles lit up on this odd ensemble, even regina cracking a smile.

"How is this even possible, she's the product of true love, she can't go dark"

Regina couldn't look at her son or Emma, she just hung her head in genuine sorrow and regret glancing towards The Charmings before chosing her next words carefully "Henry i don't know but i do know your mom is one of the most stubborn and feisty people who I've ever met and will do everything to stop the darkness overcoming her. She loves you and she'd never hurt you or anyone else she loves"

Emma shot Regina an appreciative glance, despite their differences, one thing they could always agree on was that Henry had always been the one to help save them, it didn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Her superpower had been going crazy since they'd arrived. But no her parents would never lie to her,would they?

Their faces told a different story; "Mom, Dad? "
